WOO HOO!!!!! Bonds not going to the Hall!
Barry Bonds announced yesterday that if the #756 baseball is entered into the baseball Hall of Fame with an asterisk then he will boycott the building and any ceremony should he be inducted. This is awesome. First off, he should never be inducted in my opinion. I hope he never sets foot into the building, he doesn't deserve it. I can't stand this steroid monkey. Now I know he hasn't ever been tested positive and has never admitted to taking steroids, but come on folks. It is ssssoooooooo obvious that he took steroids that he might as well just admit it and get it over with.
In case you hadn't heard, Mark Echo (the fashion giant)bought the baseball and had fans vote for what to do with it. The choices were:
1. Blast it into space.
2. Mark it with an asterisk. Then give it to the Hall of Fame.
3. Give it to the Hall of Fame unmarked.
Well, as you have probably guessed, option number 2 won the fan voting. The Hall of Fame has said it would take the ball, which is what prompted this wonderful response from the anti-Christ himself.

Baseball Awards
American League
MVP--Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees--This is a no-brainer. He may be a Yankee, but he had an incredible season and without him in the Yankee lineup they would never have even sniffed the playoffs.
Rookie of the Year--Delmon Young, Tampa Bay Devil Rays--This was a close one. I ended up giving it to Young because he had the better numbers overall. Pedroia would have gotten the award if the post season were included. Matsuzaka would have received it had he had a better W-L record and a lower WHIP.
Cy Young--Josh Beckett, Boston Red Sox--Close one between Sabathia, Carmona, Lackey, and Beckett. I gave it to Beckett because he won 20 games and was lights out in almost every start he had this year.
Manager of the Year--Terry Francona, Boston Red Sox--WORLD SERIES CHAMPION! 'Nuff said.
National League
MVP--Matt Holliday, Colorado Rockies--Could have gone to Jimmy Rollins (Phillies) or even Prince Fielder (Brewers), but I thought Holliday meant more to the Rockies than the other two did to their respective clubs. Without Holliday the Rockies don't make the playoffs. Sure Hawpe, Helton, Atkins all had decent years, but none of them had the season Matt had. Rollins had Howard and Utley who both had monstrous years as well and Fielder had good stats, but couldn't carry his team when they needed him to.
Rookie of the Year--Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies--Troy had a ginormous year for a rookie, but so did Ryan Braun. The thing that put Tulo ahead in this race was his fielding. He committed only 11 errors, to Braun's 26, in over 800 chances and led the best fielding team in MLB history. Braun had some gaudy numbers considering he didn't come up until May, but Tulo's numbers were good as well and his fielding was far superior.
Cy Young--Jake Peavy, San Diego Padres--Only 19 game winner in NL and only starter with a sub 3.00 ERA. No one else was close for this one.
Manager of the Year--Clint Hurdle, Colorado Rockies--Clint did a masterful job in keeping the Rockies focused early in the season and mid-season when they had a 9 game losing streak.

And then there was one.....
BOSTON WINS THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!
Over the weekend the Boston Red Sox finished their dismantling of the Rockies for their second World Series title in 4 years. Matsuzaka and Lester pitched wonderful. Okajima had some trouble with Holliday and Atkins, but Papelbon, who I think should have won the MVP, shut down the Rockies to earn a save in both games.
Lowell had a great series, but I believe Papelbon deserved the MVP more. He came in the last three games and completely shut down the Rockies, allowing only a couple of hits and ZERO runs. Each game he pitched almost 2 innings and earned the save in all three games. Two of the games he protected a 1-run lead and kept the powerful Rockies lineup in check.
The Rockies were never really in any of the games. The score makes the games look closer than they actually were. Aside from some late inning heroics by Holliday, 3-run jack to make game 3 6-5 for about 2 seconds, and Atkins, 2-run jack to make game 4 4-3, the Rockies never looked like they were more than spectators. The bats never really got going and the pitching was mediocre at best overall. Jimenez in game 2 was great and Corpas seemed to be on, but the rest of the staff might as well have stayed in the bullpen for all the good they did.
I am very happy that I did not have to wait for another 86 years before my beloved Red Sox won another title.

As cool as the other side of the pillow
BOSTON WINS 2-1.
Schilling was as cool as the other side of the pillow. He went out and painted the corners and the lower part of the strike zone. When he missed it wasn't by much. Aside from a rough first inning he held the once powerful Rockies lineup to 4 hits in 6+ innings. Papejima then closed the rest of the game for Boston. Papelbon ended the 8th inning with a beautiful pick-off of Matt Holliday. Once again it is proven that great pitching wins playoff games. The BoSox bats were not in high gear last night but they scored just enough to win behind some lights out pitching.
I have to give Ubaldo Jimenez (Uba) credit for not looking like he was about to piss his pants. He was calm and composed the whole time he was on the mound. He started losing control of his pitches the more the BoSox made him work, but he never lost his composure. I was very impressed, as I have been the whole time he has been in the majors, with his performance. The bullpen pitched much better than in game 1 and kept the BoSox from adding to the lead.
The biggest problem for the Rockies right now is that they can't get their sticks (bats) going. Of course when you are swinging twigs instead of sticks it is hard to hit anything. Holliday, he went 4-4, was the only one who seemed to have returned from the time suck the Rockies have been in since the start of game 1, but he forgot you should never break towards the next base if the pitcher hasn't even thrown the ball yet.
Game 3 will be here at Coors Field and all the Bostonians making the trip will be highly disappointed with the beer selection. Coors Light flows from every nook and cranny within Coors Field. There are about 2 "Beers of the World" carts on the main concourse that will sell out of Sam Adams, and any other non piss-water beer, before the first pitch. Daisuke Matsuzaka will be on the mound for the BoSox and Josh Fogg will go for the Rockies. Dice-K is due for one of his uber performances and the BoSox bats will tear Fogg and his mediocre stuff apart. I predict another blow-out for game 3......Boston 11 Colorado 2.

A ginormous can of "Woop Ass"!
That is what Beckett opened up on the Rockies last night. "Oh shit!!!" was the general expression on the faces of the Rockies players as they attended their first ever World Series game. I say attended because you can't really call their performance last night as playing--at least not on a professional level. Beckett and the Sox demoralized the Rockies 13-1 in what was a close game until it started. Beckett struck out the side in the top of the first and Boston scored 3 times in the bottom of the first to ice the game.
Beckett was the lights out pitcher he has been his whole post season career, mowing down rocky after rocky and then calmly walking off the field. Atkins and Helton shook the cobwebs out enough to get a few hits, but the over-matched Rockies never really threatened Beckett and couldn't seem to figure out he was throwing mostly fastballs.
Pedroia became the first rookie to EVER lead off the World Series with a home run and that was just the beginning of the end of game 1. Every single BoSox starter had an RBI, except Lowell, and a hit, except Ellsbury. By the 5th inning they had set the record for most extra base hits in a World Series game with 9.
Now I know the Rockies had 8 days off to dread their impending doom to the American League Champion, but that is no excuse for forgetting how to play baseball. They did practice and have simulated games, which is more than I do for my job when I am on vacation yet I still manage to remember how to work.
Francis found out what it was like to make mistake pitches to a team that can actually hit the ball. Arizona couldn't hit the ass end of an elephant with a beach ball let alone a baseball. Philadelphia had the same problem the Rockies had last night, they just had there "Oh shit!!!!!" reaction in the Division Series.
Morales came in and thought each inning only needed two outs instead of three. He quit pitching after the second out and the BoSox dropped 7 runs on the board. Of course Morales probably didn't expect Speier to walk home three of the people he put on base. Speier decided to pull a Rick Ankiel and walk everybody he faced giving the BoSox 13 runs, 11 of which came with 2 outs.
The Rockies came to Fenway last night rested and relaxed right up until game time. Then they took their seats and watched Beckett pitch ridonculously. The Rockies were not effected by an 8 day lay-off. What happened is they got handed an old fashioned beat-down. A ginormous can of "Woop-Ass" was opened up by the BoSox.
Schilling will be pitching for the BoSox tonight against Ubaldo Jimenez. The can of "Woop Ass" Schilling uses is a bit smaller than Beckett's these days, but it is still enough to beat the lowly Rockies. The Rockies are sending another rookie to the mound, Morales was the first one, to be slaughtered by the powerful BoSox lineup. Jimenez had to be sent out early in last night's game to find his own can of "Woop Ass" for tonight. Apparently the Rockies didn't think Jimenez could handle the sight of Beckett's can and didn't want to subject him to the horrors of the BoSox hitters. The BoSox should take care of business again tonight and win by the score of 9-6.

FUCK the Rockies!!!!!
I was all set to root for the home team and my second favorite team, the Colorado Rockies, even though they are playing my favorite team, the Boston Red Sox, in the World Series. I have been a Boston fan for 24 years and a Rockies fan for 10. I was ecstatic when both teams made the World Series.
All I needed now was a World Series ticket. For the past two days I have been trying to access the shit-ass ticket broker the Rockies chose to use, some lame-ass company based in California. My wife and I were both trying to access the site in order to buy 2 tickets to game 3. If the site had stayed up and we just had not been able to get in then it wouldn't bother me, but no, the dumb-ass Rockies had to open up the online ticket buying to everyone in the fucking world. The server gets bombarded on Monday and crashes, or does it? The Rockies claim to have been attacked......FUCKING DUH! They were attacked by 9Million rabid fans seeking World Series tickets. What did they think was going to happen, everybody was going to get a ticket and be merry? Monday ticket sales were stopped by the team after about 500 (mostly Bostonians) out of 60,000 were sold.
Tuesday begins the next quest for World Series bliss. The wife gets in to purchase tickets THREE times and the site locks up just long enough for the counter that holds your tickets to expire. "GET THE FUCK OUT" say the Rockies. "We didn't want your kind (a true fan) at the game anyway". So we keep trying even though our faces are red from being slapped by the Rockies repeatedly for two days. Eventually we hear they are selling 1500 tickets a minute and then all the games are sold out. What a bunch of shit.
So now due to the ineptitude of the front office of the Colorado Rockies I will be rooting for my favorite team. I am also considering NOT purchasing season tickets. This team apparently only cares about the bottom line. Now I know it is a business and making a profit is important in keeping the business around, but dammit fans are the reason the business stays in town. Without the support of fans, professional sports teams would be non-existent and once again the Monforts have let it be known that the fans don't matter.
I say everybody from Colorado boycott the World Series. Let all the Bostonians fly out here and cheer for my beloved Red Sox at Coors field and when Boston clinches their second World Series title in 4 years the Monforts can look around at the sea of red and wonder what happened. Where did the all the Rockies fans go? We went to the sports bars and the family room to watch the World Series with true friends and family.....because since we live in Colorado we couldn't get tickets.

Top 10 Pitchers of All-Time
10. Al Spalding & Jim "Pudd" Galvin--I am putting them both at number 10 because both were pre-1900 pitchers. Their combined stat line is out of this world. I think a lot of teams would kill to have a 1-2 punch with these numbers.
W/L/%--617/375/62.2, GS/CG/CG%--1014/926/91.3, WHIP--1.19, ERA--2.59
9. Steve Carlton--Probably the second greatest lefty of all time.
329W, 4136K, 7.13K/9
8. Roger Clemens--Roger's stats are right on par with the "old-timers". Twice struck out 20 in a game. 7 Cy Young awards. A bit eccentric anymore. He used to be my favorite pitcher until he started his "I only pitch half the season, can leave the team whenever I am not pitching and I want 2-3M per start" shit. Now I think he is a pompous asshole, but one hell of a pitcher.
349W, 66.1W%, 4619K, 8.61K/9, 2.98K/BB
7. Nolan Ryan--Nolan Ryan was the most over-powering pitcher of all-time. He walked a butt-load of batters, but struck-out a crap-load. Was virtually unhittable (under 4000 hits allowed in over 5300 IP)His W-L record doesn't reflect his dominance. Was 8 losses shy of becoming only the third pitcher ever with 300 wins and 300 losses.
5714K, 9.55K/9, 324W
6. Eddie Plank--Dominating pitcher from the early 1900's. Won 20+ games 8 times in his career. Completed almost 78% of his games.
326W, 1.12WHIP, 2.35ERA
5. Sandy Koufax--The best lefty ever. Career was cut short due to arm problems from throwing the screwball too much.
65.5W%, 2.79ERA, 9.28K/9, 2.93K/BB, 1.11WHIP
4. Grover Alexander--Sic 2.17 career ERA in over 5000 IP. Tied for third most wins of all time.
373W, 2.17ERA, 1.12WHIP
3. Walter Johnson--Second all time in wins. Great pitcher. Only one of two pitchers to win over 400 games. Tied for best WHIP of all time.
417W, 2.17ERA, 1.06WHIP, 3508K
2. Christy Mathewson--Gets the nod over Walter because he pitched me two perfect games during the playoffs in an "Earl Weaver baseball" league during college.
373W, 1.06WHIP, 2.13ERA
1. Cy Young--Was there any doubt about this one. Only pitcher to win 500+ games. The best pitcher award is named after him. He completed almost 92% of the games he started. Won 30+ games 19 years in a row, 40+ in 15 years of that streak, and 50+ 5 times (including 4 years in a row). Can't argue with those stats. One of only two pitchers ever to win over 300 and lose over 300 (Galvin is the other).

Friday "Stupid Fucker" List
--Barry Bonds, aka the Anti-Christ
--Michelle Wie
--Real Madrid
--The Anti-Christ tested positive for amphetamines, or 'greenies'. This comes as no surprise to me since he is a druggie, as far as I'm concerned. He even went so far as to blame his positive test on a teammate, saying he taken the 'greenies' from this person's locker. The next day he apologizes to said teammate, doesn't deny taking the 'greenies', just that he didn't get them from the locker. What a class a asshole. Everyone knows you don't air out whatever goes on in the clubhouse, good or bad, in public.
Drugs, steroids, cocaine and 'greenies', have been around baseball for the better part of three decades or more. Until 2002 though only cocaine was illegal and against the rules. In 2002, steroids and amphetamines were put on the banned list. The Anti-Christ, being the class act that he is, can't just go down the tubes by himself. No, he has to take someone with him. First it was Greg Anderson giving him the steroids unbeknownst to the Anti-Christ, now it is Mark Sweeney giving him amphetamines. Anderson is in jail and Sweeney gets an apology. Where is Anderson's apology? The Anti-Christ did not seem to learn too well from the demise of Pete Rose. If Rose had admitted to betting on baseball about 10 years before he did then the part of the public that is baseball fans would have forgiven him and he would be in the Hall of Fame now. If the Anti-Christ had admitted he took the steroids within a year of the allegations then he would have been forgiven in the public eye. Stupid Fucker.
--Michelle Wie needs to get her scrawny ass back onto the LPGA. When are her parents going to figure out that she can't cut it on the PGA? They have pushed her and pushed her to become a great golfer, but her greatness will never be known until they get it through their heads that she can't compete on the men's tour. She would rival Annika Sorenstam at the top of every tournament on the LPGA. Stupid Fucker!
--Real Madrid benched Beckham and is letting Ronaldo leave the team. What kind of idiot benches one of the best players in the world and lets another top player leave? Apparently Spanish idiots do this. Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello benched the English star after he signed a 5yr, $250M contract with the LA Galaxy, that begins in August (his contract with Real Madrid ends in June). Capello also benched Ronaldo in a recent game and is pretty stupid for doing so. Beckham is one of the most dangerous kickers on free kicks and can play the middle of the field very well. Ronaldo may have had some injuries this season, but he is still one of the best players in the world. Stupid Fuckers!
That's it for this week. A short list, but it should pick up again next week.

The Weekly "Stupid Fucker" List
The weekly "stupid fucker" list will be moving to Fridays. That being typed, here is the list.
Brady 'crybaby' Quinn--What a loser this fucking guy is. He wins the 'Golden Arm' award (best senior quarterback) and the Maxwell award (best college football player), yet can't beat any team that has won more than like 2 games in the history of the school (except Navy which has won 5 games in its history). How the hell can this guy be the best college player and quarterback if he can't do anything but shit his diaper in a big game. He has good stats the past 2 years (7345 yds, 69TDs, and 14 interceptions), but was completely lousy against any good team. Good luck to whatever NFL team lands this gem of a player. Stupid fucker!
MLB Owners--Money, money, money, mmoonneeyy.....MONEY! The owners are like starving kids in a candy store. Here are the ten worst signings of the hot stove, in no particular order (and not necessarily because the player is bad).
1--Gary Matthews Jr.--5yrs/$50M--$10M a year for an over the hill has been outfielder that hasn't knocked in more than 80 runs in a year and won't last the whole contract
2--Gil Meche--5yrs/$55M--$11M a year for this guy? Who the fuck is Gil Meche and what has he done to be worth $11M a year. He must be a 20-game winner...NOPE. A big strikeout pitcher....Not a chance. A workhorse....Whatever. He is barely an average pitcher that should be making closer to the league minimum rather than $11M a year.
3--Andy Pettite--1yr/$16M--Another over the hill pitcher getting way more than he is worth. I know pitching is hard to come by, but come on.
4--Jason Schmidt--3yrs/$47M--This would be a good contract if Schmidt didn't have health issues. The Dodgers will be lucky to get 1 full good year out of all three.
5--Frank Thomas--2yrs/$18M--Thomas is like 800 years old. I know he just had a good season, but do you really think he will do it again? I predict he will get injured again and won't even be able to finish this contract.
6--Jim Edmonds--2yrs/$19M--Jim was a great ballplayer, but now he is just an above average player. Not worth the $9.5M a year he will be getting.
7--Nomar Garciaparra--2yrs/$18.5M--If he wasn't so injury-prone this might actually be a good deal for the Dodgers. Too bad he spends more time on the DL than my wife spends on the Internet (even if it is research, she is always on).
8--Barry Zito--7yrs/$126M--I think his first two years will be above average, but then his body will start to break down from all the innings he has pitched over the last few years(200+IP in each of the last 6 years).
9--Ted Lilly--4yrs/$40M--$10M a year for a .500 pitcher and an career ERA of almost 5.00. Give me a break.
10--Randy Wolf--1yr/$8M--WHAT?!? $8M for a barely average pitcher that has given up almost one HR per game pitched (157HR/194G) and has a strikeout to walk ratio of barely over 2 K's per walk (971K/437BB).
MLB owners are just plain stupid. Stupid Fuckers.
Arizona Diamondbacks--How stupid do you have to be to trade for a pitcher that makes more than the owner and is older than the entire pitching staff combined? Pretty stupid if you ask me. The Spankees must be eating their cake that they found some sucker team to take this old has-been off their hands with minimal cost to them. Randy Johnson will make $16M this year ($14M paid by Arizona and the other $2M by the Spankees). He will allow far too many runs for the less than potent Arizona offense to help him to the 15+ wins the Spankee offense helped him get. I know he is a fan favorite in Arizona, but come on, this is far too high a price tag just for that. Stupid Fuckers!
Well, that is it for this week. Hope you liked it.

Year End "Stupid Fucker" List
The last "Stupid Fucker" list of 2006 will be the 10 biggest "Stupid Fuckers" in the world of sports as determined by me. These are in no particular order.
- The Anti-Christ
- Terrell Owens
- Justin Gatlin
- Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong
- Ohio State Football Coach Jim Tressell
- Brady Quinn and Notre Dame Football
- MLB Owners and GMs
- The BCS System
- Zinedine Zidane
- The Houston Texans
1-The Anti-Christ, also known as Barry Bonds. The Anti-Christ is my most hated baseball player of all time and probably will be forever. I don't hate the Anti-Christ as a person, I have never met it, but I loathe it as a baseball player. To basically take the record book and wipe your ass with it is the most despicable thing that can be done as far as I am concerned (it barely beats out spitting on another player). Barry Bonds was having a Hall of Fame career before he became the Anti-Christ, he was the sole member of the 500-500 club (500 career Home Runs and 500 career steals). This almost assured him a spot in the Hall especially considering he was still playing and had a good 5-10 years to go, baring injury of course. Apparently being a shoe in to the Hall of Fame was not good enough for this FUCKER. Nope, not the Anti-Christ. He sees other players getting records and taking the spotlight off of him so he decides he NEEDS to take roids and start breaking records. After getting caught, the Anti-Christ claims to not have known about any illegal activity and totally denies EVER to have taken any form of roids. WHAT A STUPID FUCKING LIAR. The Anti-Christ used to be solidly built, nothing spectacular, but had good power and was quick. Now it has ballooned into a ginormously large head and neck and bulked up faster than humanly possible. Injuries were just shaken off until it had to pretend it wasn't using anymore. Once the body was off the junk the injuries lingered. Make no mistake, the Anti-Christ went from a great, maybe one of the greatest, baseball player to a junkie has been that only the stupid fuckers of San Francisco can stand. It can still hit the ball and will eventually break the most hallowed record in the books, if it can find the record underneath the Hershey stain it has left on the book, unless it suffers a career-ending injury (PLEASE INJURE THIS STUPID FUCKER). I have no problem with the record getting broken that is what happens to records, but I have a problem with the Anti-Christ breaking it. STUPID FUCKER!
2-We go from the most disrespectful baseball player to the most disrespectful football player. Terrell Owens is a loud, obnoxious, stupid fucking wide receiver that only cares about what he is getting out of any situation regardless of the consequences to the people around him. He admittedly falls asleep in team meetings, doesn't show up for practice, alligator arms passes thrown to him if he doesn't drop the pass outright. His rise to "Stupid Fucker" status was complete when he spit in the face of DeAngelo Hall, my boy from Virginia Tech. How disrespectful and uncaring about another human being can you be? To top things off after admitting that he committed the act, he then realizes it was not caught on tape so he denied it the next day. What a piece of work this stupid fucker is. Owens does not respect anybody (player, coach, ex-player, regular person, fan, etc....) and cares not what harm his actions could cause anybody, except himself. He just wants to be in the spotlight, whether that is positive or negative, he doesn't care. As long as no-one forgets him or gets more headlines than him he is happy. STUPID FUCKER!
3-Justin, Justin, Justin....what the fuck were you thinking? Another good example of a world class athlete that for some stupid reason feels the need to take a performance enhancer. In May of 2006 Justin Gatlin ran the fastest time in history in the 100m dash----9.77 seconds. WOW! WAIT!!!!!!!!!! He tested positive for testosterone on April 22nd, 2006 and ended up with an 8 year ban. What the fuck?!? Are any of the records in sports not drug-enhanced? I was ecstatic when Justin won the 100m dash at the Olympic Games in Athens. Now I am just disappointed and confused as to why he would do something like this. STUPID FUCKER!
4-The Tour de France is probably the most gruelling race of any kind in sports. To win this race is an achievement that a person should be extremely proud of. Winning it more than once is just incredible. Only 18 cyclists have ever won the race more than once. Only the last 2 (Armstrong 7 times and Landis in 2006) have been accused of doping. I say strip them both of their titles (all of them) and give it to the next person in line that didn't dope. Fuck 'em all for doping. Strip this prominent title away from the cheaters that didn't earn it and give it to the rightful winners whoever they may be. STUPID FUCKERS!
5-Jim Tressell is a great football coach. He is also an idiot. After voting in and influencing the polls for the first 14 weeks of the college football season, ol' Jimbo here decides that his vote would not be missed in the final poll (the one that publishes the coaches vote's) and does not complete his. He based this decision on not wanting to influence who his team played in the national championship game. Well dumbass you have already done that by voting in the previous 14. I think he just didn't want people to see which team he was afraid of facing in the national championship game. I hope Florida kicks Ohio State's ass. Ohio State should just hide behind their coach and stay in Ohio in the pit of cowardice their coach has dug for them. STUPID FUCKER!
6-So Brady "Crybaby" Quinn thinks the critics are giving the Notre Dame football program an unfair rap. He is tired of the criticism from the media and doesn't like hearing all the critics say how much his team stinks. Well miss Quinn it is time to shit or get off the pot. You have one game to prove that your team is even remotely good. #4 LSU is all that stands between you and being the #1 pick in next years NFL draft (although I would put you as a mid-late first rounder personally). Beat #4 LSU and the fact you played like a huge pile of elephant shit in the only two games against good teams (Michigan and USC) will disappear. Make sure you change your diaper before you take the field against LSU or you will be swimming in shit yet again. STUPID FUCKER!
7-The contracts that have been handed out to mediocre players this off-season is ludicrous. Give the owners and GM's some money to play with and they will spend every dime of it on players that should be making half as much. I mean come on $10M- Gary Matthews Jr, $11M- Ted Lilly and Gil Meche, $16M-The Anti-Christ, $16+M- Jason Schmidt, $16.6M- Carlos Lee, $16M- Andy Pettite, $8.8M-Juan Pierre, $17M-Alfonso Soriano, $9M-Frank Thomas, $9.5M-Jim Edmonds, $9.25M-Nomar Garciaparra, $10.5M-Tom Glavine, $14.6M-Aramis Ramirez to name some. These contracts are out of this world. All of these players are aging or injury prone and are going to have a hard time living up to these contracts. I bet in 2-3 years we see most if not all of these contracts on the trading block. Show some restraint owners/GMs. The fans want to win, but not at the cost of the future of their team. STUPID FUCKERS!
8-The BCS System is terrible yet again this year. Although this year the computers are not to blame. This year we can thank the coaches and media for the controversy. Michigan or Florida? Who knows, I agree with Florida getting their shot, but you could make a good argument for Michigan as well, their only loss came AT Ohio State and that by only three points. Florida lost to then #11 Auburn, a bitter rival. Other than that one game, they won every SEC game they played, including the championship. They beat LSU, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Some say the National Champion needs to win their conference/conference championship game. I agree with that--winning their conference should be a requirement. I also think that the Coaches poll should publish the way a coach votes for the entire year (not just the last week). This would prevent coaches from changing their votes for no apparent reason for the last poll. If their vote's are published they could be called out as to why they moved a team above another one. STUPID FUCKING SYSTEM!
9-Way to use your head asshole! Zinedine Zidane, for those of you who do not follow soccer, decided that trash talking against his family, friends, fans, dog, cat, french teacher, etc... was punishable with a head butt directly to the sternum of Italian player Marco Materazzi. This could have seriously injured Marco, but whether or not Marco got injured is not the reason Zizou made this list. Zizou is regarded as one of the greatest soccer players of all time. He was always considered a fair player and won FIFA World Player of the Year a record tying 3 times. Real Madrid paid an astounding 66M Euros in a transfer fee to get him to their team. No other transfer fee in history has come close to this sum. So why would he jeopardize such an astonishing career by getting red-carded in the final match (the WORLD CUP FINAL at that) of his storied career for head-butting another player? Good question and as far as I am concerned there is no good answer. He should have let whatever was said go and finish the match. France ended up losing that match to Italy. Largely in part to the fact that their best player and spiritual leader was not on the pitch. STUPID FUCKER!
10-The Houston Texans are complete idiots for not taking Reggie Bush as the #1 pick in last year's NFL draft. Not that Mario Williams is a bad player, but he is not the impact player that Reggie is. Reggie is an all around player that would have brought a new dimension to the Texans offense. At least he would have been a great outlet for David Carr to dump the ball off to before he got plastered into the turf. The Texans would rather see Carr looking to the sky (sacked and on his back)than provide him with serious offensive threat. Good thing they still suck so they can maybe get a lesser player with their first round pick this year. STUPID FUCKERS!
Well, there you have it, the 10 stupidest fuckers in the world of sports, as far as I am concerned, for this year. GO VIRGINIA TECH!!!!!

The Anti-christ is a GIANT!!
Barry Bonds has re-signed with the San Francisco Giants. What a shame for baseball this is. Now barring injury (SOMEONE INJURE THIS FUCKER) the Anti-Christ will become the all-time home run champion. It is only 22 home runs away from breaking the hallowed record set by the immortal Henry Aaron. The record that Henry Aaron broke with dignity and poise in a time when the entire baseball world was against his breaking of the record. He took all the criticism in stride and broke the most revered record of all time--Babe Ruth's record of 714 home runs in a career. Aaron finished with 755. Now the Anti-Christ is about to break this most sacred of records while juicing out his body on steroids. He may not have been doing them the last year or so, but if he hadn't done them at all he would not even be close to the all-time record. He probably would have passed his god-father Willie Mays (660 career HRs), but he would not have eclipsed the 700 mark I do not believe. Assuming no body steps up to injure this fucking asshole to keep him from breaking the record, the all-time hits king and the all-time home run king will not be in the Hall of Fame (Pete Rose is the all-time hits king with 4256 hits). So watch for the Anti-Christ to commit a most heinous act when it breaks the all-time home run record. I hope that Major League Baseball does not make a huge deal over this. If they do, they will be taking several steps backwards in their fight against steroids. SOMEONE PLEASE INJURE THE ANTI-CHRIST SO IT CAN NOT BREAK THE RECORD.

Baseball Hall of Fame
I heard today that only 25% of the voters would vote Mark McGwire into the Hall of Fame. That is ludicrous, the man hit 583 HRs. Sure there is speculation that he used performance enhancers, but why start judging players for their off field behaviors now? Ty Cobb allegedly MURDERED a man. Mr. Cobb would also sharpen his spikes so that when he slid into a base he could spike the player covering the bag with intent to injure. Does this sound like a player with good sportsmanship habits? I am not saying Ty Cobb shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame, he most definately should, but if he was not judged by his behaviors why should Mark McGwire? Babe Ruth, the greatest player EVER (fuck Barry Bonds), was an alcoholic, as was Mickey Mantle, but these two are in the hall deservedly so. What about the infamous leaded and unleaded coffee that was available in clubhouses around the majors in the 70's and 80's, or the greenies (uppers) available throughout the 70's in the clubhouses? None of these players were criticized for this or not voted in as a result of it. Mark McGwire averaged a HR every 10.6 at-bats. That is the best of any player ever. The Babe is next with an average of a HR every 11.7 at-bats. Here is a list of the top ten all-time HR leaders and their average number of at-bats/HR:
Henry Aaron--12364ab, 755hr, 16.38ab/hr
Barry Bonds(fucker)--9507ab, 734hr, 12.95ab/hr
Babe Ruth--8399ab, 714hr, 11.76ab/hr
Willie Mays--10881ab, 660hr, 16.49ab/hr
Sammy Sosa--8401ab, 588hr, 14.29ab/hr
Frank Robinson--10006ab, 586hr, 17.08ab/hr
Mark McGwire--6187ab, 583hr, 10.61ab/hr
Harmon Killebrew--8147ab, 573hr, 14.22ab/hr
Rafael Palmiero--10472ab, 569hr, 18.40ab/hr
Ken Griffey Jr--8298ab, 563hr, 14.74ab/hr
Reggie Jackson--9864ab, 563hr, 17.52ab/hr
As you can see McGwire has a better average than anybody in the top 10. I hate Barry Bonds, but I would vote him in based on his numbers (until the fact that he took steroids is proven--then he should never get in as far as I am concerned). Who is to say what the players of the past did to improve their game. For all I know Lou Gehrig was hooked on speed (or his era's equivalent) and jacked up before every game. I don't know and neither does anybody else, but he is in the Hall of Fame. All the players that have been voted into the Hall of Fame have been voted in based on their stats alone. This is how it should continue. I do not condone cheating, which is what Pete Rose and anybody that has taken performance enhancers has done, but unless it is proven that the player cheated (or admitted to cheating---see Pete Rose) they should not be judged based on speculation. Vote Mark McGwire into the Hall of Fame.
