Pretty Girl 10.20.10 - Leslie Bibb

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

Fair Warning

That's what the NFL concedes that it needs to provide players with before handing down suspensions for helmet-to-helmet hits.  Even so, the league has levied some hefty fines for a few infractions over the weekend.  Brandon Meriweather owes $50k, James Harrison $75k for his attacks on Josh Cribbs and Mohammad Massaquai and, in what I think is a real wrist slapper, Dunta Robinson $50k for the following missile-shot that concussed DeSean Jackson.

Not 4:20?

So, the NLCS game in Frisco has a scheduled first pitch at 4:19 EST this afternoon.  First off, I did not know this until mere minutes ago and, thus, I assume none of you did either.  Also, I'm sure this is your first destination for all things awesome and, thereby, you would have completely missed the game without this PSA.  Lastly, I find it odd to start a game at 4:19 and not a minute later.  After all, the Grateful Dead had their origins on Haight-Ashbury in San Fran.  They know about these things.

And don't forget the the Phils pitching coach is Rich Dubee.  ;-j

Whistle Stops

The NBA has banned these shoes!  They increase vertical leap!  Buy them here!  Wait, there's so much traffic that you can't actually get on the site right now.  Gives you time to save the 300 bills.

Elin's getting $110mil from Tiger.  Most think she could have bled more if she wanted to be a bitch about it.  Good form ex-Mrs. Woods.  At least someone out there understands that $100mil+ is enough.

Add Cord Phelps' name to the list of potential Opening Day third basemen for the Indians.  He's diggin' the Arizona Fall League to take reps at the hot corner.

The Bravos released Melky Cabrera.  All of you who can't pronounce "milk" proeperly, look at his name as the counter example.

I'd tell you that Milton Bradley has said that he's over his tiff with Wedgie from the good ol' days on the lake, but I refuse to give Eric Wedge any more space here.

WFNY - "I think we all knew that Lee was good, but can anybody have imagined that he would turn into Sandy Koufax? That’s what he is folks. He is the best left-handed pitcher in the game and it’s not even close."

Cavs and Browns notes to come.


Cheers.

No, I won't do it.  Puns are the lowest form of wit.  I just felt like a perky blond.  She sings and dances UK style.

The First Pitcher In History To Strike Out 10 or More in 3 Different Games in a Single Postseason

'Nuff Said.

Santos Had Better Renew His Passport, Eh?

The word on the street is that the Indians' own Sandy Alomar Jr, of mid-90's glory and current first base coaching, is one of a handful of finalists for the Blue Jays' managerial vacancy.  Sandy has a 3rd interview scheduled for this week and is described as "a very strong candidate" for the position.  I would hate to see Junior go, but wish him all the best.  Also, it would further my insidious plan to fire Manny Acta after the 2011 season and bring John Farrell on to manage the Tribe to a bunch of championships.

Bored Now

Looking... Looking... Nothing.

James Harrison is all about "hurting," but not "injuring" opposing players.

DeSean Jackson has a severe concussion and accompanying memory loss.  Not his 1st either.

Junior Seau got arrested for domestic assault and then drove his car off of a cliff.

The Phillies smacked around Frisco's 'pen and tied the NLCS at 1.

The BcS rankings have Oklahoma and Orgeon playing for the championship with no regard for Boise or TCU.

Of the top 500 all-time seasons of HR/9, only two occurred outside of the dead ball era.  In 1944 Dodgers righty Rube Melton surrendered just 1 tater in 187.1 innings.  That equals a HR/9 of .048.  Reds righty Ewell Balckwell was even better two years later, tossing 194 innings and giving up just 1 round tripper.  To put that in better context, Josh Johnson led MLB in 2010 with a HR/9 of .343.  That's 7 times Blackwell's number.  The last MLB pitcher to post a qualifying HR/9 of less than 0.1 was Dave Righetti in the strike shortened '81 season.  He gave up one homer in 105 IP, a .085 HR/9.

You're welcome.  Cheers.
