You probably couldn’t hit a baseball and get it to land on top of the outfield fence if you were given 10 million tries — OK, you might be hard-pressed to hit a baseball that far in the first place — but in the Bronx on Friday night, Boston’s Kevin Youkilis hit a game-changing triple that will be on blooper reels for years to come. I can’t explain the play in a way that will do it justice — other than the fact that Johnny Damon got owned trying to make the catch — so you’re just going to have to watch the clip to see what happened.

Don’t worry, in the spirit of equal time, I’ll post a video spoofing the Democrats when Republican supporters get around to creating a response to this one. If you have any suggested links, do share.

If there’s something I love more than thunderstorms, kettle corn and shoe shopping, it’s zombies.

Evan’s mention yesterday of “Mr. Ray’s Hair Weave” brought back a well of nostalgia for the commercial messages of my childhood. If you could pick up the D.C. stations, then you probably also were exposed to Jhoon Rhee Taekwondo, which you may remember for “Nobody bothers me,” “Nobody bothers me, either!” and “Call USA-1000.”

Fanboy Feasting No. 3

So I’m watching Battlestar Galactica on Friday, as I do many Friday. Trying to watch, listen and enjoy one of my favorite shows. Suddenly my roommate interjects “Oh my God, I hate how they use that word [frak]. It’s sounds so stupid. Why don’t they just write the script around the word?!”

This whole G4 “Attack of the Show” declaring war on Baltimore is starting to keep me up nights and impinge on my fragile state of mind. Who are these people, this Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira? What did we ever do to them? I think that a measly, cheesy Orioles video (even coupled with Billy Ripken’s ‘89 Fleer card) does not a just war make. Then again, it’s hard to reason with people whose battle cry is, “Suck it, Baltimore.”

So there’s the trailer. Now what do you think?Putting an end to months of speculation and curiosity, Apple is set to unveil the 3G iPhone on June 9 at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, according to Gizmodo.According to the Gizmodo:

We all suspected it, but now it is confirmed: someone very, very close to the 3G iPhone launch has told me [Gizmodo’s Jesus Diaz] that Apple will announce their new model at the WWDC Keynote on June 9th. The second-generation iPhone will be available worldwide right after the launch, and not at year’s end, as previously thought. The new model will also herald new sales policies in some countries.

Wired’s blog network posted that over 40 countries have iPhone deals, and in some of these markets there will be multiple carriers that supporting this hardware.With the original iPhone sold out on the Apple Store we were bound to hear news like this sooner or later.

I can’t say I’m proud of this video, and I know I’m not proud of my fellow man for behaving in such a way. My respect for humankind was knocked down a notch after attending the Preakness infield party, but I was there to do my job. So here it is.

Highlights from the 2008 Preakness infield party, and I do mean highlights. The lowlights will be coming in a later post. This was actually my first time at Preakness. What better way to remember it than by documenting it with video and stills.
