Larry

1) Mike Brown is in over his head. Look, he seems to be a nice enough guy...good face of the organization, 100 wins in two years, and a trip to the finals this year. But as an NBA coach, you have to choose winning over loyalty...you HAVE to. His decision to keep Boobie Gibson on the bench in favor of gimpy Larry Hughes in indefensible (even though you gotta hand it to Larry playing in as much pain as he's in).

2) Its become increasingly clear that this guy doesn't give a shit anymore. Chipper can't come back fast enough. Meanwhile I'm watching as the Braves steal one at home to earn a badly needed split from the all-of-a-sudden not-so-hapless Cubs (by the way, mark my words: the Cubs are going to run away with that division- its almost mathematically impossible for them to continue playing so badly in 1-run games), Jarrod Saltalamacchia (3-4, 2 RBI) is going to be a tremendous player for a long, long time.

3) Anyone remember the buzz surrounding Fox's "new comedy" The Loop? Set in, and partially filmed in Chicago, its already been axed, and Fox is burning off the last 8 episodes. After catching two of 'em tonight...I have to say, it was a good decision. Bleh...

Hometown girl from Erie PA trying to make it in LA as a standup. She's pretty funny, this clip, while not exactly gut busting hilarious, gives you an idea of what her act is like. She's a pretty cool chick...the more clicks, the better.
