3:15am

The Mets fire Willie at 3:15am. The list of things that should be happening at 3:15am is a short one and I can guarantee firing someone is not on there. 3:15am is a time for a drunken rally or a drunken hookup or some "are you awake? yeah me too." sex. Getting fired shouldn't happen at 3:15am unless you are a graveyard shift worker. I don't think Willie was. So, am I shocked he got fired? No. Does the timing baffle me? Yes, because it was at 3:15am. I mean, go to sleep you bastards.

Also this 3:15am brings up another point. Why the fuck does the media need to nail down the time he got fired to the minute?? Well you know what? I am not satisfied! I demand to know how many seconds we were into that minute. Was it really closer to 3:16am?? Did everyones watch in the room say 3:15am or did someone else have a different time?? These are the hard hitting questions that our so called media should be asking. Frankly, the whole situation just grinds my gears.

Finally, Jerry Manuel takes over? Good luck with that.

Hilarity in the WWL headlines: "Yankees' Wang shelved until at least Sept." I mean come on, everyone there at the WWL is laughing at that. They've been writing Wang headlines for months waiting to bust them out at the right time.

More Shamoffing from me: Javon Walker died or something, if you care go read the article yourself.

El Tardo fired up a tennis article for the magazine??? That is a major WFT for me. Who's idea was this?? I can't wait until the Omnibus writes about how certain writers at the WWL should just stick to the sports they know and not try to branch out into even gayer arenas.

In other news there were over 800 comments on last post. I did not read them. I will do so now, I expect hilarity and nothing less.

No movie review because tits never posts enough on Tuesdays. Blame her.


OK since I am a sucker for women Beth has convinced me to add a tem movie review:

To Kill A Mockingbird.

This is another classic movie that was based on a book. Obviously the book is better because you can't really take a movie hunting with you. So if you have the book you can read the instructions on how to shoot the bird without scaring the bird. So anyway, this movie is basically a big instructional video. Of course it can't help itself and gets a little preachy (although it never really addresses the need to kill a mockingbird). Anyway, if you ever wanted to know how to track and kill a mockingbird this is the movie for you. The tracking they demonstrate is pretty high level tracking, so try not to get lost. It is very heavily influenced by the Native American style of tracking. In that style you mimic another animal so that the mocking bird is not scared. Generally speaking a turkey is easy to mimic. If you act like a turkey the mockingbird will let you get close and you can line up a much easier shot. Native Americans had to master this technique because their bows and arrows did not allow them to take down a deer from 1500 meters away. Also they did not have any four wheelers. Anyway, if the tracking in the movie is too difficult to follow the book has a lower level tracking section (in Chapter 10: Run The Damn Thing Over With Your Honda), but the movie (due to time constraints) skips that part.

I feel the need to tell everyone that there is a little known fact about this movie. It is a sequel to I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. In that movie we learn that the Caged Bird sings because it is about to get shot. Of course if the bird knows it is going to get shot it has the advantage. To Kill a Mockingbird is designed to take that advantage away and allow you to, well, kill the mockingbird.

Anyway, I'd give this movie 2 helmet stickers out of 5. For an instructional video it is pretty entertaining. But really the instructional video has a cap of 2 helmet stickers.
