Impressive, I guess, but it’s not like he diagnosed himself with lupus.
Tim Stauffer, the San Diego Padres right-hander, is 2-1 this season as a spot starter.
Early Tuesday morning, he took a loss. His appendix.
Not only can he pitch, it turns out he can diagnose maladies, too. Stauffer had called up a medical website on his iPhone, entered his symptoms and came up with what could be appendicitis, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Stauffer then called Padres head trainer Todd Hutcheson from his hotel room and described his findings.
“He had himself diagnosed,” said Hutcheson to the newspaper. “He said, ‘I think I have appendicitis.’ ”
Later that morning, Stauffer had his appendix removed laparoscopically without complications and was placed on the disabled list.
I hope Stauffer doesn’t get cocky and start trusting the Internet for diagnosing any health problems he might have. I mean, appendicitis isn’t too tough to diagnose (abdominal pain? it’s a good guess), but you’re gonna run into trouble when you’re using the Internet to try and figure out why it burns when you pee. Good job, Stauffer, but next time see a doctor.
All that said, I would rather seek medical advice from the commenters on YouTube before I went near the Mets training staff.

Don’t you just wanna put her in your suitcase and carry her around. She is adorable. That pitch on the other hand…. jeez and crackers!

The Boston v. Cleveland Series is drawing tons of attention. Which one of those teams could beat the Magic right now the way they are playing.. Hmm probably neither. I’m not going to lie, Pheonix vs. Lakers doesn’t really blow my skirt up.

This whole sex addiction thing or whatever the fuck you want to call it is such a damn farce.
The NFL is awaiting further word regarding evaluations of Ben Roethlisberger, a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday, after the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback finished league-mandated treatment last week.
Roethlisberger completed a clinical evaluation — ordered by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell following sexual-assault allegations against the quarterback led to no charges in April — and there still could be a recommendation that he receive further treatment.
You know, if Roethlisberger needs further “treatment” before he can return to the league, he should probably just be executed. Seriously. If you can’t figure out to keep your dick in your pants – LITERALLY – and not to get all douchey and aggressive with blacked-out drunk girls, maybe you don’t deserve to breathe oxygen.
The whole “treatment” thing is a farce to begin with, so I can’t imagine anyone not “passing.” But still. This is the world we live in. I know I sound like I’m 87, but good lord, man, it’s not that tough to not be a raging douchebag rapist.

Clearly, this didn’t work, but I think it’s pretty awesome anyway. Lex Luthor is more than enough to get me fired up, but General Zod? I think I could dunk with the right words of encouragement from Zod.

If it gets a laugh out of me it’s post-worthy! Nothing better than thinking you’re sweet and life bringing you back to reality. Diving isn’t my thing…
This month’s updated MLB Power Rankings look a little something like this…….
1.) Tampa Bay Rays (22-8) – The Rays keep winning, despite some offensive struggles. Starting pitching has been great, but we’re starting to see some vulnerability.
2.) New York Yankees (21-8) – Phil Hughes has been a revelation. Same old story injuries and getting old, blah blah blah
3.) Philadelphia Phillies (18-12) – From here on out things get shaky. Phillies don’t score they won’t win. Jamie Moyer CGSO?
4.) Minnesota Twins (20-11) – Need Mauer healthy. I love the lineup, but man is that pitching unpredictable. Team has a lot of potential.
5.) San Diego Padres (19-11) – A quietly sound team, with a pesky little offense. If the young guys can continue to mature, and Jon Garland can continue to pitch out of his ass you never know.
6.) St. Louis Cardinals (19-12) – The Cards have yet to really play their best ball offensively. Back end bullpen issues, don’t effect my love for Carp and Waino.
7.) San Francisco Giants (17-12) – See above, with less pop. We were to think the Giants would score more runs this year. I guess that is still TBD. Dream matchup in NLCS Lincecum and Cain vs. Carp and Waino.
8.) Detroit Tigers (17-13) – Don’t expect this team to tear things up in the Fall. Pitching is suspect, lineup and put up numbers though. Where in the world is Rick Porcello, Verlander needs help!
9.) Toronto Blue Jays (18-14) – Another pesky lineup with some good young pitching. This team will be a pest all season. Unfortunately they play in the same division with the Yanks and Rays
10.) Texas Rangers (17-14) – With Nelson Cruz coming back soon, and Kinsler now healthy, the lineup is a dreamboat. Another year, another need for pitching…. this story is getting old.
There she is, Miss America! I’m pretty sure nothing will ever compare to Tara Conner. It just doesn’t get any more bad girl than her. We need more of that kind of stuff in this world. You know, like innocent women who turn to porn. It’s our right as Americans to exploit sexy girls who have zero career direction.
Seriously though, I don’t care. It’s just all comical to me. Even better. Did you know that a handful of contestants that compete in the Miss America competition are cheerleaders? Did you know that they give interviews too? Yippee!
Here are three you might enjoy…..
