For those of you playing catch up here is a brief rundown of some MLB deals this offseason and how they may impact their respective teams in the 2010 Season……..
There are three ways to become a hit on YouTube. Do something amazing, be hilarious or hurt yourself unintentionally. The above is both hilarious and pain inflicted unintentionally.
Anytime you mascots out there are getting ready to do a sweet, trick dunk, you have to be ready to live up to the consequences of being ridiculed on the internet. I’m not entirely sure what the mascot tried to bounce off of. Is it a stability ball? If so, what an idiot.
The only people I’ve ever been able to see jump on those things successfully are the guys at the gym I used to work at who have nothing better to do than to practice standing on a ball. All others end up with a broken back.

Yes, maybe in 2005 Elton but you’re no force anymore
We’ve all fallen into these holes before and I’m desperately clinging to something that’s completely shitty. My NBA fantasy team blows and it’s just a fact of life that I’m gonna have to deal with. Funny thing is that I think I have the all world 2005 fantasy team. Let me explain.
I have guys like Kevin Garnett, Shawn Marion, Andre Kirilenko, Elton Brand, and Allen Iverson. I mean are you kidding me? And let me explain something about fantasy hoops.
It’s as if you always think you’re in the game. I’m sitting in last place thinking, “these guys will come out of it.” And then I try to think of any potential trades I can do and I know it just won’t get done in my league because I”m dealing with a bunch of humps who won’t pull the trigger.
But can I blame them? Not really. I’m sitting in last and not many of my players can help their teams. This is one of those seasons that you kind of just want to forget about. I know I want to put it in the past. God dammit I’m pissed.
Top three spots 3 years in a row. Then I take a 2 year layoff to come back and be in last place? Serves me right for not following the NBA and understanding that this new crop of kids have some skills.
I officially suck.
March Madness is on CBS like Monday Night Football is on ABC.
Oh yeah, MNF left network TV for cable giant, ESPN. It looks like March Madness might be looking to do the same.
Throughout the San Diego-Dallas NFL telecast Sunday, CBS ran promos of great moments in NCAA men’s basketball tournament history to remind viewers of the network’s historic 28-year connection to March Madness.
That link, one of the longest continuous ties between a network and a property, could be severed after this year’s tournament, if the NCAA exercises its right to opt out of its mammoth 11-year, $6 billion deal with CBS eight years in, as has been hinted in recent printed reports.
I find the fact that CBS was trying to remind viewers of the connection between CBS and March Madness hysterical. They’re acting like a parent getting ready for a divorce, but reminding their kid who the favorite parent is. But in reality, the kid is going to love whoever gives the best Christmas. So long as folks with mundane office jobs, living vicariously through their March Madness office pool, have a place to watch the games, all will be well.
All this really means is that the March Madness field MIGHT expand if they switch to cable. Funny that college basketball has 64 teams in their playoff and is considering expansion when the closest thing we have to a playoff in college football is sub-division one football.

Because in the context of baseball and steroids, you’re guilty until proven innocent:
After Mets shortstop Jose Reyes injured his right leg last May, his season deteriorated into a series of physical setbacks. As the frustrations mounted about the injury — first diagnosed as calf tendinitis and then as a torn hamstring tendon — Reyes’s agent, Peter Greenberg, approached the Mets with a proposal.
Greenberg urged the Mets to agree to send Reyes to Toronto to receive platelet-rich plasma therapy — a procedure that does not violate baseball’s performance-enhancing drug policies — from Dr. Anthony Galea, according to several people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Galea, who has also treated prominent athletes like Tiger Woods, the sprinter Donovan Bailey and the swimmer Dara Torres, is under investigation by the authorities in the United States and Canada who are seeking to determine if he distributed performance-enhancing drugs. Galea has acknowledged providing human growth hormone to clients over 40, and says he uses it, but he has denied providing professional athletes with banned substances.
Well I don’t know about you, but that’s more than enough information for me. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Jose Reyes used steroids. Is it really that hard to believe? I mean, everyone in baseball did roids, and you’re naive if you think that players linked to PED-supplying doctors are an exception. This is stronger evidence than the Mitchell Report. In fact, just short of seeing a needle sticking out of Reyes’ ass, this is definitive proof that Jose Reyes is a steroid user.
It sucks for Reyes and the Mets that whatever “treatment” Galea provided didn’t work, but I suppose that’s just karma for being a dirty cheater. No Ingles my ass; Reyes is as guilty as Bonds.

It’s becoming awfully dangerous for me to get into domestic disputes with their women:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry is “battling for his life” after falling out of the back of a pickup truck Wednesday during what police described as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.
Henry was found in the road about eight miles north of downtown Charlotte “apparently suffering life-threatening injuries,” according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Police spokesman Robert Fey said officers were stationed near the 26-year-old Henry’s hospital room. He had no information on Henry’s condition, but said he was alive.
Police said a dispute began at a home just before noon and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup truck as his fiancee—whom they did not identify by name — was driving away from the residence.
Nobody does crazy better than women, and I’m a little fearful that the whole Tiger fiasco has given a lot of women the green light to start physically confronting their misbehaving men. Gone are the days of crying over a pint of chocolate ice cream – we’ve entered a new age in which women will smash the fuck out of your face and vehicle with golf clubs and drive at high speeds while you’re in the back of a pickup truck. They’re sick and tired of taking a back seat to other women and the time of retribution is nigh.
This trend is only going to pick up steam, and before you know it, half the athletes in this country will have black eyes and missing teeth. I don’t like it one bit.
In all seriousness, here’s to hoping Chris makes a speedy recovery.
Alright folks. If you aren’t a fan of Ron Artest then you just kind of have to be. Honestly I’m not really sure what to make of this letter. It sounds like Artest is clearly a fan of Woods and he tries to understand what Woods is going through.
And there’s also one thing that’s abundantly clear. Artest LOVES Jesus. I would to if he pointed me in the direction of that asshole fan who poured beer on me.
But without further interruption may I present Artest’s letter to Tiger….
