In an epic final four in the 1st ever popsicle challenge sponsored by Gillette, Bomb pops aka Patriot Pops aka Red, White, and Blue pops narrowly held on against some fierce competition. They edged out the upstart Strawberry Kiwi in the semis, and after 3 seed Pina Colada nudged past 2 seed Banana in an ESPN Instant Classic, Bomb pops just barely squeaked past Pina Colada in the final. A great showing from all involved, except Root Beer. I can't get over how much Root Beer sucked ass. Also a big fuck you to my brother, who ate the last Strawberry Kiwi popsicle, preventing a third place game against Banana.
Since I am still incapacitated due to the tonsils being taken out, and I am all O.C.'d out for about the rest of my life, I have played about 35 games of MVP Baseball on the Deuce in the last couple of days. I am currently leading the AL East with a record of 94-55, 3 games up on the Yanks, but getting completely screwed in the MVP voting. Johnny Traitor Damon is leading the race with a .319 average, 35 homers, and 79 RBI (like Damon has hit 35 homers in his career, but that's a different story.) Meanwhile, Manny is hitting .355 with 45 homers and 111 RBI, and Ortiz is hitting .333 with 40 and 122, but neither of them is the MVP? Unbelievable. At least David Wells is the front-runner for the Cy Young. And at least I'm not totally pissed off by a video game's voting system for MVP. I'm off to play another 11 games until the painkillers make me pass out for the night.
