hey celebrities, stop quitting twitter

Dear famous people,
Nobody gives a rat’s ass if you quit Twitter. While we’re on the subject, stop deleting your Twitter and then changing your mind and creating a new one. That’s stupid. Assuming anyone cares about you enough to follow you twice, it’s still an extra step that you shouldn’t force your fans to take. [...]

baseball nightmares

From the Ewww! files
* The New York Daily News is reporting that workers at an Arizona cryonics lab abused and mistreated Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams’ frozen severed head by playing baseball with it. OMFG. Oh-Em-Eff-G! Who works at that horror show of a lab? Serial killers? Excuse me while I go vomit [...]

boozed out phenoms (and other musings)

If you can’t believe a boozed out bisexual internet phenom, who can you believe?
* Depending on who you believe, Tila Tequila was either choked out and unlawfully restrained by “boyfriend,” Shawne Merriman – or – respectfully detained by an “acquaintance” only interested in keeping her from driving while intoxicated. More on this tawdry tale… Shawne Merriman’s lawyer: LB [...]

i know what this blog needs… more j.j. redick! (and other musings)

I’m 5′4″ and I could probably guard J.J. Redick
* In an article in today’s WaPo, Washington Redskins star, DeAngelo Hall brags about shutting down J.J. Redick back in their AAU days about 10 years ago. Hilariously, he seems to think this was a great accomplishment. I hate to break it to him, but an egg salad sandwich [...]

farewell, julio

Ok, I’m not gonna lie. I always cringed a little bit when balls were hit in Julio Lugo’s direction. On some days, perhaps after a beer or two, I even cursed his name and shook my fist at the television. My mom and I often lamented about what a shitty shortstop he was. She liked [...]

nba musings: ka-booooom!

NBA Finals Game 2
Lakers v. Magic 101-96/OT

Kaboom. That is the sound of the Orlando Magic’s balloon of hope deflating.
