Helmet, Meet Ump

Posted on May 17, 2012 by bp

It has come to my attention that some of you haven’t seen this yet. So…. uh, there it is. Brett Lawrie got screwed on a call…. and turned into a complete idiot. Doesn’t matter how bad the call is… there’s not excuse for this jackassery. Only got a four game suspension too. Yeah, what Cole Hamels did is WAY worse. Good work, baseball.

Also, because I know you care, I can’t see the name “Lawrie”, “Lowery” or any similar variation of that name, without saying aloud “I’M MIKE LOWWWWERY!” several times.

SDSU’s ‘The Show’ Can Cross MLB Fans Off Their Bucket List

Posted on May 17, 2012 by bp

The Show. Gotta love ‘em. Everybody on the planet is making giant heads and taking them to sporting events. As noted in our first post about The Show, over a year ago, way before Sports Illustrated or ESPN’s Grantland decided to also feature them… they started this trend in college basketball, then it exploded. Since then, everybody everywhere is doing it…despite our article, followed by Grantland’s article, The Show never gets the credit they deserve. Well, they do here…always have, always will.

Dear internet, that giant Yu Darvish head is a direct result of the SDSU student section at basketball games. Madhouse on the Mesa. The Show. Anyone who says otherwise can suck it.

Snickers Needs to Hire Will Rhymes Stat!

Posted on May 17, 2012 by bp

I give you Will Rhymes, Tampa Bay Rays. Yeah, that sucks to get drilled by a fastball. But, c’mon man… it was in the forearm, and you passed out? I would venture to say that referencing one of the best Snickers commercials in history serves as partial redemption:

@TBTimes_Rays: Rhymes said he feels lucky nothing worse happened. When medical staff asked usual questions like who he was, he said “Batman”

Would you like to ride with Batman? Love it.

Nic Cage is… The Avengers

Posted on May 17, 2012 by bp

I haven’t seen The Avengers yet. I want to… just haven’t gotten around to it. Tell ya what though, if Nic Cage was every one of them, you can bet your sweet ass I’m waiting in line Thursday night for the midnight showing opening weekend.

How in the name of Zeus’s BUTT-HOLE did you get out of your cell?

I’m Pissed About Mickey Hatcher

Posted on May 16, 2012 by bp

Angels fired hitting coach Mickey Hatcher. I love Mickey Hatcher. I remember watching him play. Nobody hustled like Hatch. Nobody. Freaking hilarious too. Look at that card. One of my all-time favorites. This move by the Halos has got to be the biggest scapegoat in baseball since Steve Bartman. I’m pissed. Hatcher was the man. He sure did suck when he was the hitting coach during your last World Series win, huh Angels? He sure sucked when  “just three seasons ago, Hatcher presided over a roster that set several franchise records for hitting and fielded a lineup with nine .300 hitters while the Angels reached the ALCS.” Nine. Doing zero research on it, I bet the Padres have never had nine dudes on a roster for any two years combined in the history of the organization. Good move though, Angels. It’s Mickey Hatcher’s fault that Pujols can’t hit.

NSFW!! Loved the Barkley vs. Shaq Shirts Off Party

Posted on May 16, 2012 by bp

If you’ve watched any basketball this year on TNT, you’ve seen Shaq and Barkley yapping back and forth at each other about losing weight. A noble cause indeed. Yesterday, that shirts off party happened. I freaked out when I first saw Shaq and his abs… then I realized they were painted on… and I laughed at that… a lot. Head over to TBL for a video of it, but really, the side by side picture is all you need to see.

Is Tim Legler Just as Crazy as Metta World Peace?

Posted on May 16, 2012 by bp

Los Angeles Lakers' Metta World Peace (15) stands over Oklahoma City Thunder's James Harden (13) after a foul during the second half of Game 1 of the NBA Western Conference semi-final basketball playoffs series in Oklahoma City May 14, 2012. (Reuters / May 16, 2012)

First thing, how ’bout D. Fisher’s calves in that pic? What a stallion. On to Legler and Ron Ron… Apparently on Mike and Mike this morning, Greeny asked NBA analyst Tim Legler his thoughts on Metta World Peace’s post game comments regarding his early hot hand game 1 against the Thunder. Here’s how it went down:

What exactly did Metta World Peace say? “I didn’t realize Oklahoma had so many fine women. I felt really comfortable, I hit my first two shots. It was mainly because of how beautiful the women were.”

Mike Greenberg: “In your experience [to Tim Legler], how much of a factor are the beautiful women to quick starts?”

Tim Legler: “Well I think in Oklahoma City, it’s definitely a factor. It’s definitely a factor in that arena and he’s honest. If that makes his mind calm down to the point where he can knock down some points, so be it. Good for the Lakers.”

Doesn’t a normal person just pass this off as Ron Ron being his normal whacky self? Not actually validate it by saying “it’s definitely a factor“? Maybe Legler is mixing up honesty with insanity? I love Artest, but I embrace his insanity with that love. Part genius, part psycho. Is this some ploy to get into the Thunder’s head? All of it seems nuts to me. Hell, the more I think about it, it’s making me crazy. Maybe Legler nailed it… maybe Artest really does believe the hot chicks in OK make him better? If so, I guess they all left a few minutes into the game… because everybody on the Lakers sucked after that. They were annihilated. Here’s to turning things around for game 2 tonight…

Oh, keep an eye out court-side game 3 at Staples center…if Buss believes Ron Ron… decent chance we see an entourage of Spearmint Rhino girls scattered throughout the crowd.

Is It Possible that Japan is Lazier than America?

Posted on May 16, 2012 by bp

TOKYO — Honda Motor Co. unveiled its latest electric vehicle Tuesday, but it is unlike any of the cars and motorcycles the company is best known for.

Rather, the UNI-CUB single-seat, unicycle-like vehicle looks something like a vacuum cleaner with a bicycle saddle mounted on top. Indeed, viewed from the side, its black-and-white color scheme makes it look strikingly like a penguin.

On the UNI-CUB, riders move backward and forward, side-to-side or diagonally at a top speed of 3.7 mph (6kph) just by shifting their weight. It is latest product of the robotic technologies Honda has been developing…

Is that what’s happening here? Japan got so wrapped up in their attempts to be better than America in everything…that they now want to be better at being fat? Because that’s exactly what this stupid little penguin pod is gonna create… tons of fatasses.
