Movie night and bad sports news...


Travis and I had our movie night last night and chose Salt. The movie was at 4 so we missed the first few minutes due to arriving late at the bar for our normal liquid cocaine and white mule.

The movie overall was pretty good. It did a very good job of keeping me entertained and guessing what was going to happen next. The plot line was unique and things had to develop quite a bit before I could on.

My problems with it were the little things that go unanswered like the director is thinking, eehhh the audience isn't paying attention so jump! An example, she is hiding out in a taxi after busting out of a building followed by pursuers, no shoes, no purse just a phone. Next cut she is on the street looking at her destination. How did she pay for the taxi ride? Little things like that show that its just a movie and the writers, directors and producers don't care. Haha, really not a big deal but... Next was leaving it open for a sequel. Just doesn't seem like the story line was built up enough for me to enjoy a 2nd one. I mean it wasn't a Borne movie.


After leaving the movie I had to check if rumors had come to light. Unfortunately they had! The Braves acquired Derek Lee from the Cubs. He will replace Troy Glaus at first while Glaus goes on the DL . Glaus will more than likely rehab in the minors then come back to the Braves at his original position, 3rd base.

This puts them in a very good position after losing Chipper. They are going to very hard to catch and extremely hard to beat in the post-season.

Interesting tidbit. The Braves start a series with the Cubs on Friday. That should be interesting!

Hope the Phils have their dancing shoes on cause this is going to be quite a show.
