I go to watch the Tour de France on Versus HD tonight and this is the screenshot I get. For over an hour.
















All is not lost, of course, because of the access to the Versus digital channel, but it's so much better in HD. Lance Armstrong was pretty shitty today. However, Lance zipping down that descent at the end of yesterday's stage was one of the coolest things I've seen in HD. Can't get a clip of the descent, but here's a clip of Lance's climb. Check #22 in the Astana jersey at about the 3-minute mark:



If you wanna see what the craziness is all about, I urge you to watch Stage 20 on Saturday, the second last day of this year's tour. Mont Ventoux. Get up early. See if Lance can win a stage.

Here's a bunch of "Star Wars" T-shirts I own #81.

It's stupidity, not racialism. Arrested for "breaking in" to your own house. WTF?

Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game today. The great thing about Buehrle is he works fast. Really fast.

He's pitched two games against the Indians in 2009. Lost 4-0 in May in 2 hours and 23 minutes. Won 10-6 two weeks ago in 2:46. That's a lot of runs scored in less than 3 hours.
