But tonight, I added a new twist, a new entry, and a surprisingly close dilemma to any list I may find myself with in the future.<\/p>\n<p>All women named &#8220;Danica&#8221; are now on my list.<\/p>\n<p>It started obviously and innocently enough with superhot IndyCar driver <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danicaracing.com\">Danica Patrick<\/a>. Then a random thought popped into my head about Winnie Cooper from <em>The Wonder Years<\/em>, of course played by actress <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danicamckellar.com\/\">Danica McKellar<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>What I discovered next surprised me.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nWhile recent trips down memory lane reminded me that Winnie Cooper is hot as ever, I forgot just how hot she really is. I had all but marked her off as an above averagely cute &#8220;teenage Hollywood crush&#8221;. I was amazed at what I found, and have to admit that she gives the &#8220;Danica of the Moment&#8221; (who, if 32 drivers aren&#8217;t careful, just might win the Indy 500 in a few weeks) quite the run for her money:<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/haveyoumettony.com\/pictures\/danicas.gif\" alt=\"Danica Sandwich\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And to think that Kevin almost threw it all away for Becky Slater (Danica&#8217;s real-life sister, btw), and that while she was wandering the halls of my newsroom today, Danica Part II still hasn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/haveyoumettony.com\/thelist.shtml\">met Tony.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*****<br \/>\nJust as I was starting to get over-the-top frustrated with EA Sports&#8217; MVP 2005 baseball game for PS2, with their constant fellating of all things Bostonian, and the way I can drop 6-run decisions to the Mariners, yet take two out of three from the Yankees, and the &#8220;Dropkick Murphys&#8221; song that plays in the music rotation of the game, which, while catchy, gets a little too much Red Sox stuck in the back of its throat to make me care about it just <strong>happens<\/strong> to come on at the start of a 3-game home series against Boston, I go out and shut the Sox down. The first game was a pitching gem, with Joaquin Benoit scattering 4 hits through nine innings, and getting to Tim Wakefield&#8217;s almost-unfair knuckler for the game&#8217;s only two runs. Game two saw a few more bloop hits by the Sox, but a few runs in the eighth put away a 5-0 Rangers win.  The series wrapped up with a gem from Ryan Drese. He gave up four hits in the first 3 or 4 innings, including a solo HR for Boston&#8217;s only run of the series, then shut them down from there. Down 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth, a Julio Franco (I usually keep my video game teams pretty much &#8220;out of the box&#8221;, or at least updated to current rosters, but if you think I wasn&#8217;t bringing my boy onto my squad, you&#8217;re nuts.) homer to right tied it at 1, then with one out and men on first and second, a 7-2-6 fielder&#8217;s choice off the wall by Richard Hidalgo scored the winning run. I would have been really pissed if I forgot to get the guy from first to second and the forceout would have cost me a win, but since it didn&#8217;t, I had to laugh.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, if I could remember everything else as well as I remember a three-game series on a video game, my life would probably be alot better off. <\/p>\n<p>Who asked you, anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every self-respecting relationship has a &#8220;Top 5&#8221; list.
