More Sports!

You want some more links? Well I have plenty more links (this one didn't fit into the 4 major sports, but needed to be posted:

Baseball
-Good riddence, Curt Schilling. Probably my most hated of opposing baseball players, Curt made sealed his postseason legacy by putting ketchup on his sock, injecting his ankle with HGH, and pitching the Red Sox past some curse. I don't think his overall numbers are Hall of Fame, but he will get in because of his postseason "heroics". Some people will have a problem with 216 wins, but, as I argued very well in the past, this guy should be in the Hall of Fame AND the Hall of Assholes.

-Rob Neyer thinks the Yanks should keep Gardner and trade Cabrera. Well he's probably right. But if Swisher DHs one day, you leave yourself with no backup OFs currently. Not a good place to be. I'd build up some trade value also, before you trade the Melk Man.

-Jose Tabata's wife story is getting crazier and crazier. Here's her again

-I agree, if we could get 24 duplicates of the Yankee game today, I would be very happy. Mo has been downright NASTY this spring.

-Tex will be a very good player for the Yanks, but don't expect him to live up to his contract in April: he's a slow starter.

-This is a sad book excerpt about something in Roger Clemens' life that went unreported up till now. It's not steroids. It's actually sad.

-Yankees minor league news via Sliding Into Home

-Banks and Sports

-Bob Sheppard is set to return to the Stadium this season (though I heard April 3rd is too early)

-A really nice and funny story from Buster Olney on the recently passed Arthur Richman

-Oh Tommy Lasorda.

-A Mariners prospect used to flush away his hearing aids and a Twins player has a baggy pants
issue.

-Stephen Strasburg is downright filthy. With that name, I'm keeping my fingers crossed he's Jewish as well (probably not with the spelling). It would be good publicity for our people. Regardless, he's going to make some team in the draft very happy and--because he's represented by Boras who already wants $50 million--very, very poor as well.


Football
-Football players get into the weirdest shit. Example #4815162342 (by the way, those numbers don't mean anything. Go play them in the lotto. Go. Try it. It's good luck...)

-The compensatory picks are in for the NFC East (the Giants got the highest one)

Basketball
-We're sorry we missed Shawn Bradley's birthday. I was in a Dallas area restaurant during a summer he was playing for the Mavericks and all of a sudden this enormous beast walked in. Immediately I knew who he was. He had a tiny little wife (at least in comparison). But, seriously, he was a lanky beast. People shouldn't be that tall.

-Forgot to post this two days ago, but this is a preview of what you already saw. Otherwise known as useless. Unless you DVR'ed all the game. In which case, you're welcome.

-A Bill Simmons column about basketball geeks makes me wonder if they have the same for hockey. If not, I volunteer myself to start the movement.

-Al Harrington should be benched for the rest of the season after the shit he's pulled. If they want to change this losing culture, they need to knock out stupid shit like this.

Hockey
-Crazy threat at NHL game. Not the way to go, buddy. Most people don't even know your team exists--in your own city!

-Lastly, if you haven't seen the video below of Bruins prospect, Tuukka Rask freaking out, well..it's worth watching. I imagine it looked like Tortorella in the lockerroom after the Rangers' latest debacle. Here's the full story on Rask.
