This is always a fun game, see if you can guess what it is.

Clues:

It is something that I cannot believe happens.

It is not that someone as fat as Pablo Sandoval can actually be athletic.

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.

Done Deal:

Andy Pettite signs one year deal with NY Yankees

Done Deal:

Chone Figgins signs a 4-year deal with the Seattle Mariners

Who Is Tim Lincecum

I can’t tell the difference between Tim Linceum and the dude from “Dazed and Confused”, am I really supposed to care that Timmy got caught with weed?

They shouldn’t even publish this news.  If he can win back to back Cy’s as a stoner, maybe this hippie is onto something.

SF Giants Attempt To Raise Team ERA***Update

There has been talk in the MLB of adding another wildcard from each league, but I think it’s obvious they should just take the best 3 AL East teams.

I have watched Brad Penny sweat and wheeze his way through games all year, like he was Bill Plaschke getting up from his chair.  Now, after a trade to the NL he threw 3 more innings and let up 5 less runs than I have seen him at any time this season.

The AL East teams are on another level.  In fact it’s borderline unfair that they have to spend the entire season kicking the crap out of each other.

SF Giants Attempting to Raise Team ERA

San Francisco is known for being a trailblazing type of town, and the Giants are putting their best foot forward in being the first MLB team to actively ruin their chances at making the playoffs in the middle of a Wild Card race.

The Dodger chasing Giants are attempting to sign Brad Penny after the Red Sox essentially wrapped his body in trash bags and dumped him into the harbor last week after he went 1-6 in his last 11 starts with a 5.61 ERA. The Giants need help as 75 year-old Randy Johnson injured himself playing shuffleboard with Bob Barker at LeisureWorld earlier this month.

(p.s. if I had seen this picture while Penny was playing with the Sox, I would have prayed for a Dave Drevecky repeat.)
