We're back at "The Cell" this afternoon and I have a Public Service Announcement:
This is addressed to all those people out there that will be singing The National Anthem before a sporting event:
THIS IS NOT A FRIGGIN' AUDITION FOR AMERICAN IDOL!!! SING THE DAMN SONG!!!!!!
The anthem has a certain "pace" to it. Though difficult to sing, it does NOT need further embellishment. Sing it straight" and in the correct tempo!!!! The fans would be appreciative and I believe it shows more respect to the The Anthem, Flag, and Country.
Thank you.
We now return to the regular sports drivel...
A
much better game today. Oakland started rookie sensation
Rich Harden. We saw him
last month as the starter for the World team at the
2003 Futures Game during All-Star Week. We started
Esteban Loaiza, who lasted 8 innings giving up only 1 run and 4 hits striking-out 6. Harden only lasted 4 innings giving up 2 runs and 6 hits striking out 8. We had 4½ inning of scoreless baseball and it was a real pitcher's duel. It was great and it was fun.
Konerko &
Everett had homers in the game.
Unfortunately, KC won so we're still ½ game behind them in second place.

OK, there's an article in today's Chicago Tribune by Jon Kass about. Chihuahuas. In LA. Wild, feral, but demonically aggressive and deformed chihuahuas.
A pack of them, that once numbered 269 dogs (They're down to 175). A reporter in Pasadena that's from Australia said the chihuahuas would probably kill large dingos. Dingos.
And Kimi Peck wants to save them. That's Peck, as in daughter-in-law of Gregory Peck.
Weird.
