Weekend Ballshots



  • The Phillies achieved their 10,000th loss. Congratulations, losers.

Speaking of the Phillies, I did see a little of the Espys last night. Not that this award show matters, at all, but Devin Hester won the “Breakthru Performance” Award over Ryan Howard? What? A few kick return TDs wins over 58 HR/149 RBI/NL MVP? Man, that is gay.

  • David Beckham makes his debut this Saturday in MLS. And no one cares.

  • Dice-K’s album ‘drops’ tomorrow. It should be hot. I hope everyone pre-ordered, bc it promises to be a gigantic success, unlike his pitching career. I’d rather pick out caskets for my parents funerals than listen to this album.

  • A-Rod seems destined for Bean-Town. Scott Boras is talking $30-$35 mil/year once Rodriguez opts out of his Yankees contract this offseason. Sox fans are talking a mean game, saying they don’t want him, saying over their dead bodies will they accept him as a true Sock. Please. Please! Once he replaces E6 at SS next year, Sox fans will become more nauseating than ever. "A-Rawd rules, he is a true Red Sock!"

  • Gary Sheffield claims that Joe Torre is a racist. And that it doesn’t affect Jeter bc he is a malado. Gotta love Sheff.

  • ESPN/ABC has reached a deal to continue the charade of showing WNBA games thru 2016? When will this torture come to an end???

  • Phil Mickelson choked away a one stroke lead in the Scottish Open on the 18th hole. I guess he is just getting into patented FIGJAM form for the British Open this week.

  • “And if you don’t believe it’s true, just check out how we rock for you”. – T3.

The Boston faithful is just waiting to buy multi-colored jerseys with #13 Rodriguez on the back.

Ugh- nothing is more nauseating than the Red Sox nation. Also, did you notice ESPN was constantly saying Jays vs. The Nation during the highlights? Ugh-

I can't believe you didn't bring up the whole electing a president of RSN thing.

Anyways, I'm glad Hester beat out Howard for that ESPY, nothing better than seeing Devin try and speak off the cuff. High comedy.

good point, theny. my bad. theres so many bizarre Nation things going on, that its easy to forget stuff.

excellent work balls. i don't think that's how you spell "malado" though.

Philly Jim said...

What's this president of the Red Sox nation thing? Please fill me in on this.

DirtDawg said...

malado? you mean mulatto, dingus?

I love the Treacherous Three quote! Now you are kicking it old school!

C'mon, am I the only one that thinks Boras is high? A-Rod was like 24 when he signed his 25 mil/year contract - why would any team give a 31 year old 30 mil/year? It's not like he's head and shoulders above everyone else at this point...

Philly Jim said...

Fletch- As long as the BoSox want him, he'll get 30 million a year. Who would think they'd pay $51 million just for some mediocre Jap rockstar's phone number?

Great work BSMB, we needed some Ball shots...

Also its hilarious that Theny can't figure out how to leave a comment, so he goes as anonymous with the "-Theny" tag

With that, they got virtually guaranteed merchandising/broadcasting revenue from Asia. With A-Rod, I don't think the Logo channel broadcasting dollars are going to be all that high.

Heyo!
