Drafty

MLB draft is today. Some flamethrower from San Diego St is a lock to be the #1 pick. Because it's the Nattys, he's sure to FAIL....even if he can throw 163 MPH.

Warning to the Nats - These guys have been the most-hyped pitching prospects going into the draft since I've been following baseball: Andy Benes, Ben McDonald, Brien Taylor, Mark Prior, Paul Wilson, and Kris Benson. Enough said.


Addendum:
Can anyone explain why teams cannot trade draft picks in baseball? Anyone know the reasoning behind this? Thanks.

Merry Christmas From 2 People Who Have Been Bigger Failures Than You Have in 2008

Note the pad level. Very nice. We'd like to get some of those mistakes cleaned up though. It is what it is.

Merry Christmas.

Gagne - French for Fail?

Despite Eric Gagne's best efforts, the Brewers were finally able to win their 81st game of the season. I think they will probably finish over .500 this year.

Speaking of Gagne, we sat next to a guy last night who really doesn't like Gagne. I mean really doesn't like him. He booed him when he ran out from the bullpen. Booed and cursed him when he gave up the home run to Giles. Was still booing him in extra innings.

You know the type - he was wearing a Packers T shirt at the game, with a freebie Brewers hat that was clearly an all-fan giveaway sponsored by Culver's. I think he was also wearing athletic shorts, the ones made out of sweatpants material with the pockets. Oh, and he was drinking Coors Light out of a can, which he poured into a little cup so as to avoid being caught with smuggled beer. At least I assume it was smuggled - I've never found Coors Light in a can in Miller Park.

Anyway, I don't know why people boo their home players (I can't imagine that it can help anything - it's not like Gagne is trying to suck). Sweatpant short guy certainly wasn't the only booer - the crowd was absolutely raining down boos on Turnbo - err.... Gagne during that whole inning. But whatever. I think Harry Dunn said it best:

Milwaukee Fail

WTF?? This looks NOTHING like the Fonz. Holy Crap, that looks terrible. Did that blind woman from that 1980s Lionel Ritchie video sculpt this? Sorry, Fonz.

No offense National's fans...

...but your team sucks. I mean the Nationals are truly terrible.

Anytime Ron Belliard is your first baseman I can't imagine there is much to be happy about.

You stay classy Cubs' fans

While it's not unusual to hear about a post-game fight or some drunken shenanigans during a series of this nature, I think this story is a little over the top...

According to police, the West Allis man threw a beer can at a bus full of Cubs' fans, three of whom left the bus about 10:39 p.m. while it was stuck in traffic near the stadium.

The man told police the three men beat him up, knocking a tooth out, cutting his lower lip and leaving him with pain in his jaw. The West Allis man was ticketed for disorderly conduct and taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The suspects could face felony charges in the case, according to police. Milwaukee police said the 34-year-old also punched his sister in the mouth while she attempted to break up the fight.

I hope these clowns end up at the Federal pound me in the ass prison. Awwwwwwwww....somebody threw a beer can at the bus!!! OMG!!! Let's all get off the bus and kick his ass! Let's get him! We're finished but let's not stop! Where's my sister? I want to knock her out too!

Ahhh...Illinois...where arrogant & asinine idiosyncrasies are instilled at a young age...
