Summer Movie Series

So I have been sitting around enjoying my new Comcast Digital Package. This afternoon I watched one of the most epic sports films of all time, the original Bad News Bears circa 1976. This movie had everything, comedy, drama, gambling, baseball, high brow art, low brow art, classical music, and a drunk hanging around kids.....all in the same film. I had a student named "Tanner" this year. Watching this film on cable for the first time in years lead me to the following conclusions....

Why does Buttermaker only have Rudy Stein as the only alternative pitcher? This is Mindboggling. What an idiot.

The wife of Coach Turner was smokin’….That guy was a giant D-bag.

The perfectly executed relay by the Yankee’s in the bottom of the 6th of the championship game was totally the blueprint for the Tom Emanski's defensive drills video.

Miguel Agular’s at bat in the bottom of the 6th was a precursor to Kevin Millar in game 4 versus New York in 2004.

"Chico’s Bail Bonds" has become one of the top 5 fantasy sports team names ever…

I am naming my first child Ahmed

Many people today are often shocked by the language, alcoholism, and child abuse exhibited in the film. I think it did wonders for breaking millions of gen X'ers out of the isolated shells of their suburban existence. Thus, it wasn't The Empire Strikes Back. Klosterman was wrong. What did I get when I was in need for such realism? the formulaic ridiculouslness of Growing Pains and Family Matters...

The new Costas show comes out this month with a show on Baseball. I know, this is the groundbreaking originality we have come to expect from HBO. I think the biggest problem with baseball today is the amount of time spent taking about the improvements needed in the game. It would be foolish to pin point any one area, with the exception of domestic development. Like the country, the game of baseball must transition smoothy in the next few years away from its recent drug related troubles. No Sport should be looked at as "pure", unless your 7. However, there is so much enterainment out there that the powers that be in MLB better start thinking progressively. The MLS is on the rise.....
