Tommy Hanson: One For The Ages

Tommy Hanson:  One For The Ages

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town.  Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down.  -Eagles

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Rookie rookie, who gets the cookie?  Tommy, that’s who.  Tommy’s the big winner.  Tommy wins.  Atlanta Braves rookie Tommy Hanson’s been winning a lot lately. Yesterday afternoon, against my beloved Red Sox, Tommy Hanson threw six shutout innings and was the winner winner chicken dinner of record.  Hooray Tommy Hanson!  After a no-decision start in his big-league debut, Hanson has won four straight starts.  If that weren’t enough, he hasn’t allowed a run in any of his last three outings.  Yowza!  For those of you keeping score at home, Hanson just became the first Braves rookie pitcher to ever hold his opponents scoreless in each of three consecutive starts.  Ever! How about that?  How about this?  Hanson extended his streak of scoreless innings to 20, the longest for a Braves rookie starter since the imitable Pete Smith in 1988.  Wait, there’s more.  Hanson is the second Braves pitcher since 1900 to post a record of 4-0 or better over his first five games in the majors.  The other was Larry McWilliams in 1978.  Tommy Hanson:  The stuff  legends are made.  

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

Quick Stat: Prince Fielder

Quick Stat:  Prince Fielder

Down.  The paint is peelin’.  Now, when the chips are down.  Down.  You gotta lose all feelin’.  Now, your head goes round n’ round.  -Terror Squad

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Move over Big Papi, there’s a new sheriff in town.  And I want the rest of you cowboys to know something, there’s a new sheriff in town.  And his name is Reggie Hammond.  So y’all be cool.  Right on.  Actually, his name is Prince Fielder  so y’all be cool.  Right on.  Right on Prince Fielder.  Last night, Fielder’s two-out double in the last of the ninth drove in the winner winner chickin dinner in the Brewers’ 7-6 win over the Giants.  Hooray Brewers!  Hooray Prince Fielder!  Know this sports fans:  In RBI situations with the game on the line, Prince is the king.  Long live the King!  Know this too:  That hit lifted his career batting average in Late-Inning Pressure Situations, or LIPS as the kids like to say, with runners in scoring position to .364.  Yowza!  Know that that’s the highest among active players with at least 60 at-bats in LIPS with RISP.  And Bill James says there’s no such thing as clutch.  Bill James can eat Prince Fielder’s shorts.  Those are some mighty big shorts too.  Mighty big.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

In Case You Missed: Brandon Jennings

The funny thing is, on Thursday, thanks to the good folks at Under Armour, I was at the Brandon Jennings post-draft party.  Brandon seemed like a nice enough fellow:

Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That

From the NY Post:  Sizzlin’ Alex Rod:

KATE REALLY LIKES THIS: Alex Rodriguez (left) congratulates Jorge Posada after scoring on the catcher's three-run home run in the sixth inning of the Yankees' 5-0 victory over the Mets last night at Citi Field.

Peace out homos.  Six two and even!

Welcome Back Big Papi

Welcome Back Big Papi

Do that to me one more time.  Once is never enough with a man like you.  Do that to me one more time.  I can never get enough of a man like you.  -Captain & Tennille

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Big Papi.  My favorite two words in the dictionary.  The most feared hitter in all of baseball.  The most cheered hitter in all of baseball.  The most endeared hitter in all of baseball.  Finally!  Finally, it has happened to me.  Right in front of my face, my feelin’s can’t describe it.  Finally it has happened to me.  Right in front of my face and I just cannot hide it.  Finally, Big Papi is back.  Happy days are here again, the skies above are clear again, so let’s sing a song of cheer again.  Happy days are here again!     Read More »

RIP Farrah

John McEnroe once commented on how strange it was, that as a kid, he had a poster of his future mother-in-law tacked on the wall.  Thing is, we all had that poster tacked on the wall.  Rest in peace Farrah:

Blake Griffin Is Doomed

Blake Griffin Is Doomed

Because I’m bad, I’m bad, -come on, you know it.  You know I’m bad, I’m bad and the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again who’s bad.  -Michael Jackson

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Groucho Marx once said, “I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.”  That goes double for the Clippers.  The Clippers began the 2009 NBA Draft by taking Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin.  All well and good.  Blake is, well, good.  But I would not rush to judgement just yet if I were you.  The Clippers have drafted only one future All-Star in the last 20 years.  Just one.  Just Antonio McDyess back in ‘95.  And if oyu remember correctly, the Clips immediately traded McDyess on draft night.  The last player drafted by the Clippers who represented the team in an All-Star Game was Danny Manning.  But buck up Blake, at least Manning was chosen first overall too.  There still might be hope for you afterall.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

Spurs: Back In The Saddle

Spurs: Back In The Saddle

Ridin’ the range once more, totin’ my old .44, where you sleep out every night and the only law is right.  Back in the saddle again.  -Gene Autrey

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle, as I go ridin’ merrily along.  Don’t look now, here come the Spurs.  Maybe you forgot about them.  Who could blame you.  Last season they weren’t looking so jingly.  Not so jangly.  Last season, Manu Ginobili played in only 44 games as he continued to struggle with a right ankle injury.  Last season, Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley and Kurt Thomas all looked their age.  Last season, the once mighty mighty San Antonio Spurs were an afterthought.  This season ain’t last season.     Read More »
