Alright I just have to say something: How in the name of everything that is holy did Dane Friggin Cook land the official title of Major League Baseball Postseason Spokesperson??? Is this all a sick joke?
Now I remember when Don Cheadle made a name for himself doing the NFL Playoffs commercials a few years ago. Those were great. Groundbreaking commercials. Undeniably got everyone psyched for the NFL Playoffs AND launched Cheadle's career.
But Dane Cook??? Are you kidding me??? How is anyone supposed to take the drama of the playoffs seriously with Dane Cook as the guy building up October? What, was Pauly Shore busy or something??
Note to MLB: Next year, go with a legitimate actor not an overrated comedian (yes, Dane Cook is overrated. I said it and I stand by it. He's not that funny.) Why not James Earl Jones? Guy's got the best voice ever and his speech in Field of Dreams still brings out the goosebumps nearly 20 years after it first came out. Why not Kevin Costner? His "hey dad...wanna have a catch?" line draws the waterworks everytime. So many other ways to go with this October campaign and MLB goes with Dane Freakin Cook. Please Mr. Selig do NOT allow this to happen ever again. You wanna try and launch a young up and comer's career? Go with John Krasinski, who we all know and love as Jim Halpert from the Scranton Branch of Dunder-Mifflin. Keep Dane Cook the hell away from baseball.
Onto some other stuff:
-Videotaping other teams signals or not, the Pats are unstoppable. Question: How do you beat the Pats with a motivated Moss and a Brady that finally has a top-tier receiver? Answer: That dude from Unsolved Mysteries will still be working on this one in 20 years.
-Right now I hate to say it, but the Sox don't look like a team that's even making it out of the Division Series, let alone the ALCS or World Series. I hope I'm wrong though. And let's hope Tito makes the right choice and keeps Ellsbury on the playoff roster. This kid belongs there. The spark he brings, along with the spark Pedroia has brought all season, could be just enough to get the Sox in gear in October. Oh, and we have some guy named David Ortiz who has a knack for coming through in the clutch and some dude named Manny that's had a month off to rest. Don't forget about two proven dominant October arms (Beckett and Schilling) plus a veteran that's been there before (Wakefield) plus a young, completely insane, fireballing closer (Papelbon) and a guy lined up for what should be a top 5 finish in the AL MVP voting (Lowell).
-House returns to FOX next week. If you're not watching that show, you're a moron. It's the best thing on TV.
-Heads up: Danny Mac makes his debut as a pro wrestling commentator along with his boy Gardner this coming Saturday in Worcester. Oh it's true...it's DAMN true.
Alright that's it for now. I just had to flip out about the Dane Cook thing, and while I was at it figured I'd throw a couple more things atcha.
Preview of coming attractions: A Q&A with Greech coming sometime in the very near future.

Thanks for bringing the truth about Dane Cook to the public, all four of us readers. I completely agree about his playoff ads, they just don't seem to do it, they are nowhere near the cheadle spots. And not only that, he gets put in a decently hyped movie with Jessica Alba on top of that. Just not quite right. Don't get me wrong, he's a funny guy, his standup is decent, but its just he belongs more as the assistant chef in Waiting than the star of postseason ads and blockbuster movies.
i'm glad you agree with me. i'm not even going to go into the plagiarizing thing, because it's in my comments somewhere, i'm just too lazy to look for it.
how did the wrestling announcing go?
