Personally I think that turtleneck is what makes him an a$$hole.

The Not-So-Perfect Game

By now, many of you have heard about Detroit Tigers’ pitcher, Armando Galarraga’s perfect game that was ruined by a bad call on the final out of the game when umpire Jim Joyce called Cleveland’s, Jason Donald safe at first when he was clearly out. Galarraga managed to get the next batter out for the one-hitter.

Joyce apologized after seeing the replay, as he most certainly went into the first stages of suicide as he paced back and forth in the umpires locker room.

“I just cost that kid a perfect game” Joyce said in an interview.

But is this really Jim Joyce’s fault? Shouldn’t he have the opportunity to check the replay in such a crucial moment of the game?

Not according to Major League Baseball.

MLB rules state that only in the event of a questionable home run can a play be reviewed. But isn’t an out as important as a home run? Isn’t getting the right call more important than an extra 2 minutes of the fans time?

Shut up Joe West.

I’m starting to think that MLB is worse for our kids than any other sport. I mean look at what they’re teaching.

1. Cheat but don’t get caught.

2. Stick to your guns when you’re wrong.

3. Kansas City is a good place to run a business.

Ridiculous!

Hopefully Bud Selig, who has probably been in bed since right after his 4pm early bird dinner at Denny’s, will wake up in the morning to this news and find a way to make it right. Give the kid his perfect game, and lets get back on track.

Are You From Minnesota and Wearing A Yankees Hat?

Good!

Because your beloved 26 year old, three time batting champ, Joe Mauer is going to be.  It has been reported that the Twins are offering him 20 mil a year, and he is holding out for  A-Rod money, somewhere in the range of 25.  He is absolutely worth it, just probably not to the Twins who would have to dedicate a fourth of their payroll to the catcher.

In every other sport, you had better bleed you team’s colors, but baseball, I say feel free to jump ship.  I grew up loving the Indians and Manny Ramirez, and have felt no shame for taking my loyalty to whatever team could pay him.   Go ahead, root for the Brewers.  Prince Fielder is gone-zo after this season, and Ryan Braun will follow when his contract is up, just like Mark Teixeira and the Rangers.  Enjoy Hanley Ramirez while you can, and then go buy a Red Sox hat once he gets traded back to them for prospects.

It isn’t bad for the teams, they can always be rebuilt, it sucks for the fans that have to sit through rebuilding periods, while two Cy Young award winning pitchers that came up through their system pitch against each other in the world series.   My advice, join a fantasy baseball league, build your own team, and root for your players and whatever teams they are on.

The 2009 MLB winter meetings have been probably the most active big name deals in years. Pitching is at the top of everyone’s Christmas lists, and teams are giving up bats to get the arms they want. Let’s look at some trades and “almost done deals” as of Monday afternoon:

Done deal:

Curtis Granderson moves from Detroit to NY to takeover center field for the Yankees who lost Ian Kennedy and Phil Coke.

Grady Siezmore Semi Nude Photos

Grady Sizemore broke up with his girlfriend Brittany Binger, so she leaked some gay semi-naked pictures he had text messaged her.  He unfortunately can not fight back because she was already in Playboy.

It’s a little embarrassing, but this story is as weak as Sizemore’s throwing arm.  She didn’t get ghetto and mess up his car, F his friend and/or dad, or get pregnant, this was actually pretty classy and tame.  She should have at least leaked them to a homo website, not the Dirty.

I realize we have female and homosexual readers [we thank you for taking time away from sucking at tennis to read this] so if you would like to see the pictures you can find them here,  I prefer this picture of Shakira’s butt.  That thing makes me want to give her a back massage and kiss her forehead.  It just….It just makes me want to clean my dishes in the sink, and pick my underwear up off the bathroom floor.

Tribe Looks to Continue Losing Tradition

Yahoo Sports reports that the Cleveland Indians, and GM superstar, Mark Shapiro, have interviewed Manny Acta for the open managerial role. Manny Acta, in case you don’t regularly follow losers, is the guy who got fired by the Washington Nationals back in July.

I guess Mark Shapiro ran out of Cy Young winners and All-Stars to give away, now he’s looking to add flaws to the clubhouse.

By the way here’s the new team plane that Shapiro scored recently.
