Being named Kristin is Bad for Your Shoulder

Kristin (Kris) Benson, wife I mean husband of Anna Benson is done for the year with a torn rotator cuff. This could have come from said "offseason" throwing regimate or perhaps it came fending off all of the pimps attempting to employ his tramp of a wife.

Have you ever met a guy named Kristin before? Is it pronounced like Christian or like the gals name Kristen? How long did it take him as a kid to assume the nickname Kris, weeks, days or minutes of ridicule? And does having a feminine name as a guy makes you more of an injury risk. I mean he has needed Tommy John and now a torn rotator cuff? Drew, kind of an ambiguous name, had a torn rotator cuff and labrum last season and dislocated his elbow during the pro bowl. Coincidence or the fault of their parents? Hmm...

Now it looks as if the Orioles might have to look into the services of Steve "The Trashbag" Trachsel. Or bring up some pitcher who isn't ready to compete in the AL east. It really doesn't seem fare for the O's who consistently have pitching problems to lose a guy before he even threw a single pitch in Spring Training, but as a merciless Yankee fan... Well atleast they can take solice in the fact that they really had no chance of being better than the Sox, Yanks or Jays anyway.

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...
