The reasons he'd be going to that movie are: 1) As a married man, he's obligated. Unlike Rincon, he cannot refuse his assignment. And after the movie they'll go to Lucia's and discuss their relationship over a nice Pinot Noir. 2) Maybe the RBBH is not a pop culture sheep and has no urge to see the movie. The review/blog thing is a smokescreen. The reality is the Proprietor has a mancrush on Mr. Big. In any case, the review/blog angle is either rationalizing or a smokescreen. I’m not buying it.

The man was considering going to the Sex and the City movie just to write a review of it on this blog.

If that’s not sick, I don’t know what is.

Teeball actually. A kid I played with once took about 20 minutes to NOT strike out. Truly, players do get plenty of chances and attitude doesn't matter as long as you weren't in the Mitchell report, like Jay Gibbons: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3437067 Yep.
