Scary Minor League Brawl

A huge Minor League baseball fight broke out in Dayton, Ohio last night between the Dayton Dragons and Peoria Chiefs



I located this video from a fan's vantage point in the stands. There appears to be some serious meat heads attending this minor league baseball game.



"It was a big brawl," said Ben Means, 25, a fan from New Carlisle. "I like that kind of enthusiasm. It was sweet. We're excited. It's cool." No wonder MMA is extremely popular these days.

During the game a Chiefs 2B broke his leg and a Dragons SS suffered a head injury. The brawl put a fan in the hospital. Sweet enthusiasm huh?

Chiefs starting pitcher Julio Castillo was arrested for striking the fan with a baseball and he is still in the pokey.

Another weird angle is how the game continued even though 15 players were initially booted from the contest.

Castillo, both managers as well as 15 players were thrown out of the game. But almost an hour after the brawl, which lasted about 10 minutes, all of the ejections were reversed by the Midwest League.

The reversal came after the Reds and Cubs — parent teams of the Dayton Dragons and Peoria Chiefs — indicated they didn't want pitchers playing in the outfield, which is what each team would have needed in two spots.

YES SO FAST, MY FRIENDS!!

Busted Coverage breaks loose a solid pre season prediction, online magazine style by boasting the lovely Lindsay above is the clubhouse leader in their upcoming USC Song Girl of the Year for the 2008 college football season. No argument here and I can not wait to see/perv out the other contestants.

No wonder Carson Palmer hates Columbus when cheer poon like this is roaming the USC sidelines. I understand Suckeye fan is pissed because they line the pockets of their players at the same financial rate as USC but the Trojans still trump them in the hot poon department.

Oh, I just wanted an excuse to kick off posts about college football and poon too. The first Saturday waking up to college Game Day on the tube will be like Christmas morning as a little brat. I must be having serious football junkie withdrawls if I am actually requesting an ESPN program.

Yes So Fast, My Friends!!

Nothing But Net for Barry O

The first stop on Barack Obama's overseas trip was to an American Military Base in Kuwait. The pressure was on as Barry O lined up to shoot a 3 pointer in front of a packed gym full of US troops.



Nothing but Nylon Baby! Barry is BALLIN! Can you imagine if Barry O had bricked the shot? The Cable TV pundit blowhards would have went bonkers like their silly outrage over his gutter balls earlier in the primary season.

Speaking of air balls, our dear leader GW (remember him?) had his own public hoop skills attempt at a military school in Belfast last month.



It is bad enough that 7 out of 10 Americans think you suck at your job but to get booed by Elementary kids? Ouch that hurts. If Bush ever decides to fall off the wagon and own up to that highly important beer the media told me we would have together since 1999, I will give him some pointers on his follow through.

In related Sports/Campaign news, John McCain and George Bush Sr. went looking for range balls in 41's golf cart. I hear the summer All You Can Eat buffet in Kennebunkport is dynamite. Plus, they will even let you split a plate if you ask nicely or bribe them with afternoon bingo cards.

The Best NBA Summer League Player of ALL TIME!!

I keep bitching relentlessly about how awful the TV sports offerings are right now in the summer lull. With DC temps and humidity levels hovering in the 90s, I embarked on a lazy indoor Sunday.

I witnessed a 53 year old Aussie get abused in horrible golf conditions by an Irishman, the Nats/Orioles/Yanks games, an unknown slump bust looking Canadian chick capture a tennis title, MLS soccer match in Spanish, and women's pro beach volleyball final. I am not just scraping the bottom of the sports barrel but damn near licking it.

Oh, I can not forget to mention the local DC media is now in official Redskins propaganda mode. "New coach Jim Zorn is great, everyone is feeling awesome, this is their year, blah, blah, blah." If I was a NFL beat writer, I would just to reuse the same story angles from past years because little changes from the perpetual pre season optimistic tone.

I will bet my life that some Redskins related picture makes A1 of the Washington Post on the Monday morning edition. Who cares about all of the problems of the world when we have the Skins opening up training camp, baby!! Bring on T HO, Tony Homo, Ms. Pac Man and the Cowboys!!

Anyway, my boob tube choices this Sunday evening were the insufferable ESPY's and the glorified pick up Summer League games on the NBA channel. I chose the latter and just when I thought I had seen it all in sports, this halftime event at the TWolves/Knicks contest floored me.

Knicks guard Nate Robinson, who was in street clothes, became the first player to have his jersey retired in the Las Vegas Summer League. Yes, RETIRED!! Robinson is the 2007 Summer League MVP and the only player to participate in 4 straight Las Vegas summer leagues so thus these were his credentials to have this groundbreaking honor bestowed upon him.

Robinson went to half court for the "ceremony" and some black jack dealer looking dude congratulated him. Robinson seem to care more about text messaging.

The best part is when they unveiled his jersey on the wall and they did not even pop for a banner or a glass case for the Knicks number 4 but just tacked it up on this concrete gym slab.


Even though Robinson has a career average of 10.7 points a game and 41% shooting percentage, this honor cements him in NBA history and possibly could redeem his image of just being the short guy with mad ups, who won the dunk contest after missing 22 dunks.

Of course I am joking, and when did they start retiring jerseys for games that consist of mostly D League retreads? The only analogy I could produce about Robinson's "recognition" is it's like a college hooper repeating as the NIT MVP.

I discovered more Robinson jersey pictures which illustrates the hilarity and hopefully, I can locate the video. NBA.com does not appear to pimping this accomplishment yet on its homepage.

Hacksaw QB McCowns

Miami Dolphins QB Josh McCown came down with a peculiar injury at the hands of his brother, Bucs QB Luke.

McCown needed six stitches to the index finger on his right hand a couple of weeks ago when he was injured while he and his brother, Luke, were cutting firewood.
Josh McCown told Tyler television station KETK that he was holding the firewood and his brother, a backup quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, made the mistake of cutting his finger instead of the firewood.

I suppose the Hacksaw QB McCowns could be doing worse things with their NFL down time like fighting pit bulls or blowing lines in parked cars. However, I recommend the McCown brothers find another leisure activity other than chopping firewood and follow the off season lead of fellow NFL QB Tony Romo by playing golf and banging a Hollywood "celeb."

Christmas in July: No More Billy Packer

Last night while I was watching Rangers OF Josh Hamilton puncture a baseball like a strung out junkie smacks a needle,(too low?) this awesome sports update came across the ESPN ticker: Billy Packer will not be returning to CBS as their number one college basketball announcer.

I guess not all recent news has been full of gloom as I could not endure any more March Madness with Packer lecturing me for 2 hours about random, outdated college basketball history that had no direct bearing on the game he was announcing.

The game had passed Packer by too. Plus, in the year 2008 the most prominent college basketball announcer should use email and the Internet, which are vital tools to use for research in his type of work. (Please Insert John McCain does not use any technology joke here___)

Clark Kellog will be a solid replacement and Packer appears to already have a retirement plans.

Favre Wants To Play Again

The world might really be ending soon since I am embedding a video from a Fox News program but here is Brett Favre's interview last night.

I hope Packers GM Ted Thompson/Mike McCarthy can swallow their egos and allow Favre to play for Green Bay again. After some internal debate, I am ready to roll this fall with number 4 behind center and take home the NFC North divisional title again.

Sports fans, TV talking bobble heads, scribes, and bloggers can pile on Favre all they want. He deserves most of the criticism but since none of them have a rooting interest in the Packers success on NFL game days, I give a rats ass about their opinions.

Waffle Humpers Changing the Budweiser Formula?

I leave my normal elitist NW DC society for the hills of West Virginia and I return to nothing but more bad news.

• The Packers want to make Brett Favre a back up and he responds on a Fox News show by basically calling the Packers brass liars. The situation is getting real ugly and this public strife potentially could rip apart Cheesehead nation. I will post more thoughts later on this never ending PR debacle and when did Aaron Rodgers become the next Steve Young?
  

• The Bush Administration, who pump up the fruits of the free market economy and personal financial responsibility at every opportunity, again bails out 2 corporations who willingly made horrible investment choices on bunk mortgage loans. Capitalism or Nationalism? hmmmmmmm. The layers of our self inflicted financial housing market mess continue to peel away. I predict some major banks and construction companies will be going belly up very soon. It is not a good sign for the economy when bankers are losing money.
  

• However, the story that really irks me is our number one American brewery, Aneheuser-Busch, was purchased by the Belgium conglomerate In Bev. Budweiser is going to be own by Belgium!! WTF? Where is the US patriotic media outrage when you need it?(Cue Fox News, Right Radio Pundits, Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin, etc) Do I need to produce some false In Bev terrorist links to light a fire under their blow hards asses? There is nothing more Americana than enjoying a Bud Tall Boy but now it is owned by Euros. F that. I can always count on Stephen Colbert to rip the "Waffle Humping Belgians" a new one.

Wookie West Virginia

Miss So Belle, my boy Ern Dawg and myself are about to embark on our annual pilgrimage to the Mountains of West Virginia for the All Good Music Festival.

I have elaborate plans to beat the wookies at their own game to secure prime camping spots right when the gates open on Thursday afternoon.

Currently, I am sure the wookies are in the trees plotting their run and the headies have a broken down vehicle on a WV highway somewhere.

The lineup is pretty killer and Panic is bringing the heat in the Saturday prime time spot.

Listen up Wookies, My Jedi tricks are nasty. Game On.

MGWs will resume on next Tuesday if I have any brain cells left. Word.

Lies in the Skies

I have long advocated that turning off electronic devices before taking off and landing on an airplane was completely unnecessary and absolute horse manure not based in fact.

If my Ipod can take down a plane, then the airline industry is more screwed than I thought.

I love being vindicated by a former FAA administrator and current George Mason professor in his recent book:

Donohue argues in "Terminal Chaos" that those iPods, cell phones and laptops you are ordered to turn off during takeoffs and landings actually don't interfere with airline navigation systems.

"The FAA has never been able to confirm these fears, thus private pilots routinely use their computers close to navigation equipment without any problem," he writes in a chapter entitled "Passengers Who Act Like Sheep Will Be Treated Like Sheep."

"The federal government cannot compete with the private sector for competent engineers. The government can't compete with Nextel and AT&T and Verizon and Sprint for the qualified engineers to do modern information technology," said Donohue, who advocates having the private sector play a greater role in modernizing aviation communications. "We're working with a system that is adequate for the 1950s."

Fox News Slimes Michelle Obama

It is only July and Fox News already has compiled quite an despicable list of hate smears against Michelle Obama. The woman has two Ivy League degrees and I would argue could be more intelligent than Barack but Fox calls her a baby mama. Take a look at this disgusting video.



I do not remember the so called "liberal" media or Fox News ripping apart Laura Bush in any similar fashion whatsoever. Since the GOP will be thumped in November, it is going to be a looooooooong campaign season watching Fox News completely melt down.

Jersey Girls

America's most infamous 4K hooker Ashley Dupree popped out of her mom's New Jersey mansion for a family shore outing.

Rumors are swirling of a Dupree reality dating show and my TIVO will be set to a season pass of the likely train wreck as quickly as it took former Governor Spitzer's political career to be flushed by Dupree's high priced hum pieces.

Here are more photos of the Dupree family beach stroll.

Please No More "Dog Offs!"

I hope everyone enjoyed their long holiday weekend by getting blitzed and partaking in some good grilled grub.

My 4th weekend kicked off by watching the Nathan's Coney Island hot dog contest on ESPN and the "dog off" ending almost sent me to the porcelain goddess like a knocked up female in the AM.
To me, this mustard belt contest appears to have run its course in our pop culture more so than ESPN's over televised poker/degenerate gambling tournaments.

Remind me how is this entertaining?

Last year, I was all pumped Joey Chestnut took the title back to America but this Independence Day, the whole novelty aspect of these eating contests has completely worn off and I am just sicken by the whole spectacle in gluttony. And I LOVE dogs too and usually can not attend a baseball game without downing a bratwurst layered in all the usual ballpark fixings.

I see no rationale argument how a contest of slamming 60plus hot dogs down your throat in 10 minutes should be televised on the premier all sports channel in the year 2008. I highly doubt there is a constituency demanding for it either and ESPN's infatuation with these disgusting "competitive eaters" just seems to be one big subtle grotesque joke on overweight obese America.

Maybe I am the only one that sees the hyped up coverage of this food competition as more of an embarrassment than something to be proud of on our nation's hallowed birthday.

Overall, my weekend was simple, got drunk, watched fireworks, yelled "America F yeah" at every opportunity, drank more, ate mad Maryland steamed crabs at a buddy's 2nd annual crab bake off, got drunk even more until passing out fully clothed on the couch, twice.

I literally spent my whole Sunday glued to the epic Nadal/Federer tennis match(this historic battle needs its own post) and guzzling Gatorade in the futile quest for hydration.

Basically, our founding fathers would be proud of this American.

I never thought I would ever hear the words "Dog Off" in my lifetime.

"It's All Rumor"

My legendary man crush Brett Favre is back in the news with speculation he wants to unretire and return to the Packers. I am getting called out for a response in the sports blog world and by my friends. Honestly, I have no idea what to feel at all. I spent the whole off season mourning his retirement and preparing myself for the "Mullet with a Bullet" era to begin.

It is like you spent a good chunk of time mentally getting over an ex-girlfriend after years of her threatening to leave you and then to have her jump back in your life to request another whirl. The sex was GREAT and her body was dynamite so it is tempting to hop back in the saddle.

If my choices are to watch number 4 for Packers or another team, it is a no brainer. I could never deal with him playing for another squad. Packers GM, Ted Thompson and Favre have never had a good relationship. This comeback news does put Thompson in a no win situation.

Favre can still play, he is a known commodity compared to Rodgers and this Packers team is stacked for a title run. I do not believe the "distraction" angle of this story at all either and most current Packers would love to have Favre back.

I am still as emotionally confused as the baby of the transgender man will be someday soon.

Favre most likely will stay retired but I will don the Favre jersey again in heartbeat if needed this fall.

I am an easy FudgePacker slut.

Sonics Doom

I have no personal attachment to the Seattle Supersonics other than loving to play NBA Jam with Shawn Kemp and Detlef Schremp. Also, I enjoyed watching the "Glove" aka Gary Payton play lock down d and talk trash during his Sonics career.

There is no sane reason that an American city with 3.2 million area residents and a 41 years history of fervent fan support should lose their basketball franchise to a city with 1.2 million area residents and no track record of fan attendance other than a short run where the numbers were inflated due to cheap ticket prices.

Once again the fans take one on the chin in order for greed to win out. This is the dark dirty reality of professional sports and I have not seen such a rape job since MLB's gutting of the Montreal Expos and the NFL allowed Art Modell's to snooker the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore.

I hope disgruntled Seattle fans refrain from taking their anger out on the citizens of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City. They did nothing wrong in this situation and should be genuinely elated to finally have a major sports team in their community. I was doing cartwheels when DC was rewarded a baseball team.
Side Note: (This nAAts excitement is now utter disgust as Jim Bowden is the worst GM in baseball with a horrible record and somehow still has a job because he wears kneepads while blowing the owner's son. Bowden probably is unable to get much for his fellatio performances since the Lerner family ownership is a bunch of tight asses. )

Supersonics fan scorn should be directed towards three evil greedy henchmen: Clay Bennett, Howard Schultz, and David Stern,

Bennett is a lying sack of crap as he never had any intentions of keeping the Sonics in Seattle and was plotting to move the squad before he even purchased the team. Any comments spewed by Bennett to the contrary are utter falsehoods like Scott McClellan White House press conferences.

Mr Starfuks founder, Schultz had every opportunity to shove his own enormous wealth into this team and not crush the soul of Seattle citizens. Every rationale observer knew Bennett had no desire of keeping the team in Seattle, especially with how positively Bennett's home Oklahoma City had supported the New Orleans Hornets after the Katrina disaster but somehow billionaire Schultz put the fate of the franchise into a Seattle outsider like Bennett and he was straight up duped.

No wonder Starfuks stocked has tanked and Schultz has been unable to turn things around since coming back to run the company in January. His magic touch is gone and his judgement is seriously flawed. Schultz can shove his PR recovery driven stunt lawsuit to save face up his 5 dollar latte ass.

No matter what happens, Schultz's legacy to me will not be just coffee extraordinaire but being the business man who was tricked by a slickster and cost his Seattle community their beloved basketball team.

I saved the last wicked leech for last, NBA Commish Stern. I watched this video awhile back how Stern placed all the blame on Seattle pols for not approving hundreds of millions of dollars to build the Sonics a new arena or for major upgrades of the Soncis existing Key arena. F U. To ask the tax payers to ponie up exorbitant sums of money so billionaires can make huge profits in this struggling economy is completely asinine.

Gas is 4 bucks and rising, US infrastructure is crumbling and needs 1.5 trillion dollars investment to save off disaster, health care costs are out of control, millions of Americans are losing their homes with bad loans, Wall Street and Major US Banks are still stinging from hawking shady worthless mortgage securities, American wages are stagnant, and the annual trillion dollar military industrial complex continues to suck a hole in the federal budget by providing hardly any economic benefit for our spending but a multi trillion dollar NBA enterprise needs expensive luxury boxes on the tax payers tab for one of their team's or else?

Seriously, F U David Stern and your extortionist tactics. The NBA has no plans to expand or come back to Seattle at all so stop publicly lying to look good in the media.

You cover up for your dirty cheating refs like a Catholic Cardinal and now you smugly rip the hearts out of the same fans who helped lined your pockets for 41 years by devotedly promoting your basketball product.

Some gratitude and do not try to play us real NBA fans for fools, the Seattle Supersonic are over forever.

Here is Stern gushing about Key Arena just 13 year ago.



I am sure some Seattle pols probably could use some criticism but I obviously do not follow Seattle politics closely enough. Bennett and the NBA appeared to work them over in this "settlement" of the lease. I would have made them play out the final 2 years and who cares about keeping the colors and name of a franchise that will never happen again. DC still owned the rights to Senators name and good use that was to them for 40 years.

I will pour some High Life out in your honor, Sonics fan. I might even root for the Seasquawks this season when they do not play the Pack.
word, Mac G.

Sonics reach settlement with city of Seattle

UPDATE: I would love to play poker with Seattle Mayor Nickels and I found a great post about his lack of negotiating testicles.
Here is another insightful post about the dirty disingenuous behavior of Bennett.
