The Morning Wood - 07/03/2006

Stud: Francisco Liriano

The Domincan import is clearly on par with other All-Star pitchers, especially Mark "Trail of Tears" Redman. 8IP, 3 hits against and 12 K's. Thanks for cleaning up guys!

Dud: Alex Rodriguez
2 Home runs, seven RBI's, maybe he was born with those lips, maybe it's Maybelline. ARod managed to hit the first homerun of his career that actually gave his team the lead. Most overrated 3rd baseman since this handsome fella.

Talk Around the Cooler

Your coworkers probably are afraid to talk about a black man robbing something but we had to mention Gary Matthew Jr's catch last night. We can't find the video so look it up yourself. Best catch of the year, and no, I'm not going to put up another nude Kathy Bates photo.

Speaking of black people robbing, how about these NBA deals? This one, this one, and this one. All I know is the Celts got a bargain last year. Maybe Nene can buy a last name now. Or at least some health.

Quick Hits
Pedro Martinez is missing his next start with a sore hip. My 90 year old grandmother says he's a pussy. If only Mrs. Cremins would have played with the balls a little bit more. Mannika Sorenstam is tearing Fat Hurst apart in the US Open. David Beckham gave up his captaincy of the English team yesterday. He still looks in charge here though.

Quick Note: we apologize for the poor quality of this Morning Wood. Giddy plus Hasmitt equals zero interesting thoughts.
