Coke Sucks, Pepsi's Better

Just when you thought that we've seen it all on pay-per-view or the Spike Channel, this comes along. A Pepsi worker threw down and fisticuffs with a Coke employee while making a delivery to a local Walmart in Pittsburg. I for one, believe its been along time coming. Why spend millions of dollars in advertising your superiority over the competitor when we can watch them duke it out at Walmart. We all know Ali was better than Frasier and Nolan Ryan got the best of Robin Ventura, now at least we know Pepsi reigns supreme (or hires thugs instead of retired carnies)over Coke. Hell with the Bud Bowl!! Lets get it on!!!

Vick 'Em

I mean its kinda funny, but I dare anyone to wear this shirt in a metro or subway. Its as appropriate as a dude casually wearing biker shorts or an over-weight woman wearing a bikini. You kinda wanna think before actually going through with it. But apparently Texas A&M fans are outraged by these new shirts sported by Texas Tech. WOW, finally alittle bit of that Bobby Knight asshole ism is rubbing off. Only took what, 5 years?? WTG Rebels.

Im sure Longhorn fans will make this part of the mandatory dress code for all Aggie games for here on out. I just wish FSU thought of this for the Tech game in November. But then again, what the hell is a Hokie and do they have large tallons?

Side Note- I think Shane will cross the line and wear this. Just a hunch.

Playoff Predictions- NLCS and ALCS

What a, uhm, Not so exciting Round 1 of playoff baseball. 3 sweeps and a 4 game series. Not my idea of drama but hey, We weeded out the Yankees, Cubs, Angels, and Phillies, which equates to about 500 million dollars in payroll, leaving 3 teams with the top 10 lowest payrolls in baseball. These recent failures on high salary teams has changed my views on an MLB salary cap. There shouldnt be one!! I finally agree with Shane on this matter. Good scouting and good management are the key ingredient to a successful team. Money creates ego's hence, bad mojo. Maybe my Giants can follow this strategy for next year.

Oh, side note- Loving the fact that Georgie-Boy called out Torre, Not only did the Yankees lose, they lost their longest tenured manger ever under Steiny. WTG George.

But I digress, I was 2-2 in my round 1 predictions. My apologies go out to Arizona. Why oh Why would I ever doubt a team playing the Cubs. We all knew they would lose, I guess I was looking at the experience of the Cubs rather than the fun-loving, got nothing to lose, attitude the Dbacks had.

Rockies vs Diamondbacks- This is a tough one for me. I have followed the NL West like I follow the scent of a freshly backed apple pie. Both teams have such similarities in pitching. Both have that 1 really good ace, followed by some decent but not great starters. Both have a solid bullpen and very consistant closers. So that being said, this game will be decided by offense. Rockies have plenty of pop in their swings where the Dbacks have very little. The Dbacks have a knack for getting on base where the Rockies dont need to. They can hit for power from 2-7 in the batting order. Bob Melvin, being a SF Giant alum has some experience here from 1989, but as a catcher, not a manager. And of course we got swept in the WS. But he has some and that is more than I can say about Clint Hurdle. Like Dubya, im goin with my gut. Diamondbacks in 5

Redsox vs Indians- This is the marque matchup we have been waiting for. Both teams had identical records playing in VERY tough divisions, well, I guess any division with the Devil Rays and Orioles is not quite tough, but they had the Yankees. Nuff said. The Redsox have 2 factors going for them. Papi and Manny. Did anyone see them over the weekend?? They wrecking balls that desimated a good Angels pitching staff. Second, solid aces 1-3. They were good in the regular season and damn near phenominal over the Angels. The Indians have youth and some pop in thier bats, but C.C cant pitch every game and Borowski will not survive if the Indians manage a 1 run lead in the 9th. Redsox in 4
