Phillies crush the Jew love. We cry. A whole bunch.

October 6th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, baseball

Back in the day, the Montreal Expos seemed to play the song Hava Nagila a ton (for those who don’t know, its a Jewish folk song with a beat easily played on the organ. Sounds good. Trust us).
So imagine our surprise hearing the Milwaukee Brewers play the song over and over again during games three [...]

Please Chicago, stop the whining now

October 4th, 2008 | Posted in baseball

Enough of your complaining, enough of your belly aching, enough shots of pained fans screaming “Why are we cursed?”.
You’re not.
The reason the Cubs are down 2-0? They’re playing horrendous baseball the same time the Dodgers are knocking the cover off the ball. That’s not a curse - that’s one team playing much better two straight [...]

There are so many bad jokes here …

September 29th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, baseball

We don’t know where to start.
Apparently on Sunday, as the Bengals were choking away game number four to the Browns, two yahoos got a great idea: Lets go steal stuff from the practice field right next door! Because, of course, the near-70,000 fans leaving the debacle early would never see a thing.
Anyhow, The Cincinnati Enquirer [...]

Todd Jones to retire, now to focus on hating Jews, Blacks, Latinos, Muslims …

September 24th, 2008 | Posted in baseball

Congrats on 16 years in the majors, Todd Jones. Congrats on 319 saves, including 235, the most in Detroit Tigers’ history.
Sadly, that’s not how we’ll remember you. This is.
In 2003, while Jones played for the Colorado Rockies, a play called Take Me Out was on Broadway, one where a baseball player came out to his [...]

The following picture is …

A) The California lesbian marriage of the woman on the left and Mrs. Red (the team calls her Rosie, but that’s just freaking stupid).
B) Taken moments before Mrs. Red eats the head of the man at the podium.
C) A bad hair day for the woman on the right.
Or none of the above. What was it? [...]

The Gillette curse: Razors = evil

September 2nd, 2008 | Posted in baseball, college football, soccer, tennis

Remember this annoying Gillette ad with Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and soccer star Thierry Henry.

Started running in late 2007, even spawned a second commercial with Derek Jeter replacing Henry (we assume one shown just in the States).
So what’s happened since the original ad? All of them have suffered some severe career change.
Tiger Woods? Sure he [...]

Manny of the Hour

July 31st, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, baseball

Fresh off the wire comes the news that the Red Sox have traded slugger Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers in a 3-way deal involving a handful of prospects heading to the Pirates and Jason Bay moving to Boston. I’m sure Boston will bemoan the loss of Manny’s endlessly entertaining antics, but, honestly, it’s not [...]

Breaking: Griffey to the White Sox, ending best relationship since …

July 31st, 2008 | Posted in baseball

Well, perhaps not that bad.
Foxsports.com reports the Reds are about to trade Ken Griffey, Jr. to the White Sox if he agrees to the deal (Griffey has ten years in the majors and five with the Reds, giving him the right to deny the trade).
As anticipated as it was to have Griffey back in his [...]

“It’s a little bittersweet,” new Angels first baseman Mark Teixeira said, “I really enjoyed my time here. I had a great year here. I love this team. I love this organization. I love this city. It’s tough to leave.”
Good lord to I love the late-season, MLB Contract Drive. We’re [...]
