Random Rantings

Just some random rantings from an average Sunday:

• Before the Brewers game was on I was flipping through the channels and obviously nothing was on. I stopped at Batman Forever (the Val Kilmer one) for a quick minute since it was the best thing on. My god, is that movie horrible. Horrible villains, usually good actors (Tommy Lee Jones) acting horribly, a stupid Robin character, horrible look action sequences. Horrible. I hope Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale make Batman movies for the next 20 years, otherwise I fear they will once again turn into this crap. It also makes me wonder who will be the new villain in the next movie. Riddler? Penguin? Someone new?
• Manny Parra can really pitch. That curve ball is un-hittable at times. Rookie of the Year?
• The pre- and post-game of the Brewers features Jeff Cirrilo, except that they all call him Rillo. Stop that. That is the worst nickname I have every heard, it sounds forced. He also has a piece that they call Rillo's Rant in which he gives the keys of the game. He's not even angry when he does this, what is the point of ranting if it is not angry?
• Ray Durham is a good trade. I don't know much about the guys they gave up. Hopefully Durham starts at 2nd and Weeks comes off the bench, not vice versa. We still need a relief pitcher. During most games our bats are not preventing us from winning, our relief pitching is. Our starters can't keep going 8 innings.
• The next 2 weeks are incredibly important to the Brewers. 4 games against Cardinals and Cubs. When it is all over Brewers could be anywhere from in 1st place, or as much as 8 games out. Crucial.
  
• Suppan starts on Tuesday, he needs to find himself. If he pitches how he can pitch, we have the best 1-2-3-4 rotation in majors.
  
• Was sitting around reading and listening to Snoop Dogg "Doggystyle" and I think it is the quinessential rap album. Made all this other rap possible. Every song, every lyric is well executed. He raps about bitches ("Any dog that doesn't pee on trees is a bitch" classic), hoes, drugs, guns, money, everything. I think once I form my super group "Dr. Schtickel and the Anti-dentites" our first album is going to be a word for word cover of Doggystyle. It will feature all genres of music; bluegrass, acoustic, punk, ska, 80s dance, everything).
• I am going to bring back the word "Swicked." Snoop drops it a bunch on the album, and it is a great word that needs to be popular again.
