Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game yesterday. It was Mother's Day. Braden's mother passed away nine years ago from cancer. She never saw him pitch in the big leagues. I love this guy's emotion at the end of this clip. Good on you Dallas Braden. Good on you.

Friday Rememberances
As the Blues Train passes through Mississippi on it's way to Chicago for National Train Day, it is important to understand the great cultural influence the train played upon the development of blues music in the Mississippi Delta as well as the conduit through which blues music spread across this country.
In celebration, I present to you Chester Arthur Burnett otherwise known as Howlin' Wolf from White Station, Mississippi.
And bonus footage of Stones interviews and Howlin' Wolf performances.

Enough with these Greasy Sumbitches!
How many hispanics are there in the NBA? One, maybe two.? It's a damn good thing the NBA season is over before "Juneteenth" day.
The Phoenix Suns will wear "Los Suns" on their jerseys in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on Wednesday night, owner Robert Sarver said, "to honor our Latino community and the diversity of our league, the state of Arizona, and our nation." The decision to wear the jerseys on the Cinco de Mayo holiday stems from a law passed by the Arizona Legislature and signed by Gov. Jan Brewer that has drawn widespread criticism from Latino organizations and civil rights groups that say it could lead to racial profiling of Hispanics. President Barack Obama has called the law "misguided."
