Evening Chat With the G's

Here again with everyone's favorite Ranger's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G.

Mr. G, how's it feel to see your son get the win in your home state?

He pitched horrible, but his team picked him up. Henry from down the street won't let me hear the end of it though. Who the hells gives a damn if his son is a mid-level manager in that big building with the big red key on it. But my son is still a gosh darn good major league pitcher. Excuse my language dear.

Mrs. G, who do you like in the Indy 500?

Well, this is really the one race you can't really predict because of the wide range of conditions. But the lack of practice time really gives the advantage to the veterans. The eleven rookies this year don't have a chance. My personal favorite is Helio Castroneves, so I'm going to go with him. He's won it twice already along with Dancing with the Stars. So I say Helio will be climbing the fence again on Sunday.

Mr. G, the French Open is coming up, can Federer break through?

It's hard to go against Nadal, and Federer hasn't been amazing this year. So I'm going to say no.

Mrs. G, any random basketball thoughts this week?

• Kobe should grow out his half-fro again.
• Michael Jordan's leather jacket and single loop gold earing really draws parallel to a retired bull.
• The Seattle Storm have 6 MVP awards on their team. (Sheryl Swoops 3, Lauren Jackson 2, Yolanda Griffith)
• Rudy Fernandez is going to be awesome next year for the Trail Blazers.
• The Nuggets and Mavericks really need to make a trade this summer.
• Hopefully the Mavs can bring back Diop and Finley
• This draft is going to be awesome

Mr. G, who are you picking in the UFC fight this Saturday?

B.J. Penn. He's a better striker and a better grappler, so it doesn't matter that his wrestling isn't as good because his takedown defense is enough.Iif you want to use a logical fallacy to prove it, you can say that Matt Hughes beat Sean Sherk in 5 rounds; B.J. Penn beat Matt Hughes in 2 minutes.

Mrs. G, so are you guys going to round the bases tonight?

[awkward silence]

Thanks again for your time, it's been fun. See you next time.
