Introducing the Daniel Cabrera Watch

You may or may not have heard of Daniel Cabrera. If you haven't well first he's a baseball player, second he's a pitcher, and third he just might be the world's worst hitter. Daniel Cabrera pitched for the Oreo's from 2004 through last season so he didn't get many at bats, but in those at bats he performed. And by performed I mean struck out every single at bat. That's right coming into this year he was 14 for 14. Fourteen at bats, fourteen strikeouts. In the offseason he moved across the Metro area and is now in the Nationals rotation. Thus far he's started two games and has seen the plate three different times and he's kept the streak going, 3 more Ks. For his career he is now 17 for 17.

I guess to Cabrera's credit, he has gotten a hit in spring training which he was incredibly pumped about. Too bad that doesn't count.

Anywho, the Cabrera watch is going to be a short post tracking his at bats per post until he finally gets a hit. Then we shall embarrass the pitcher who gives up the hit.

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...
