Loggers: Dott Dazzles in 5-0 Opening Night Win!

Aaron Dott (UW-Whitewater) took off right where he left off last summer as he led the La Crosse Loggers to an impressive 5-0 opening night win over the visting Thunder Bay Border Cats in front of 3,102 fans at Copeland Park.
Dott (1-0) tossed seven shutout innings, surrendering only two hits and a walk while striking out nine. Clayton Gant (Tennessee) came on and struck out the side in the eighth and Craig Crumbly (Florida Gulf Coast) pitched a perfect ninth to seal the victory.
The Logger offense was led by lead-off man Tony Mueller (Winona State) who went 4-5 in his Logger debut. Chris Engell (San Diego) also added a pair of hits. Clic on the pic to go to the Loggers site.
The Loggers and Thunder Bay will finish this two-game set tonight. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m. at The Lumber Yard. It is 100.1/Miller Lite night at the Loggers. See you there!

Also in theatres this weekend is the uplifting story....Drag me to hell. Which has a lame title in my opinion, but the trailer looks pretty cool. It is from the people that did Spiderman. If you have a fear of flies, you may want to stay away from this one. To check out the official site and see the trailer, click here.

Army Starts Testing 'Judge Dredd' Weapon

The U.S. Army is set to start testing a computerized, high-tech projectile launcher that can take out bad guys hiding around corners and in caves or trenches, even if they're out of the soldier's line of sight. Some experts call it the "Judge Dredd" gun, after the Sylvester Stallone movie. The Pentagon calls it the XM-25 Individual Air Burst Weapon, which uses a laser rangefinder to precisely measure the distance to a target, then primes a fuse on a timed grenade so that the projectile explodes exactly where it should. Excellent! Click on the pic for the full story.

Obama Set to Create 'Cyber Czar' Position

President Barack Obama is calling digital security a top priority, whether it's guarding the computer systems that keep the lights on in a city and direct airliners to the right runway or those protecting customers who pay their bills online.
To oversee an enhanced security system for U.S. computer networks, Obama is creating a "cyber czar" as part of a long-awaited plan stemming from a review he ordered shortly after taking office. My question is whether the "Cyber Czar" will stop them from sending me "package" enlargement e-mails and cut off the rich African prince that wants my info to send me a large inheritence.

Jessica Simpson to get new Reality Show

Ok, so everybody says how dumb Jessica Simpson is, after watching her old reality show when she was married to Nick Lachey. What is he doing lately, by the way? She hooks up with the starting QB of the Cowboys, Tony Romo...which she knows is going to get her pub and then she packs on a few pounds and the paparazzi snap some pics of her in her big mom jeans and now it's a new reality show for Jess. It is rumored to be called "The Price of Beauty". She's no dummy, she's a smart business chick. I don't really care about her singing, but she's no dumb blonde. It's all an act.

SuBo throws out F-Bombs at Hotel

She stunned Britain's Got Talent fans, contestants and their families before going into meltdown later in front of hundreds of hotel guests.
Cops intervened at 5pm yesterday after SuBo went berserk in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London when two strangers set out to "wind her up". The Scottish singer was heard to roar: "How f***ing dare you! You can't f***ing talk to me like that."
One of two cops stationed at the hotel went up and asked: "Is there a problem?"
Susan, dubbed SuBo, roared: "Of course there's a f***ing problem." To check out pic's of the incident and get the full story, click on the pic.

Drew Peterson Calls Radio Show From Jail, Suggests 'Win a Conjugal Visit With Drew' Contest

The former Bolingbrook police officer, charged in his third wife's death, offered snippets of a comedy routine on WLS-AM Radio's "Mancow & Cassidy" show.
"$20 million bond. Legal fees: tens of thousands. Being falsely accused of a homicide that didn't happen: priceless," Peterson said in a spoof of a MasterCard commercial. Peterson is charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He is also a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. This guy is a real piece of work. He's a cop who knows how to get away with murder and everyone knows it. Now he's making jokes from jail. I remember a serial murderer who used to sell his disgusting clown paintings from jail. Click on the pic for the full story.

2009 Koenigsegg CCXR

If you’ve never heard of Koenigsegg (and since there are only 9 of the company’s cars in the United States and just this one CCXR you’ll be forgiven if you haven’t) it is the brainchild of Christian von Koenigsegg, a Swede who set out to build his vision of the perfect car in 1994 and was fortunate enough to have the means to do so. His first effort hit the road in 2000 and for a time was the fastest car in the world. The CCXR could one day retake that title, along with another. If you have $1.2 million to spare you can travel at 250 mph in this "Batmobile". Click on the pic for the full story.

AT&T May Have Swayed Idol Outcome to Favor Kris Allen

The New York Times is reporting that American Idol's Kris Allen may have had a little help from AT&T, one of the Fox show's biggest corporate sponsors, in winning this year.According to the Times, AT&T provided phones for free text-messaging services at two Allen parties in Arkansas on the night of the finals. Citing sources, The Times reports that AT&T reps showed party-goers how to "power text" -- cast 10 votes at the touch of a button -- which violates show rules.

The reigning national spelling champion is a 14-year-old boy whose spontaneous jokes kept everyone laughing a year ago. His parents moved to the United States from central India, and he wants to be a neurosurgeon when he grows up. Last year's runner-up — and one of this year's favorites at the Scripps National Spelling Bee — is an all-business 13-year-old Indian-American boy from Michigan. He also has set his sights on neurosurgery.

One Day Away From Loggers Opening Day

Fans got a sneak peek at the 2009 edition of the La Crosse Loggers on Tuesday evening at The Lumber Yard as the Lumbermen played host to the Swedish National Team in a special pre-season exhibition affair.
Team Sweden came out on top 7-5 in front of 1,213 fans one night after knocking off the Brainerd Area Lakes Lunkers 3-2 up in Brainerd.
The Swedes jumped out to a 7-0 lead off of Loggers starter, and pitching coach Justin Ramsey. La Crosse would make it a tight game late with a big five-run eighth inning.
Tony Mueller (Winona State) led the Logger offense with four hits on the night from his lead-off position and Ramsey would go the distance on the mound.
The Loggers open their 2009 regular season on Thursday at Copeland Park when they host the Thunder Bay Border Cats at 7:05 p.m. Click on the logo for more on the Loggers

Who is the Ultimate Idol?

Ok, so Kris Allen was named the American Idol last week, receiving more votes than Adam Lambert. Britain's Got Talent has the "Crooning Cat Lady" who has taken the web by storm. Now you cast your vote for who is better. I have been talking about how much I thought Susan Boyle looked like Julia Childs. It was hard to find a younger photo of Julia, but I still say they look like sistas. Click on the pic to vote.

Could Adam Lambert Become Queen's New Front Man?

If you thought Adam Lambert looked like a natural fit with iconic rockers Queen during American Idol's finale, you weren't the only one. Hours after it was announced that Lambert was Season 8's runner-up last week, widespread speculation began circulating that the 26-year-old singer had been offered a job as Queen's new front man. While that's not true yet, guitarist Brian May isn't ruling out the possibility. It's a no brainer for Adam and for the band, to ignite the great classics and the spirit of Freddie, as well as creating some new great theatrics and rock opera's.

The Brew Crew pulled another one out last night against the Astros and have a 2 game lead over the Cardinals who swept the Cubs who are 4 games back. Trevor Hoffman, the long time reliever from the San Diego Padres has been perfect in the closing role since coming off the DL. He has saved 11 of 11 and has not given up an earned run this season. With San Diego Padres ace Jake Peavy turning down the White Sox yesterday for a deal, could Hoffman and Peavy reunite with a hot Brew Crew?

YouTube Flooded With Porn Clips

The teenaged pranksters of 4chan.org's /b/ discussion board flooded YouTube with pornographic clips Wednesday and Thursday, according to various reports.
YouTube has strong filters and dedicated employees seeking out and deleting porn from the site, but it wasn't enough to handle the onslaught of uploading clips. To get around the filters, many of the clips appeared innocuous for the first 20-30 seconds, the tech blog Ars Technica reported, but then cut abruptly to hardcore sex scenes. Participants on 4chan's /b/ board and the similar eBaum's World site had declared Wednesday to be "Porn Day." I guess I have no problem with declaring porn day, epecially on Hump Day, but it may be a little shocking for some, when they are watching their favorite Food Network star cooking a meal with an inapropriate tossed salad.

Johnson has words of warning for Danica

The Indianapolis 500 is Sunday and we know this because we’ve been treated to a month of questions to Danica Patrick about when she’s going to give NASCAR a try. Jimmie Johnson has heard the questions and Patrick’s open-ended answers about the possibility of a jump. As NASCAR’s Sprint Cup champion three years running, Johnson’s advice to a potential opponent is pretty simple.
"Come on over, although not until you’re ready. And, trust me, you’re not ready." I understand Jimmie's take on this, because it kinda degrades what they do by her simply walking into a roll with a Sprint Cup team and she isn't even a consistant winner in her own sport. But damn, she's naughty! Click on the pic for the full story.

What is the A-Team up to now?

No show better encapsulates '80s action adventure TV than "The A-Team." The series, which first aired in 1983 and ran for five seasons, starred a commando fighting force out of Vietnam, "sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit." The men promptly escaped and survived in Los Angeles as underground heroes for hire, able to construct weapons from spare parts and sidestep any real physical harm amid a barrage of cartoon-like violence. Check out what they look like now and what they are doing by clicking on the pic.

America Wrong Again

You heard me predict the upset yesterday when I said that Allen would pick up the Gokey vote to go along with the little girl vote. It's not like they both won't have HUGE careers. I still can't believe that they had over 100 million votes for the finale in 4 hours? Kris has talent, but I think that it was pretty obvious who had more. Oh' well don't mind me, I wanted Allison Iraheta to win anyway. By the way, doesn't Kris Allen kinda look like a younger Bob Costas? Full story on the pic.

Idol Bikini Girl Still Fighting With DioGuardi

Katrina "Bikini Girl" Darrell and judge Kara DioGuardi clearly didn't start their relationship off on the right foot as the 21-year-old sex symbol told DioGuardi off during her audition in Phoenix, Arizona. Even though the two put on a surprise performance together at Wednesday's Idol finale, the genetically-blessed beauties are far from "friends." This is Pop Tart drama if I have ever seen it. Let's face it, Bikini Girl doesn't have a bad voice, but she's on because of the bikini which I don't mind. What I was really impressed with was just how smokin hot Kara was. Yea Baby!

Olympic Gymnist Wins Dancing

Ok, you know that I have been calling it "Dancing with no stars" this season. I have heard of Shawn Johnson the gymnist who was the winner last night. By the way, did she chunk out a little? She beat out some guy I never heard of from Sex & the City which was cancelled years ago right? She also beat out some other chick that was dumped by that other lame show called the bachelor. I never heard of her either, but I guess she used to be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. Now she will be a playmate most likely. Hef,..get on the horn! A while back some friends of mine told me about a hilarious commercial with Shawn Johnson. Think Beavis and Butthead and you'll laugh your ass off!

Lambert vs. Allen `Idol' matchup has Gokey factor

The top 2 performed last night on Idol and I did not get a chance to see it yet because of softball last night. My plan is to watch it before the final vote off show, where the winner will be decided. Some are talking about a "Gokey" factor with the vote. Where will his past supporters place their vote? Danny and Kris were kind of on the same page with the way they performed on stage. Minus the glitz and makeup that an Adam Lambert brings. We find out tonight on FOX.

Injured wrist to sideline Rickie for more than just Weeks

Rickie Weeks' super-fast hands are the reason he ascended to the big leagues in the first place, but they are also the reason he just can't seem to get his Brewers career on track.
Weeks will undergo season-ending surgery this week to repair a torn sheath that surrounds a tendon in his left wrist, an injury suffered on a first-inning strikeout on Sunday in St. Louis. The decision was made on Monday after Weeks visited with Phoenix-based specialist Dr. Don Sheridan, who has performed two previous surgeries on the former first-round Draft pick.

Idol finales from worst to first

Tonight is the night that America gets to vote for who will take the American Idol crown. Whether you are a fan of the show or not, the numbers don't lie. It is by far, week after week the biggest show on earth. I really don't think the it will be the performances at this point that will decide it.

Gruden will be in the booth with Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski when the show starts its 40th season this fall.

Reality TV, Really?

It is pretty clear that those that hate reality TV are not on the fence about their distaste. I watched the first few seasons of Survivor religiously and just loved it, but is it at all reality anymore? Last night I happened across it again on CBS and watched as a guy they called Coach, complained about having asthma and 2 slipped disc's in his back. He was told that he was going to need to head to "exile" when he spoke of these limitations and then proceeded to tell the rest of the survivors that when he goes, he plans not to eat, drink or make fire while gone. Reality TV? Really? Grandstanding has become such a fake part of all these so called reality shows that it takes it so far away from reality as it can get. Check out Coach's rant by clicking the TV.

Hells Kitchen Finale Tonight

I'm a huge fan of Hells Kitchen on FOX and tonight is the season finale. Danny and Paula square off as they split up Hells Kitchen into two restaurants that have been designed by the finalists, with their own menus. They have brought back some of the former losers from this season to work under the finalists. In my opinion this years group was the least talented they have had, although there is no doubt that Danny is the best of the worst in the kitchen. It is usually good for some laughs and uncomfortable moments. Click on the pic for more.

Let's face it, neither Danny or Kris is better than Adam Lambert, but if those same little girls call in droves again after the finale, I can smell an upset.
