Weekly Waste of Oxygen

Two big time wastes of Oxygen battle it out this week in a classic showdown

1. Grey Ruegamer - I don't really know if this deserves Waste of Oxygen status or if it's just really really really weird. But when some guy tells a story about biting off animal nuts I think it's crazy enough that at the very least it garners some consideration. Is it that much easier to use your teeth than say bolt cutters?

2. Brandon Inge - At first I thought Inge would have had a shot at winning this week. He's the prototypically woah is me I get 6 million dollars a year and I'm not happy guy. He's bitching about how he isn't going to get any pt now that Cabrera is a Tiger yet it's his 6 million dollar contract which makes him untradeable. Typically this sort of whining has a shot to win the weekly waste, but this week I'd be shocked if Inge took home a vote.

3. Jerramy Stevens - Before you do anything, read the entire story including the article linked to by TBL. Than after a few minutes regather your thoughts and just classify how big of a scumbag Jerramy Stevens is. How there is any possible way you would want to be friends with him, or have him as one of your teammates, or be forced to coach him, or even be in the same state as him. Than think about how the prosecutor completely bailed him out for no discernible reason and think about how you're ten billion times the human being as Stevens yet can't ever catch a break. Now how much do you hate this man.

4. Tomas Delgado - Excuse me but do you see my audi? I paid a shitload for that car and now it's damaged and it's completely your sons fault. I want you to pay me back for the damages to my car. If you leave out the details it's not that bad. Car was damaged partially the sons fault wants money for damages. Than when you throw in the fact that Delgado was driving 100 mph and his car was damaged when he killed the son, than it puts a whole different spin on things.

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...
