Convalescing over the All Star Break

After feeling like shit for a few days I headed into the hospital last Tuesday and found out I had pneumonia. However, all was not lost. I got out of the hospital around 11:30 and headed home with some anti-biotics and some narcotic cough syrup. Which was put to good use during the 10th-15th Innings of the All-Star game. Jesus Christ, I've never watched a 15 inning game and been more bored. I'm sure Fox was pleased with forcing the people of America watching third string All Stars play for 2.5 hours. Most of whom your average American has never heard of. Probably my biggest peeve with the game was the whining the announcers were doing for Francona and Hurdle because they didn't have enough pitchers, or they just can't use Kazmir or Webb since they pitched Sunday. Well, if they can't pitch why the fuck are they there? I can't hit a curveball, and I'm not an All Star. Here's a mind boggling idea: You have the 5-7 of the best starting pitchers in the game. Guys who are used to pitching 6+ innings a game. So, I don't know, use them for more than 6 fucking outs. If baseball games were 43 innings, Roy Halladay would pitch an average of 42.2 innings per start. But in the All Star game he threw 9 pitches. NINE FUCKING PITCHES. Either play to win, or play it like the exhibition game it is. Fuck.


Is it just me, or does Bud Selig look like Stephen Hawking?


SHOCKING NEWS! KERRY WOOD GOES ON THE DL!!!!!!!!!!!
Who has a blister that lasts for 10+ days? I wonder what kind of field medicine he'll work this time. It was probably a can of Old Style this time, not Orange Crush sine he's 31 now, not 20.

The guy who 'invented' the save died. I can 'invent' baseball stats too. I present to you:
The SnF (Suck and Fuck). One SnF shall be recorded every time a big, slow slugger grounds into a DP immediately after a bigger, slower slugger walks. Paul Konerko shall be the lifetime leader in the SnF.

Tampa gets swept in a 4 game series by Cleveland. Cleveland? 38-53 Cleveland? Are dark clouds gathering for the Rays?...Probably not, they're back to 2 games up over Boston after being down 0.5 games at the break.

As I type this, the Lions have kicked 6 field goals over the Chiefs after 8. Er, I mean the Tigers and Royals.

I can't figure out if Corey Hart looks like someone I know, or just the stereotypical caveman.

MLB should change its rules and allow the Cardinals' Jason LaRue to take the field with a sign that reads: 'Free Mustache Rides'

'Not just for the ladies'

The Rangers' pitching staff just held the White Sox to 1 run. Where's that cough syrup?....
