-justin!-

mn twins 1st baseman justin morneau won the home run derby tonight. it was fun to watch. he was completely outshined by josh hamilton though. hamilton hit 28 in the 1st round. 28 in one round! a new record, holy crap i says. justin hit a total of 22 homers in 3 rounds and still got the win. see the story here if that doesnt make sense to ya. im not going to take the time to explain it.

i came home after watching the derby and checked kare11.com to see what local media had to say about it. i went form excitement over a twin winning a home run contest (kinda seems oxymoron-ish doesnt it?) to just pure disgust for humanity after reading this story. a group of guys sexually harrass a twelve year old girl in the valleyfair parking lot...her dad does what every dad should do and confronts them. they call their friends and a total of 7 guys beat the snot out of the dad. it wasnt enough to knock him down, they have to kick him in the head on top of all of it. enough where he may have bleeding in his brain. people are seriously sick. sometimes it just boggles my mind that there are people like these people out there. unbelievable. i should never read the news at bedtime.

woo hoo for justin morneau though.
