Dodging Victory, Phillies Make 8 Run Comeback to Beat LA

The Dodgers took a 7 run lead into the 8th inning, and left it there.

Weak relief batting practice toss pitching by Jonathon Broxton, coupled with epicly poor defense, gave the Phillies 8 runs in the final two innings in Philadelphia last night, adding to LA’s mounting woes as they fall to 4th place and 9 games back in the NL West.

Maybe if Mrs. McCourt would stop trying to be a greedy b*tch and ruin the Dodgers financially, the Dodgers could go out and buy some help.Just sayin.

Hey Joe Torre, how much are you missing NY right now?

For The Record: Dodgers fans couldn’t care less. It’s Raiders season already.

Phillies Fan Blows Chunks…On Little Girl…On Purpose

The life of a comedic writer is never easy.  Sure we get lots of girls and money because we are funnier than everyone else, but turning mush stories into gold for the entertainment of our readers can be strenuous.  However, every once in a while a story comes along that just brightens my day by doing all the work for me.

The Philadelphia daily news included accounts of a short narrative about an off duty officer named Michael Vangelo, who took his daughter to a Phillies game at Citizen Bank Park, only to end up next to 2 foul mouth fans who began spilling beer, and spitting on them.  Vangelo notified stadium officials who began removing the unruly fans, but not before one could intentionally vomit all over Vangelo and his daughter.

“It was the most vile, disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.” Vangelo described, “He has two fingers down his throat, he lunges forward and vomits on myself and my 11-year-old.”

Of course the perpetrator was from NJ where apparently this behavior, along with punching girls and wearing Affliction clothes, is considered normal .  I just really have nothing more to add, puking on little girls on purpose pretty much does it.

Yankees Rape and Pillage Native Americans. *UPDATE*

Michalis Hatzigiannis    Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, MLB, NY Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies     Javier Vazquez

If there has ever been a team that has proven it can be raked over the coals in trades, it has been the Yankees.  In the past they would over pay with young talent in order to get good players, and then throw in extra money on top of it. Yet after watching NYY come off a championship run, other teams in the league appear intent on seeing them repeat. First it was Detroit with Curtis Granderson, and now it is Atlanta with Javier Vazquez, neither of which took the house from under the Yankees.

This move counters the addition of John Lackey by the Red Sox, who will also lose Jason Bay, and continue to stand behind their fallen hero Big Pop-up. Now the only real hope we have of seeing the Yanks dethroned is a devastating injury to CC Sabathia, and maybe the Phillies, who must now pray that Cole Hammels returns to form, while Brad Lidge returns to his car and drives it off a bridge…

***Update***

Melky Cabrera the CF traded to the Braves for Javier Vazquez, was contaminated by small pox and the bubonic plague.  The diseases are currently ravaging the Braves locker room.  A similar technique involving infected blankets was used, in early American history, in order to eradicate the natives.

Baseball Transactions Worth Noting

Cornelius Wellington III    Chicago Cubs, MLB, Philadelphia Phillies     Baseball Signings, mlb news, MLB Transactions

The Cincinnati Reds locked Scott Rolen up with an extension through 2012. The world ends that year, so signing anyone to  a longer contract would just be blowing smoke up their butt anyway.

The Phillies exercised their option on Jimmy Rollins as everyone expected. Rollins returns to his bromance with Chase Utley with higher expectations this season.

The Seattle Mariners have proven they will take anyone they can get to win the AL West this year by taking Milton Bradley off the Cubs’ hands. Vegas is already scrambling to come up with the over/under on when Milton says “F*ck Seattle” during an interview.

Random Baseball Signing of the Week:

The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to terms with INF Doug Mientkiewicz, INF Angel Berroa, RHP Luis Ayala, RHP Francisco Felix, RHP Justin Miller, RHP Juan Perez, 1B John Lindsey, OF Prentice Redman and RHP Josh Towers on minor league contracts. The chick in the picture above was not signed to a baseball contract, but would you even recognize any of these guys if I put their pictures up?
