HOW FREAKING COOL ARE THESE?
A collection of the coolest treehouses ever.

GOD I LOVE HORSE RACING
From this past weekend's Preakness. Ironclad lock of the century: I will be attending both the Derby and the Preakness in 2009.

THE REDS FACE BRAD PENNY TONIGHT
He's also dating Eliza Dushku. The Big Lead wonders if she's the latest celebrity girlfriend to jinx an athlete.

THINGS YOU SHOULD BE GLAD YOU WEREN'T AROUND FOR
Last night, there was a meltdown at my house. Roughly 9:30. Here's why.

I'VE NEVER ROOTED FOR ANYONE TO FAIL MORE
Some drunk attempts a death-defying feat at the Preakness. To see how he did, check out Deadspin.

WORST LITTLE LEAGUE EVER
A seven year old kid was suspended for two games from his little league team because his mom opted to do the responsible thing and do her actual job, rather work the concession stand at a little league game.
I know the argument is that you have to have some way of getting the concession stand staffed. My question would be this, have you ever eaten anything from a concession stand at a little league game? The food is brutal. I'd rather eat at a Long John Silver's which is really saying a lot. Do we actually have to have concession stand? Can the games continue without stale hotdogs and FUNachos?

THE DETRIOT LIONS. CLASSY.
Does e-mail show how Detroit Lions really feel about their fans?
"F--- 'em until next year," it said.

MY IDEA OF HELL ON EARTH

GOLF FOR A CAUSE...EVEN IF IT'S NOT WORTHWHILE
Join us for the first ever "Save the Webcam" golf outing. Save the Webcam is a non-profit group founded by me, aimed at raising funds so my blog can have a webcam. We only have one fundraiser and it's this Friday.
Details:
Where: Golf Center at Kings Island "Bruin" Course (aka, "the easy one")
When: 3pm, Friday
Cost: $18.50 with a cart, $11.50 to walk
I am playing only nine holes, you're welcome to play 18, but I'll be ready for a cold one at the Courseview restaurant after nine. In addition, you can stuff your bags with beer, which I'm not allowed to buy.
There will be a prize, though I have no idea what it is, and I have no idea who we're gonna award it to. Best score. Funniest dresser. Worst golfer. No idea. Either a Lance McAlister show t-shirt or something from my house will be up for grabs.
As you know, no successful charity golf outing goes without a sponsor, so we're currently in the process of lining up corporate support. Potential sponsors can e-mail me.
Hope you can join us. If you plan of attending, or need more information, e-mail Mark Chalifoux, tournament organizer, and Save the Webcam fundraising chair.

KNOW WHAT JAY BRUCE NEEDS MORE THAN A ROSTER SPOT?
Apparently, a nickname.

HERE'S AN INDUSTRY TERM FOR YOU: TOPICS
-Soooo, the Reds are good now, huh? Seriously, what a weekend, what a week. Six good starts, Dunn heating up (4 "meaningless" homers in 4 games), some clutch hitting, coming off the mat a few times, some outstanding defense. A week ago, we were burying them, now what?
-Do six straight wins make you think again about the moves we've debated for weeks?
-In the history of life, has anyone ever had a better five day run than Paul Janish. If I had five days like Paul Janish had, I might seriously consider offing myself, simply because life couldn't get any better.
-How scary is it that Edison Volquez is not anything close to being economic with his pitches, and wasn't sharp yesterday, yet he leads the Majors in ERA?
-Please tell me you watched LeBron v. Pierce yesterday.
-We're seriously gonna have to think about a Cyclones championship parade. Since the city of Cincinnati couldn't successfully put together a one car parade, is there a local community who wants to host our first championship celebration in 18 years?
