Bring Back the Mullet

June 5, 2009 by

When you think of the best mullet ever rocked in the MLB do you think of anyone else before Randy Johnson comes to my mind? His mullet during his younger years will go down in history as one of the best ever by a professional athlete. Turns out Randy Johnson has also made history in another way after winning his 300th Major League game yesterday. Johnson led the Giants to a 5-1 victory after pitching six innings and only allowing

Randy Johnson one earned run against the Washington Nationals. “The Big Unit” broke on the scene in 1988 and over his 21 year career he has won five Cy Young awards, made 10 All-Star appearances, pitched a perfect game, pitched a no-hitter and won a World Series while garnering a World Series Co-MVP. I think we should all appreciate Johnson for becoming the 24th pitcher to reach 300 wins because there won’t be another athlete reaching this milestone for a LOOOONNNNNGGGG time. For all those people that think Sabathia has a chance to reach 300 please put down the crack pipe and step away.

Mr. T Sings Take Me Out To The Ball Game

May 26, 2009 by

Recently we provided video of Denise Richards trying to sing Take Me Out To The Ball Game during the seventh-inning stretch staple offered at Wrigley Field. Well, last night Mr. T had the honor or throwing out the first pitch and also getting a shot to sing the Wrigley Field classic and it was as brutal as you would imagine. I do have to admit that when Mr. T stated, “I pity the Pirates Grrr,” I was amused.

One other quick point. I know the recession has been hard on all of us, but you know it is bad when Mr. T has to drop his gold. 😉

Gary Dell’Abate Does Equal Baba Booey

May 11, 2009 by

I’m a huge Howard Stern fan and for anyone else who is we all know and love Gary “Baba Booey” Dell’Abate. The relentless shots he takes on the Howard Stern Show is constant and brutal, but he does his very best to take it in stride. That being said, one thing discussed a lot recently on the show was how nervous Gary was to throw out the first pitch at a New York Mets game. He got so worried with just a few days left he even thought about letting one of his boys throw out the pitch so he wouldn’t have to worry about screwing up. Well, in the end Baba Booey did go through with the pitch and I have to say it quite possibly is one of the very worst of all time. Check out this video of Gary Dell’Abate attempting to throw out the first pitch. Let the festivities begin this Monday on the Howard Stern Show.

Manny pulls a booner..literally

May 7, 2009 by

According  to Yahoo Sports.

A source close to Manny Ramirez said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not “an agent customarily used for performance enhancing.”

At least not on the baseball diamond. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex drive. It is not Viagra, but a substance that treats the cause rather providing a temporary boost in sexual performance, the source said.

Ramirez, the source said, acquired the substance through a prescription from a doctor in Miami for his medical condition. The source intimated that Ramirez might bring legal action against the physician.

Manny Ramirez Bombshell

May 7, 2009 by

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Manny Ramirez has tested positive for steroids and will be suspended 50 games starting today. DAMN! I have to admit I did not see this one coming in the least even after I told myself I would never be surprised about another MLB athlete getting caught. The list is getting smaller and smaller for MLB stars who never touched the stuff.
