I am a tu tu tu tu tough tough guy. I tell no tales, I do not lie. I am a tu tu tu tu tough tough guy. Halo round my head, too tough to die. -Ramones
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Like all the kids are saying these days, this guy rakes. Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me. That’s all this guy does. Rake. Like my main Hef always says, “He’s the Shawn Marion of baseball players, quietly piling up numbers. You never think he did much until you see the bottom line.” This folks, is the bottom line: Last night, Vladimir Guerrero recorded his 1000th hit for the Angels. That makes him only the second player in major-league history to have at least 1000 hits for a team in both the American and National Leagues. Only Dave Winfield has done that. He did that with the Padres and Yankees. The only other active player with 1000 or more hits for two teams is Manny Ramirez. When all is said and done, the numbers Vlad will pile up will be historic numbers. Heroic numbers. First ballot Hall of Fame numbers.

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape. You don’t spit into the wind. You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don’t mess around with Jim. -Jim Croce
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What? I thought you said he was all through? I thought you said without the steroids he could no longer do the dew? Like Dr. Bruce Banner without his gamma rays. Like Steve Rogers without his super soldier serum. Like Popeye without his spinach. Like Shoeshine Boy without his Underdog Super Energy Vitamin Pill. Like those guys there. Is that what you thought? Well, you thought wrong!

You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good, baby you’re no good. I’m gonna say it again. You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good, baby you’re no good. -Linda Ronstadt
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What? You thought I forgot? You thought I was going to let this slide on by? Let this glide on by? Is that what you implied? Think again.
I don’t care that the world has already dubbed this Yankees team World F’n Champions. You want to crown them, go ahead and crown their asses. I’m not gonna. I simply don’t believe. I believe in the hanging curve ball, high fiber and good scotch. I believe in the sweet spot, Big Papi, Youk and Big John Lester. I believe in Red Sox Nation. I believe this ain’t over. I believe the revolution is not a dinner party. Not for the feint of heart. Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Roll Sox, roll!

(Fox 8PM ET) Tonight you will see Peyton Manning. Tonight you will see Donovan McNabb. Tonight you will see two of the finest quarterbacks the NFL has to offer not named Tom Brady. One player you will not see is Michael Vick. Vick did indeed return to the league last week after missing the past two seasons while serving a prison sentence for dogfighting. Vick has indeed practiced with the Eagles this week, but he is not eligible to play in games until next week. NFL Preseason Football. Get your popcorn ready!

He came to town like a midwinter storm. He rode through the fields so handsome and strong. His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun, but all he had come for was having some fun. -Rednex
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Rookie rookie who gets the cookie? Jeff, that’s who. Jeff’s the big winner. Jeff wins. Jeff won last night. Nobody was raining on Jeff’s Ray Pride Parade last night. Last night, Jeff Niemann improved his record to 11-5 in the Rays’ 3-1 win over the Orioles. Hooray Jeff Niemann! Hazzah! Read More »

Plaxico Burress took a surprise plea bargain today that will land him in the hoosegow for two years. Although all the details are not yet disclosed, perhaps part of the deal includes Public Service Announcements as follows:

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito, yo te quiero, oh mi corazn. Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito, yo te quiero, oh mi corazn. -The Clash
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What’s crack-a-lacking sports fans? Baseball. Oh doctor! Like my main man Roy Hobbs always says: ”God, I love baseball.” Me too Roy, me too. I love my Red Sox, and I love Big Papi. Last night, David Ortiz hit his sixth career home run off of Roy Halladay. And aloha means good-bye! That’s the most that Halladay has allowed to any batter. Yowza! Ortiz has now homered in each of his last three games. Your puny ballparks are too small to contain my gargantuan blasts! Bring me the finest meats and cheeses for a clubhouse feast! That’s the 14th time in Ortiz’s career that he’s homered in three consecutive games (the longest home-run streak of his career is four straight in 2001), but it’s the first such streak for Big Papi since July 2006. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

We go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong. Remembered forever like shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom. -Grease
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Pitino and Calipari. Calipari and Pitino. Birds of feather. Me and my shadow, strolling down the avenue. Just me and my shadow, all alone and feelin’ blue. The connection between John Calipari and Rick Pitino is eerie. Spooky. Creepy. Where there is one, there is the other. To have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. These days it’s for worse. It’s for poorer. It’s in sickness. Read More »
