What's a Beer Sandwich?

For those of us who don't watch Scrubs, can someone please explain what the hell a beer sandwich is?

Now to the important stuff. I'm not gonna get into whether or not Dirk deserved to win the MVP this year. I personally don't think he did but it looks like there are a lot of people out there who believe that he was worthy. Kobe is clearly the most valuable player in the league, without him the Lakers don't make the playoffs. However, the question is how is Steve Nash, a unanamious first-team All NBA selection, not your MVP. I'm not saying he deserved it, but he was the only player that every single media member voted on the first team. I'm not totally clear on how the process works, but common sense dictates that Nash should be the MVP again. He got the most votes for the All-NBA team, quid pro quo he's the top player in the game today in the eyes of the media. I don't get understand it.

I'm not completely against the Clemens signing, but I think it sets an awful precedent. A-Rod will likely ask for the world now that Clemens almost got it. Let's say Clemens stays healthy and makes about 20 starts and throws around 100-110 pitches on average. It works out to about $7,000 a pitch, so the guy gets $28,000 to walk somebody. The only way this move is worth it is if they win the whole thing. Do I think it's possible with the team they have now? Yes, as long as the pitching staff holds up. I think Mussina, Pettitte, Clemens, and Wang match up with any staff in baseball. I'm very worried about the bullpen. If there are any closers available at the trade deadline like Chad Cordero, I make the move. It strengthens the bullpen this year and also is insurance for Mo possibly leaving after the year is out.


I'm on the Blake bandwagon in Idol. He's got every little 12 year old girls vote in America as well as this entire blog. He's different than anyone in the past, something that can't be said about Jordin and Melinda.

The Office last night was hysterical. Easily the best of the season, do yourself a favor and watch it.

3 things:

1) I think a beer sandwich is pretty much self explanatory.

2) Speak for yourself when it comes to Idol, Blake is a tool.

3) When someone offers you a fantasy trade, either accept, decline, or counter it, don't ignore it for a week and a half.

Everyone is right!

As usual, smurph was right - Blake is the only exciting contestant left. The other two have outstanding voices but are very predictable and quite frankly a bit laaaaame.

And the nice guy was also right. He does need to dye the hair back to blond. Yikes.

For once, relaxo was right - ya gotta step up to the plate on the trade. Ignoring as opposed to some kind of definitive action is horse shit. And this is coming from a league motherfucking champion.

Guys can put up monster numbers on bad teams make their "All Whatever" Team but not have a shot for the MVP. Garnett made second team but would not be considered for MVP.

Arod did get his MVp with the Rangers, but let's pretend for a second he didn't. He would still have made the All Baseball Team for his position.

is this a sports blog or a blog about some show that targets 12 year olds and stay at home mom's? I mean seriously, you guys are a joke. American Idol? What a fucking embarrassment.

Here's an idea: Why dont you all get a pedicure, spend a day shopping at steve madden for some fabulous shoes, then (and he's where the fun really comes in) watch american idol while braiding each others hair (while clearly talking about what girls you like!)?

Doesnt this sound fabulous?

douche...
