Let's go Cubs!!

So I was researching Scientology out of curiosity and boredom and came across the following:

There are 8 levels of Scientology. The only way you can get to the next level is by giving the Church a lot of money.

They believe that an evil monster put all the life forms on his planet onto golden boeing 747's and sent them to Earth to die; those hostages were then tied to volcanoes and hydrogen bombs were dropped into the same volcanoes causing their bodies to vanish but leaving their souls behind. Those souls are mad and have since inhabitted our bodies. And that's why we get emotional, angry, and sad.

I shit you not... that's what they believe.

Anyways, I know this is non-sports related but I wanted to share it.

Now - onto sports.

Redsox vs. Rays = at least two fights. This is when I miss Pedro Martinez, he would've totally instigated at least one of them. (Don Zimmer anyone).

Phillies vs. Dodgers = Boring.

I would like to see Manny vs. Boston however.

For the Manny/Jason Bay trade haters this is how it's shaping up:

Manny - 5 for 10 at the plate, .500 average, 2 hr's, 5 runs, 3 RBI's, 4 walks, 3 k's... In 3 games.
Bay - 7 for 17 at the plate, .412 average, 2 hr's, 3 runs, 5 RBI's, 2 walks, 4 k's... In 4 games.

Not a big difference. Again, I loved this trade.

I still think the Cubs have a shot. This is "their year".

NFL News...

Nothing Special. The Titans are now 5-0 against 5 times whose combined record is 6-18.

Not impressed yet.

Other news...

Kimbo Slice is a bust. Is anybody surprised? That's what happens when you hang your hat on some guy whose never fought before.

Awesome news...

Memphis Tigers have landed another basketball player for the 2009 class. Darnell Dodson. He's listed as 6'6... but he's really 6'8. This guy can play all positions except center...

And last but certainly not least - Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner's girlfriend has called it quits with Hef... I didn't think she could get any dumber.
