My boy Mike O'Connor continues to pitch well for the Nationals. Alfonso Soriano continues to be a one-man offensive wrecking crew. The nats are approaching respectability and its mainly because of these two guys. The Nats were desperate for some starting pitching help and Okie has come in and kept them in every game. He hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any start. That is just plain awesome. Ask any manager what they want out of a starting pitcher and he'll tell you that they hope their starter gives his team a chance to win every time out. That is exactly what Okie is doing. Kudos young man. I watched his post game interview and freaked out as I remember him sitting in front of his locker for our 5:45 AM practice with a mouthful of nutter butters dozing off to sleep...

The world cup starts very soon with Germany playing Costa Rica. I'm recording lots of games and planning on watching said games. Note: the world cup is mirthful.

I'm doing a benefit show for the American Cancer Society tomorrow night at George Mason University. The show is at the track and field house which is by the Patriot Center. The show is going on for the better part of the afternoon. I do not go on until 11 PM. Yes that's right, 11 PM. That's after the Wizards dancers, a singing group, 2 bands and a break. This is one of those shows where I have zero expectation of doing well and can foresee the organizer apologizing profusely because the audience didn't care one iota about my performance. I will tell her its no problem because I am a nice guy and will feel good about myself because I bothered people who were doing charity work...Information about the event here.
