      A-Rod’s wife wears message at Yankee Stadium: “F**k you”

      July 2, 2007 /

      Alex Rodriguez’s wife, Cynthia, wore a shirt with the words, “F**k you” to the Yankees-A’s game yesterday, igniting a bit of a firestorm according to the NY Post.

      “I mean this kid was right in back of Cynthia – his nose must have been about 4 inches away from the words ‘F- – – you.’ “

      According to the article, she wasn’t even kicked out of the game, despite a team policy that prohibits any banners or signs that are not in “good taste”.

      While I think it’s wrong for kids to have to be subjected to profanity at what should be a harmless baseball game, Deadspin.com has a point in insinuating it’s not like “F**k you” has never been shouted at Yankee Stadium. The bigger question is what the hell was she thinking? First and foremost, she had her kid on her lap and “F**k you” printed on the back of her shirt and secondly, you’re married to a celebrity, so why wear it? Tell me what point you’re trying to make while wearing something like that. Come on lady, you’re a freaking idiot.

      Boras wants nine game WS

      July 2, 2007 /

      Sports agent Scott Boras wrote a two-page proposal to baseball commissioner Bud Selig about expanding the World Series to a best of nine. Part of Boras’ plan is to have the first two games of the series played at a neutral site, which he believes will create a buzz similar to the Super Bowl.

      “I know from an owner’s perspective, this is a gold mine,” Boras said. “To have a World Series Weekend, WSW, I think it will create a stage that the game has not seen.”

      Alright, there’s two problems with your grand plan there Boras. One, is a city like Baltimore or San Diego really going to give a crap about a Tigers-Cardinals World Series? Doubtful. Plus, if you have the first two games at a natural site and one team drops both, are you really going to ask that same team to go on the road for two more down 0-2? They could be down 0-4 before throwing one pitch in their home park. Sorry Boras, but I think this one’s a swing and a miss big guy.

      Fans vote Bonds an All-Star, are we hypocrites?

      July 1, 2007 /

      Barry Bonds was officially voted into the All-Star Game by fans Sunday, leaping over Alfonso Soriano and landing a spot in the starting outfield with Ken Griffey Jr. and Carlos Beltran.

      All anyone wants to talk about is how Bonds has cheated fans and the game, but then he still winds up in the All-Star Game, as a starter nevertheless. I can hear the conspiracy theorists out there right now saying, “Well, since the game is being played in San Francisco, MLB fixed the voting to get him in.” Go that route if it helps you sleep at night, but I don’t buy that, not with Bud the slug Selig making a quiet public stand against Bonds and breaking Hank Aaron’s all-time home run record.

      Are we as fans hypocrites? It doesn’t make a lick of sense how this guy is public enemy #1 in baseball fans’ world, yet he’s still voted into the All-Star Game…by us. It’s not all San Francisco fans doing the voting either, folks. This goes right in line with fans at opposing parks that boo the hell out of Bonds, yet all the while are snapping pictures of him at a Mach Three pace.

      Blow up ESPN now!

      June 29, 2007 /

      Denver Post columnist and frequent ESPN commenter Woody Paige and host Jay Crawford are being sued by a woman who is claiming the two repeatedly sexually harassed her while she did makeup for the show “Cold Pizza”. The woman has also said she was fired because she complained about the two’s sexual advances to management.

      Ragone said Paige, a columnist with The Denver Post, repeatedly made vulgar remarks about her appearance. Crawford, she said, made unwanted sexual advances, told her she only got the job because of her looks and contributed to a locker-room atmosphere by making disparaging remarks about another hair stylist.

      You know when there are those certain franchises in sports that have a ton of veteran players who aren’t playing up to their bloated contracts anymore and need to just blow it up and rebuild? Well, that’s ESPN right now, and I’m not even basing it off of this recent issue (they could both be innocent for all I know). Get rid of Boo-Yah Center, Chris “I’m a shell of my former self” Berman, Paige’s tired act, Skip Bayless, loud mouth Stephen A. Smith and possibly the worst of them all when he’s really on his game, Sean Salisbury.

      Seriously, what does that network bring to the table anymore? They’ve tried so hard to get “in your face” with sports coverage that I can’t even stomach to watch even 10 minutes of SportsCenter anymore. I’d keep Chris Mortensen, John Clayton (obviously not for looks), Peter Gammons, Mike Tirico, Michael Wilbon, maybe Tom Jackson and then start over.
