It seems odd doesn’t it that despite all of the cool sports events that happen each year, the one that we have the most fun with at Desipio is the NBA Draft? But that’s the reality of the situation, and tonight is the big draft. We’ll be here at 6 p.m. tonight. So set your TV to ESPN, and your computer to Desipio and really…could it ever get better than that?
ESPN’s cast includes host Mike Tirico (solid), analysts Tom Tolbert (bald and funny), Greg Anthony (bald and so much better than Tim Hardaway it’s obscene), Jay Bilas (balding, informed and way too educated), Dick Vitale (bald, one-eyed and will spend the whole night harping on how college kids should be drafted higher than the European guys), DJ Stu Scott (just annoying), Michelle Tafoya (smart, cute and handling the Craig Sager interviews), David Aldridge (stuck in the Chris Mortensen kiddy table set), Jim Gray (nooooo!, live from Cleveland–we have GOT to get him to interview LeBron’s mom) and Andy Katz (with his bad perm). The only guy missing is Chad Ford, which is good because his mere presence on the TV makes me queasy.
Desipio’s cast includes yours truly. I was thinking back to why we didn’t do the draft live in 2000, and I remembered that I had traffic school that night. You can tell we’re a top-flight organization, can’t you?
Joining me, of course, will be Jake Potter (who due to a potential schedueling conflict with the first part of the draft, may be your host when this whole thing kicks off), Kelly Dwyer (who claims to have a seven footer on his couch—I think he meant sub sandwich, but I’m not sure) and Karry Ling. Karry, in fact, was supposed to handle the Dose today (this will be a do-it-yourself-one—sorry), but he’s locked himself in the background with the Street-n-Smith’s NCAA preview issue and God knows what else.
Join us tonight…you won’t want to miss it.
OK, sorry about this, but a very quick Dose is up today.
The Cubs blew a 5-1 lead and lost 12-6. Brooks Kieschnick? Guh.
The Sox blew a 5-1 lead and lost 6-5. Billy Koch? Ewww.
The Bulls don’t look like they’ll trade and it looks like we’ll need to learn to spell Dwyane.
You can hit the usual suspects yourself:
See you tonight!
please join me in celebrating the greatest day ever. Royals, Cubs, Braves…ALL IN FIRST PLACE!!!
Even a trash can gets a steak now and then.

hookers!!!
You know, I’m lucky to be employed. That was a stroke of genius of mine to pull Mark Prior just as he struck out 6 straight Brewers.
Besides, there’s nothing like burning out a bullpen by trotting Joe Borowski and everyone else out like it’s going out of style.
I’m a f&!@#ing genius, just like Jerry Manuel and Tony LaRussa.
Whaddya want me to throw – 150 pitches a game? Gimme a break. My pitch count was 127 already.
Get over it, Prior. Grow a sack! You had a game you will only have a few times in a career. Don’t you at least want to get the win?
And how about the 10,542 times Borowski has been up in the bullpen the last week or so? I know your buddies Matt Clement and Shawn Estes haven’t helped any!
Dusty’s mistake was in acting like Jim Rigglebaylor yesterday in getting cute, overmanaging, and pulling Estes. In doing so, he unneccesarily blew out the bullpen and Borowski pitched 1 1/3 innings.
All year, Dusty’s been a breath of fresh air in NOT overmanaging, letting his pitchers be men and let them stay in the game late. Had he let Estes go one more inning, they may have won with minimal bullpen help, without Borowski, and JoBo would have been fresh today. Today, Borowski didn’t have a THING. Dusty, Dusty, Dusty, please no more Down Syndrome moments, we can’t take retards running this team into the ground. Remember nose-picker Baylor pulling Bere in San Diego in 2001 after 7 innings, one or two hits and, like, 50 pitches thrown? Or something like that? That game started the Cubs fall, and that’s what yesterday reminded me of. If Dusty’s system doesn’t go into some sort of shock, compelling him to overmanage, the Cubs very well mat have swept. Instead, he’s given his little blue team a two game losing streak, and a 2-4 homestead.
You know, Baylor… I mean Baker is really onto something here.
I think we should keep this in mind. We’re up by a field goal in this coming MNF against the Pack, I think we’ll pull Urlacher and Mike Brown and Warrick Holdman and RW McQuarters, and let Mike Caldwell, Bobbie Howard, Julius Curry and Jason Goss win it for us.
Thanks, Dusty! We have a new way to lose to our Wisconsin rival now!
