In honor of millionaire champion Ken Jennings let's play a quick round of Jeopardy as we wait for next week's road trip diary column from The Commish. Alex, they're all yours
Let's begin with "Pop Songs" for $100
Annie Lennox hit from 1992 and Shane Spencer's downfall
What is "Walking On Broken Glass"?
"Deadline Trades" for $200
This oft-injured, never quite reached his potential pitcher will be traded even though his team is closer to the wildcard than the team likely to acquire him. Also, what you might get if you cross Santa Claus and Robert Guillaume.
Who is Kris Benson?
OK, I'll try "Busted Cuban Pitcher Puns" for $300
Jose Contreras might use this cigarette holding aid if he smoked marijuana
What is a Rene Arocha clip?
I'd like "Contract Renegotiations" for $400
What Wily Mo Pena's gonna want next season if he continues his offensive surge as Ken Griffey's replacement.
What is Wily Mo Money?
Alex, let me see, give me "Exposed Relocations" for $500
Of Washington DC, Norfolk, Puerto Rico, Portland, or Monterrey Mexico, the place where the Expos will play their home games next season.
What is Montreal once Peter Angelos catches wind of this plan?
and now let's move on to Double Jeopardy, where the scores can really add up
"Rhymes With My Lady" for $200 please
Alex Rodriguez last Saturday after he was hit by Bronson Arroyo and a 1990 movie starring Traci Lords, Ricki Lake and Johnny Depp.
What is "crybaby"
Hmm, how's about "Desert Deserters" for $400
A large method of measurement, or "6 foot 10 with a mullet"
Who or what is The Big Unit?
"Flushing The Bullpen" for $600
It's a Daily Double! How much do you want to wager on "Flushing The Bullpen"?
I'd like to bet it all Alex!
These two washed-up old Mets left-handed relievers should receive a bullet in the head and then be rolled into a shallow grave alongside the tracks for the 7-train in Flushing Meadows a la Joe Pesci's demise at the end of the movie "Goodfellas".
Who are Mike Stanton and John Franco?
I'll go with "Miami Vices" for $800
This Miami player's return would mean more to the city than a blister free Josh Beckett, a Shaquille O'Neal triple-double debut or Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas on DVD.
Who is Ricky Williams?
How about we try "Infectious Diseases" for $1000
This disease, currently making it's home in the walls of Jason Giambi's duodenum represents the best chance for a keeping the Yankees from World Series victory since Luis Gonzalez and Josh Beckett became common curses in the South Bronx.
What is entamoeba histolytica?
and there's the buzzer which means it's now time for Final Jeopardy. Please write down the amount you're willing to wager on this Final Jeopardy category; "Riding The Democratic Pine"
Name two bench players whose first names would make up this year's Democratic Presidential ticket.
Who are Kerry Robinson and Edwards Guzman?
Hope you all enjoyed a quick round of America's favorite game show! We'll be back next week with Part One of this year's "Road Trip Diary"
'til next week
