Short items this a.m.:
- A better blogger would have PVRed The Daily Show's hilarious take last night on Deadspin legend Carl Monday (right), Cleveland's investigative reporter, then posted it on YouTube for all to see. Best this mediocre wannabe can manage: here's the TV news story that started it all and the second part of the story that TDS correspondent Jason Jones had so much fun spoofing last night. Trust me, Deadspin will have the clip posted by 9 a.m. Eastern. 9:30, tops.
- What are the New York Mets going to do without Pedro Martinez in the playoffs? They didn't have a playoff rotation before he was ruled done for the season. Anyone want to take bets that epic San Diego-L.A. game last week was a preview for their looming showdown in the National League Championship Series? The Mets and whoever wins the NL Central may not put up much of a fight.
- At this rate, there may be no need for the St. Louis Cardinals to play that makeup game against San Francisco on Monday -- the Astros may have eliminated them by then. Houston has cut St. Louis' lead in the NL Central to a half-game. Houston, winners of nine in row, play the also-ran Atlanta Braves this weekend. (How weird was it to type also-ran and Atlanta together?)
- Does being the AL Central champion matter more to the Detroit Tigers or Minnesota Twins? On the one hand, Detroit probably would like to avoid being the wild card and facing the Yankees in the Division Series. On the other, Minnesota is a major league-best 53-25 at home, so they would welcome having the home-field advantage against Oakland in the first round.
- NFL picks and of course, CIS football picks.
- OK, so Terrell Owens had an accidental overdose. Doesn't mean that he isn't T-Emo and he doesn't reflectly the sorry state of (North) American manhood. (Present company excepted, of course.)
That's all for now. Send your thoughts to neatesager@yahoo.ca.
