I know this is supposed to be about poker but, well, the Sports Guy likes poker and writes about it sometime. And so, I don't feel too bad to post a link to his latest column that actually says nice things about Houston.
He also writes about the Home Run Derby last night. I was there too, and I have to agree with him that it's a ton of fun - no score to care about, no one taking themselves seriously, the crowd going crazy at times - what better environment to suck down some beers and enjoy a nice summer night from the right field bleachers? It was very nice. Lance Berkman also made a run that was fun to watch.
I also happen to agree with him about this. It would be funny:
(One highlight in Round 1: My realization that they need to dump the little kids in the outfield and replace them with terrified models and actresses. Imagine Gisele Bundschen screaming in horror as a David Ortiz moonshot comes dropping down on her like a grenade? Tell me this wouldn't make for riveting TV. And yes, I know we're at the 3,500-word mark. I'm wrapping it up. Trust me.)
