For all of you looking for today’s installment of the Top 100 Embarrassments list, it will be up later this evening. Sorry for the delay; real life just got in the way for a bit.
In the meantime, could everyone please go read this column by Mr. Monday in today’s Oklahoman and tell me just what the hell that’s supposed be saying. I have read it twice and have no idea what that article about. It’s so confusing that at this point I’m fairly convinced that Mr. Monday is Dean Blevins. Seriously, tell me that column doesn’t sound like Deano.
Also, I managed to catch a few minutes of the Sports Animal late this morning which consisted entirely of Craig Humphreys and Bob Barry Jr. whining incessantly about Johan Santana taking himself out of the game yesterday after 8 innings and 17 strikeouts. As best I could tell, the point was that somehow by not trying to tie the record Santana is proving that he is not fit to wear the jockstrap of Roger Clemens. The idiocy of their argument aside, I found it amusing that the two biggest proponents of selflessness and being a “team player” were criticizing a player for NOT doing something for personal gain only.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Sorry again for the delay on the list…
I had to re-read the first few paragraphs just to make sure I hadn’t missed something. The column started out decent, but by the time he writes “… how would Joey Halzle respond when…,” you realize Mr Monday is living in a fantasy world. Career backups don’t answer questions!
I think Deano is just beginning to feel the effects of heat exhaustion…
A telephone “poll”?
What a bunch of idiots. Johan is the man. Easily my favorite pitcher to watch since Pedro in his prime. I also have to add a F*CK Roger Clemens and his huge, roid filled ego (note: this is coming from a huge Mets fan).
That’s the kind of writing you turn in when you’ve screwed off your due date all semester and are so wired on No-Doz and three-day-old Pizza Shuttle that anything really starts to make sense. Also, LOLmonkey77 doesn’t give a crap about the environment. It’s all an act to score with the granola girls.
Nothing like creating a story for the sheer joy of linking to as many unrelated, unnecessary websites as possible. I wonder if the author is attempting to make fun of bloggers or internet critics? His attempt it like someone trying to make fun of retarded people by pooping their pants.
Humpman and BBJ talked trash about who? Let’s see, he throws a two hitter over eight innings and strikes out 17, then comes out of the game because any mistake could have cost his team the game? Perhaps Humpman doesn’t understand why that is a good thing because it wasn’t golf.
Let’s send Humpman on tour. Permanently.
I think Mr Monday is a takeoff on Tulsa World’s The Picker, which runs on Thursdays during football season. It’s pretty funny stuff, but he takes down all major teams in the area. Mr Monday is just not measuring up.
