Who Knew Sailing is so Exciting
In case you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to watch some people sailing from the vantage point of the rudder while listening to a rock cover of Rocket Man than today is your lucky day!
I want someone to explain to me how these boats work.
Hamburger SV was rolling towards the UEFA Cup Finals until a piece of litter ruined their chances. As Hamburger midfielder Michael Gravgaard went to clear a ball out of his zone it, at the last moment, rolled over a piece of garbage on the field and he bobbled the ball, which subsequently went out of bounds. The ensuing corner kick by Werder Bremen’s Frank Baumann scored, winning the game 3-2.

Let’s Go Celtics!
It’s bad enough getting arrested, but having to hear that voice of what, I’m assuming was his girlfriend, is much worse.
Let’s Go CELTICS!
Fresh off winning their 17th straight game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, you could say the Milwaukee Brewers are on something of a hot streak, which is usually a good thing; for Ed Seder, the first base coach though, not so much.
While standing in the dugout, Seder ventured too close to the portable heater unit at the end of the dugout. As the team was rallying in the 8th inning against the Buccos, Brewers pitcher Jeff Suppan smelled something amiss. “Somebody’s burning!'” Sedar recalled Suppan saying. “Luckily, I wear two pairs of socks. It had just started on the second pair of socks when ‘Soup’ said he smelled something.” The something was Seder’s pants catching on fire.
“I probably would have felt it,” Sedar shrugged. “The worst part is that I was thinking earlier, ‘That’s a little dangerous.’ I guess it’s funny that it happened to me.”
Seder went back into the clubhouse, put a new pair of pants on and came out in time to see the Brewers take the lead in the 9th inning en route to another victory.

Mind if I Play Through?
From this weekend’s Quail Hollow Championship, one of Jason Dufner’s tee shots squarely landed in the lap of one very embarrassed Miranda Cooper. Rules official Tony Wallin allowed Dufner to take his next shot from a spot on the ground underneath where the 18-year-old was sitting.

I’ve Lost My Train of Thought
A few weeks ago, distraught about my utter failings so far in fantasy baseball, I wrote a piece entitled “Forget Baseball, I’m Switching to Cricket,” for my good friend Garnold’s fantasy baseball related-site, I Truly Have No Life. It looks like that was a smart decision.
These photos are from a cricket game in Panama, and I’m booking my ticket as I type this…
Everything about this video seems wrong; people lifting weights via only hooks in their body? Check. Crazy scary flexibility? Check. And then there’s more.

Evil Empire Invades the Paw Sox
This past Sunday at McCoy Stadium, home to the Pawtucket Red Sox an epic battle between good and evil was held. No, I don’t mean the game itself between the Paw Sox and Gwinnett Braves, it was the team’s first ever Star Wars Day!
On hand to throw the first pitch was Darth Vader himself, which doesn’t to me portend a good thing, but the Paw Sox went on to win a 1-0 squeaker so what do I know…

Hey kid, sure I'm not Harrison Ford, but I have seen Regarding Henry several times...

Those aren't the boys you're looking for.
The first pitch wasn't a strike, but everyone left believing that it was
That’s Manny Pacquiao landing the knockout punch against Ricky Hatton this weekend. I think it hurt a lot. Also, dude in the background, get off the phone!

In Brazil the famous Corinthians soccer club won the Paulista Championship; something they evidently take very seriously based on the level of celebrating afterwards. After receiving their gigantic trophy, several of the team’s players — including team captain William — and executives were lifted high in the air, then fireworks and sparklers were shot off. Unfortunately, it turns out that fireworks sometimes include flames and the massive amounts of paper that the team shot in the air that then draped on the raised dais and such became a massive fire hazard.
Of course, inevitably, William catches on FIRE! Luckily, the other people on the platform managed to quickly put the flames out, but this definitely takes the cake for celebrating.
