Say It Ain't So, Joe
Torre's running screaming away from the torrent of hokum that will soon envelop the Dodgers organization. Dandy Don will finally get his shot at the helm in 2011.
The Clippers downed Durham 13-2 tonight, clinching the Governor's Cup championship. Wowee! Jason Kipnis goes deep. Look out Cleveland, some kids real familiar with winning are on the way.
Holy Choo, Batman! 3 dongs and 7 ribs for Shin-Soo! Nice win #1 for Carlos Carrasco.
Indians claim OF Chad Huffman from the Bombers. YAY!

Rant 1 - JS is the New JC
If you don"t want to glimpse the bleakness of my psychosis, turn away now.
The statement is seemingly irrelevant as no one reads this anyway. It seems a fitting microcosm of manifest affect. What I type here will not change the world, will not lead others to reconsider or take pause. These words fall on deaf ears, on blind eyes, just as the ghost steps I take around the littered streets are ignored. Each action goes unobserved.
Big pity party, right? Perhaps, it's all in the eye of the beholder, but the harvesting of sympathy is not my goal. The fact is that nothing has inherent meaning; only those concepts to which we ascribe importance live to carry weight across the tundra. For several years my belief was that this precept was part of the human condition, yet another burden to drag us down. Recently, I've come to a new conclusion: the human race has bottomed out. There are more of us than the planet can sustain and the population continues to expand. Without regard for the future and despite the chic nature of the "green revolution," we continue to disrespect and pollute the world around us, the only home we have.
Here, across the greatest country on the globe, within the most immaculate democracy history has ever witnessed, we have grown callous and lazy. There is no urgency today; we can do the same stupid shit until at least tomorrow. We're bourgeois, we'll inevitably and consistently choose the path of least resistance. The harsh truth is that we won't innovate until necessity births it screaming into our trembling hands. We have the luxury to get fat on McDonald's or devote the majority of our resources to fantasy football or search out and purchase the exact gear they rock on Jersey Shore. Why would we do these things? Why would we debase ourselves with these trivialities? Why? Because we can, asshole. Because we can. We have no reason not to. We have no calling. We have no cause. We have no unity amongst ourselves. We'll wallow in our regurgitated slop until Rome burns and the lights go out. And honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I cannot fault us. Our actions are meaningless because no one has use for meaning in the 21st century. Better to gorge on french fries and Vodka, to lust after Sammi, curse every 3rd word and shred our abs. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. It's the only way to fly. And I'll be on the next bar stool with a slick handshake and a high five.
More on the decline of western civilization next rant. Cheers.

Whistle Stops
Just 2 more things...
Kyle Drabek made his MLB debut tonight, taking the loss against the red hot Orioles. He showed up (6IP, 9H, 3ER, 3BB, 5K), but the Jays suffered a rare power outage, putting up just Jose Bautista's 47th longshot in the 3-1 defeat.
You know it's a lost season when you're worried about whether Jawad Williams is going to re-sign or not. Go Cavs!

Back to Reality
Jeanmar gives up 7 + offense gets 2 lousy hits = 7 run shutout loss. That's a better snapshot of the season. Don't worry Manny Acta is impressed with Travis Hafner and Drew Sutton's here to join the no-hit parade.
On a brighter note, the Clips got another sterling start from Zach McAllister (7IP, 5H, 6K) in a 4-0 win over Durham. They need one of three in NC to bring home the Championship.
And I warned you. Accompanying a story about Ray Lewis III (HS soph) putting up a monster game over the weekend is a middle school highlight reel. Check it out here. Or better yet... don't.
P.S. Jake Delhomme is nowhere near 100% right now & did not practice today. Thus, Seneca Wallace took all of the 1st team snaps and will likely see a large of amount playing time against the Chiefs. Oh yeah, KC coach Todd Haley confirmed that his team will be "paying attention" to Jerome Harrison. Cough... hack... 286... cough... ahem. Shocker.
