Well, I Guess It's Better Than Catching A Foul Ball

The guys and gals over at Letters Of Note ran this glorious piece back in February. When asked what his favorite Yankee Stadium memory was back in 1972, the Mick responded, "I got a blow-job under the right field Bleachers, by the Yankee Bull pen." The man not only lived a boy's dream of playing professional baseball but also a man's dream of getting blown during a baseball game. That, my friends, is an American hero.

We Be Pimpin', Thanks To You

Today marks our seventh day up and blogging.  As of this post we have been read in nine countries (USA, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Australia, Latvia, Philippines, Singapore) and have over 730 views (600 from our parents).  It is cool to start something for fun and then have some sort of success, regardless of how small it may be.  We hope that as we keep writing you keep reading and showing your friends. Thanks.

Love,

Player Wives

Jennie Finch, come on down! Of course you know Jennie Finch. Not from her softball playing days at Arizona, or winning a gold medal, or being the face of an entire sport, or her just overall smokeshow body. You know her because she is married to MLB roster black hole Casey Daigle. I'm sure you're asking, "Who?"... and so are we.

I played Little League, Jennie. Why don't you give me a shot?

Quote Of The Day

We're going to have some fun with the quote of the day and do it via video. Here is a video the younger kids might not remember but is pure gold for us slightly older guys, taken from a time when basketball coaches were men and not railing women on restaurant tables.

Eyeopener - The Empire Strikes Back (NSFW)

-Darth James scored nine points over the last 4:27 to give Miami the win and take home-court advantage away from DRose and Da Bulls. The 85-75 win showed the Heat can take a punch and keep coming after getting coldcocked in game one. Besides BronBron and Dwyane Wade stepping up, Miami got some help from Udonis Haslem as he scored 13 points prompting Heat ringleader Erik Spoelstra to praise Haslem as, "an absolute championship warrior." Whatever the fuck that is.

-Hockey sometimes puts up a fun football score and we're not talking about a Miami/Pittsburgh 3-0 pillow fight. The Vancouver Canucks hung a touchdown with the point after good (suck on that, Graham Gano.) on the Sharks who mustered a Marty Schottenheimer pleasing field goal to win 7-3. The highlight of the game go came as Ben Eager was greeted in the penalty box by a "eager" (sorry, sorry) fan.

-The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Houston Astros 5-1 last night but not before losing Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman to slight discomforts in their quadriceps and steroid injection areas respectively . I'm sure they're okay.

-Fucking Rockies lose 2-1 to the Phillies after a past ball and wild pitch move the only two runs into or further into scoring position. Fuck.

-Boston beat the Tigers 1-0 in what must have been a painting-drying-boring game. The bigger news out of Boston is that Dice-K is out a month or more (we're going to say more.) with, "a sprained ulnar collateral ligament and strained flexor, an injury that when severe enough often results in Tommy John tendon transfer surgery." Have fun with that.

-THE NEW YORK YANKEES ARE GOING TO WIN THE FUCKING WORLD SERIES AFTER A DOMINATING 4-1 WIN IN BALTIMORE (that took 15 innings)! From now on I'm writing every Yankee blurb in the Eyeopener in typical New York City hyperbole, a phenom that everyone else hates and New Yorkers don't seem to realize. (Hint: it's why 99% of the world hates native New Yorkers.)

-Jamie McCourt is demanding the LA Dodgers are sold pronto.

-Speaking of the Dodgers, the Giants were back in town since the horrific beating of Bryan Stow. The guys from the Bay Area won 8-5 but the bigger victory belongs to Stow who is making slow but steady progress in his recovery. Fucking right on.

-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wants a statue, and he wants it NOW. The former Lakers star says he feels "slighted" for not having his own personal shrine. If built, the statue will have to be cordoned off so no can touch it for it would immediately begin to complain to anyone nearby he was fouled.
