Daily Brew 7/25
Ned Yost strikes again. You remember when Ned said he "needed" to see more from de la Rosa and others so he "didn't have" to overuse guys like Wise, Botallico and Santana? de la Rosa, Dana Eveland and at times even Justin Lehr have all looked very impressive lately, so what does Ned do yesterday? He goes with Julio Santana, the same Santana who has pitched in 6 of the last 9 games, but Ned doesn't want to overuse him. End result, walk off home run by Adam Dunn.
Lance Armstrong won the Tour De France for the 7th time yesterday. Does anyone really care? The first win after the comeback from cancer was great, moving and truely heroic, but I stopped caring exactly six years ago.
More news in the "Like I Care Category," the Cubs got a big win last night over the Cardinals. Another bullpend mishap only to find Nefi Perez bail them out with a grand slam. F'ing Cubs.
John Heder (Napolean Dynamite) is appearing in another movie. I saw the trailer for it before Wedding Crashers, and the introduced him as "Napolean Dynamite's John Heder." When they have to remind people who you played or what movie you were in, you career is officially almost over.
The MLB does not test for Human Growth Hormones, but they do test for steriods. Jason Giambi meanwhile has been on a tear. I hope I'm wrong, but hmmm...
The A's have now won six in a row, and are only 5 1/2 back of the Angels. The Angels are officially crapping thier pants.
This time in the "Like Anybody Cares" category, Ben Crane won the US Bank Championship yesterday. How much longer until the PGA Championship returns to Whistling Straits? Yeah, wake me up in 2011.
Too bad Penny Hardaway's career went into the toilet, because it meant no more Lil Penny.
Andrew Bogut's summer league stats: 13.2 ppg, 10.0 rgp, 1.4 bpg.
Marvin Williams summer league stats: 7.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 28% shooting percentage.
Again, if Andrew Bogut wasn't white, this pick wouldn't even have been a debate.

Compared to the first two daily brews this was not as good for me. Perhaps no one cares about who won the US Bank championshipuntil Tiger comes back to play in it, but some of us don't really care what the Angels are doing either. I would also like to comment on Lance's seventh title falling into a "like I care" category. That might be the most ridiculous thing written on this site so far. He won one of the most grueling competitions, not just 7 times, but 7 times in a row. The man set a record that will likely stand for generations. To say that falls under the "who cares" is ludacris.

How many people watch, or really have a strong interest in the Tour De France? Thats why it's in the who cares category. Bicycling means nothing here. Sure it's impressive and one of the most grueling events out there, but lets not forget this is the only event the man competes in all year on the circuit, while others do more than just the Tour De France. In saying that, I am in now way trying to take away from what he's done, I'm just pointing out the facts. As long as Nate still writes for this site I will never has the distinction of "Most ridiculous thing written." And by the way, Tiger is never coming back to the US Bank Championship, after talking to him last year at the PGA Championship that much became painfully clear to me and everyone else in the room.
