MLB Considers Euthanizing Canseco
World Cup of Softball Update
Tuesday, July 18, 2006
The Women's World Cup of Softball kicked off last week and treated us to some real stunning action. The US team, led by Cat Osterman romped to an 11 – 0 victooooooooooooooooooooo, wow, I'm sorry; I actually fell asleep while writing that.
I'm sure the leading cause of alcoholism in Ohio is being a fan of any Cleveland sports franchise. Aside from the fact that it's Cleveland, it seems like there's just one disappointment after another. The Browns and Barons notwithstanding, the latest episode to have Clevelanders readying the Cyanide capsules between their teeth, centers on Bron-Bron. LeBron, who unlike Dwayne Wade, who seems eager to spend the rest of his career in Miami, James seemed to make it pretty clear this past week that he's probably going to be suiting up as a Brooklyn Net at some point in the future. James took less money to sign a three year contract extension and if the Cavs don't win a Championship, which I don't see happening, LeBron is probably going to make Jay-Z a very happy man, but not the way Beyoncé does...If I lived in Cleveland, I'd move to Chicago or Memphis; somewhere with some decent teams. I mean, c'mon, Cleveland doesn't even have an MLS team, like mighty FC Dallas or ever popular Red Bull New York!
Cowboys Safety Keith Davis seems to have really bad luck with guns; or maybe he’s just a drive-by shooting magnet. He was previously shot while waiting outside of a Dallas area strip club while waiting for a “friend.” Davis, fourth on the team in tackles last season, was shot coming home from a family vacation while driving through Texas at 5, a.m. Sunday morning. Why he couldn't wait until, ya'know, the sun was up is beyond me; but Davis was able to continue driving after being shot in the back of the head (don’t worry, it didn’t get the white meat) and hip before deciding to pull over and let him passenger drive him to a hospital. The name of his passenger has yet to be released, so we cannot confirm if Cinnabuns was with him at the time of the shooting; Davis has since been released.
Someone I’m surprised isn’t shot at more often is Bud Selig, who treated baseball fans to thrilling 3 – 2 American League victory over the National League in beautiful downtown Pittsburgh. After completely botching the All Star Game a few years ago…in his hometown Stadium no less, being less effective on the steroid issue than Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean, and depending on what crackpots you talk to sweeping Roger Clemens’ steroid suspension under the rug; it’s a wonder the man has a job at all. Every time NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman tries to throw his hat into the ring as Worst Sports Commissioner, Selig is there to wrestle the title away from him.
Incidentally, wrestling would be a nice component added to soccer, rather than having guys falling down acting like Jay Hernandez from Hostel every time a mosquito buzzed by. That’s why it was nice to see French Captain Zizou drop Italian Marco Materazzi with a Glasgow Handshake.
Random Observations:
Do you think each member of Italy's team gets to keep the trophy for a day like the Stanley Cup? More importantly, which member of the Italian team will try to sell the trophy to settle his gambling debts?
Kyle Busch won on Sunday at some NASCAR race in Loudon. Wait a minute; there are rednecks in New Hampshire?
Hey Bengals, do you really need to replace the guy on your team who was suspended for violating the League's Substance Abuse Program with a guy kicked off his college team for drug use…?
Funniest moment of the ESPY’s? When the shows producers decided to introduce Big Ben at the end of the show expecting a standing ovation and got crickets instead.
Next Week:
The Reds trade Ken Griffey Jr., Bronson Arroyo and Adam Dunn to the Nationals for some of Livan Hernandez's toenail clippings, Pedro Astacio and a signed Jim Bowden mug shot.
Training camps are opening up soon…the TMQB has a purpose again…I feel so alive!
Barbaro makes a starving boy in West Virginia very happy…
