It’s been one hell of a week with quite a few ups and downs. As a result this post will take you on a wild emotional roller coaster so brace yourselves for an epic.
The story began at the end of my last post when Larry began to feel the hint of disease attacking his body. Larry has claimed to never be sick and it was evident he didn’t really know how to deal with it. I walked into our apartment to find Jess (our wonderful guest for the week) watching TV with Larry nowhere in sight. When I asked where Larry was, she pointed to the futon. Under a blanket and wearing 3 sweatshirts Larry told me he was trying to sweat his disease out. He then requested I cover him in all the blankets and leave him alone for 30 minutes. When I offered him an alternative method in the form of a cough drop, he told me that the pharmaceutical companies were trying to poison him. Needless to say, his sore throat rapidly progressed into a cough and he succumbed to modern medicine.
On Friday, I headed to Atlanta for a job interview with Q100. My love (obsession) with Rihanna almost cost me big time. As I was rocking out to “Disturbia” my exit flew by in my complete and utter oblivion. I was in the zone. It wasn’t until 5 exits later that I realized Rihanna had betrayed me. It was a pretty low moment in our relationship but I anticipated such an event when I put her on the playlist and left 15 minutes early. Luckily, I did manage to get the job and I’m pretty excited about the adventures I’ll be getting into this summer.
This is where the sports segment of the blog comes into play and also where my weekend went downhill. I missed five games on Beat the Streak bringing my winning percentage below .600 for the first time in my career. I considered taking a week off and suspending myself from my radio show. Luckily, Kobe Bryant pulled me out of my slump by out-scoring LeBron despite throwing up at halftime and playing with a dislocated finger (are you kidding me? Best player in the league. To quote Hans (who may have been quoting someone else idk) “If you don’t know, now you know.”).
Also, Alex Rodriuguez tested positive for ‘roids back in 2003. I’ve been an A-rod hater for awhile now due to his can’thitintheclutchitus but this is ridiculous. I couldn’t go to ESPN.com for two straight days because his mug was the cover story. In fact, I couldn’t really go anywhere without getting angry. I guess I feel betrayed because I thought he would clean up the home run record. But it’s gotten to the point where anyone consistently hitting 50 homeruns in a season or playing well over the age of 37 was or is on something. The only player I would be shocked if tested positive would be Derek Jeter. In fact, if Jeter tested positive I would stop watching baseball. It’s getting stupid.
Speaking of stupid and steriods, Andruw Jones just signed a contract with the Texas Rangers. How the hell does that guy have a job in baseball? After hitting an astounding .158 for the Dodgers last season, Jones was cut by the Dodgers. Yet he’s still going to make 500k next season. Lucky for him, the Dodgers still owe him 22.1 million.
This week I’m working on getting Billy Donovan to call in the show but the prospects are looking dim. I’m learning that many SIDs are allergic to email which is a major obstacle. I probably won’t have time to update this week as I have an inordinate about of tests. But don’t worry, I will Ball Hard.
