Yesterday (May 27) was one of those weird days. I spent a couple of hours in the dental chair getting a tooth ready for a crown. Normally I would say that was a bad thing, but in this case it gave me a rare opportunity to see a day time Cubs game. Yes, the dentist has a TV within viewing site of the chair. Carlos Zambrano (Big Z) was attempting his 100th career win for the 2nd time. No, he didn't get it - he got tossed in the top of the 7th instead, leaving the game with a 2 - 2 tie agains the Pirates. Here's the deal: The Pirates had one on third. Carlos threw a wild pitch which sent Giovanni Soto chasing. Z covered the plate, placing his right foot between the plate and the base runner. Soto corralled the ball and tossed it to Z, who applied the tag as the player bellf-flopped a slide in. The camera angle and zoom weren't sufficient for me to tell if the runner was safe or out. The umpire called him safe setting off Z. Now for the real tricky part. Z got tossed for making contact with the ump. I watched the replay at least 3 times and the ump leaned his left shoulder the way of Z. If he didn't touch Z, he was within a whisker. Z reacted and leaned in as well. The rest is history and I'll have to let the MLB sort it all out. The real loser of the whole altercation was the Gatorade drink dispenser in the Cubs dugout which had just been rebuilt after being stuck by an ill tempered Dempster a day or two earlier. Dempster used his left fist on the machine, Zambrano may have put it out of it's short lived life using a bat on it in lieu of his body. Sure beat an episode of Rachel Ray, which the dental assistant had tuned the TV to. Good thing my dentist is a Cubs fan!
George (King George) Strait. What a fitting title and tribute, Artist of the Decade. Great interpretations and performances all around by the artist performing his songs. My special accolades go to Taylor Swift sining Run and to Jamie Foxx for his redition of You Look So Good In Love. I didn't even know Jamie was a singer. I think he may have stole the whole show.
By the way, if you don't have the Troubador album by George you are really missing out.
