Watching David Huff give away a 4 run lead makes me want to vomit.

That is all.

Pretty Girl 08.08.10 - Larissa Riquelme

I would have posted this sooner, but, honestly, it's tough to find pictures of this chick with any clothes on.

Catching the Red Line

Red Sox make it official and add Carlos Delgado to the fold.  Mike Lowell is sad.  Don't expect much from Delgado until September.  If then.

Brian Bixler barely had to time to blow the steam off of his coffee in Indy before the Pirates shipped him off to the Nats.  Maybe he'll end the year with Balitmore.

Predictions on a Cliff Lee free agent deal are in the 4-yr, $88mil range.

Apparently Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are LeFraud fans and might just build their own juggernaut next year at USN.

Is it just me or is Manny Acta one heck of a third base coach and one piss poor major league manager?  Case in point?  If you bring Carmona out to start the 8th, shouldn't there be someone throwing behind him?

3 hits for Jordan Brown, including a ringing RBI double.  Maybe he wakes up now.

The Tribe has claimed Drew Sutton off waivers from the Reds and assigned him to Columbus.  Yeah, that'll solve everything.

Who is J.P. Arencibia?

I wonder what the MLB record for most sub-.200 hitters in an August starting lineup is?

Can Jayson Nix catch a pop-up above his waist?  I mean, is he physically able?

Tiger shot +7 to close out Firestone +18.  Welcome to the friggin' twilight zone.

All of the Browns quarterbacks played like day old doodie during the Brown and White Scrimmage.  Shocking.

Really, could the Indians sign a catcher with the last name Goodluck?

That's enough.  My pinky hurts.

Pretty Girl 08.07.10 - Piper Perabo

Covert Affairs, Tuesdays @ 10 on USA.  They should pay me.  With Piper.  P.S.  She's an Athens girl.

Whistle Stops

Wahoo!  What a win!  Although Chris Perez did not take advantage of the worst replay gaff in MLB history, Matt LaPorta tied on his cape and that ball's not coming back.  Too bad victories are nearly meaningless at this point or I would be a bit more excited.

OSU product and 21st overall pick Alex Wimmers agreed to terms with the Twins with $1.33mil bonus.  He's headed for Fort Myers.

Bryce Harper has enrolled in classes at Southern Nevada.

Tiger Woods +13(!) at Firestone, a tournament he has won 7 times.

The Buckeyes are #2 in the preseason poll, behind only Alabama.



Lastly, the Tribe inked 11th round pick Michael Goodnight.  And good luck.

Tribe lookin sexy.  Jeanmar lookin strong.  Several key ground balls to third and, by the by, Nix not bad over there.  It's easy to love a team when they play well fundamentally.  Props to Crowe on the throw, even though it hit the runner and, especially, to Matty on the swipe tag at first to end the top of the third.  He's quite adept at that play.

P.S.  A smart dude just axed if that's why one might choose to slide into first.  Food for thought.  Consider.

P.P.S.  Winning is fun.

Pretty Girl 08.06.10 - Amber Lancaster

Why couldn't I have gone to this school?

Thursday, August 5, 2010

So, I have a new least favorite MLB player.  In case, you can't guess he hit 48 bombs in '04 and was just an AL all-star.  F Adrian Beltre.  Too bad young pitchers can"t recover from control lapses very quickly.  Damn it.  Not watching the rest of the game.
Santana out for the year.  To quote a smart dude, "What's the f%^&ing point anymore?"  Too true.

We did get Wes Hodges back from the Rockies.  That evens out, right?

Sheesh.

P.S.  With Youkilis out for the year, the Red Sox are likely to sign Carlos Delgado.  Jose Guillen DFA'ed.  Adam Dunn claimed by unknown team.

Transfers

This is ridiculous.
