Where's the Love for Crazy Carl


Every now and then a player gets a bad rap for stupid things he says or does. Or when certain criminal charges are brought against him, and then he gets a nickname like Crazy and gets designated for assignment. This all happened to Carl Everett last season and its a damn shame.

Crazy Carl is attempting to resurface on a big league club by pounding away in the Atlantic League for the Long Island Ducks. He currently has 18 homers and 71 rbi and is top 5 in both categories despite missing some time. So why isn't a team in need of a DH at the end of the season, such as the Angels, going out and getting Carl? It's not as if dinosaur enthusiasts are going to boycott your games because he doesn't believe they ever existed. If gay people remember his comments they might, but you know it's been awhile, I think they probably have recooped by now. One added bonus is that if you sign Carl the chances are good that you can get at least one blowup at an umpire and those are always funny.

So someone please go out and give Crazy Carl a try, Gary Sheffield and Elijah Dukes need one of their hometown boys to help out. They can't provide all of the crazy in MLB all of the time, they need some help.

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...
