Matt Anderson looked to have an amazing career ahead of him in 1997 when he was drafted first overall. And he had the arm to back it up & 100 mph fastballs to prove it. Things were looking great in 2001 when he saved 22 games for a, shall we say, not the best Detroit Team that year. .. Then like sometimes it happens to all of us. Not even doing something stupid, he was warming up, OK maybe warming up a little faster than he should have… but maybe not. In either case during that [click to contimue reading...]
If I were a major league player the following would definitely apply to me given my luck. First off, I’d be a major leaguer by the seat of my pants. I’d have one foot into Triple A Ball at all times and just by sheer luck there would be no one better around to kick me down there. Second, given the reason I just gave for being in the majors my team would not be any good (and therefore I could make the team). However, this would also mean that the All-Star Game would have to pick [click to contimue reading...]
Charlie Manuel, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies got into a real yelling match, was ejected and suspended for a game following an incident where he supposedly made contact with an umpire. OK, maybe the brim of his hat did.. and I know you have to draw the line. And I know I’m immature for loving it. But I can’t help it. Here’s a different video of this guy arguing with one, then another and then a third ump. It’s just great. Here’s this classic video of Charlie and a nice play by the catcher at the end of it.

I swear it will never end .. “Well I think Starsburg should be on the All-Star Team”.. “Well I think he shouldn’t”… Alright, calm down girls it will all work out, all that stress will just give you acne anyway … Here’s an example of the plausible debate as to why a guy who has pitched only five games deserves a seat on the All-Star Bench. … Sheesh.. I don’t get it as I’ve said many times before. But just imagine being Strasburg… holy cow that guy must get hounded night and day by these [click to contimue reading...]
Speculation as to the deal about the excitement of a Strasburb vs Heyward match-up such as in this article. You know what will happen? Strasburg will throw the ball and Heyward will try to hit it. Sometimes he will but maybe he won’t. It really won’t be that exciting, trust me. These matches of the titans are always same ole, same ole in baseball. It just is. …. People are so over the top on Strasburg I can’t believe it. Don’t get me wrong, he’s obviously great but come on. The “delicious part of Stephen Strasburg facing [click to contimue reading...]
I swore off this blog but who can resist the Lady Gaga story. Supposedly loaded, wearing bra and panties.. I like this statement in the article “..In a drunken stupor, she then talked her way in the Yankee clubhouse…” Right, a beautiful, drunken multimillionaire has to talk her way into the clubhouse….Yeah… I’m sure she said something convincing such as “Hi”.. .. ok,ok we’ll let you into the clubhouse, you talked us into it… anyway here’s the source article, the kind of stuff that I hate but it has a good pic of her bra so [click to contimue reading...]
You heard me right, a Strasburg Card on Ebay for $16,000 (check the Ebay Auction out here). As of 8:44 EST it stands at $16,101 (the press says $17,000 so they don’t know what they’re talking about as usual, the USA Today Article is here). For $16,000 how many days in cubicle hell is that? Too many that’s how many. But hopefully you noticed they included free shipping, great guy that seller… With my luck the postal service envelope would arrive all bent and folded over or something. And the question of the day is [click to contimue reading...]
After a rough weekend I start Monday Morning reading this piece in the Washington Post about Stephen Strasburg. ..My God, it was like reading from one of those romance novels (I’m guessing). I barely.. and literally mean barely, made it down the first page. Like some kind of torture game I wanted to see if I could take it and almost bailed on the first page although after page one I did bail on the article and started writing this garbarge. If you’re tough enough give it a shot but fair warning here’s some of what [click to contimue reading...]
You can almost hear his little words “Don’t tase me bro”. Yes an obnoxious “fan” desperate for attention runs onto the playing field and appears to be having a good old time until he’s taken down. Question: would this have happened to that woman who years ago used to run on the field topless? .. (there probably would have been a riot if she were so quickly interrupted). So that’s it. No news here you can move along. Just some nit-wit who wanted to waste everyone’s time doing something boring (until he got tased). Story [click to contimue reading...]
Of all the ways to loose a game this has to be one of the worse. The Nationals fight it out until the 10th, then load the bases and walk in the final run. You know it must have been hard to be a Nationals fan. There you have your paid subscription to MLB.com, staying up, game goes to the 10th and then this happens. It’s kind of sad really and almost hard to make fun of. I don’t know, let’s see how the stats look, maybe this is an aberration (although I know it [click to contimue reading...]
