~Ichiro might be the funniest man on the planet that no one knows about. Here's a list of a bunch of quotes from Ichiro but it all comes down to this classic quote: "To tell the truth, I'm not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to. If I ever saw myself saying I'm excited going to Cleveland, I'd punch myself in the face, because I'm lying." In essence Cleveland is so uncool that a Japanese man would rather punch himself in the face than step foot there. So I'm guessing that during his free agent search this offseason the Indians might as well forget about their candidacy.~CGB is back and posting and unearthed the fact that ESPN is continuing to attempt to further their global dominance by buying the worlds friggin largest cricket site. I don't know whether you have ever attempted to watch cricket or not, if you have I'm sorry you were not forewarned, if you haven't please for the sake of your own sanity never watch it. It's agony, it's horrendously boring. If you are a big time baseball fan you will find it boring, if you don't like baseball cause you think it's slow and boring, then I'd be willing to bet you'd rather watch paint dry. Unless you really really really like tea and crumpets.
~In more cricket news, that Pakistani coach apparently was not murdered, so that in essence ruins what would have been a sweet made for TV murder mystery.
~Not so surprisingly Manny Ramirez loves his hair way too much and not so coincidentally loves his hairstylist LMonstro. What the heck kind of name is Lmonstro? Apparently Manny got sick of the Cheetos that were in his hair and his dreads are back to all black. Boo to that Manny, Chester Cheetah is very mad at you.~The whole Dale Jr. DEI cross is over and he will join rival Hendrick motor sports. This just might be one of the stupidest in family conflicts in the history of racing and I guarantee Dale Sr. is fuming in his grave over the fact that his wife and son couldn't agree to anything. Just all around dumb.
~Boo to no Pac Man this season after he dropped his appeal.
~I think Bonds hit a homer last night solely because my father an hour previous said that he read somewhere that Bonds might just be done, that he may have hit a wall and that he may not last the season nor break the record. And of course he hits a homer.
~ESPN.com not surprisingly has failed to mention how badly the NBA ratings sucked.
~Last night while watching Baseball Tonight they had a segment where Steve Philips argued with himself for 10 minutes, one Steve Philips was hetero in blue and the other was not so hetero in all pink. I don't know who thought this was a good idea but ya they were wrong, this might have been the creepiest thing ESPN has ever done. ~Harold Reynolds will be working for the ole MLB, hopefully he does a better job of not taking his co-workers out to a chain restaurant and hugging them. He is definitely missed on Baseball Tonight though, especially with that lame Philips segment.
