Coaching Carousel

Blue Jays Managerial Finalists:  DeMarlo Hale (BoSox), Sandy Alomar Jr & John Farrell

And the new Athletics bench coach... drum roll please... Joel Skinner.  The Tribe has now officially missed out on the only man worth his salt to the pilot the team during the last 20 years.  Yay, Manny Acta!  Boo-Rah!  We're sooooooooo lucky to have him to lead our up and coming team that was worse this year than last.  Gotta go!  Happy dance time!

What A Buncha Flags

A couple of great quotes on the NFL's new policy of suspension for helmet-to-helmet contact or what I like to call "the pussification of football."

Bears LB Brian Urlacher -

"It's freaking football. There are going to be big hits. I don't understand how they can do this after one weekend of hitting. And I can't understand how they can suspend us for it. I think it's a bunch of bull.
"You know what we should do? We should just put flags on everybody. Let's make it the NFFL - the National Flag Football League. It's unbelievable."

 Redskins DE Phillip Daniels - "There has been a warning sticker on the back of every helmet since pee wee league. When u put that helmet on you know you will hit or be hit. We still choose to play. Parents are asked to sign forms for their kids to play because of the dangers of the sport. Nothing is different." 

 Maybe EA can just design Madden so that each NFL player can control his own avatar and the new 18 game season could be played out on PS3.  Then no one would get hurt.  Sheesh.

All Texas, No Teixeira

CJ Wilson and CC Sabathia square off in about an hour, in what will hopefully be the last Yankees game of the season.  Mark Teixiera will not be in uniform.  In fact, Big Teix's season is over, thanks to a strained right hamstring (wuss).  The Yankees removed the slugging first baseman from their roster today, replacing him with some scrub infielder (Eduardo Nunez?).  The roster move dictates that even if the Bombers advance to the series, Mark Teixeira will not be eligible.  Still, the Yankees being the bleepin' Yankees, the replacement at first is Lance Berkman.  By that I mean .296 career hitter, 327 homers, & a .954 OPS.  Yeah, right.  No unfair advantage or anything.  I hope to be toasting their demise in about 4.5.  Cheers.

Classy As Always, New York

3-1 Rangers.  Teixeira's hurt.  28 my keister.  Maybe Girardi should concentrate more on choosing the right starter and less on changing his uniform number or selling Chalupas.  Maybe it doesn't matter and the cruel joke of Yankee dominance has come to an end.  One more Texas, one more.  F#<&.  THE.  YANKEES!

Wait, you want blonder?  You want perkier?  Got it.
