Is Giambi friends with Charlie Utter?

Yankee whores!by the goat... While watching the Sox pound the Yankees tonight, I had a great feeling. Not because Jon Lester hurled a complete game shutout. Sure J.D. Drew has been a fantastic pickup on my fantasy team since Papi went down (see poll at left) and don’t get me wrong it is great to see Coco back and contributing. But…

That said, what really warmed my heart was some nostalgia provided to me by, of all people, Jason Giambi. I know there has been a lot of talk about his porn stache, but ’70’s porn is not where it took my mind. During every Giambi at bat I could not figure out the nostalgic feeling I was getting.

Then it hit me.

He looks like Swearengen! I don’t have HBO, but I did rent every season of Deadwood one cold winter weekend. I lived in Deadwood for three days, lights off, surround sound on. For weeks after I couldn’t go into a bar and order a whiskey without muttering “and a whore” under my breath.

How did this show get canceled? I decided to make a list to make sure I am not crazy. This list includes all the facets of Deadwood that made it such a wonderfully entertaining program. So here it is, proof that Deadwood was the best show ever. A list of awesomeness in television if you will.

  • Drinkin’
  • Smokin’
  • Swearin’
  • Fightin’
  • Whorin’
  • Shootin’
  • Opium
  • Good vs. Evil
  • Double Crossin’
  • Redemption

Deadwood had everything on this list. Here’s what I did, and you should as well, I printed this list and had it laminated, now every time I watch a show I can run a checklist to see how it stacks up against Deadwood. As the show progresses I write down each element as it appears in the program. At the end I cross reference the list to see what is left. Try it and you’ll realize that most shows pale in comparison.

Deadwood, bring it back you HBO bastards.
