Joe T., always working hard…

By Joe Torosian

Kick it!

Note to Media: Stop trying to make “Qlo” happen… It’s not going to happen.

I really wanted to come on and write about how the Dodgers are winless since selling what remained of their soul to Satan…but…all I’ve got is the ridiculous Will Ferrell opening.

I understand wanting to do a bit, but Ferrell is played.

Angels pitching throws a shutout, and Mike Trout lasts 9 innings (and homers) in the Halo’s 3-0 win over the Astros on Thursday.

The Pirates’ Oneil Cruz had about as bad a first inning against the Mets as Willie Davis did against the Orioles in the ’66 Series. 

The Cade Cunningham saga over reaching the minimum number of games to qualify for NBA honors is a classic case of real life versus the pseudo-fairness of Marxism and the way it’s been foisted on our young people.

Cunningham, who is having a great season with the Detroit Pistons, is out until the playoffs with a collapsed lung. This makes him ineligible for MVP, All-NBA, and everything else, as he will have played fewer than 65 games.

The problem is a generation has been raised to believe that if something is not fair to our feelings, then the rule must be wrong. 

It boils down to Lex Rex—those who believe in the rule of law and those who don’t. Marx doesn’t.

As Kirk once said, “You know that pain and guilt can’t be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They’re the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don’t want my pain taken away! I need my pain!”

In life, there is pain and disappointment, but when endured, growth, grace, and confidence come.

Never thought I’d see Hayden Fry out-coach Tom Osborne, but Iowa did beat Nebraska last night. Of course, the Cornhuskers might have done better if they had put five players on the court at the most critical moment rather than just four.

My flirtation with “always being a Texas fan” is over…However, I’ve always been pro-Purdue. It’s a Rick Mount-Billy Keller thing.

Only a mother-in-law’s kiss can be as cold as Houston was in the second half against Illinois Thursday night…Trust me, I know.

That was a serious clank-fu effort by the Cougars.

“Puka, when you go out, you probably don’t feel like you need this. Bro, just go ahead and spend that thousand dollars every time you step out into these streets and get security. Just pay it because now, you’re going to spend $100K on an attorney.”—T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

As a Mets fan, I feel really good about Tanner Scott still being on the Dodgers roster.

#16—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth.

Oh, I’ve always been a Carson Benge fan!

The Dude abides…
