I noticed last night that Bristol Myers Squibb in addition to sponsoring Lance Armstrong's Tour Of Hope is also getting major airtime as a sponsor of the MLB playoffs. So I thought of an idea...

Pretty much every highlight replay during a baseball telecast is sponsored by somebody. The Sox for example, have the Dodge Drive Of The Game, the Giordano's Delivery Of The Game, the ATA Home Run Replay, etc. If the suits over at Fox had any brains at all, they'd hook up with BMS to present the "Bristol Myers Squibb Squibber Of The Game." That's right...the best little dribbler that slips through the infield and gets a guy over or gets him home would be immortalized. Give the winning player a year's supply of Lipitor or something. I was going to suggest an anti-impotence drug, but 1) it doesn't look like they make one and 2) there's the matter of that fat contract MLB already has with Viagra.

Watched the games at a place called Celtic Crown last night. Tennis game was cut short due to one of my strings snapping...just when I got into a groove. I'm going to head up to the store where I bought it, plead poor and see if they'll restring it for free.
