Short Attention Span's guide to the weekend past

Before I start, anybody seen a decent movie for grown-ups this summer? Are there any? I mean... Transformers? C'mon. I'm not hunting Bergman here, just something someone over the age of 6 can watch.

Now then:

What kind of idiot takes heroin to an amusement park?

A. Pujols who hasnt hit a homer in 70-some at-bats, volunteers to be in the Derby tonight, anyway. It's why we root for him and boo Bonds.

Field announced for W&S tennis. It's great, as usual, might get Federer and Nadal in the final. This event is the best run, least appreciated sporting event in this area. It has been for so long, it has retired the crown. Go watch it sometime, even if you don't like tennis.

A few Favorites I failed to mention from a post a week or so ago: Esquire Theatre, Half-Price Books, the incredibly varied, cheap and good public golf courses here. A continued source of appreciation and amazement.

P. Mackanin's big personnel move is to give J. Valentin more PT? Really?

Brantley gets better and better.

Dumbest show I fell into while doing nothing: Man Versus Wild, on Discovery... dude gets dropped into the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest with, like, a pocket knife and a bottle of water, and we're supposed to believe he's Balboa. Watch it and laugh.

A. Harang snubbed 3x by Genius La Russa for all-star spot... could it because of the beaning Harang laid on Cards catcher Barrett?

Live big, Ray Fosse.
