Slacks, Mid-Summer Novelty Gamblng, etc.

The most under-reported aspect of the entire Plaxico Burress case is that the jackass was wearing sweatpants to a club. Ain't no thing to me if that bama wants to look like a slob in the club (although you wonder if Coughlin has some rules about that), but I'd like to say a few words in support of the functionality of a non-elastic waistband. Look, I'm sure we can agree that elastic is totally kickass awesome. If it were up to me, Under Armor would furnish the world. But let me tell you, when you're carrying a gun without a holster, a sturdy waistband can be your best friend. If Plax chose slacks that could be sized with a number instead of several X's, his thigh would have one fewer bullet hole and there's a pretty decent chance the Giants would have one more Super Bowl appearance.

We promise slacks advice and we deliver. I think Geoff should handle the next installment though.

The Mets are sucking the baseball life out of me and I don't like it one bit. It's too much Fernando Tatis. Too much Tim Redding. I can't watch these old scrubs play baseball. I've got a Mets Manifesto buried somewhere inside that I've going to try to conjure up later this month. It's going to be long and nasty and most people who read this website aren't going to finish it.

British Open Preview: Cloudy. No trees. Bunkers with bricks on the inside. Fans wearing sweaters.

Home Run Derby Odds:

Albert Pujols 11/4
Ryan Howard 9/2
Joe Mauer 5/1
Prince Fielder 11/2
Nelson Cruz 6/1
Carlos Pena 6/1
Adrian Gonzalez 7/1
Brandon Inge 14/1
Kind of makes you think...what's wrong with Brandon Inge. The guy can hit a golf ball 400 yards.

As for the game, I like the Exactly One Run in the 3rd inning at 16:5 and I think the AL is a good choice to score first at 2:3.

I prefer Santorelli slacks, which can be found at most Nordstroms. Their all-weather yet light weight and they provide the numbered waistline feature Jerry highlighted in his post which is designed to fit comfortably and hold most firearms.

By far the best British Open preview you will get anywhere. Thanks Jerry, I'm ready for Thursday now.

For what its worth, I like some obscure to win the Open Championship this year. Graeme McDowell, Paul McGinley, Robert Karlsson...

And in a turn indicative of my prognosticating prowess, Karlsson just withdrew from the Open. Awesome.

I like Prince at 11/2...

Antonio Cromartie is currently being sued by five different women in paternity suits. He says that contributed to his subpar season in 2008. Cromartie is father to seven children by seven mothers. He is 25 years old.

That's more impressive than Shawn Kemp, Travis Henry...hell any athlete I can think of. Once again, I'm forced to have a healthy respect for Antoni Cromartie, despite my allegiances otherwise.

Here's hoping Swint took my advice on Mr. Fielder...
