Stephen Strasburg is a no-doubt star, so far, but it has been one place that has driven all the coverage, MLB Network, the people most responsible for Strasburg's national emergence and their first network-made star.

Diego Forlán is a 31-year-old striker on the Uruguayan National Team who scored two goals in his team's match against the host South Africans. Sig Hansen is a tough-as-nails no-nonsense Norwegian crab fisherman on the Deadliest Catch. They share more than just a passing resemblance.

In baseball, every day is a new opportunity to see something that has never happened before. Throwing the 20th perfect game in MLB history, Roy Halladay's perfection was also 20 days after Dallas Braden's, making this the first season in baseball HISTORY to feature two perfect games. Awesome.

Soccer To Remove That Kissing Your Sister Feeling?

luke-leia-kissRecognizing that nothing in sports is more unsatisfying than a tie the fuddy-duddy's at FIFA are considering changing the rules for the next World Cup. FIFA president Sepp Blatter said that the organization is considering removing ALL ties from World Cup games with either a shootout immediately following 90 minutes of action or a return to sudden-death overtime which they used in the 1998 and 2002 Cups.

If the change happens it would be the first time that all games, including the first round, would be subject to these rules.

FINALLY!

Hawk Harrelson Shuts Up
Written by slanch

When it comes to baseball announcers the White Sox' Hawk Harrelson is easily in the top-3 WORST broadcasters. He is completely unlistenable, an incredible homer and completely bat-shit crazy (he used to call Joe Crede the best third baseman in baseball, said Brian Anderson was the second coming of Mickey Mantle.) Normally when he's broadcasting you're stuck hearing him talk CONSTANTLY but there is one thing that will shut him up, like a Jim Thome walkoff BOMB.

Ah, the sweet sound of silence. I like.

I know I've been absent. I apologize. I will most likely continue being absent today. Funeral stuff is over but now I got to get home. If I get a chance today I'll post some things later tonight. If not, we'll resume our regular broadcast-day tomorrow. Forgive me?
 
After Bailing on Ball, Now Bo is Single Too
Written by slanch

Remember Bo, the scaredy-cat fan who bailed on catching a foul ball allowing it to hit his girlfriend instead? Well, good news ladies, he's SINGLE!

Appearing on CBS' "The Early Show" the once-happy couple revealed that they are no longer together. Although Sara Saco-Vertiz told Harry Smith that the ball wasn't the only reason for their demise, "Alright. Well, I mean it's not over because of the ball. Um..." she started to say.

"More than we want to know," Smith interjected.

I'm guessing Bo's selfishness at the ballpark carried over to the bedroom too. He looks like a man who doesn't make sure his lady is fully satisfied BEFORE he gets his.

I love how Smith keeps berating Bo for not being a "man" and catching the ball. Also I appreciate that Sara recognizes that this is NOT a news story and finds it silly that she's on CBS but hey, that's American news for you. I also really enjoy how breathless Harry Smith is throughout this interview, his "where did the ball hit you" question was asked in such a way it reminded me of both a kid talking about a pedophile and an old man doing phone sex. Hmm...

So, if you're in the Houston area and are willing to take a ball, call blondie up. And if you're looking for a guy who will bail at the first sign of danger to himself, Bo is ready and waiting, sideways hat and all.

I bet his OKCupid profile is BLOWING up.

The Boys of Fall

There are few things less entertaining than country music but when it invokes the spirit of my favorite television show, Friday Night Lights, I'm powerless. So, here is Kenny Chesney's newest song, "The Boys of Fall" which features a nice cameo from New Orleans Saints head coach -- and Lee Harvey Oswald doppelganger -- Sean Payton.

I couldn't even make it through more than a minute of the song, but the intro is nice!

 
JaMarcus Tries to Get Friend Take the Rap
Written by slanch   
Friday, 13 August 2010 15:54

jamarcus-russell-court-hearingWhen the Raiders signed him as the first overall selection in the draft back in 2007, JaMarcus Russell received a guaranteed $32 million, not bad for a pathetically bad NFL QB who was over-matched from his first snap. After being unceremoniously dumped by the Raiders -- and ignored by the rest of the NFL -- Russell was arrested earlier this summer for illegal possession of prescription grape drank that contained coedine.

Now Russell is using his wealth to his advantage after a friend of his copped to the grape drank that the police found in JaMarcus' home. It seems that Marcus Stevenson told police that it was he, NOT Russell whose drank it was, even though police found it IN JAMARCUS' BEDROOM.

"He was willing to step forward and tell the truth," said Stevenson's lawyer, Greg Evans.

Unsaid by the attorney was how much Stevenson's "friend" was paying him to take the fall. I try and be a good friend and all, but this goes above and beyond.

The police testified during JaMarcus' preliminary hearing that when they executed a warrant and entered Russell's home, they found 9 people in the house, including 2 women. Russell was laying in his bed, naked, with a freshly-poured cup of purple drank, WITH ICE CUBES STILL IN IT, in a styrofoam cup, as well as a coedine bottle without a prescription in the medicine cabinet.

JaMarcus must be a really good friend to let his buddies bang chicks in his bed while he lays IN IT and leave their prescription drug drinks all over the house and in his medicine cabinet. After all, that makes sense right?

Stevenson meanwhile, who has known Russell since they were 10 insists that after he and Russell had been out partying they returned to Russell's home and Stevenson mixed the drank with no one else involved. HA! How fucking dumb do these people think the judicial system is? Hmm...

This might actually work...

What I can't figure out is why Stevenson would do this, sure, he's definitely getting some cash but really, why does it matter, is he trying to keep JaMarcus out of jail so he can play more football? Getting convicted of a crime so your buddy can MAYBE play in the USFL is 1000% NOT worth it.

The Big Pavelski Abides

During the NHL playoffs San Jose Sharks center Joe Pavelski earned the nickname "The Big Pavelski' for his hard-nosed and clutch play. To celebrate that the fine and extremely talented ladies over at my favorite Sharks-themed blog, Couch Tarts, made a special shirt honoring both Pavelski and of course, The Dude, who as we all know ALWAYS abides. I take comfort in that.

It's good knowing he's out there.

To get your own copy of this ridiculously kickass shirt, go HERE, order about a thousand. Enjoy!

Sorry gang, I suffered a death in the family and I'm probably shutting down operation for the next few days. There's a possibility I'll get some new posts up, there's also a likelihood I won't. It's just the way it is for the moment. Things should be back to normal by Monday or Tuesday of next week though.

Thanks for your understanding.

Who Said Romance is Dead?
Written by slanch   
Tuesday, 10 August 2010 16:33

I've heard it said that kids these days have no sense of chivalry anymore. Well, let this video show you that the rumors are true. This couple headed out to see the Astros play and when a foul ball came their way Bo, the boyfriend leapt to his feet to try and snatch the ball. Instead, at the last minute he bails because, as he says, the lights were in his eyes, and instead the ball hit the girlfriend in the arm.

Ever the gentleman, his first move was to grab the ball, then see how she was. Through it all, he never let go of the ball, apparently it was his, after all, he did all the hard work. You know, like "ole'ing" it and bailing so his girlfriend got hit.

Classy.

He'd better go down on her for about 2 straight weeks.

 
The Devils' Contract Plans Get Bloch'd

I want to care about the whole Ilya Kovalchuk contract dispute, the NHL says it's an illegal contract because clearly no one ever wants to spend 17 years in New Jersey, but I just don't.

I do however love the NHL's arbiter who ruled in the case, Richard Bloch.

How great is that!?

The New Jersey Devils just got Dick Bloch'd!
