Lee shut out the Expos Tuesday Night.
I guess we cooled the jets on Cliff Lee around here. It’s kind of like the old joke, “Show me a good looking girl, and I’ll show you…”. Everyone knows how it goes. So, a few weeks after the hype died down Cliff Lee ran into the Nats, and did what you would expect. Maybe there’s some non-diehards out there. I’ll catch you up. The Nationals are the worst team in all the land. Mirror mirror on the wall, all that horsebleep. So, shutting them out is a little like going 4 for 4 in T-Ball (which I did all the time by the way). I think that along with Lee, overall heat on the Phillies might be waning a bit, as people save themselves for the playoffs. That’s part of the problem with baseball. You can’t froth at the mouth for 162 games. Give us a little nudge in a few weeks.
A Tisket, A Tasket, no more Hank Baskett. The Birds nixed Baskett to make room for Jeff Garcia and Michael Vick. It’s nice to know that you are the 7th receiver in the hearts of the Eagles management. Baskett’s departure will bring no tears. He’s generally disliked by fans who realize he’s not that good, and wonder what he did to score some of Hugh Hefner’s fallout. Best case scenario for Tisket? He’s doing a Newlyweds style reality show in a year with the new kid (to be named Tisket a Tasket the IV, no joke)….worst case he’s co-blogging with Freddie Mitchell. Later, Hank. It’s been real.
There’s drama, and then there’s AL East high drama. So Tuesday night the Yankees were taking their monthly beatdown at the hands of Roy Halladay when all of a sudden people started getting plunked, and tempers flared. A full on Donnybrook ensued with Yanks skipper Joe Girardi taking some of the worst of it. It’s nice to see the Yanks still have a little fire. Maybe the team actually wants it this year. The pinstripers are 4o games over .500, and are in cruise control for the division and home field advantage. One of their closest pursuers, the old Sox, got a boost and win in Daisuke Matsuzaka’s return Tuesday night. The Sox beat the Angels, adding more weight to the “God I can’t wait to bet against the Angels in the First Round” theory.

K-Squared Didn't Even need a Glove.
Now, this is how I understand the story, as it was told to me. This was a foul ball ripped into the stands just above the Sox dugout. While the men cowered in fear, and dove for the aisles…Ms. Kristen shielded some young children, casually sipped a beer, and caught the ball with her bare hand. That’s the story, I’m sticking to it.
I heard she was double fisting, chugged one beer with lightning quickness while the ball rocketed towards her, then used the cup to catch the screaming foul. Maybe the Pirates will sign her.
Blue Jays pitcher apparently had a nice welt. I didn’t bother watching, mainly b/c i don’t care until the playoffs start at this point and Halladay always dominates us. I didn’t see Mitre going 8 innings with one hit like Halladay normally does to us, so why watch ahahaha
well, if the Pirates are signing pitchers from India, they probably do have room for her.
looks like Red Sox nation just found their humanitarian of the year!! cute story, photo, and gal.
thanks for sharin’ 3-Putt.

The Hank Baskett for Mike Vick move is awesome on a deeper level. The last regular season game Mike Vick played in the NFL was week 17 in 2006 vs. the Eagles, in Philadelphia. Star player of the day (besides A.J. Feeley –321 yards, 3 TD’s — who was filling in for an injured Jeff Garcia, who was filling in for an injured Donovan McNabb — are you starting to see the similarities here): Hank Baskett who had 177 receiving yards and a touchdown — an 89 yard game winning catch and run in the fourth quarter, that sent the Eagles into the playoffs as division winners, and ended Vick’s season. Now Vick gets Basekit’s roster spot. Awesome.
