First off, let me begin by addressing the Scott Cousins/Buster Posey collision. San Francisco Giants GM Brian Sabean called the hit of Posey "malicious", while also saying to KNBR of San Francisco, "If I never hear from Cousins again or he never plays another game in the big leagues, I think we'll all be happy. He chose to be a hero, in my mind, and if that's his flash of fame, that's as good as it's going to get, pal. We'll have a long memory".
Ok. So basically Brian, you're telling me that you wish Scott Cousins' career dead because of a play at the plate that ended the season for Posey. And would I be correct in assuming that you believe that a player shouldn't be so aggressive when the game is on the line? Is it fair to say that if the situation was reversed, meaning the Giants were rounding home for a play at the plate, you would prefer it your guy let up and got thrown out and game over? What? What?
Come on. Scott Cousins was within written and unwritten MLB rules. You can't punish a guy for that. Sabean, you are just mad and frustrated that your team lost it's best player and probably it's chances at the division. Hey, it's ok. These things happen in baseball. And really, I bet there is a better chance of having your second baseman injured trying to turn a 6-4-3 double play with a guy barrelling down on him and trying to slide into him with spikes up as opposed to losing your catcher to a freak accident like that. The slides at second base are a helluva lot more malicious than at home.
Let the other sports chenge their rules until they are only a fraction of what they started out as and what made them great. But leave baseball alone.
Moving on, but not from baseball, I would like to see a shorter season by a handful of games or so. This is not to extend the MLB playoffs. That would be absolutly ridonkulous. I'm talking about the damn weather. No more November baseball and no more snowed out games. There shouldn't be any games played past Halloween. There shouldn't be any March games either. This goes for the annual Red Sox/Yankees ESPN love fest that begins a few days before everyone else gets to play. Seriously, thats bullshit. And if you tune it to watch that and aren't some ass bag Yankees fan or a recent Red Sox Bandwagon jumper (you probably don't live anywhere close to Boston), then you shouldn't watch it becuase you are only doing what ESPN wants. And that would be giving them a Hot Karl while fingering your own asshole and pretending to like it.
It's just a matter of time before the Reds and Brewers take over the NL Central. And a matter of games before the Cubs are the basement dwellers. I know I predict the Cubs to win it every year, but come on. That's all in good fun but I'm beggining to think I'm jinking them... Look for the Cubs to become major sellers here soon. We are probably looking at them moving, or at least trying to move with lots of cash, Fukudome, A-Ram, Zambrano, Pena, Soriano, Dempster and possibly Wood. Sounds good to me.
Fprmer Expo and Met Gary Carter is undergoing treatment for a form of cancer that affects the brain and central nervous system. What people fail to realize is that this is only news when it happens to athletes or celebrities. Lots of people have cancer. Hell, probably half of our four reads will get it. That's fifty percent of our audience. Sorry, readers. Hope you last long enough to make it to our 5 year anniversary. There's gonna be cake. Don't you go dying on me, now.
Something something basketball game. Lebron shoe deal. Something. Shomething. Three pointer. Dirk's finger. McDonalds. Ho's in different area codes. Blah blah. Series tied. Chris Bosh? Dunk. Black folk. Random name, Rik Smits. Yada Yada Yada. 20 inch rims. Proper English, please. Four months of playoffs. New season starts next month or something. Sigh. And that's it for NBA news.
Some douche bite an opposing players finger in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. No suspension. Wow. Go Hockey. Fuck you Vancouver.
Clay Guida takes on Anthony Pettis in the main event at the Ultimate Fighter finale tomorrow night in Sin City. No, not Gays, Illinois. Las Vegas, dude. Should be a good fight assuming Guida kicks the shit out of wannabe "Showtime" Pettis.
I think there may have been some NFL news today. Maybe yesterday. You might want to look into that. But until they put some effort into working something out, then I'm not giving them any of my time. Apparently the AZ Cards are looking into The Golden God Kyle Orton.
