Straight In The Face

Freep - Wearing 11 stitches above his left eye, Detroit Tigers outfielder Brennan Boesch sat at his locker this morning and said he felt fine, two days after he got hit in the face by a wind-blown fly ball he was trying to catch in rightfield. "This isn't going to slow me down," Boesch said. "My vision is fine. The only reason I'm not playing today is the training staff wants to give me one day for the swelling to go down. My upper eye is still a little bit swollen."

I almost forgot to mention that during the pre-exhibition exhibition against Florida Southern the other day Brennan Boesch took a fly ball straight off the kisser in the outfield. I didn't know if it was newsworthy at the time but turns out the dude needed 11 stitches. Maybe we can get Smalls to play outfield if nobody else can do it.

Bmase Is My New Real Estate Agent

Craigslist.com - 3 story red and gray home, asphalt roof may have a few leaks as the interior does have some interior damage. Home is on cinder blocks that look sturdy. The siding is vinyl on the bottom with the wood on the top. The home has a concrete slab patio that appears to be in good shape, with an enclosed porch. House sits a nice lot with a cement drive way to the right of the home. Lot and home selling for $3,995

No sense even shopping ladies and gentlemen. Money is already being paypal'd over. If the first sentence didn't seal the deal, the second one Todd Jones'd the shit out of me. I mean "Home is on cinder blocks that look sturdy" is the reason you go to real estate school.

P.S. - I need four roommates. Monthly Rent: Mickey's grenades and monthly inspection of cinder blocks.

Bmase

PSS - I've been trying to convince the Lady Friend to move to the D for some time now and she is getting pretty good at shooting me down. It's always some excuse about there not being any jobs, or crime is to rampant, or you will leave me for one of the Locomotion Girls. Blah blah blah. But then Bmase hits me with a deal just too good to be true. I might just buy it without telling her and we can retire to it down the road.

NBA Action, It's FANtastic

VS


So uhhh, yeah, that just happened. Nueva York just ran us out of Madison Square Garden. I’m just going to skip looking at the box score and hit you with this interesting bit. The Pistons were losing by enough to get Kwame Brown, DaJuan Summers, and Chucky Atkins into the game.

George Blaha pointed out earlier in the game that Detroit has only played 10 games with a completely healthy lineup this year. He then went on to project that had the Pistons played the entire year without an injury they would have been good enough to get 36 wins and occupy the 5 spot in the East right now. Really George? The team that is currently missing only Ben Wallace’s 5.3 points per game is good enough to get to 36 wins? That’s laughable.

Oh, and I’d also like to point out that we were down 9 with about 7 minutes to go. Way to close guys, way to close.

John Does It Again

Huffingtonpost.com - John Daly was so irritated that a Florida newspaper wrote about his PGA Tour disciplinary file that he referred to the writer as a "jerk" on Twitter and posted the writer's cell phone number for his followers to call. The Florida Times-Union reported Tuesday that the file is now public record through Daly's unsuccessful libel lawsuit against the newspaper. The file is 456 pages and notes that Daly has been suspended five times and cited 21 times for not giving his best effort. "here's the JERK who writes NON-NEWS article on debut of my show -- CALL & FLOOD his line & let's tell him how WE feel," Daly said on Twitter, adding the cell phone number of golf writer Garry Smits.

Punch. Counterpunch. Well played John. This guy totally deserves the shit storm coming his way. What a fuckin idiot. If you're gonna put a golfer on shout I would suggest not picking John Daly. Sure, he's an easy target but you gotta know he's coming back with something. And something probably pretty good, too. Like giving out your phone number to the free world and egging them on to harass you. Have fun with your new email address and phone number dude.

PS - You know those 21 citations he got for "not giving his best effort" really mean he showed up smelling like hooker and tried to tee off all shitcanned in front of the gallery. Easily my favorite golfer ever.

Pretty Boy vs Sugar Shane Is Getting 5th Grade Rowdy

Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley almost made out last night at their weigh in and then coped a feel of each others finely knit suits in order to promote their upcoming fight. It just blows that it isn't Mayweather and Pacquiao doing this cause that would be the best fight in the last 5 years. I got Mayweather taking this one down cause he hasn't been hit in his last 10 bouts but I just want to warn him about pulling this type of shit against Riddick Bowe. Dude will break your jaw 3 months before the fight starts. FILA rocks the shit.

Is It The Shoes Or Are The Pistons Just Fucked Beyond Fucked?

Last night Tayshaun and Big Ben both went down with another low ankle sprain. These guys can't walk off the court after a timeout without crippling themselves. I'm gonna classify this under totallyfuckinbelievable. The Piston's long time and well mustached strength and conditioning coach Artie Kander has claimed that it's not on him and that he blames the shoes. He has recently banned the Nike Hyperize and thinks they need more support in the lower region. But I got news for him, if he doesn't develop a shoe that grows a pair of balls then the Pistons are fucked.

PS - Are those 5 lb dumbells that Darko is struggling with?

If No Cromartie Then Give Me Pacman

According to multiple Joeyballgame sources it turns out the Lions aren't interested in Cromartie but are attending Adam "Pacman" Jones' workout. Interesting turn of events. I think you should still get Cromartie and if Pacman doesn't have a handgun fall out of his football pads during his workout then I say get both of them. I mean Detroit is made for this guy. He could probably buy my favorite Detroit strip club "Crazy Horse" and just live in the dressing room. Would make one hell of a reality show too.
