A Theoretical Conversation Between Carlos Gonzalez and Charlie Manuel

Charlie Manuel - Umm, well hello, umm Carlos.

Carlos Gonzalez aka CarGo - Uhhh, who is this?

Charlie Manuel - Well you know its, [5 seconds of dead air], Chaaahhhllie Manuel. My team, you know, umm, lost in the World Series and umm, I guess that makes me umm the manager of umm the All Star Game.

CarGo - Oh, Mr. Manuel, so is this good news about the All Star game?

Charlie Manuel - Well, you know I had some hardish type decisions to make. Umm, they want me to pick umm the All Star team and umm well I don't remember people's names and things. So umm, I kind of picked guys umm, that were you know kind of All Stars before cause well they were all stars before so well they can be all stars again, right? I think that umm makes sense.

CarGo - Soooo, that means I didn't make the team?

Charlie Manuel - Well ya umm, I didn't really know your name, umm, there are so many people named Gonzalez and umm I just went with Adrian. And well umm, I have to pick a player on each um team so I picked some guys that umm aren't very good, they kind of suck. But they umm told me I needed an Asshole, or is it Assload?

CarGo - Astro?

Charlie Manuel - Ya Assload. So I took Jason Bourne, just in case we get into some kind of fight. And then I needed a D-Bag so I took some Young guy. My secret is ask my bat boy who has the most homers or steals on a team and then umm I take them. Oh Oh and I took that sunglasses at night guy... Love that tune.

CarGo - So, you're telling me that Chris Young, Michael Bourn and Corey Hart made the All Star team over me?

Charlie Manuel - Well yessirreee! And I took a Byrd and some guy named Infante cause he plays like two positions.

CarGo - Wow, well than thanks for the call. I guess. Guess the fact I rank top 8 in the NL in Hits, Average, Runs, RBI and HRs means nothing.

Charlie Manuel - No sirree it don't mean a nothin.

CarGo - Thanks again jackass. [click]

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...
