Jason Giambi Flips The Bird

This video, which I share because it is newsworthy and is not meant to detract from potential MLB profits, shows Mr. Giambi on his NEXT at bat, hitting the ball equally as hard but this time elevated and just out of reach of the Oriole second baseman.

As the Yankee rounds first, you can see him with middle finger extended towards Brian Roberts.

I’m not sure what the bigger crime is in the following video: Jason Giambi flipping the bird to Brian Roberts or Jason Giambi’s rediciulous 90’s porn mustache.

William Hung Bangs at Minor League Game

If you’re like me and wonder what William Hung is up to on a daily basis, wonder no more.  Hung was spotted singing at a Schaumburg Flyers baseball game on July 27, 2008 at Alexian Field.  The song of choice - “She Bangs.”

These types of appearances were a little cute back when Hung was 21 years old.   Now that he’s closing in on 26, I just feel sad for the guy.  Who wouldn’t feel sad for a guy that will be forever linked with a Ricky Martin song?

Mets: Bye Bye Willie Randolph

In what many baseball insiders are calling a “gutless” firing by the Mets, coach Willie Randolph, along with pitching coach Rick Peterson and firstbase coach Tom Nieto were axed off early Tuesday morning. The sideshow that is the Mets organization headed by GM Omar Minaya kept true to form with this 3am firing. The Mets had more than an ample amount of opportunities to pull the plug on Willie, but the timing and the fashion that it was done in is nothing short of comical. Mets, todays big loser.

Congratulations: Griffey Goes Yard

Ken Griffey Jr joined the ranks of Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa as the newest member of the 600 home run club. The Cincinnati outfielder, with a swing as smooth as silk, took pitcher Mark Hendrickson yard in the 1st inning of today’s game. Take a bow Griffey… as you’re the first slugger in our era to “cleanly” reach the milestone.

Cuckoo For Coco Crisp: Brawl Ensues

Even Dion Warwick could have foreseen retaliation on Coco Crisp following Wednesdays ball-busting slide into 2nd base. And fittingly enough, it came in the form of a James Shields fastball to the leg. And despite what you may here in rap songs, it isn’t necessary to “Represent”, although it is highly advisable. And Coco did just that. Crisp charged Shields, did his best Muhammed Ali headbob impersonation, and then threw a pathetic punch of his own. The dugouts cleared and both players were tossed. Subsequently, we are very proud as it’s not every day that one can make a Dion Warwick, Psychic Hotline reference.

Mariners: Safeco Not Safe For Same Sex Couples

Sirbrina Guerrero, the professional mechanical bull riding cast member from this years A shot at Love with Tila Tequila isn’t allowed to play tonsil hockey with her girl at Mariners games. Boo!

Guerrero told a local Seattle affiliate that after laying a big smooch on her date, a mother behind them flagged down Mariner security. Guerrero was promptly told by staff to stop her PDA or leave the game! Why the Mariners, who have the worst record in the MLB would even entertain the idea of emptying a seat is beyond us. A little girl on girl action never hurt anybody.
