Chipper Jones' comments are....awesome.

This was on CBSSportsline.com, firstly, he's batting over .400 and he's pissed because every year he's overlooked by fans, and whoever else votes, despite having a fantastic career and all that. He said this:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Chipper Jones leads David Wright in All-Star voting at the third base position in the NL through Wednesday. He hasn't made the All-Star team since 2001. "Honestly it's a shame that I've got to go out and hit .400 for two months to make an All-Star team," Jones said. "It's kind of depressing to me because I've had -- to me -- what I think are some pretty good first halves, what I think is a pretty good career, and I haven't made an All-Star team since '01. ... But I'll take it. Got to make a splash to get people's attention? Got to make a splash."

Love him or hate him, it's the truth. He's been overlooked more times than John McCain's health records. I hate David Wright, he's having a not-so-good year, and if he makes it to the All Star Team in front of Chipper Jones, I will boycott baseball. Not only that, but if David Wright makes it in front of Ryan Braun, I will fucking be astonished. Braun is having a fantastic year. It's just funny to me that there's always these fan favorites that have to be right up there, like David Wright. He's never that good, he has some good stats (sometimes) and he gets the fans behind him and New York Metropolitans fans are fucking retarded. Ryan Braun deserves to be in the All Star game, what I think should happen, and what I think are going to happen are two totally different things.

Fuck you David Wright, I hate your guts.

Murphy signs for a 4th "Cop"

Beverly Hills Cop I, II, and III are some of my favorite flicks. The first one indefinitely. I loved them, when I heard that Brett Ratner was going to direct a new one, I immediately got scared. Brett Ratner is a decent director X-Men: The Last Stand was absolutely atrocious to begin with, so the directing didn't really strike fear into my heart...Now Eddie Murphy has signed on for Beverly Hills Cop 4 to be directed by Ratner...and maybe...maybe star Judge Reinhold?

It wouldn't be the same without Judge Reinhold.

Minute Man picture...shit...

The Minute Men is what the Watchmen were before they were Watchmen...basically there is flash backs in Zack Snyder Watchmen of the first super powers.

It looks pretty fucking badass.

What I saw on my way to work....

So I'm driving along, singing a song, and I pass by a garage sale. Or, I guess in this case, a trailer sale, because I'm pretty sure (on pretty sure) that trailers do not have garage's. And being that it could be a yard sale, but there was no sign I will make a joke out of this, and say "What would you call a garage sale if it was being held at a trailer...on the side of the road?" I figure, one could call it a yard sale, but that's too easy. What I would like to know is how they fit this gigantic table they had outside, inside that teenie-weenie trailer. Craziness.

Finally...a "CHOKE" trailer...

It's been a while since we've gotten a flick from the creative mind of Chuck Palahniuk which is directed by Clark Gregg.

Firstly I haven't read Choke, but I am pretty sure that I own the book and that it's somewhere; so I may have to indulge. Secondly Clark Gregg is way-way-way-underrated. He was the mystery buyer in Sports Night some years ago, played an FBI Agent on multiple episodes of The West Wing plays Julia Louis Dreyfuss' ex on The New Adventures of Old Christine, was the lead Agent of S.H.I.E.D in Iron Man, played a sicko on The Shield and countless other shows/movies he was in.

Needless to say, this is the first movie he's directed, but it did win the Jury Prize at Cannes..and it is based on the novel by the same cat who wrote Fight Club..and Se7en...can it be bad?

Check out the trailer.

Gas Prices are way too high...

Got this at UPI.com...

Longest .400+ Streaks...

Sports Illustrated has an article....or a pictorial? I'm not sure. Aren't pictorials lazy? PRETTY PICTURES! Woo...Chipper Jones is batting .418 right now with 12 dingers and 30+ RBIs, so far, having the best season of his career and hopefully it continues until October. When we can say when someone drops below the .400 mark at the beginning of the season: "Oops, they dropped below the Jones line!"
