hey tony you just won the world series, tell us what are you going to do...

That's why he wears the sunglasses...
Those are the letters Baseball genius Tony LaRussa claimed came after "n" when he was stopped at a traffic light sleeping soundly with his foot on the break, according to the Smoking Gun website. I mean, I guess it's cruel to mock him for his misfortune, but then again, I don't like him. And then again, drunk driving is something you do when you're acting like an asshole. Mr. Met's curse lives on (see John Thompson, Alex Rodrigez, Mike Hampton, Barry Larkin, etc.)


Armando Wagner
Nothing like a Countrytime Meltdown (not to be confused with a Hoedown) against the Br*ves to rattle a Metsfan's cage, eh? 5 earned runs on 4 hits and a donger to Tony Pena, who I didn't even know was still alive. Oh well, at least Billy can stop Corky Miller when he has to. Add "Countytime Lemon" to the list of approved nicknames (see below).

Can Congress please supoena Bud Selig
If it wasn't for the Bush Administration, the Seilig regime would take the cake for the most scandelous bullshiter award. One side says they want to meet the other's terms, then say they did, while the other keeps the terms hidden and says they didn't. The lies continue to spring forth from MLB, but I haven't the stomach to discuss it. If you're interested visit the New York Times and read Richard Sandomir's take. Or Deadspins take, which shit, uses some of the same lame jokes as I just did.
