A few items for your consideration on this sleeping in kind of day.
We mentioned Troy Tulowitzki's absurd numbers in the Rockies' home games in a comment a week or so ago. He's gone plaid since then:
Those numbers don't reflect the three hits he had in his first four at-bats last night. The lone out was a rocket to third that was speared by a diving Chase Headley.
The FA Cup Final got some run in this space, but we probably underplayed the final matchday of Spain's La Liga. Atletico Madrid capped one of the more improbable title runs in elite national soccer league history. With a budget far below that of powers Barcelona and Real Madrid, Atletico managed to hold off both with a 1-1 tie against the legendary Catalan side yesterday. It had been a decade since any team other than the two Spanish titans had captured the La Liga title. And now Atletico goes for the double against Real next Saturday.
Presented with only a brief comment:
One could make the argument that any bet other than one on Miami yields pretty decent value at this point. I'm actually a bit surprised that the Spurs are less than 2-1, especially given the Ibaka injury. As always, entertainment purposes only. Unless you make a lot of cake on it, in which case, a nice sixer of Pliny the Elder would be great.
This guy (no names, people) is coming to DC next weekend to star once again in the National Memorial Day Parade. If you're local, we'll be tailgating. If you're not, consider a trip to the Nation's Capitol to pay your respect.
I realize I'm a bit of a broken record on this topic, but when one's favorite band makes a kickass album, one tends to run on a bit. KEXP hosted Old 97s live in studio this week, playing tunes from Most Messed Up. Please enjoy the selection below - may its sloppy, romantic vibe bring you and your significant other some sweaty, drunk pleasure. Maybe not tonight, perhaps, but some weekend in your near future. And Shlara and I (and Team KQ, hopefully) will be catching Rhett and the boys at the 9:30 Club on May 31. Bart Scott and I can't wait.
Enjoy the final day of the final weekend before you can start wearing white again, boys and girls.

Seriously lazy Sunday. The most effort I've exerted today was watching this youtube video. It's over 15 minutes long but highly entertaining, especially if you like bikes, black metal or smooth r&b grooves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRqeKMRI1nM&feature=share&list=PL4m8lQGvjPNyzGhUd-wL3SSMmEzTj5xeY&index=21
Horrible judgement by Z last night. Should've waited one more minute for his Hey Gheorghies. Them again, I assume he was hammered since he was up that late.
Following in Mrs. Teej's footsteps, today is my first go at smoking meat. Currently 3+ hours in.
I drove to Manhattan w/ my kids this morning and took them to the top of the Empire State Building and to the Lego store. Back home, dealing w/ the after-effects of a nacho-heavy lunch.
And last week's Mad Men was an all-timer. Gives the term "nip slip" a whole new meaning.
The "We're really doing this?" look on DD's face was priceless.
I was up late with a baby. It feels like being hungover without the fun of feeling hammered.
I would make a meat smoking joke but I'm too mature for that.
My bro is a caterer and recently acquired a meat smoking device that I'd bet can smoke more meat than all the readers of this blog combined. It's like a giant convection oven with a fire box in it.
Agassi/McEnroe on MSG Plus. Only serve and volley play you'll see all year.
But can he soak-a da cork?

ill communication is 20 years old today. that means that clarence is old as shit.
Had a terrific wkd. Manly stuff in the yard which included the 10' ladder and a tree cutter. Workouts w I think/hope a fully recovered back. Just cooked and prepared the best meal we have had forever....blackened tilapia w mango salsa....bitchin blackened and crispy potato wedges and corn on cob. All on grill. Pool time too. On lanai sippin a Danimal creation of vodka, peach vodka, oj, and cranberry. Jimmy Buffet Reggae on the Pandora machine...and it's exceptional. The kids are bathed, by me mind you. The weather here in fla was fucking perfect this weekend. That ends this week w temps in the 90's. 100x's better than last wkd which is post worthy, almost. It includes a once in a decade 10-year drunken stupor and a beach cruiser bike wreck/face plant in the middle of my road, hypothetically.
I have to get laid tonight, right?
