welcome to the silly season

July 1st means so many things... happy birthday to Canada, and to most sports fans, welcome to the silly season. where athletes will become overpaid snobs, where Manchester United will be linked with every good player on the planet, where the New York Rangers will spend too much money on someone too old, and where the Sacramento Kings will never get anyone they really wanted.

i certainly wasn't expecting the New York Yankees to do much last night. i figured getting in at 6 AM, they would still be asleep for the game. thankfully, i was wrong. the Yankees fell behind early but woke up in time to score a ton of runs, enough that the Astros brought in an outfielder to pitch the 9th. the Yankees won 13-4 last night. after the game, i heard the news that the team was calling up Clint Frazier. this was the prospect they got in the Andrew Miller trade last season. i will be VERY interested to see him play.

NJPW was excellent last night. i could definitely see why Kenny Omega vs. Okada II broke the internet a couple weeks ago. i can't wait for the LIVE NJPW event tonight on AXS TV. hopefully it will be amazing and finally give the WWE some competition in this country.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious as always last night. sadly, the show is taking July off.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and ROH.

we had 1.3 inches of rain last night. thankfully, i had enough rum that i managed to get a few hours of sleep.

USA men's national team will play a warm up against Ghana today. that should be a good game to get them ready for the Gold Cup.

some of the NBA contracts last night were incredibly ridiculous. and i couldn't fucking believe Indiana traded Paul George for just 2 players and nothing else. that's someone who is trying to get fired there.

i guess the New York Rangers will have a new backup goalie soon after noon. i suppose Ondrej Pavelec will be able to backup The King. i'm also expecting them to sign a couple forwards and probably an overpriced defenseman today.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
