Delmon Young Doesn't Believe in Straight Lines


Just in case you missed it, last night David Ortiz rekindled some of his clutch magic leading the Red Sox to a 5-4 come back win in which he had all 5 RBIs, including a Walk-Off Home Run. Because MLB will take down any good video footage of the home run in a matter of hours lets just do a screen grab of how piss poor Delmon Young was at robbing the home run last night. (Click on the image to expand it)

Delmon decided, as you can see in the picture, to run to the wall 10 to 15 ft. closer to the foul pole from where the ball landed, pivot towards where the ball lands, run in circles and finally get to the spot where the ball went over the wall right as the fans in the first row go to catch the ball, which was at most head high. Only the Devil Rays could suck this badly. That probably was one of the easiest Home Run balls in the history of Major League Baseball to rob. It stayed in the air forever and landed in the first row over a wall that is approximately hip high.

And for all my ass bag Red Sox fan friends here's a video from someone who shot the HR and celebration from the stands.

Hey Simon, quit crying and post more human tetris videos.

~Are there any questions about the Chargers? Do you want to talk about the football game? That statement pretty much covers it for me.

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...
