Sean B. Fitzgerald It doesn’t go something like this, it goes exactly like this.

In the depths of a dark basement on a rainy day…

In an attempt to validate my laziness and constant procrastination (I think it's becoming a serious problem), I will write a blog post that is basically just short bursts of thought in word-form that express my opinions on the world of sports and whatever crosses my mind.

• Brad Penny is a fat man. Today he pitched in his first start for the Red Sox against the Angels, and from the looks of it, he has never heard of the term, "Gym". But in all fairness, he has always been overweight. It's not really a suprise. What IS a suprise is his ability to date rather attractive women such as Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku. I guess true beauty really is on the inside.
• Barring a historic comeback on Sunday, Tiger Woods will NOT be doning the green jacket for the fifth time. He just finished the third round -2 taking his total for the three days at -4. Which leaves him 8 shots back of leaders Kenny Perry and Angel Cabrera who are both at -11 for the tournament. That's convienent for me. Now I don't have to watch golf on Sunday.

It may be unnecessary for me to put my two cents in regarding Nick Adenhart's tragic death, but I feel compelled to. This may be an odd reference, but in the movie Hot Fuzz, the main character (a police officer) informs his partner that "car accidents" should be termed "traffic collisons" because "car accident" implies that there is no one to blame. When I first saw the headline of Nick Adenhart's death it read Angels pitcher dies in car accident. As I learned more about the story, it became clear that it was no accident. Andrew Gallo, 22, had a blood alcohol level estimated three times the legal limit, got behind the wheel of a car, sped through a red light, and took the lives of three young people. I had a friend who drove under the influence. I heard the story the next day, "I was driving down the street by your house and slammed into the guardrail. My car has a huge dent".  We laughed it off because we're idiots. Not even for one second thinking about what could have happened. And since nothing else did happen, it didn't really deter him from doing it another time. And another time. I just hope he realizes the potential consequences of his behavior. Because of what we're shown in the news, the drunk driver almost always lives. A lifetime of regret and sorrow to pay for what they've done. It shouldn't take the death of a 22 year old major league pitcher for this to hit home for anyone. Nick Adenhart had his whole life ahead of him. Andrew Gallo has his whole life to think about that.
