Jose Offerman's Still Swinging


Remember the illustrious Jose Offerman? If you're a Sox fan you certainly do. In 1999 Offerman made his debut with the Sox and while he was miserable in the field he hit .294 and was a valuable bat in their lineup. He proceeded to tank the next 2 1/2 years and was shipped to Seattle.

Well Jose is still toiling around baseball trying to make it. Last year he toiled in Triple A and this season he's a teammate of Crazy Carl the Dinosaur Hater with the Long Island Ducks. Apparently Jose needed Crazy Carl to hold him back like he did with the Red Sox, cause well Jose lost his cool a little bit last night.

In the first inning of the game against the Bridgeport Bluefish Offerman went yard. So naturally the next inning when he was drilled in the calf he charged the mound with bat in hand and swung at the pitcher. He clipped pitcher Matt Beech's fingers and hit catcher John Nathans in the head with the backswing. Jose was then arrested and taken into custody.


Come on Jose, Bridgeport is such a lovely city how could anyone ever get mad when you are in such a paradise and when you have such a beautiful view of the local power plant just past the right field bleachers. The beautiful smog of Bridgeport should promote peace and harmony and all things wonderful not violence and anger towards the opposing pitcher Jose. Think happy thoughts. Plus you only got hit on the damn calf, how much of a little bitch are you, that couldn't have seriously hurt much. Stop being a little girl Jose, do you think a Major League team is going to pick you up now? You made Crazy Carl look tame.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
