Tuesdays Suck

To recap some of our items from yesterday:

The Fresno State-Georgia game was nothing short of amazing as Gordon Beckham, the 8th overall pick of the Amateur Draft (White Sox), hit a two run bomb in the bottom of the eighth, keying a four-run rally and giving Georgia a 8-7 win. Gordon also made a terrific play in the top-half of the inning to kill Fresno State’s rally by snagging a line shot and applying a diving tag on some fool who’d wandered too far off of second base. He still looks like Steven Drew v. 2.0 to me but the kid can obviously play. A-Town’s Ryan Overland also hit a jack. Big day in the Big O, Game Two is this afternoon on ESPN.

Tell me you didn’t drive to work today with “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes” in your head. Amazing that Fu-Schnickens never made it big.
And finally, the NBA Draft is Thursday — probably my favorite not-an-actual-sport-but-related-to-a-sport-nevertheless, Rose and Beasley are a lock for 1 and 2 (probably in that order) but after that it’s looking thin like Manute Bol.
