This Week's Hacks
- The Dbacks are 5 and 5 after today, splitting a split squad (as opposed to split price) doubleheader. Thank you, Jesus.
- In other team news, alumnus Matt Williams did not, repeat DID NOT wiretap his former (and at the time, separated) wife's phone. Just so we're clear. The guy is a Gamer.
- Some Arizona high school games may be truncated by a proposed one hour and forty five minute time limit. Fortunately, administrators behind the idea already have a time limit. Elections.
- The Phoenix Suns talk some more about playing defense, but it'll never happen. Not enough to counterbalance the easy fast break buckets that flew out the door with Shawn Marion - who Jeff van Gundy calls the NBA's most versatile defender. Not as long as both remaining stars make comfortable livings expending 80% of their energy scoring the ball. Not as long as Mike D'Antoni is the coach.
- In Arizona news, we have a winner in the most recent www.congress.org "power rankings", where Flagstaff embezzler Rick Renzi ranked dead last - out of four hundred and thirty five members. Impressive competition, to be sure, so that's quite a coup there, Rick! Renzi's greatest crime, conceivably, is fathering a dozen children, all of whose names begin with "R". Rico, anyone?
Have a lovely weekend, wherever you are.
Nothing says a marriage is over quite like an illegal wiretap.

lol. Or, "Honey, would you mind telling Congress that your B00Bs are courtesy of my HGH?"

At least his kids are all with the same woman. He is a Republican, remember. http://paullebowitz.mlblogs.com/

By the way, I thought I would've gotten some props for managing to work the name Hosken Powell into one of my blogs without overt pretense.

"He is a Republican, remember."
Indeed. Renzi's idea of birth "control" is probably Lamaze.
I DID notice Hosken Powell, btw, but for someone with 1800 career ABs, I have no recollection of him whatever.
Speaking of Powell, we all should have a contest requiring the insertion of an agreed upon player, word or phrase into our respective blogs each week. Like this week, it could be Dave Chalk, or "airiness" or "two peas in a pod".
Anybody in?

Hosken Powell stands out in my mind because every time I bought a pack of baseball cards, I would rapidly rifle through to see if there was a Reggie Jackson therein and would instead find...Hosken Powell. In every pack, you'd invariably find Powell, Ross Baumgarten or Skip Lockwood.
