Eyeopener - The Heimlich And A Door Prize For Chicago


-Sweet Jesus, Chicago.  Did Russell Westbrook give you a pep talk in a late huddle and tell you how to close out games?  You were the second-to-last line of between LeBronalypse and you failed us.  You lost 83-80, blew a 12 point lead, and your superstar went MIA in the fourth quarter again?  Thanks for nothing.  Your consolation prize is at the door.  (It's a steaming pile of shit, like the one you laid last night.)

-Buster Posey, he of the vicious collision yesterday, will likely be out for the rest of the season.  Posey suffered a broken leg and ligament damage in his ankle that will require surgery.  While the play at the plate was a clean play, some have questioned the necessity of the play itself or if the rule should be changed.  We here at That Guy! belief the play was not only clean play but a part of baseball that should remain.  Just like takeout slides and throwing at batters, it is a physical part of the game that has its place and should remain.  And how did the Giants do without young Buster?   They lost 1-0 to the Fish.

-Did MLB institute the mercy rule we all encountered at least once in Little League?  The BoSox romped on the Tigers 14-1 in a run rain-shortened 8 inning affair.  Carl Crawford joined Yaz and the Splendid Splinter as the only Boston left fielder since 1940 to record four hits and in two triples in the same game.

-If any of the four major North American sports had the problems FIFA has, we as a continent would flip our shit.  Current FIFA president Sepp Blatter had a bribery investigation opened up against him yesterday after Mohamed bin Hammam accused Blatter knew of payments bin Hammam had given out; payments that FIFA is investigating as bribery.  The topper?  Bin Hammam and Blatter face of in an election next week for FIFA's presidency.

-Digital Roy Halladay is just as good as flesh and bones Roy Halladay.  Brian Kingrey, a 25 year old music teacher in Louisiana, was the first to pitch a perfect game in 2K11's perfect game challenge.  Halladay sat down 27 straight 'Stros to earn Kingrey a very large check for a million dollars.  He will now also get the chance to pitch against the real Astros and has approximately the same chance at pitching a perfect game against them.
