OK after two days of posting with the title of eGREGious Musings I realized I had tried to hard on the title. As was said in Angels In The Outfield (Which boy could LAA use a few more in the outfield these days) “Less Is More” so it will be the same wise ass takes but simply known now as GregsList:
Most Awkward Moment Goes To……
Did anyone else feel the tension when Ken Kendrick went to give Jerry Colangelo the have handshake half hug thing after the ceremonial first pitch? Classy move by the front office that ousted him to bring him back for a big moment but it sure did seem like Jerry wanted to go Tony Soprano (For the older audience insert Michael Corleone for Tony Soprano) on Kendrick. (Also isn't Jerry trying to buy the Cubs….hmmmmm)
Doing The Time Warp
Kurt Warner, Gus Ferrotte and Trent Dilfer all will see playing time in the NFC West this weekend. Wait what year is it? 1999?
Pass The Kool-Aid!
SI.com's power rankings have the Red Birds number 10 in their NFL power rankings.
I’m sure it was as odd for them to write it as it was for all of us to read it. Just be careful Cards this weekends game against the Rams could easily become a let down.
Quote of the day
Jesse Palmer, former Giants bench warmer and reality TV “start” (that is like calling him a former New York Giants star), gave us this great quote about how distracting NFL Cheerleaders can be:
In that game we started several drives inside our own 20-yard line, with each drive following a TV timeout. With my back to the end zone in the huddle, I became frustrated because I couldn’t make eye contact with any of my 10 teammates as I was trying to call our plays; they were all staring right at the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders who were performing in the end zone.
I remember our offensive linemen shaking their heads in utter amazement, but the classic line came from our tight end, Visanthe Shiancoe, who interrupted me in the middle of a play call and said, “Jesse you really need to turn around and see this…”
Amanda Beard Is Newest Go Daddy Girl
It was announced today that Amanda Beard is the newest Go Daddy girl and will wear the company’s logo on her swim cap.
I think this is a bad move by Go Daddy. The only reason people like those commercials is because they want to see the girls naked and newsflash Ms. Beard has already graced the pages of Playboy.
Video of the Day
I’m just impressed Byrnes’ hair stayed down that long. What the heck did he have to use to keep it down? Let’s hope it wasn’t a “Something About Marry” situation.
Paranoia Will Destroy Ya
Cubs fans must be a little unnerved after the D-backs game one win. Fans so desperate to get rid of their “curse” hung a dead goat carcas on a statue of Harry Carry outside of Wrigley Field.
This seems kind of dumb to me. If this curse started because they wouldn’t let a goat into the stadium, wow that sounds dumb when you say it (or type it) out loud, how would killing a goat reverse it. If anything you would think that would further anger the goat lover who cursed them in the first place.
Your NL Cy Young Winner
That is Padres ace Jake Peavy partying it up two days after loosing to the Rockies. Glad to see he is taking it really hard. Also who the hell is the guy next to him? Is that Bret Michaels? I thought he was busy with his show on VH1.
