The three top reasons why it’s tough to be an Orioles Fan (the worst team in the laegue, article here). Here they are: You have the worse record in professional baseball. .. Well someone has to have it I guess. But at least you use to be able to point to the Nationals and by comparison not feel so bad. But with the Strasburg Phenomenon even though they are still terrible they still can be interesting to watch (for the games that Strasburg Pitches.. if just to see if the offense can at least get [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...]
Carlos apparently lost it in the dugout yesterday and has been suspended indefinitely as described in this article. .. Huh.. Not sure but I’ll bet he’s suspended with pay. Man, just imagine if real world jobs were like that. Anyway one of the things I really, truly LOVE is the fact that sweet Lou Piniella said “That’s something that can’t be tolerated. He came in after he got the third out and he started yelling and screaming. It was embarrassing. … There’s no excuse for this, none at all, no excuse whatsoever.” .. This is [click to contimue reading...]
Edwin Jackson pitched a no-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays and most of the headlines also put in (the forth no-hitter of the season). You know sometimes you can’t win even when you do win. Sort of like taking a lady to a four star restaurant when the last three guys she dated have done the same… Yawn… just the bad luck of the draw my friend. … So, congrats to Edwin Jackson. Awesome athletic performance against your former teammates (that HAS to sweeten the deal for him). And for the rest of us remember, [click to contimue reading...]

A post at RedSoxUp on how a left field seat when the Red Sox will be in town will go for about $57.50 but when the O’s were in town a few weeks ago…
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...]
So when does tradition translate into stupidity? Look no further than major league baseball. You see “we’ve always had human beings make the calls it’s part of the tradition of this grand old game”. Right… try telling that not only to amanda Galarraga who had his perfect game stolen from him but to Jim Joyce who blew the call, has apologized and is sort of extremely hated by everyone in Detroit. Here’s the youtube video, yeah I know it’s 7 minutes long but trust me just put your ADD on hold.. watching the two outs prior [click to contimue reading...]
You’ve GOT to be kidding. Commercials are just everywhere, everywhere, EVERYWHERE (even on this blog). Now they invented something called the Major League Clutch Performer of the Month… and oh by the way.. this is presented by Pepsi. Which of course means that the folks running this “award” sold the name rights to Pepsi. Then there’s the regular commercials and during the game the this or that segment sponsored by whoever. And the athletes with swooshes all over the place (please pay me enough to quit my job and I’ll rent out my forehead so [click to contimue reading...]
