"Baseball Exorcism" heads the weekend wrap-up.








  • World Series Snoozer- Down in Sarasota, Florida all is good at the moment. They have shuffleboard, horse racing, "early bird" specials at Denny's and Major League Baseball. Tropicana Field was built a long time ago and sat empty for years. Baseball fans may recall The Chicago White Sox was being lured down there before the new Comiskey, err... "U.S. Cellular Field" was built. Being an expansion team, "The Devil Rays" as they were originally called, have spent the last decade building a team. This year was said to be no different and not a soul could predict what would happen this weekend.as they were able to wiggle their way into the World Series. Maybe the real winner here is heaven above. Being smack dab in the middle of "the Bible belt", the team's name was a hot topic amongst the Senior Citizens and the "Devil" was eventually dropped from their logo. Tampa Bay has no right to make it to baseball's biggest event of the year. They got there as a fluke. When the first pitch is thrown on Wednesday night, watch as the Phillies help Tampa Bay realize that they shouldn't be involved. Personally, I hope it's quick because this hooey cannot interfere with House!
  • Mr. Blackwell. Dead. - I thought the guy died a few years ago but I guess I was wrong. He died yesterday. You know him from his famous list of fashion disasters in Hollywood where no matter how big of a star one may be, there's no avoiding what you wear. In an ironic twist, the man who put down what Jessica Alba and Madonna wore almost religiously in his famous annual list, is now resting peacefully in his casket to spend eternity in a suit which was taken "off the rack" at J.C. Penney's. It's called, "karma".
  • Ito and Orton: "You are NOT the father!". Sorry Maury Povich, no need for a DNA test here HOWEVER, the former Judge in the O.J. trial and Chicago Bears QB Kyle Orton look like they share similar bloodlines. Now that Orton has been chosen to be "The One" to keep Chicago tied with Greenbay in the NFC North, you gotta admit that as the weeks go by, Orton is looking more and more like a Chinaman. That's OK because Confucious say, "Bears will not be in any Super Bowl" ...Unless they paid for their tickets.
  • Madonna's Drama. - The poor old lady. First, she recently turned 50 and isn't taking it all too well. To make matters worse, her brother has become estranged for telling secrets and now? This divorce business to Guy Ritchie. If I were in his spot, this is the chance of a lifetime to take the silly religious nutso to the cleaners. Hey, no "pre-nup" was her fault. He said he was gonna make it big in Hollywood Directing films. Well, Martin Scorsace and Oliver Stone need not call him a "threat". OK, perhaps Ritchie's request for half of Madonna's fortune is a stretch...until you consider the pain and suffering he endured for a decade seeing Madonna "stretch" in her spandex with her personal trainer that lives in their house. Ewww! GOD AWFUL!
