Watson In Training, Baseball Rage & Too Much Salt

This Saturday morning, it's the Walk For The Animals at Maury Field downtown. It's to benefit the Fredericksburg SPCA, a no-kill facility which relies SOLELY on donations and fund-raising events like this one. Please come on out and support us. IT WILL BE FUN! I'll be there with the Thunder crew. Watson The Wonder Dog will be making a rare public appearance(His agent was murder to deal with). Braden Smith will be there. In fact, he has volunteered to carry Watson in the event Watson can't handle the 2-mile walk. My wife, Rae, will be there. Rae is the Mona Lisa Vito of Fredericksburg. She'll probably be wearing high heels for the 2-mile walk. Registration begins at 8 A.M. the walk starts at 9. Come on out and have some fun with us and help support this great cause. We'll talk about more tomorrow morning with Fredericksburg SPCA Director Debra Joseph.

Happy Birthday today to pitcher Randy Johnson. He is 46. Golfing great Arnold Palmer is 80 today, and Madonna's ex-husband, Guy Ritchie is 41. He recently told reporters that he hates being referred to as "Madonna's ex-husband", but let's face it, calling him "that guy who used to "do it" with Madonna" really doesn't narrow it down enough.

Madness at an adult baseball game in Chicago:
Twenty-one year old Deangelo Williams has been charged with first-degree attempted murder after shooting his coach because the coach took him out of the game. Deangelo was a pitcher for the Chicago Cardinals. They were scheduled to play 2 games against a team called (ironically) the Chicago Hitmen. After the first game, the coach, Glynn Hall, took Deangelo out. Deangelo went and got a gun and shot Coach Hall four times, once in the back, once in the neck and twice in the arm. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center and released (tough guy). This is the worst case of baseball rage I've ever heard.

...........and they say Lou Pinella has a bad temper. I don't thing he ever shot anybody............................not four times anyway.

Finally, Americans are eating too much salt according to the American Journal of Health Promotion. If Americans were to cut their salt intake down to recommended levels, there would be far fewer cases of high blood pressure. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. However, they say the average American consumes approximately 1,000 milligrams MORE than that. So cut down on that salt.
The main problem there is that the margaritas don't as good.
