Flo-Joe's Angry Cousin Mmm...



Remember Florence Joiner-Kersee? She was a terrific track athlete and her nickname was Flo-joe.

Know what starts with an M and rhymes with Flo-Joe? It's Flo-Joe's angry cousin Mmm, Mmm...we cannot name him. We cannot call him by name. Clearly, the basketball Gods are angry with us and we must assume it is because we have transgressed.

Maybe if the Celtics weren't a better team than the Lakers the first two games, we wouldn't be talking about Mmm right now, but hey.

Kobe does not look very happy, does he? Does anyone glimpse any hope here? Plotnik does. Yes, he does. Um hmmm, yes he does. Harrumph.

Sorry, TGP. May I suggest some shade of purple for your next game? That is the sole reason our Giants went to the World Series and the fact that I neglected to wear purple for Game #7 has caused many people much grief.

If I was a Celtics fan, I would be ecstatic about now, but in no way confident. The Lakers almost won last night after trailing by 24 points with less than 8 minutes to go. That is terrifying (or thrilling, depending on which side of the fence you are on).

Honestly I doubt the Lakers lose another game. And I want them to lose two more.

BEAT L A!!! BEAT L A!!! BEAT L A!!!

Was that ex-Cubs fan and Chicago pariah Steve Bartman I saw in the stands, trying to grab a ball headed out-of-bounds? Has the curse of Wrigley Field been visited on the Southland? Hahahahahahahaha!
