Waterworks Wednesday: Mashup

Unable to post over the past week or so, I began my day by brainstorming what to highlight on this Waterworks Wednesday.
I thought perhaps I would dissect the Oklahoma City Thunder falling victim to the Spurs' undefeated streak. Going into the series I thought for sure Durant & Co. could contend and shake things up. Now, I am not so sure.
Next, I thought my Waterworks Wednesday post could focus on the NBA Draft Lottery tonight (especially if the bleak Bobcats don't secure the number one pick).
Then, I had a fantastical (that's a word, right?) mis-encounter at my work today proving that in no way, shape or form do I possess any ounce of smoothness. Working as an HR Manager at a grocery store less than ten minutes from the ESPN headquarters, I have heard of token ESPN personalities gracing our aisles every once in a while. Today was my chance to chat it up with the man of ESPN... an athletically dressed Stuart Scott held the door for me! Unconvinced it was him... then convinced it really was... I was too indecisive to say anything. Booo to me.
But my true Waterworks came when I realized that I somehow missed the major announcement that Michelle Beadle is leaving ESPN for NBC! Sadly, I knew this day would come; her sassiness and sense of humor would ultimately lead her to bigger and better things, but still disappointing.


SportsNation will never be the same.

Be sure to catch Beads' last SportsNation on Friday!

Flashback Friday: May 18, 2004

Justin Verlander nearly threw his third career no-hitter tonight. With two outs left in the ninth, Pittsburgh's Josh Harrison singled up the middle.

On this exact night eight years ago, a 40 year old Randy Johnson threw a perfect game against the Atlanta Braves. Watch Randy's 27 K's as he pitches the 17th perfect game in MLB history.

 

Pure Awesomeness



I couldn't resist sharing the most awesome bobblehead of the year.
I am amped for the Keith Hernandez Bobblehead Day at Citi Field on Sunday, June 17th. But a trio? With awesome mustaches? In action?

This is the grand slam of bobbleheads.
