The Morning Shotgun/Throwdown (3/11/08)

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Tuesday edition of the Morning Shotgun/Throwdon presented by Kurt’s Dugout. I am presently setting up my early exit from work tomorrow by coughing loudly and complaining of a sore throat.

If that doesn’t work, I will just tell them I’m having another baby. At this point my place of employment has me down for 6.5 kids from 7 different women. Everyone knows you can’t get a girl preggers when she is on top, it is just gravity, so I’m fighting custody on one of those little devils. I also don’t think it counts if the girl was asleep at the time of conception, but the court didn’t buy that argument.

On to the Throwdown…

What you (may have) missed:

• San Diego just fucked up someone’s world: The Torero’s just popped somebody’s cherry. Remember when you were younger, and your older brother popped your bubble-gum bubble and it got in your hair and your mom had to shave your head and to your dismay your head was shaped like an alien? Nobody? Well, that is what Kentucky feels like right now.
• Louisville women have avian flu: That is the only way I can explain this loss. The Mountaineer women just did not want to get up in the face of Louisville shooters, and it cost them the game.
• Does the slipper fit?: They may play in the Southern Conference but this is a good basketball team with a solid point guard and the nation’s best scorer. This team almost beat both Duke and UNC early in the season, so watch out.

What To Watch:

• Cleveland St. + 10 v. Butler: Another big game conference tournament game for teams sitting on the bubble.
• Back problems are no fun: The Red Sox and my fantasy team better pray Beckett isn’t seriously injured.
