This Man Is Not a Cleanup Hitter


Remember when Joe Girardi was hired and everyone was ranting and raving about how smart he was and how he went to Engineering School and how he was a brilliant manager. I made the point back then that myself and all of my fellow engineer friends that I went to college with are for the most part idiots.

Well despite us being idiots I do not think any of us would ever come to the conclusion that hitting Shelley Duncan in the cleanup spot of a major league roster was a good idea. I don't care how many people are injured for the Yankees there are better options than putting a Quadruple A player in the 4 spot of the lineup. He was sent down to the minors in April for a reason, he wasn't good enough to be imperative to the club success. He's hitting below .200 right now has no home runs and has a single rbi in his 26 at bats. Last year in his 74 at bats he hit .257 with an OPS of .883. Granted he hit some clutch home runs last year, but he isn't that good.

Please Joe stop smashing your forehead on the dugout wall when making the lineup card.

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.
