If you’ve got love in your sights, watch out, love bites. -Def Leppard
What in all Holy Heck is going on around here? First Tree Rollins bites Danny Ainge. Then Mike Tyson bites Evander Hoyfeild. Then Pac Man Jones bites a bouncer. Now this: Dolphins defensive tackle Frederick Evans (6’4″, 305) forced his way into a taxi outside a club in Miami Beach over the weekend. Got into a dispute with the driver. Refused to get out. Bad boys, bad boys. Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Whatcha gonna do? Fight ‘em. That’s what. Get tasered by ‘em. That’s what. And when all else fails? You bite ‘em. That’s what. Freddy is now charged with a host of felony charges. A gaggle of felony charges. A slew of felony charges. A plethora of felony charges. Multiple counts of battery on a law enforcement officer. Resisting with violence. Disorderly orderly intoxication. Trespassing. Cam Cameron: We will not condone this type of behavior. I assure everyone, it will be dealt with very seriously. Roger Goodell? What say you?

If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. -Sir Isaac Newton
Public Knowledge:
1. Rod Beck. RIP. I remember the big bushy mustache. I remember the fifty-one saves. I remember they called him Shooter. I remember the cigarettes. I remember him at the All Star game. I remember he came to the Sox and was reduced to a set-up man with nary a complaint. I remember he was the best closer in baseball for a coupla seasons. I remember Rod Beck. Read More »

I love it when you hit those switches. A curve ball’s what my pitch is. So here we here we come, like dum ditty dum. I keep all five boroughs in stitches. -Beastie Boys
OK, here we go! I watched the Mets Saturday night. Meet the Mets, meet the Mets. Step right up and greet the Mets. Bring your kiddies, bring your wife. Guaranteed to have the time of your life. Meet El Duque. Having the time of his life. Having the time of his life throwing that lollipop curve. Lollipop lollipop. Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop. Lollipop!
Lollipop curving with two on and two out in the seventh. Lollipop curving in an eight-pitch confrontation with Mark Kotsay. Lollipop curving and whiffing Mark Kotsay. Whiffing Mark Kotsay en route to a seven inning, seven strikeout, shutout performance. Doing it with the eephus. The where’s the beefus. The good griefus. The junkiest of junk pitches. In the daytime, I’m Mr. Natural. Just as healthy as I can be. But at night, I’m a junk food junkie. Good lord have pity on me. Good lord have pity on the batter made to look foolish by the eephus. That powerful paralyzing perfect pachydermus percussion pitch. That high arching super slowball. Let it flow. Let yourself go. Slow and low. That is the tempo. Read More »

If the Lord is my friend, we’ll meet at the end of the gunfight at O.K. Corral. There they lay side by side. The killers that died in the gunfight at O.K. Corral. -Johnny Legend
OK, here we go! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! At San Diego Dragway! Jake Peavy, the Dixie Cannonball vs. Josh Boom Boom Beckett. As great a pitching match-up as you’re gonna see. As great a pitching match-up as there could be. Better than the Battle of the Coral Sea. Wyatt Earp vs. Ike Clanton. Jesse James vs. Bob Ford. John Wesley Hardin vs. Wild Bill Hickock. Pat Garret vs. Billy the Kid. Well, he never traveled heavy. Yes, he always rode alone. And he soon put many older guns to shame. And he never had a sweetheart. And he never had a home. But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name. The cowboy and the rancher know the Dixie Cannonball’s name. The cowboy and the rancher know Boom Boom Becket’s name. They know their game. Understand their fame. The cowboy and the rancher know these names too: Read More »

Do you not know, my son, with what little understanding the world is ruled? -Pope Julius III
1. Wanna hear what a leader sounds like? Huh? Do ya? This is what a leader sounds like. Mighty Vince Young: We want him (Pac Man) to know these guys over here, we love him a whole lot, but we feel like he don’t care about us right now. At the same time, that’s his issue. He has got to take care of his problem. We want him back here, to come back over here playing and making plays because he does a whole lot for our team, but as a team we are feeling like, Man, does he care about us over here? That’s what a leader sounds like. Mighty Vince Young is going to be a super super star. In charge. A big house. Five cars. Read More »

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town. Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down. -Eagles
OK, here we go! The Boston Red Sox needed a miracle…they got Dustin Pedroia. It’s never too late to believe in your dreams. It’s not too late for Dustin Pedroia.
Dustin Pedroia, the rookie destroyer. The jump for joyer. The wonder boyer. The real McCoyer. Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy, hang on. Dustin stands 5’9″. 5’9″ without the afro. Brings back memories of other little guys manning second. Brings back memories of Marty Barrett. Brings back memories of Jody Reed. Brings back memories of Denny Doyle. Brings back memories, yes, but this cat is better. Sharp like cheddar, his rhymes are better. Read More »
