Did any of you catch this last night ?
How f-ing awful was it ?
I so wanted to watch it because it had a lot of my favorite players ( Ozzie Smith, Lee Smith, Vince Coleman ) but the announcing and some of the celebrities were just plain bad.
I normally like Gary Thorn and even Sutcliffe for the most part but hearing them gush about people like Nelly ( who did hit a nice bomb and made a nice catch ) and a Back Street Boy was killing me.
I spent 20 minutes trying to find out who the girl was catching for the one team and when she finally gets up to bat they are rambling on about some other nonsense.
Finally I looked it up online and it was the FBI chick from this season's 24.
There should be a rule that in any softball game like this that the celebrities must have to at least be athletic.
They went on about how that Denton guy from Desperate Housewive had gone 7 for 7 w/ 3 HRs in the last 2 games like this and then when you saw him field a ball and through it he looked like he should've been in the Special Olympics.
And he was one of the better ones.
Billy Bob Thorton looked like the last kid picked in gym class.
What is he like 80 now ?
And screw Bobby Knight. I'm so over his schtick.
And I think Golic looked better in a pair of baseball pants than that pig Ashanti did.
OK, that's enough venting.
