MidWeek Quick Notes

Bonds Notes

~How awesome was the pileup for the home run. It looked like a brawl. I guess it should considering that's probably a minimum of a couple 100K flying into a crowded street. People are going to go all out for that. I feel as if the kid that caught it doesn't deserve it though. I hate people that show up to a game and wear jerseys that have nothing to do with the teams on the field. Why wear a Mets jersey if the Mets are on the complete opposite side of the US and have already been hammered by the Braves earlier in the night. Just show up in a t-shirt or a polo you loser. A Rant from me at Epic Carnival is up now.

~If Mike Bacsik ends up shitting the bed in his pro career he will always have this moment to be remembered for. So what if its a negative moment, its not like he's the only pitcher to give up a damn home run to Barry Bonds. Maybe if Barry holds the record for a long time he'll invite Mike on the gravy autograph train.

~Bonds is the homerun king, like it or not you can't make any claims he isn't. He holds the only two important home run records. Deal with it.

~And if you're annoyed with that and really don't like Barry, just enjoy the fact that the Giants suck this season, and he's never won or will win a World Series.

Yanks Notes

~The Blue Jays don't like Arod much at all. Josh Towers threw at his knee and started talking trash despite he's probably 180 soaking wet. Meanwhile Matt Stairs really wanted to prove the pride of Canada and sprinted towards Arod both times the "brawl" broke out. And by brawl I mean benches clearing nothingness. It was quite humorous to watch though. Shelley Duncan sprinted out to get in the way of Matt Stairs, and his a big big boy. Farny was seemingly the last person off the bench, despite also being a big big boy. And Andy Pettite was just having a casual conversation with Gregg Zaun. And Michael Kay confused John Gibbons as the one who was sprinting towards Arod, when it was Matt Stairs. All because they were wearing the same jacket.

~Apparently Josh Towers and the Jays forgot that Roger Clemens was pitching and that he's the only Yankee that will drill someone and will take joy out of their pain. He drilled Alex Rios between the shoulder blades this morning. The funniest thing I hear in the morning was a recap of a conversation between Chris Carlin and Sweeny Murti, two guys that work for WFAN, Carlin was apparently on the road and called up Murti and asked him why Clemens hadn't drilled someone yet, Murti responded with pitch count is too low. Pitch Count got to 90 in the seventh inning with the best Blue Jay up, and drilled. Ha. I think that is far and away my favorite part about Clemens.

~Not like this will be on Youtube but god I wish it was. Shelley Duncan was on first base and Melky Cabrera bunted the ball in front of the catcher. Zaun threw to second and Shelley basically pulled a Lui Kang flying kick and planted his spikes on SS John McDonalds glove knocking the ball and McDonald's glove into orbit. It was hilarious.

~The Yanks are 5 games back of the Sox and a 1/2 game out of the wild card but starting friday their cupcake schedule is over. Time to beat the big boys of the AL.

Lost in the Shuffle

~Justin Upton is 19 and if the rest of his team didn't suck balls last night he might have had a better shot of hitting for a cycle. He hit a 2B, 3B, and a HR but made out in his 4th and final at bat in the 9th inning. Hey Zona how about getting the kid a 5th at bat, would it be that hard? Honestly, if this kid is as touted and as good as he has shown so far, and he's only 19, than that home run ball hit last night was easily the second most valuable ball. And if I was that guy I think I would hold onto it for a long time.

~Want to promote baseball to African Americans how about starting the hype machine on the Upton boys right now. Justin is the #1 prospect in baseball and BJ is hittin .320 with double digit steals and homers. And unlike Dukes and Sheffield they are not douche bags. MLB this is your opportunity, get the hype machine chugging.

~The Mets can't beat the Braves. This season they have 3 wins against the Braves in 10 games. All three wins were credited to Oliver Perez, and well he was hammered last night for the loss which means they just might get swept. The Mets are lucky that they don't play the Braves more times during the season.

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...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
