Sunday, May 18, 2008 - George Bush likes the Doc.

-Death Cab for Cutie's new album Narrow Stairs is real solid - as expected.
-President George Bush was asked who his first pitcher would be, if he was an MLB general manager (and everyone was a free-agent), his answer? Roy Halladay.
-The Jamal Crawford to Toronto for T.J Ford rumours? Can't say I'm in love with Crawford's game, but the guy gets a tonne of slack for playing on two the worst teams in his short career.
-I was surprised to see the Dallas Stars go down 0-3 against the Red Wings, thought they were better than that. They will now try to pull off an '04 Red Sox comeback on Detroit. The series is currently 3-2. Marty Turco will need to step up if they're serious about the miracle on ice.
-Hard to imagine that Matt Stairs may have been in the NHL instead of hitting homers for the Jays - had different circumstances occurred.
-The Price is Right's Drew Carey is just a terrible game show host, in my golden opinion. Was a huge fan of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and The Drew Carey Show, but the guy just makes for a bad host. Ditto Craig Ferguson, who coincidentally was a regular on the latter show.
-All seems to be well in the Mets locker room after Billy Wagner apologized to Carlos Delgado, and their organized team meeting. Airing dirty laundry in public is never a good approach in any sport. And you'd think the Mets would know that by now - especially in the media frenzied Big Apple.
-Raptors forward Jamario Moon made the NBA's All Rookie Second team. Talk about a weak draft class. The only potential all-stars are Kevin Durant, Al Horford and possibly Greg Oden. The rest will become role-players, albeit good ones - but nothing more, in the years to come.
-During his interview, Ben Stein stated that George Stroumboulopoulos of The Hour reminded him a great, great deal of his good friend, Jimmy Kimmel.
-Blue Jays catcher Rod Barajas had 2 HR's and 5 RBI's against his former team the Phillies.
-.186, Ryan Howard. Hard to believe, huh?
-According to an MSNBC.com survey, the most commonly used password by people is the word, "password". Remember guys, stupid is, as stupid does.
-I'll be back in a month, take care everyone.

Slight correction: Drew Carey was the host of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", U.S. version.
