The Morning Wood - 07/20/2006

Because the three of us that normally run this site are lazy and more or less, worthless individuals, we've opened up the Wood to a close friend of ours, to be fondly referred to as JohnnyMac. Read the Wood - enjoy it, laugh, cry, make love to it.

Stud: Craig Monroe
The man who’s middle name is one of my favorite drinks though he may be named after the state that brought you this man and this man was able to hit a grand slam to help Detroit show life against the world champs who had been previously dominating them, making it look like this is going to be a great playoff race in the American League.

Dud: Shea Hillenbrand
Cut from the Blue Jays despite hitting over .300 on the season. His major beef with the organization, they didn’t say congratulations about adopting a child. It’s understandable that this is a big deal to him, but I’d take a snubbing for this kind of a paycheck . I think the Blue Jays should be focusing some of their anger towards A.J. Burnett, who is being paid $$$, and along with this guy, is the half the reason medicine is so expensive in the country and its so hard to get a doctor’s appointment.


Talk Around The Cooler:
Sammy Sosa is thinking about returning to play baseball . The only way this would be worthwhile for a major league team is if they signed Sammy and the juice that helped turn this guy into this guy.

Zinedine Zidane gets a slap on the wrist from FIFA while Materazzi gets another headbutt to the wallet. Materazzi plans on paying the fine and getting right back to practice

Quick Hits:
The British Open tees off today (in progress) and though this joke is often used, I love it - so hopefully the heat will help him and him sweat off some of their manboobs.
The Sonics could be moving from Seattle to Oklahoma. Outside of those two areas, who really cares? The people just want them to bring back the glory days of Sleepy Sam and this mega-bust who is currently challenging the one of the greatest free throw shooters of all time for fathering the most illegitimate children. Thank you, that’s all.
