This is why you don't drink Pepsi at 1am
Because you'll still be awake at 5...its good that the only thing on my schedule for tomorrow is a baseball draft at night.....i should be sorted out by then. I hope. Speaking of drafts, Travis Hafner is currently only eligble at the util spot in yahoo pools, I don't know how many games he played at first last year, but its gotta be at least as many as David Ortiz did (who has 1B eligibility). The only free tip I'm giving up right now is that if Hafner is still available in the 6-7th round I'm probably going to have to snag him up, so Steve, Tom, Maine and Wu use that information accordingly.
A-Rod: 1st overall
Okay thats all I'm going to make you read about baseball pools....for the rest of this post at least. I was gonna just throw a random 5 songs up in here too since we haven't seen one of those in a while, but that just doesn't kill enough time for me. So not only are you going to be treated to a random 5, but for no additional charge I'm throwing in my review of the songs.
Soriano: 3rd round
Damn (remix) - Ludacris, Bone Crusher and Youngbloodz
Well for starters its got Ludacris in it so you know I'm a fan, and of course his verse is far and away the best part of this song. Honestly though the rest of the song is pretty forgetable, its got Lil Jon yelling in the background too, and you know how much the kids love their Lil Jon these days. What? Yeah, h-okay! Like you didn't think that was gonna be there. I give it 3.5 stars.
Ichiro: 4th round
Intergalactic - Beastie Boys
Is there better smack talk then "I'll stir fry you in my wok"? Yeah probably, but right now its pretty amusing to me. I liked this video cause it had the breakdancing godzilla robot thingy. Wow this song came out 8 years ago...thats like old school joint of the day territory. 4 Stars.
Overbay: last round
Mercury Blues - Alan Jackson
This song fucking rocks. Its all about the power a Mercury has over your life and how much you need one. In classic country song style, the ownership of a Mercury leads to wife swapping...or at least thats how I hear the song. Seriously if you've never heard this song before, go listen to it, you'll be happy or my name isn't Leroy J. McGillicuddy. A solid 4.5 Stars.
Pedro: goin early
300 Bars and Runnin' - Game
Aight, you know all about rappers and their beefs right? They even made some movies about it, what were they called again? Oh yeah, BEEF. So anyway this song is pretty much Game ripping apart a number of other rappers (mainly G-Unit). Its about 15 minutes long and so it cycles through a few different beats. From Kanye's Diamonds from Sierra Leone to Lloyd Banks' I'm So Fly and even some of the theatrical score from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (which I actually just watched tonight), and its got a few really good lines in it. But man, 15 minutes?! thats forever (foreva ever?) 3.5 Stars.
Schilling: 16th round
Triumph - Wu-Tang Clan
This is definitly one of my all-time favorite songs. Its got a great beat and great verses from all the Clan members. 'The Iron Lung ain't got to tell you where its commin from' you should listen to this right now, its that good. I should really make a list of my favorite songs, that'd be a good reading week procrastination effort. 5 stars, easy.
Wood: not drafting
