The Daily Grind

I'll try to do this at least five days a week... Let's see how it goes:

Miscellaneous Video of the day:

Levar Burton and Reading Rainbow explore Hip Hop dancing. A favorite part: Levar telling all the young aspiring hip-hoppers" "The next time that beat gets you up on your feet, don't just stand there. Dance." I think Ronnie Reagan had more street cred than La Forge over there.

Old School Rap Video of the day:

1999. I know, it is not that old. But, in light of the new Lil' Wayne record, it was worth a trip down memory lane. The Hot Boyz at their finest. Also, I am interested to see what Pratt's response is to this bit. Tom Petty video of the day?

Stat of the day:
From the Boston Globe: Red Sox SS Julio Lugo recorded his 14th RBI last night, he now has one more RBI than he has errors (13).

A couple quick notes:
-It's 10:24pm, MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann has to have been on for 4-5 hours, and he is still completely distraught and holding back tears on camera. It's really a somber moment of television.
-Joba's start tonight provided an interesting line. 6 IP, 2Ks, 4 BBs, 88 pitches. As a reliever, Joba threw 23.2 innings with 30 Ks. As a starter before tonight Joba has 6.2 IP, 8Ks, 5BBs. So, in Joba's transformation to starter, he needs to work on lowering the walks. But this start Joba seems focused on working in the curveball to induce more flyouts, and just generally be more economical with his pitches. Gotta be encouraged if you are a Yankees fan.
-I meant to mention this in my more formal post. I saw a poll on ESPNews. The question was (and I am paraphrasing): Which league do you believe to have the most integrity in light of recent scandals? The NFL (Spygate), MLB (Mitchell Report) or the NBA (Donaghy)? The results were from most integrity to least: NFL, MLB, NBA. A couple issues here: First, the most pressing scandal/issue in the NFL is Spygate, a ten-month old story? Really? Not the steroids dealer being found dead? Or even the NFLPA/NFL owners mess to come in 2010? The NFL free pass continues.

If anyone knows how I can embed the videos into this blog, let me know.
