What ever happened to just playing baseball when you’re at a baseball field?
Kids these days!

There’s a horrible misconception out there that mixed martial arts is a “bloodsport.” Yeah, yeah, yeah; we know it can be difficult to watch at times for some, but the sport has evolved in recent years. It’s grace, skill, agility and…aw, who are we kidding? We watch it for stuff like this:
“If you’re sliding into first and you
feel something burst…”
We’ve heard of some strange injuries in our time, but Kaz Matsui might have just stolen the cake. The Astros second baseman is out of action with…wait for it…wait for it…an anal fissure! We don’t know what the hell that is exactly or how you get them (and we don’t want to know), but according to the guys at RotoWorld.com it is “an unnatural tear or crack in the anus skin.” Yep, that’ll keep you from running.
Astros second baseman Kaz Matsui is expected to miss four or five days after being diagnosed with a condition known as anal fissure.
Matsui, who returned to central Florida on Monday night, will go through individual workouts at the team facility but will not play until at least Friday. Doctors have prescribed a different medication to help alleviate the problem.
Suddenly, falling off you truck, violently sunburning yourself, throwing out your back via a sneeze and getting caught up in a tarp don’t seem all that bad.

There’s really only one way to learn how to pull off a backflip and that’s the hard way.
We’re not the biggest volleyball fans in the world, but for some reason we always seem to find ourselves on the edges of our seats whenever we come across a match. We’ll sit motionless and stare for hours in anticipation of that perfect, glorious moment when one player makes an ideal set and another soars above the net and delivers a 100 mph spike right into their opponents’ grill.
It’s basically the slam dunk of the volleyball world and there’s no sympathy in slamming or spiking – you get a facial and you will get laughed at.

When good dunks go bad
Dwight Howard thrilled the world over the weekend by putting together a series of dunks that will be talked about for months and years to come. Apparently, that got the guys at on 205th thinking and they put together “The 22 Worst Dunks Ever”. Great idea, but somewhat sloppily executed considering there are only 13! Anyways, it’s still a great compilation worth checking out. Here are two of our favs:

We’ve always known that Gilbert Arenas was a strange cat. A really strange cat. The dude has absolutely no filter and never feels an ounce of shame for the words that come out of his mouth. In a way, it’s admirable and shows a level high level of self confidence and comfort with himself. On the other hand, when someone will say anything about anything to anyone it can be more than anyone really wants to hear. And we’re not just referring to boring plans for his birthday plans.
Woke up screaming three days later, huh? Why do we get the feeling your honesty is going to have the same effect on us?

It’s Friday and that means the week is winding down and the weekend is just getting fired up. So, here’s a little something to get your spirits up while you wait for those final hours of the work week to tick-tock off the clock.
And just like that, four minutes closer to freedom.
Think you’re having a bad day? Sorry, chum; that’s not a bad day. THIS is a bad day:

Something to be thankful for
Thanksgiving always has a way of creeping up on us, but this year we actually remembered before the Wednesday night prior to the big day. So, considering that we’re in the seasonal spirit a bit early this year, we thought we’d bring you a video you can be thankful for. At least you can be thankful that you’re not any of the people in the video.
All right, can I get a drumstick now?
