Rib Eyes, NBA Betting & Another Loss for Adam Eaton

Nothing special tonight -- just three beautiful Rib Eyes for the Weber. The standard Friday night food is steak and chicken wings, but due to my basketball camp I did not have time to make the marinade for the wings. So they will be for dinner Monday night. I have three racks of baby back ribs for Sunday night. Two will get smoked on the grill and one will be done in the oven. My Wife will be doing the blind taste test. There will also be some grilled jumbo shrimp, as well as some lobster sandwiches on tap at some point this weekend. And don't forget that The Pit Master's Whipping Boy, Adam Eaton, is on the mound tonight against his former team the San Diego Padres. The prediction here is that Eaton's ERA will be above 6 by the end of the game. (It is currently a robust 5.98.) And does anyone doubt that NBA referee Tim Donaghy will be betting the house on the Padres? And who can blame him?!?


On a brighter sports note, NFL training camps open next week -- a sure sign that fall is right around the corner. Check out the photo of the man President Bush calls "Coach Bill" getting ready for camp. While on the subject of gambling, it is also a safe bet (chuckle-chuckle) that Donaghy has perhaps put some money down on the Pats' chances this upcoming season.



Lastly, there is just one day left to vote for your favorite Food Network personality -- it looks like Alton Brown will emerge as the winner. Next week's question will deal with the appropriate punishment for Michael Vick when, errrrrr, if he is found guilty.

Thanks for a great opening week. We shattered the 1,000 hit mark in less than five days!
