Threat Level Midnight

'Beware the fury of a patient man.' - John Dryden

One thing was learned Saturday night at the C’s preseason game at the The Sun, NBA super stars look great in casual Jay Petermen-esque sport jackets and relaxed fit jeans. They should have made an announcement "Fans,....Prepare for Boredom!!"

Other observations
The fact KG and The Truth did not play destroyed the night and made everyone recognize the need for these guys to stay healthy all season long. It was worse then hearing the words “Staring Stephen Baldwin”

The existence of the Gold Club-Groton has certainly increased the levels of Ho’s and Ho Wannabes in South Eastern CT 10 fold. I love it. I also don't live there...

The best part of the evening was the announcement of J.D. Drew’s grand slam. The place erupted. It was torture sitting there, watching the likes of Willie Green torch the shotty defense of Eddie House, thinking about what was happening at Fenway.

It is tough to be recognizable. I was sitting in the first row of people who had not officially pimped for The Sun could sit. It was about 7 feet from the court. Thus, the likes of Mike Gorman, Tommy Heinsoln, and Greg Dickerson were constantly walking passed me throughout the evening. They were often yelled at by the people in the stands for autographs or the effervescent “Where Gary?” To my knowledge nobody yelled anything to Ryan Rusillo.

Glen Davis is less a basketball player and more a Mack truck. If he somehow looses 40 pounds he could be the second coming of Anthony Mason. But that is a huge “if”. And notice how I didn’t say Charles Oakley.

You have not lived until you have watched the MLB playoffs and played the ponies with the degenerates at the Sports Book. It was like being the king of an island made of cigarette butts. Simply awesome.

Quick Comment on Joe Torre
It was interesting that Torre and the Ellen Dog Situation(The most ridiculous story in decades to get wall to wall coverage) got more pub then the veto of increases to the S-chip program (Husky B in CT). It was most interesting that somehow people thought the Yankees organization would handle the situation better then to offer 1 year at a pay cut. You inbred negative stereotypical pauns for Mass Media Conglomerates, trix are for pimpin. The only way this was ever going to end was with Torre trying to take the high road. It was funny how he only needed about 2 seconds to do it.

Friday night saw a nice victory by the UConn Football Huskies over the once powerful Cardinals of Louisville. I gave up on this game on three separate occasions during the evening. It was good to see them eventually rise to the level of a team ready to make the jump. They still have some huge games coming up, but it was a nice first step, especially coming off a terrible 1 point loss.

The Miami Dolphins are currently an abomination.

As for the Sox, all you can say is “Game 7”. It is all hands on deck. Win or GFY.
