Car > Human.... Usually

If any of you caught what Derek called me out for in his last post...I did get hit by a car last Tuesday. Not really bumped either...like full out collision style. The worst part of it was that I wasn't even on the road. I was standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross the road and a car jumped the curb from my left and took me out, then took out a stop sign, and took off. Yeah, he didn't even have the guts to stop and face me. I would have taken him on! Not really....once I got hit I was knocked unconscious for 30 seconds and next thing I knew I woke up on the road with a bunch of people around me. Anyways, I am recovering at home now with a bunch of scrapes and bruises, 6 staples in my head, and a messed up knee. Not too shabby, considering what happened. That's my story though...hopefully I can get back on the golf course soon enough, not too mention get back on the softball diamond for summer, and living the lake life...there are just too many things I can't do with this dumb immobilizer brace on my knee!

The weird thing is, I think I came out in better shape than the car. I don't know how much damage I actually did to the car but from what I've heard the front of the car has more dents in it now than I do, but the majority of those are probably from the stop sign, not me. Even though the guy (or girl) took off, the police have a suspect so I'm hoping they catch that person soon enough.

Anyone miss Joe Mauer right now? I guess I miss him as a legend, but that is it. We sit down last year's MVP and bring up a guy who decides to come in and hit nearly .800... The farm system of the majority of the MLB teams can't be compared to the Twins. Plus, it doesn't hurt to be a little lucky sometimes.

To say the least, I was quite disappointed with The Prince's performance against the old and run down Celtics last night. The past couple of days on First Take (yes I do watch ESPN occasionally still) Skip has been talking about having this imaginary item that allows others to feel actually how hurt pro athletes are when they come public with injuries. Lebron has one of those injuries right now that I would love to know how he actually feels. If last night has any indication, he either has lost any desire to win basketball games or he is actually hurt. I really really don't care for him at all, but nevertheless I still enjoy watching good basketball and his attitude and performance during last nights game still disgusts me. I guess after last night I should just tune in to watch Steve Nash for the rest of this year because he played like a man on a mission. He had passion and fire and took over the game with an intensity that I didn't think we would see from him ever again. Too bad we aren't watching Kevin Love do that to other teams right now ;) haha. LET'S GET IT!!
