Kirby Found Not Guilty

O.J. Simpson, Ray Lewis and Kirby Puckett? So maybe those three aren't quite in the same boat, but all three have now been found not guilty in their very public days in court. Puckett was accused of dragging a 34-year old woman into a Redstone bathroom and grabbing her breast, but was found not guilty by a jury of his peers this afternoon. Puckett also recently went through a messy divorce that included allegations of abuse in what has become a public relations nightmare for the former baseball legend.

Broom Time Already?

The Minnesota Twins completed a three game sweep over the Detriot Tigers this afternoon behind yet another strong starting pitching performance. This time it was Kyle Lohse who threw only 92 pitches in eight innings of work while allowing no runs and only two hits. The Twins have to be happy with their 3-0 start considering that the bats still have some rust on them. Torii Hunter and Doug Mientkiewicz hit an identical .167 (2-12) in the series. Corey Koskie appears to be just fine (.571, 4-7) after sitting out the season opener. One key to the Twins possible postseason success this year could be putting less stress on their bullpen during the regular season. Last year the bullpen appeared to be wearing down as the playoffs approached as pitchers like Eddie Guardado, J.C. Romero, Mike Jackson and LaTroy Hawkins didn't appear quite as sharp as they had during the regular season.

Get Over Yourself MTV!

I recently found out that MTV completely edited the last episode of Real World and Road Rules Battle Of The Sexes. This week's challenge was a game of laser tag between the men and women's team's. Due to the war overseas, MTV decided that it didn't want to show any footage of players shooting each other with the laser guns. Give me a break! It's laser tag! If MTV is so worried about people's mental health, they should stop showing so many skinny anorexic girls with fake boobs on its Spring Break shows.

You Know What I Hate?

People who insist on putting "I'm a proud parent of an honor roll student" on the bumpers of their cars. I was an honor roll student too along with half my graduating class, I didn't feel the need to plaster it all over the side of my parents car.
