Checking in From Berlin

06Jun09

Just wanted to get in a couple thoughts while I’ve got a few minutes left of free internet. First of all, in Germany, the letters on the keyboard are exactly the same, except the z and the y are switched. That’s more annoying than having the dentist floss you! (for all the Reilly lovers) Thought Pat did a great job with the Reilly FJM treatment, though he also could have mentioned that not only was it a preposterously shitty article, but it was recycled. He basically wrote the exact same column for SI, as covered by Deadspin. So the guy’s essentially just a hack and I haven’t bothered to read his articles in some time, I don’t even think I’d classify him as a sports fan at this point.

Also loved the Francesa vid, classic Mike. I do wish I could hear his reaction to Pat’s point about Hughes being a starter and Joba not being one. I think our thoughts on Joba as a starter are pretty overdone at this point, but for the last time, he’s clearly more valuable when the team gets the most innings out of him.

As for the finals, I could not have been more wrong about the Magic. I thought they’d lose to the undermanned Celtics then I thought they’d get totallz smoked by the Cavs, but apparently they’re much better than I thought. Admittedly, I’ve barely seen any of the games, but I’d have to believe that the Lakers can get it done with home court and I’d pick them in six, which is worth less than a crocodile’s tooth.

And the 24 season finale was laughable.
