Links for July 21
I'm still recovering from an evening of minor league ball (to be discussed shortly), a Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows release party, and then an all-nighter made up of reading that book before I got spoiled more than I already had been.
So my links are less far-reaching than usual.
AOL Fanhouse: Peter Gammons: Scott Boras Has 'Ruined' Several Top Prospects. This is certainly exciting news to me, as there is no love lost between myself and Scott Boras. (Or, rather, there is no love lost between me and a draft system that doesn't allow teams to actually take the proper draft picks for their draft slots due to a messed up salary/bonus system. Bleh.
AOL Fanhouse (again): Girl Supposedly Paid $425 to Make Out with Padres' Kevin Kouzmanoff. Apparently people are all "But he's ugly!" To which I say, "But he hit a grand slam on the first major league pitch he saw!" Plus, whatever, it was for charity.
Bugs And Cranks: Tell the Truth About Steinbrenner. Seriously. Is he suddenly senile?
And I'm watching the comments of Let's Go Tribe: Jeremy Sowers: Signs of Life? because, hey, Sowers had an outing where he struck dudes out and didn't get shelled down in Triple-A. Sometimes you gotta get excited about the little things.

I started hearing about Steinbrenner's dementia/alzheimer's two years ago via Keith Olbermann (who apparently is friends with most of the Yankees FO and has a gigantic mouth). Back then he was saying that Steinbrenner could not remember players individual names and would instead refer to them as our SS, our 1B, etc. Also that he was being hussled out of games quickly so they wouldn't encounter press.
Also, oh man, did you watch last night's game? Don't get me wrong, Garko's bloopers crack me up like no one's business. I just wish they wouldn't happen in the 9th.
Falling over first base in the 1st, though: Comedy Gold.
I actually missed the game as I was getting in a minor league game/driving back home during game time. But man, Garko's mishaps on the field haven't gotten old and irritating yet. they're still somehow so hilarious to me so as to remain mostly charming.

This is why I have TiVo, so I can go back and watch Garko's flubs. I hope video surfaces of his fall last night. It's something to see, if only for his reaction afterward.
Well, as someone who used to date Kevin, he's not "ugly" and find it really out of character what he did. But, he has changed significantly since he moved up to the majors. ... The girl who "paid" to kiss him was lucky because he's a great kisser, but that's about all he has to offer. Let's just say he's not proportioned to the rest of his body.
