Poor King George

If you are going to have to sit through an hour of NBC's Tom Hammond sucking up to multi-millionaires who have enough money to waste on million dollar hobbies, you might as well see one of them get egg on their face. Giacomo, which I believe is the name of one of Tino Martinez's sons, won the Kentucky Derby this weekend, and wow was it boring.

Giacomo was a 50-1 shot to win the race, and who could bet on odds like that. 50-1 odds is akin to being down 0-3 in a seven game series to the self-proclaimed greatest team ever. Who could overcome those steep odds?

CNN/SI has all the enjoyable details on the Red Sox's, oh sorry I mean Giacomo big victory.
