I'm Being Outrageous

At one time I was the guru of blogging on this website. I was number one. My blogs per month were waxing the competition. I brought you "Two Minutes of Fun," "The Grind," and the famous but quickly dying "Questions and Answers with Timo."

Now I'm getting my ass handed to me on a platter.

Mark makes me look foolish with the video.
JBar is killing it with the football updates.
And Jamie Hall is being Tom Brady on a website: just making it happen.

I'm the lost kid with no frame of reference who wanders into the movie theater and ask what's going on. Soon you'll be telling me to shut up.

I'm stumped right now. I've got no guys to interview. Jason's handling the football scene. All I care about is hockey and every time I talk about that, my blogspace gets less and less popular.

So I'm going out on the limb here. I'm playing Hasselbeck at the end of regulation. I'm making bold predictions.

ON THE LOCAL SCENE:
*Your worst nightmare is coming true. You know as well as I do that AROD would look terrible in Cardinal red. He just would. But you also know as well I do that it's happening.

AROD wants to play with the other best player in the game. And David Eckstein, in all likelihood, could be gone. So he'd be back to his old homestead at short. He'd fit like a glove in that lineup. And there's new management looking to make a strong first impression on Cardinal faithful. And Tony doesn't really want to rebuild. And you're starting to believe, aren't you?

You won't be laughing when he yanks 81 long balls and rakes 197 rbi next year in red.

*The Rams will no doubt go winless. I hate to say it, but I don't see much hope. As per the usual, Bulger is banged up. The O-Line is non-existent, thereby voiding both the passing game and the rushing game. And the defense isn't really scaring anybody. The second best running back in the league doesn't even look good right now.

It's just that...it seems so emotionless, doesn't it? Does anyone get the feeling that the Rams just don't feel like playing football this year? They're simply not enthused. They're nothing special on turf. They're nowhere close to a playoff football team. And Scott Linehan, after only a season and a half, is out the door. The formula isn't right at The Ed right now, and it's a hapless season.

*My Tigers play My Buffs tomorrow in Boulder. It's a fire fight and when the smoke clears the his six shooter is already back in Daniel's holster. Pig being out is important, but it doesn't make THAT big of a difference. Tigers by 27.

ON THE NATIONAL SCENE:
*Patriots over Colts. That's easy. Golden Boy Tom Brady to Reborn-football player Randy Moss twice in the fourth. And the blood will stay on the sword through the playoffs as well.

As the Rams go winless, New England goes undefeated. Brady gets even more girlfriends. And comes back even better next year.

*Johan Santana is getting dished. He'll be in Blue next season. Can't decipher whether it's L.A. blue or New York blue. Mets not Yankees. At least the Mets realize they need pitching to win. I'm starting to wonder if the BOSS is completely oblivious to that.

"Darnit. It's just that....you know...geez...I just really didn't wanna lose."

I'm out. Back in the SEMO next week. Faurot Field for a Tiger Trouncing on Saturday. See ya there.
