Landmark Weekend

Big weekend in sports landmarks my peeps. Arod hits 500, Bonds ties Aaron, and Tom Glavine wins 300. Also, Tiger Woods made Rory Sabbatini his bitch.

Woo hoo.

The correct, and predictable reaction, to the first two was a collective yawn. (Or more accurately, a "well at least that's taken care of.") Nobody seems to think 500 homeruns will be the biggest achievement of ARod's career, nor does anybody think that Bonds hit 755 without some, well, artificial assistance.

Hell, everybody seems to think that it's just a matter of time before ARod breaks any record that Bonds sets. You'd think a quick flashback to the mid nineties and Griffey Jr. would be enough for people to remember that breaking records of longevity are not sure things, but whatever. I have to be honest, I just don't care. At all. Personally, home runs are about my least favorite thing to watch in baseball. I'd rather watch a triple or an inside the park home run any day. (Favorite play in baseball: The straight steal of home.)

Tom Glavine's achievement interests me a bit. Mostly because I've always thought that Glavine is one of those professional athlete's who gets absolutely no credit for being a good athlete. He was drafted in the 4th round of the NHL draft, which has to count for something. (I mean, in 1984 that counted for something. Doesn't really count for anything now, sorry hockey fans. All three of you.) That and the fact that we were born in the same town, and one of my neighbors was actually his HS teacher. Other than that, I honestly couldn't care less.

Did anything else interesting happen this weekend? Does me taking back the recycling count? How about mowing the lawn? Does that count?

How sad is that I am anxiously awaiting the start of Celtics season. I mean, I know it's sad, but is it Real Sad, Really Really Sad, or just simply Pathetic? It's certainly somewhere in there.

Also, was this the most boring blog ever? Might have been, might have been.
