- ARE you excited to pick up a Rick Vaughn bobblehead tonight at the Jake? The Indians are celebrating the 20th anniversary of D-Mac's favoritest baseball movie ever, Major League, with Brewers announcer Bob Uecker in attendance (and the game is on ESPN).
- CAN Barry Zito continue the Giants hot streak at home against the Angels of Angelheim? Zito's got twelve career wins against Scioscia's boys with a tidy 3.55 ERA.
- SINCE those are the only two games on the schedule, will you take some time out of your busy night to listen to the Walkoff Walk Furious Five podcast, broadcasting live at 10PM EDT? Our guest tonight is Jonah Keri and we'll be talking about Ozzie Guillen's love for Wrigley Field and summer movies.
- IS THE FINEST ASPECT OF BOBBY VALENTINE MANAGING THE NATIONALS THE COMEDIC VALUE RECEIVED FROM HIS FAKE MOUSTACHES?
Kris is back tomorrow to regale us with tales from hipster music festivals and driving across the American South with 9 other people in a single R.V. Until then! We bid you! Adieu! Podcast tonight! Same WoW channel!
If Manny Acta gets canned, I'm hiring him to manage my fantasy baseball team.
Here's what I saw this weekend:

$ Not As Good As I Wanted It To Be
* Not Good
- No Opinion
! Bruce
Thursday Night:
Portugal The Man*
Chairlift*
Friday:
Dirty Projectors (David Byrne collab on last song)***
Animal Collective $
Yeah Yeah Yeahs***
King Sunny Ade**
Al Green**
David Byrne***
Beastie Boys-
Phish***

Didn't get to see Femi Kuti like I wanted because I couldn't leave Phish. Very surprising.
Saturday:
Robyn Hitchcock- (was cool seeing Minus 5 backing him though)
Allen Touissant***
Booker T & The DBTs**
Bon Iver**
Jenny Lewis (Elvis Costello collab on one song)***

Lots of good stuff.
I'd call best sets as Phish (Friday), Jenny Lewis, Okkervil River, Dirty Projectors and YYYs.
I only guessed two right in my Friday contest entry. I guess Kris and I don't spend enough time together.
Triumph performed?
So AnCo was disappointing? That's disappointing
Yay, I guessed quite a few! Quick pick some lottery numbers!
I think the site Rob was talking about on the Podcast is called Why the Fuck Do You Have a Kid?
Dave, that site made me feel good about my parenting skills.
