      10 Best Moments of Celebrities Playing Sports

      July 2, 2008 /

      ALL BALLS (great name for a blog by the way) ranks the 10 best moments of celebrities playing sports, including Billy Crystal’s attempt at hitting major league pitching.

      #3 Billy Crystal At The Bat – A lot of people thought Billy would be “running scared,” but he was a regular “city slicker” at the plate. After “analyzing this” videotape, I think Billy really is one of “America’s sweethearts.”

      #1 Star Jones Gets Served By Jason Sehorn – As the bald man at the end of the video says, “you can’t see Star hit by that football enough.”

      I still think Crystal held his own in that batter’s box. The man’s 60 years old for cribbs’ sake.

      Wednesday Morning Headliners: Pitchers dominate in MLB

      July 2, 2008 /

      – Matt Garza is starting to fulfill on some of that promise. Garza threw seven strong innings, yielding just one run on five hits in the Rays’ 3-1 win over the Red Sox. Tampa has now won three in a row and has opened up a 2.5-game lead over the struggling BoSox, losers of four straight.

      – The Angels used a three-run eighth to top the A’s 5-3. Vlad Guerrero singled in a run in the eighth to tie the game, while Garrett Anderson followed up the single with a two-run blast that eventual put the Halos ahead for good.

      – Matt Cain has been inconsistent all season, but his work Tuesday night proves the 23-year old has massive potential. Cain threw eight shutout innings against the struggling Cubs, striking out ten and limiting Chicago to only two hits. The Giants came away with a 2-1 victory.

      – Aaron Cook gave up just five hits and shutout the Padres 4-0 in Colorado. Cook is now 11-5 on the season for the fourth place Rockies.

      – Randy Johnson continues to struggle. Johnson lasted just 3.2 innings, giving up seven runs on eight hits as the Brewers beat the Diamondbacks 8-6. The Big Unit is now 4-7 on the season with a 5.46 ERA.

      Baseball’s 50 Strangest Moments

      July 1, 2008 /

      THE LOVE OF SPORTS ranks the top 50 strangest moments in baseball history and for your viewing pleasure, also has the video of some of those moments.

      6. Double-A manager Phillip Wellman’s tirade includes crawling on the field, hurling bases into the outfield and throwing the rosin bag at the umpire as if it were a grenade.

      5. Minor league right fielder Rodney McCray runs through the outfield wall in pursuit of a fly ball.

      2. Millions of tiny bugs, called midges, swarm Jacobs Field during Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS between the Yankees and Indians.

      1. An earthquake rocks Candlestick Park minutes before Game 3 of the 1989 World Series between the Giants and Athletics.

      That video of Double-A manager Phillip Wellman is absolutely insane. It makes you wonder if either A.) The guy was hammered drunk or B.) If he was paid to do it as part of a comic act for minor league fans. Great list.

      July 1, 2008 /

      MLB:

      – Jamie Shields held Boston to only two runs on five hits over 6.1 innings to help the Rays top the Red Sox 5-4. The home team has dominated every contest in this series this season and the Rays have now opened up a 1.5 game lead over the Sox in the AL East.

      – Roy Halladay threw his 10th career shutout, limiting the Mariners to four hits in the Jays’ 2-0 win. It was the third straight victory for Halladay.

      – The Cubs got back on track Monday by gorilla-smacking the Giants 9-2. Barry Zito is obviously the cure for what ails all struggling clubs. Mark DeRosa had a banner night, going 3 for 4 with two home runs (including a grand slam), six RBI and three runs scored.

      – Jhonny Peralta went 5 for 5 with three RBI and three runs scored, but the Tribe fell to the White Sox 9-7. Gavin Floyd won his ninth game of the year for the Chi Sox, who are now 2.5 games up on the second place Twins.

      NFL:

      – Patriots’ defensive back Willie Andrews was arrested Monday for allegedly pointing a gun at his girlfriend’s head after she accused him of cheating on her. Couple that charge with the gun-related charge he got in 2002 while playing at the University of Baylor and Andrews is building up quite a track record.
