Instead of the story today being about the Cardinals’ loss to the Brewers last night, and the game, the story was all about the umpires.  In the game the umps threw out 1 manager, 1 coach, 1 player and 1 fan.  They also blew a call at first base but reversed themselves.  As one manager once said, “the fans pay to see the players – not the umps”.   Here’s what it looked like on mlb.com

Now here’s what we think is an example of great umpiring…more

 I’ve been, and am currently a fan of all comedy, but this guy has always been at the top of my list.  I met him at the “Comedy Den” in Grand Rapids, MI back in ’97, and he was a genuinely funny, relatable guy…even off stage.  He battled – and beat – cancer and it’s a shame that a car accident is what took his life.

Robert Schimmel was riding as a passenger in a car driven by his daughter, who he often incorporated in his standup, and is dead at the age of 60.  The following is the cleanest clip I could find on YouTube…click “More” to see it. more

Michael Jackson

The video for Michael Jackson‘s Billie Jean had a serious impact on the music industry, and MTV in particular. Its heavy airplay on the network is often credited with pushing MTV out of obscurity and into the mainstream. The video was also the first by a black artist that was featured prominently on MTV.

Billie Jean further contributed to Jackson’s timeless persona when he debuted the moonwalk while performing the song while wearing, for the first time, his now trademark single white glove.watch the video

Man Climbs San Francisco Skyscraper

A daredevil in a red jumpsuit, equipped with suction cups and an American flag, clambered up 58 stories of a San Francisco residential tower Monday to dramatize the vulnerability of skyscrapers to terrorism and his own fight against cancer.  (His publicist also acknowledged afterward an attempt to call attention to his recent book – which, he said, details his concerns in detail).

The climber, who identified himself in a flyer as Dan Goodwin, a.k.a. SpiderDan, was greeted by police as he reached a balcony two floors below the top of the 60-story Millennium Tower, but was allowed to hang his American Flag.watch the news report
