Vlad the Impaler

While we gear up for the festivities tonight in San Francisco for the MLB All-Star game, I find last nights home run derby an excellent opportunity to post this picture I have been sitting on. While I wish I could say I took it at my house, it is from a yahoo search.

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Los Angeles Angels slugger Vladimir Guerrero, playing in his first Major League Baseball home run derby since 2000, beat Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Alex Rios 3-2 in the finals on Monday.

While I am presently on the road and buried in worky, I do hope to find time soon after the action tonight to post an update on the MLB season as it was predicted by yours truly prior to the seasons start. I don't count the Yanks out totally, but do concede they are in the wild card chase already. I feel good about picking the Brew Crew to do well. Look for more baseball and cheap booze in the not to distant future.

Pizza and an Alcoholic Beverage

We've reached the sahara of the WVU sports season. I guess we could do a draft analysis, but none of us have slick enough hair. And we could probably do an analysis of the upcoming Mayweather-De La Hoya fight, but they've already marketed that to saturation. We do promise, however, a post on the Blue-Gold game from the weekend before last. Its my fault its late. I suck.

To make it up to our millions of faithful readers, here's a sample of what it would be like if we were play-by-play guys (except for the fact that we would spend the entire game doing this).
