Not that anyone cares, but…

For the sake of being over the top, I’m going to give an in-depth analysis of tonight’s, thrilling/riveting home run derby. Here’s the field:

National League:
Ryan Howard (Phillies), Prince Fielder (Brewers), Albert Pujols (Cardinals), (Matt Holiday (Rockies).

American League:
Justin Morneau (Twins), Alex Rios (Blue Jays), Vladimir Guerrero (Angels)
Magglio Ordonez (Tigers).

First, cross off Fielder because he’s so young – he’s not going to be able to handle the pressure that the derby brings. Secondly, cross off all right handed batters because the left field porch at AT&T is ridiculously short. As long as they can pull the ball and keep it out of “triples alley”, left-handers have the edge. So that leaves Ryan Howard and Justin Morneau in the finals and just for the sake of not going with the defending champ, I’ll go with Morneau to win it all.

Update: As usual, the guy/team I picked didn’t even make a dent in the game…well done Justin – you freaking bum! Congrats to Vlad Guerrero for winning such a distinct honor as the home run derby!

Somebody get Urlacher a grammar book

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher is in a nasty war of words with his ex-girlfriend, Tyna Robertson, over visitation rights of their 14-month year old son, Kennedy.

In a recent Chicago Sun-Times article, the paper highlights several abusive text messages Urlacher sent Robertson from January of this year up until early June:

“Go to hell you f—— —-.”
“Grow the f— up and quit praying and get a job.”
“You’re a f—— fruit cake.”
“Your raising a little p—y.”

Read between the lines and it’s pretty obvious that young Kennedy is caught between two adults arguing like they’re still in high school. Robertson has already lost a court battle while trying to suck money from “Lord of the Dance” star Michael Flatley and it appears she’s trying her luck again, while Urlacher is just interested in seeing how many words he can misspell and names he can call Tyna.

Either way, how sad is it that our society has turned to text messaging to argue? The good old days of throwing stuff and slamming doors has been replaced with a text of: “Fyi: f— you.”

All parties need wake up call regarding Vick

ESPN.com is reporting federal investigators have turned in documentation that an illegal dog fighting operation did occur on the property of Michael Vick, but as of now, the quarterback himself will not be charged with any wrong doing. With that, I think it’s high time everyone needs a wake up call regarding Vick.

First and foremost is the media. Just as in the Duke lacrosse case, the national media has yet to learn how to only report the news and let the facts gradually come out. As soon as this case took flight, all national and regional media outlets had a story ripping Vick and his possible involvement. From ESPN showing video of dog fights on a Sunday morning, to WVEC in Virginia jumping the gun while citing over three dozen dog carcasses were removed from Vick’s property, there needs to be more responsible journalism in this country.

Secondly, to all of Vick’s apologists, just because he might not be charged with anything, doesn’t mean he wasn’t involved or had any knowledge of what was going on. Read the ESPN link above about what these people did to these dogs and it’ll be enough to make you throw up. These are sick people who ran this operation and if Vick had any involvement, he’s sick too. On the flip side, if he is truly innocent, great, then he needs to stop wasting his God given talents and supporters – myself included – need to quit making excuses for why he isn’t one of the best quarterbacks in the league yet. Put in the work for once Mike.

Lastly, to all the “haters” out there, freaking relax already. Just because you didn’t and don’t believe Vick will ever live up to the hype machine that was created for him when he came out of college, doesn’t mean the guy caused global warming, shot Kennedy or was responsible for Watergate. He’s already shown that he’s erratic on the field and a headache off it, so put the gun back in the holster and stop wanting Vick to screw up so you can say, “see, I told you so!”

Did Giant fans cheat for Bonds?

Shockingly, Barry Bonds might be involved in another situation where cheating was allegedly involved. This time, however, it was the San Francisco Giants who are being accused of skewing things in Bonds’ favor.

User “fugthebums,” (on Giantsboard.com) who has since been knighted, created an online program that supposedly allowed Giants fans to vote online for Bonds 25 times in about 30 seconds. And with the use of the F5 refresh key, code users could potentially vote online for Bonds 3600 times in an hour.

Now, ESPN, FOX or SI.com has nothing posted on this story, so who knows how trustworthy it really is. However, isn’t it interesting how people questioned whether Bonds was selected into the All-Star Game on legitimate terms and now we might have a logical answer for how he leapfrogged Alfonso Soriano in a mater of days for a starting spot? Hmm…conspiracy theorists everywhere just pitched a tent.

This is the problem with fan voting for All-Star Games. It’s just like how Yao Ming gets into the NBA All-Star Game with the gazillion of votes logged by China every year. IF this story is true, you knew it was only a matter of time before some geek figured out how to rig All-Star voting.
