Mike Blowers Knows When You Will Die And How It Will Happen

Mike Blowers gave a prediction during a pregame show for Sunday's Mariners-Blue Jays game that some would describe as "prescient", others as "clairvoyent", and still others as "dead-freaking-on".

Blowers not only called that Mariners call-up Matt Tuiasosopo would homer, but also correctly guessed the pitch count and where the homer would land. Quick, do the lottery numbers next!

uncanny and maybe a little strange, but did he forecast the fact it would receive any pub. Why does what he says matter in the overall statements of a baseball season nice article tho

That is as awesome as Rachel Maddow is awful…..she is really, REALLY awful by the way.  She’s really Keith Olberman dressed in drag.

True story…

Last Thanksgiving, I had my sister and her family up from Tennessee. They are all rabid Titan fans. My problem was the Titans playing a game on Thanksgving.. I had to figure out how to do dinner without screwing up the game.

So, I called the only person i know who knows more football than I do… my bookie, Abdullah. I asked him when I should serve dinner.

He said "Game starts at one… should be 28-0 (Tennessee was playing Detroit, I believe) a little before halftime… shoot for 2:15 or so."

2:15 comes, and the score is 28-0. The meal is consumed, and the men are back on the couch for the second half.

Abdullah is small-time, too… this isn’t like the SNL skit where Sinatra calls Don Shula and has the Dolphins fumble a kickoff. It was simply prescient, as the author here says.

I have never questioned Abdullah since.

He got something right, but as a commentator he sucks.
