Yankees Fans are Getting what they Deserve

I have no problem with being annoyed with players on a team. I do it almost everyday! (Todd Wellemeyer, I am staring straight at you) But when you chose one of the best players on your team to rag on, that's when it bugs me.

Alex Rodriguez has spent the past few months as the sports world's red headed step child, getting smacked all over the place for his lack of "clutchiness." Yankee fans have one of the best (if not the best) third basemen on their team, and yet they continued to rag on him and diss on him as if he's Angel Berroa. That makes me angry.

I guess it's made A-Rod angry, too, because he's already hit 14 home runs, accumulated 37 RBI, an OBP of .427 and his SLG is .835. He's doing everything he can to win games for his team, and they are at dead last in their division. Not only that, they've only won 2 more games than the Royals.

Welcome to the club, Yankee fans. Welcome to a team that, despite a few positive contributions, can't put it together. I bet you feel pretty stupid for dissing on him now, right? Because I know I would be. And if you're not feeling stupid and still feel like he's the worst player on your team, just send him our way. He's too good to have fans of his team treating him like shit.

TGFH: Thank God For Hotties!

In what is a somewhat cliche move for the female blog genre, I'd like to welcome you all to the first edition of TGFH. Every Friday, I'll pick a hottie (single or otherwise) that deserves some recognition. No repeating of teams until each team has their first DH (designated hottie), and only one DH per week. So let's go ahead and get started!

Our first Designated Hottie hails from Seattle, Washington. Born Augst 2nd, 1982, this center field hottie knows how to work it in the batter's box: 59 career home runs, 192 RBIs, and a total of 431 hits.

And according to his MLB.com profile, this 6'2 tall southpaw, weighing in at 200 lbs, is on the MLB eligable bachelor list (there's no Lady hanging on his arm...yet). I don't know if this is valid, but I do know that he makes the Cleveland Indians lineup look a lot hotter when he's out doing his thang.

Can you guess who this DH is?



If you guessed Grady Sizemore, you are correct!

Props to Grady's Ladies. Y'all are a classy bunch.

No RISPect

The Royals, despite their lagging 9-19 record, have been getting quite a few men on base. During tonight's game alone, the Boys in Blue recorded 10 hits without getting one man across home plate. Luckily for the Royals Esteban German came through and hit a three run shot to bring in win number 9, but how many games have they been in that have turned from hopeful to heartbreaking as quick as a back to back strikeout of Alex Gordon and Tony Peña Jr?

Of course, that's not to say that Dayton Moore isn't trying. Yesterday brought the Major League Debut of Billy Butler, one of the Royals' top prospects. At a mere 21 years of age, this rookie has shown comfort at the AAA level and is showing a pretty confident level of competence at the plate up in the bigs.

The future has a hopeful glimmer to it (that's barely visible from where I stand). With the way things are going as of right now though, Royals fans have slim pickings for their poison: weak ground outs, fly outs, double plays, and a team favorite: the strikeout.
