Message to Mr. Steinbrenner: STFU

By | June 17, 2008 | Baseball | 6 Comments

The Yankees‘ loss of their ace, Chien-Ming Wang, for up to 10 weeks prompted the team co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner to chastise the National League for playing without a designated hitter. “My only message is simple,” Steinbrenner said in Tampa, Fla. “The National League needs to join the 21st century. They need to grow up and join the 21st century.” Steinbrenner said he was angry and added: “I’ve got my pitchers running the bases, and one of them gets hurt. He’s going to be out. I don’t like that, and it’s about time they address it. That was a rule from the 1800s.” Making a rare appearance on the bases at an N.L. park in Houston on Sunday, Wang pulled up rounding third and hobbled home on a Derek Jeter single.

Yes, by all means let’s change the rules because one egomaniacal executive is having a hissy-fit because his pitcher was hurt doing what baseball players are supposed to be doing. Dumbass.

Now Marcus Vick has been Arrested for One of Everything

By | June 13, 2008 | Football | 1 Comment

Earlier today Ron Mexico’s little brother and fellow criminal, Marcus Vick, was charged with driving under the influence and eluding arrest.

Now Vick (who was calling him New Mexico?) has racked up arrests for gun charges, sex with a minor, reckless driving, possession (marijuana), giving alcohol to minors, driving with a suspended license, brandishing a firearm (at McDonald’s), eluding an officer, and now DUI.

I’m thinking that all he needs is an arrest for loitering, one for telecommunications fraud and one for mopery and he will win by being the first person to fill his entire card in prison bingo.

Pssst. (I’ve got free stuff)

Why Can’t I Get Behind the Falcons?

By | June 8, 2008 | Football | 1 Comment

I am a strong believer in ROOT ROOT ROOT for the HOME TEAM.

I’m a die-hard Colts fan to be sure, but when I lived in Tampa I was a Buc’s fan (you don’t think Sarah would’ve talked to me if I wasnt’ do ya?). I went to a game or two (was it two?). I watched them on TV. I knew who was on the team. I was conversant in Tampa Bay Buccaneer news.

But the Falcons? Meh. The Michael Vick thing was fun (in a perverse way) to watch the madness but the team itself? I just can’t get into them. I don’t know why.

It’s not because they suck (they do). Because I’ve been a fan of teams that suck with no qualm – Colts used to suck HARD, Buc’s have sucked. Real fans don’t love a team because they are winners, they love a team because they LOVE them.

I specifically WANTED to live in a town with an NFL team.

Sigh.

What IS IT about the Falcons that just annoys me? Because they’re NFC?

Or is it because I’m offended to the core of my being because they relegated a woman to the Milk and Cookies section of their blog? Seriously, is there not one woman in this town capable of talking sports they could hire to write ANY of the actual sports related posts?

Sigh AGAIN.

Falcons, I need some romance from you. You better bring it.

Noah Herron: Crime Fighter

When someone tried to break into Green Bay Packers RB Noah Herron’s house he wasn’t taking that shit lying down.

Nope. He whacked the burglar in the head with his bed post.

What did we learn today? Don’t break into Noah Herron’s house unless you enjoy a good bludgeoning.
