More painful baseball shenanigans

Remember when kids actually used batting cages as batting cages. Nowadays, these crazy whipper-snappers see the cage as one thing and one thing only: the perfect spot to create their Jackass audition tape.

Batting practice just got fun again

Some guys are just born lucky, growing up with all the advantages needed to help them become baseball legends, like Ken Griffey Jr. or Barry Bonds. Others kids aren’t so fortunate. In fact, some us couldn’t even afford balls when we aspiring big leaguers, but, hey, that’s what lil’ brothers are for.

Odds and Ends: Unfortunately, Marcus Vick’s hero is still his big brother

Marcus Vick was arrested early Thursday morning in Norfolk after taking police on a brief chase. Once the former Virginia Tech miscreant was captured, he was charged with driving under the influence and received citations for driving on the wrong side of the road, reckless driving, eluding police and driving on a suspended license before posting bond. And it all started over an argument with his ol’ lady.

According to the police report, a uniformed bicycle patrol officer saw Vick and Cordon sitting in a vehicle in the 200 block on Granby Street, having an apparent altercation. When the officer approached and asked Vick for his license, Vick fled the scene at a high rate of speed, police spokesman Chris Amos said. A description of the vehicle was broadcast, and Vick was pulled over a few minutes later.

As always, Marcus Vick said it was just an accident.

Wheelchairs and escalators do not go well together

We really thought the youth of America took a giant stride forward after invading a Bass Pro Shop and taking an unannounced dip in the manmade fishin’ pond, but turns out that when you stick them in a mall, they become total morons…as usual.

Pau Gasol and Rafael Nadal just love their timepieces

In addition to the much publicized Wipeout, ABC is ready to premier another of their newest reality show creations in just a couple of weeks. The show is titled I Survived a Japanese Game Show and it should provide a hearty helping of laughs as Americans try to compete in whacky Japanese-esque stunts and contests. However, after seeing Rafael Nadal’s and Pau Gasol’s performance in these Spanish TIMEFORCE commercials, we’re wondering if I Survived a Spanish Television Commercial might make for a more entertaining 30 minutes.

Example #2

Example #3

What will those nutty Spaniards think of next? Those spots make the old dancing Six Flags dude seem rather mundane.

Rick Sutcliffe has a one-track mind: Erin Andrews

We think Erin Andrews is the bee’s knees, baby, and we don’t care if the whole world knows it and apparently, neither does Rick Sutcliffe. During last night’s game between the Braves and the Cubbies, the topic of Andrews’ ensemble hit the booth and we’ll be damned if Sutcliffe just couldn’t contain himself, letting the whole world know exactly what was on his mind during batting practice earlier in the day. And it wasn’t his upcoming cancer surgery.

Odds and Ends: How well do you know Rajon Rondo?


You’d think Rajon Rondo would have enough on his plate as it is with the bum ankle and The NBA Finals going on and all, but Rondo is no normal man. See, while he’s rehabbing and studying tape, he’s also giving back to all his fans out there. But you better know your random Rondo trivia.

I’m going to challenge you with some trivia – see how much you know about me. Get the answers right and I’ll send you an autographed headband. If a bunch of people get them right then I’ll hit the first three. I’m going to do this every day through the rest of the Finals so if you don’t get the first one right you’ll have another shot.

We’ll start with a high school question. I went to Oak Hill Academy and 2004 I set the school record for most assists in a game with 31. Who’s record did I break?

Get it right and I’m sending you a headband. Hit me back. I’ll holla

Jeff Van Gundy is gold in the booth! Gold!

We never thought we’d say this, but we love Jeff Van Gundy! We can’t get enough of the guy and he is quickly climbing our list of former annoyances turned into priceless gold. In fact, if he keeps this up, he’ll soon be joining Jim Rome and Bill Walton right at the top. After all, who else can slaughter Nick Lachey’s name, admit to a monster crush on Alyssa Milano and then start cracking bald jokes all in the span of a quarter?

Yup, you’re bald and we’re loving it.
