Weekend Review Quick Notes

~Barry Lamar Bonds hit 755 and the world was un-enthused. Personally I thought Bud Selig's reaction was lame, at least give 2 weak claps, you looked like a fool. But I guess you were too tired from your Herculean Effort to move your arms. It's as if Bud Selig is trying to be a douche to the proportion that people want to give Barry Bonds a break. I almost feel good for the guy.

~Arod went yard and decided that he didn't want to leave the batters box until the ball was in the stands. I'm glad he's there, he certainly is glad its over and now perhaps he can go back on the tear he was on beforehand.

~Tom Glavine won #300, yippy. People are beginning to state that he may be the last 300 game winner ever. Come on, let's not jump to stupid conclusions like that. There will be another 300 game winner, who knows when but there will be one. I'd even put money down on CC if there was a betting line in Vegas for that.

~Manny Ramirez apparently has friends that he wants to wave to in Seattle after home runs. I personally thought this was hilarious and I wish someone would just post up the video on youtube already. Oh and then he went in the dugout and acted like a bull charging a matador.

~And even more entertaining in that game, the Moose Mascot attempted to run over Coco Crisp with his ATV. That was funny. Hooray for found video, at the bottom.

~The Indians and Tigers are really putting effort forth to getting the Yankees into the playoffs.

~Mikey Pizza cleared waivers. I'm kind of surprised an AL team looking for some DH pop didn't claim him. Perhaps the Twinkies? Or Angels make sense?

~The White Sox claimed Miguel Tejada off waivers. Huh? Why? Not like you're going to compete next year, you really want to pay out his salary this season and have him on your squad next year? Um ok. And if you were blocking, why? You're not going to make the playoffs this year.

~Things that aren't a good idea: Talking trash about Tiger Woods. Last year Stephen Ames talked shit and then matched up against Tiger in the match play tourney and almost got shut out. And this year Rory Sabbatini talked trash and got pummeled in the final round yesterday. Rory didn't you know Tiger Woods is Now?

~Danica Patrick was leading the race this weekend and her car had problems so she didn't win yet again, leaving her 0 for, well, 0 for forever. Shades of Kournikova?

~Rookie Contract holdouts are still lame. Revis get your ass in camp already.

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...
