Summer Television is brutal. There is literally nothing on but garbage reality shows and Tribe ball. This has been a tough couple of weeks especially with the Tribe off for the all star break and then heading West for nothing but 10:00 PM start times, which obviously I can't hang for more than four innings tops these days.
At least Big Brother started last week. That's a three night-a-weeker for us. I refuse to watch any show in real time anymore as Tivo has ruined me for good. I am trying to watch random shows while on the treadmill. I gave Generation Kill (HBO) a shot the other day. It was average at best. Thanks to my boy Teddy, I did find a gem on the National Geographic Channel called Locked Up Abroad where it shows true stories of people in foreign countries who on their travels end up in jail for one reason or another. It's like that bad movie with Vince Vaughn and Joaquin "hairlip" Phoenix where Phoenix gets thrown in a Thailand jail for drug possession.
Other than that, we've given the Greatest American Dog on CBS a watch, but are one episode behind. It was pretty solid.

A couple of weeks ago during one of Andrew's naps, I watched Revenge of the Nerds start to finish for the first time in probably 15 years. It was just as good as it ever was. Talk about an absolute classic. So many phenomenal scenes. You decipher for me which is the best. Here are my top four:
1. the Lambdas party trying to impress UN Jefferson.
-"So I say I gotta be freeeee. So I say I gotta be meeeee."
-The Omega Moo's arriving - "I could call my sisters, they're really spontaneous people." "not the moo's, they're a bunch of pigs."
-Wonderjoints - "you Moo's sure can party."
-"We thought you could use some more pigs for your party, nerds."
2. The Homecoming Carnival
-Lamar winning the javelin toss with his "aero-dynamic javelin" and "limp-wristed throwing style."
-Takashi winning the tricycle race
-"Eat a PI for Charity." Oger eating the pie "It's good....thisiswhy!"
3. The Coach Screaming at the Alpha Betas after losing the Carnival
-"when you were a baby in your crib, and your father looked down upon you. He had but one hope, that one day, my son would become a man. Well look at you now. You guys just got your asses WHIPPED, by a bunch of goddamn nerds. NERDS! Well if I was you I'd do something about it. I would get up and REDEEM myself. In the eyes of my father, my maker, and my COACH."
4. Trying to get into any fraternity they can and subsequent meeting with Lambda, Lambda, Lamdba President, U.N. Jefferson.
-"We went over your application, and it's not even close. Next time we recommend you don't include a group photo."
"Did we send a photo to everyone?"
"All except....Lambda, Lambda, Lambda."
"Here's one who will see us!"
"LAMBDA, LAMBDA, LAMBDA?"
"The're gonna love us."

The Tribe has won seven of eight now that the pressure is seemingly off. Big shocker. Even better news, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.com, both the Rays and the Mets are after my least favorite Tribe player of all time Casey Blake.
