Musical Interlude:
Super NSFW lyrics, so put in your headphones or just watch it when you get home. Or you could always be like me and just not have a job.

Design Your Way: A collection of clever, well mostly, condom ads. Real Simple: 15 minutes to better posture. Yeah I’m linking that. You heathens have, I’m assuming, terrible posture. The Toy Zone: 10 awesome photographs that are actually paintings. But, they look so lifelike. Real Simple: Yeah, I’m linking the same site twice, but if I don’t I’ll forget. A list of 17 recommended books for you to read this summer. Some of y’all are able to read right? Princess Complex: Whitney Cummnings, yeah that’s her name, has a new blog. In this post she talks about the newfangled vagina bedazzling. There’s even a picture of a completed one. I don’t know, I think I’d get up and leave. I think. At the very least, there’d be no callback. Huffington Post: A nice eulogy for today’s tragic and untimely death of the 4 year old Twitter. Marca: This came out yesterday, but some of you are even more behind the times than I am. Anyways, this is the absolutely, without a doubt coolest calendar for the World Cup.
The Morning After Pill is a daily recap of the previous days events from the sporting world. Certain teams and entire sports are left out due to an extreme lack of caring or crippling hangovers. It’s probably the hangovers though, and they might not even be crippling. That’s how we roll. Send tips to tips@ thegallyblog.com
NHL: Oh, would you look at that. The NBA went full retard and scheduled two days in between games, so Gary went and did the same. I know the NHL would have been up against Strasmus and the NBA finals, but come on Gary. Come on.
Official Gally Blog NHL Story Picture
MLB: The apocalypse slowly keeps chugging along to fruition. The clearest sign is the Mets, with what I like to call the Metspocalypse. Every time I do one of these recaps, it seems they’ve won another game. Last night they won in 11 innings as Ike Davis hit the game winning HR to get a 2-1 victory over the Padres. It was their ninth straight home victory. Carlos Pena who’s been on a slump was the hero in Toronto last night. He had 2 HR’s and 5 RBI’s in leading the Rays to a 9-0 shellacking of the Blue Jays. In the debut of Steven Strasburg or as the Internet called it, Strasmus, the Nationals prevailed by a score of 5-2 over the Pirates. Strasburg was dominant, pitching 7 innings and getting 14K’s amongst other things. He’s also the first pitcher ever to get 14 K’s in under 96 pitches. He did it in 94, of which 65 were strikes. I’ve only seen highlights, but he seemed almost unhittable.
NBA: Well, the Lakers did it again last night. They beat the Celtics 91-84, taking a 2-1 lead in their series. Boston came out of the gate strong but then the Lakers went on a 25-5 run to show them what’s what. Then in the third quarter the Lakers really sucked as they only had 15 points. In the 4th quarter the Celtics had cut a 17 point deficit to 1 point, before Derek Fisher took over. He lead the team with some clutch shooting and continued to shut down Ray Allen. Ray was 0-13 shooting last night, mostly being guarded by Fisher. Kobe had 29 points to lead the way for the Lakers whilst KG had 25 for the Celtics.
All Time Favorite Picture. I sadly have no idea where it's from.
Last Call is kind of like Blogkakke, only on PCP, LSD and ludes. Fucking ludes man. Instead of just being a random link dump, it’s a place to congregate with fellow like minded sports fans, alcoholics and amateur comedians. So come on in, kick your shoes off and crack a beer; then regale us with a witty joke, bitch about that local sports team or ask gally the best way to craft pop culture songs into Insomnia medleys. If you have something you’d like to see here, our contact info is over on the right and there’s always the tip line, tips @ thegallyblog.com
If you didn’t see the earlier post, check it out. There’s some changes coming to The Gally Blog. Just remember, this is no reflection on you. We both love you very, very much.
Musical Interlude:
Linkage: Uproxx: It’s time to fix the Oil Leak. But how? Never fear, Danger Guerrero presents some enticing options. What’s Allen Watching: Alan Interviews Matt Nix, the creator of Burn Notice, about his new show The Good Guys. If you don’t like that show, I don’t think we can be friends. MSN Lifestyle: The top 10 look good naked foods. Yes it was designed with women in mind. Yes it’s got a stupid name. Yes its all very true information, and you could shed some weight eating tasty yet healthy foods. (more…)
Howdy y’all. Just checking in here to fill you in on some stuff that’s going on right now. Life’s pretty busy right now, I know it’s that way for everyone, but without having a major sponsor or serious page views yet I can no longer afford to work, put in 25-30 hours a week here as well as time at other sites and then school. There’s also the fact that the NHL will be soon over and it’s months until the NFL starts up. So what does this mean? Well, we’re changing formats for the summer.
Oh, there will still be the random dick jokery and sports related shenanigans going on here, but there will be some other stuff going on as well. We were in the process of rolling out sister sites, in the vein of Uproxx or Gawker, that covered other areas such as Music, TV/Movies, Video Games, Technology as well as a Foodie/Boozie site. Those projects will be rolled into the current Gally Blog fold in order to increase our posting as well as build some support for the new sites until the time that they can be spun off.
So starting tomorrow, all your usual favorite features will be here, but you’ll find some new stuff that you may grow to love and some that you might hate, which we’ll probably get rid of. I hope you continue to stick with us during this transitional time period and keep telling your friends about us. TTFN
P.S. This new venture means that we have a swath of openings in the writer department as well as a few others. If you’re interested in that kind of thing, email me here

Wall Street Journal: Bad news for us Internet folks. All this continuous multi-tasking and Internetting is making us lose focus and becoming dumber. Black Sports Online: Reggie Wayne’s mistress surrenders to the police. The obvious question is would you?

Tonight at 7PM EST, the MLB holds its player draft. Yeah that’s right. The Washington Nationals are going to select phenom Bryce Harper(above) with the first overall selection. The baseball season is only about 1/3 over and yet, MLB is holding their player draft. The NHL holds its draft in the offseason. Same with the NBA. NFL? Yep, them too. MLS even. If Nascar had a draft, it would be in the offseason. Hell, even the PGA holds its draft, Q School, in their offseason. So MLB has to go and buck the intelligent trend and hold their draft during their season. Smart move Bud.
I’m sure the thing is on TV somewhere, but you couldn’t pay me enough to watch it. Well, unless you backed a truckload of hookers, blow and Firefly Vodka up to my door and called that payment. Here are some things that I would rather watch than the blockbuster that is the MLB draft.
Bill Maher’s colonoscopy.
Grass growing.
Paint drying.
Painting grass and watching it dry as it grows.
Drew Magary in a swimsuit competition.
Buzz Bissinger making out with Will Leitch.

Oprah Winfrey having a threesome with Rush Limbaugh and Rosie O’Donnel.
A 24 hour loop of nut shots.
Jon Gruden masterbating to Brett Favre.

A marathon of the Twillight movies mixed in with the entire Sex and The City series, with movies.
Vaginal surgery.

Blake Lively and my ex girlfriend in a lesbian tryst. Actually, I could really go for that one.
Go hard and add some to the comment section.
I’m having major computer issues here this morning. Combining that with what appears to be server issues and we have the ingredients for a rough day. I hope to have things fixed by this afternoon, but Last Call will go on unaffected tonight. TTFN

So my luck may be turning around. I’m up for a fantastic job that I really, really want. That means there might be a little less of me around here, so if you or anyone you know is looking to do some writing on a vast array of topics, get a hold of me. On a side note, I know there’s a bunch of glitches with the site right now. I updated our theme and some stuff got wonky. If you find any trouble spots, let me know.
