Can you tell the difference

One is from MLB.com, one is from ESPN.com and both are from this year.

Can you find the difference?

Obligatory Favre Post

Well here it is folks, the obligatory Favre post. So as many of you know Favre wants back into Football and wants to be released. He refuses to give Green Bay a list of teams that he would accept a trade to, while the Packers front office desperately tries to get some compensation in return for Favre. Good luck.

At this point it is a PR nightmare for all involved. If the pack let Favre go, or even trade him many Favre obsessed cheese heads will simply watch whatever new team he plays for. If the pack bench him they will have more angry fans than any team in the country who will likely go to games just to boo the team (and cheer Favre on the bench). On the other hand Favre just looks like a massive jackass for forcing the team into this position with his waffling back and forth.

My proposal to "fix" the situation? Convince Favre to take a coaching job, and hire him as the Quarterback coach for the pack. It might be the only way out of this situation at this point. And who knows, maybe Favre can be convinced to merely stay close to the game rather than play.


O and here is a treat for all you gamers out there, one of my favorite parodies of both Madden and Dungeons and Dragons

Wilpon admits he is a screwup

The owner of the Mets had something interesting to say yesterday, namely that he screwed up in his method of firing Randolph at night. Next up admitting he should never have fired Randolph in the first place?

Big News for Big Sexy

Big news everyone, your favorite Big Sexy Star Richie has fallen out of favor with his team. Big sexy has been released, so is he now little sexy? Or rather big black hole?

Chime in, and let us know what Sexson should be called.

Fantasy Baseball Minute: A pitcher you shouldn't own, but do

There are many players in fantasy baseball that are owned and should not be, read Andrew Jones, but here I will not talk about those bums. No rather today I will begin this series in fantasy baseball minutes on players you should trade away right now, you should act like you are the Seattle Mariners if you have any of the following highly overvalued pitchers.

Fire Sale Players

Rich Harden (5Wins, 2.25ERA, 1.10WHIP, 88K)- What gets you onto this list, is just about everything Rich has wrong with his stats: injury concerns? check, unsustainable 85 LOB%? check, unsustainable 5.6 HR%? check. Although to be fair his xBABIP-BABIP is a minuscule .001, which means his whip is not so crazy.

Not only does he seem overly lucky on paper but Rich Harden is a massive injury concern, having spent numerous time on the DL and having only pitched more than 150 innings once in his career, you should not expect that Rich will be of tremendous use later on in the year.

However what enterprising owners must do is sell Harden, play up his selling points top 30 in Ks, top 20 in WHIP, top 2 in ERA, and forget to mention Harden's injury problems.

SPAIN WINS

ESPANA WINS THE WORLD CUP 1-0 OVER GERMANY.

At least there was no large scale thunderstorm in Europe knocking out the US feed. Personally I had hoped for a Turkish victory against Germany, and another victory with Turkey taking the Euro Cup. But alas all that we wish for could not occur.

In other news, expect me and Loren to live blog another MLB game soon (possibly this week).

Shaq is da bomb diggity yo

In case you missed it, Shaq recently ripped up his "colleague" in a free style rap show.
As if his style was not bad enough for my (and his) ears, he also lost his most prized possession.
The gold sheriff's badge.



[Ed. note] Shaq was actual stripped of his deputy title by the self-proclaimed "Toughest Sheriff in the country." There was no physical "gold sheriff's badge" involved, other than that is now drowning in Shaq's tears.
