SOFTBALL IS FOR POSERS

2005-04-26T19:57:00.000-07:00

I admit it, I play Wiffleball. Go ahead and laugh but you're probably just jealous.

What's that you say? You can't be jealous because you don't know what Wiffleball is? Well, you're not the only one with questions about Wiffleball. When I'm having a conversation with someone and they find out I play Wiffleball, I get many questions. Well, Okay, not many questions but there are a few, such as:

-You play what now?
-Is that the ball with the holes?
-Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, ya right...wait, you're serious?
-Hey, my five year old and I play that.
-Huh?
-Wiffleball, that's cool. (No idea what Wiffleball is.)

Actually the most common reaction I get is a polite smile and head nod. But I just know that they're thinking "I knew he was a dork but ,WOW, I had no idea".

Okay, I'll concede that an adult playing Wiffleball is a bit on the geek side, but it shouldn't be considered any worse than playing Softball.

Like Softball, Wiffleball is just a modified version of Baseball. But Wiffleball has the element of pitching that Softball (well slow pitch anyway) doesn't have. In Wiffleball, you have all of the types of pitches that Baseball has plus a couple extra ( the "Cadiwampus" is very popular). Softball just has the Toss-it-up-there-so-the-girl-from-Service-Deli-can-hit-it and the Huck-the-holy-hell-out-of-it under-arm pitch.

Softball does have the fact that the ball is close to being hard as a baseball and you need an aluminum bat, like college Baseball (ohhh yes, aluminum bats in college Baseball, I smell another column). Also, your not going to get hurt with a Wiffleball like you could a Softball. Although if you've been hit square in the 'junk' with a Wiffleball ,like most of us have, you wouldn't say that!

A major stumbling block for making Wiffleball considered a less dorky sport is the whole "played it as a kid and then I discovered there are these strange creatures called girls" thing.

Now that I have managed to fool a girl into marrying me, the fact that Wiffleball is considered a kids game, to me, is one of it's selling points. Every time we play I get a little flashback of when I played as a ten year old. Summer days of going from morning till dinner, no matter how damn hot it got (by the way, an August Fresno day feels like Heatmiser himself is lurking about). Threre are some moments, while playing, when it feels like no time has passed at all.

I hope that one day Wiffleball can break out of that kid/geek stigma and become a more respectable sport (yea, you know, like Bowling or Dodgeball). I will be waiting with ball and Banana Bat in hand.

Now are you jealous?

Say It's So Joe

2005-02-18T23:12:00.000-08:00

Can this actually be true? The NHL is coming back? Just when I began to get a life, outside of the NHL, they come back. Sorry honey, NHL has returned, I don't have time to spend on our relationship until Baseball season (and then there is REALLY no time).

Now, the number one thing the NHL has to do...OPEN THE DAMN GAME UP IDIOTS!

The first way to do that is eliminate the two-line offsides pass penalty. It's the dumbest thing ever. The most exciting thing in hockey is the "break-away". The two-line pass penalty stops this. Why in the world would you want to develop a rule to create LESS of them? Imagine if basketball had a penalty for passing to a player running down to do a fast-break dunk.

REMEMBER THIS MARTZ!

2005-01-02T22:59:00.000-08:00

The St. Louis Rams have somehow managed to sneak in the playoffs.

They made it dispite Mike Martz, terrible special-teams play, the worse turnover ratio in the league, Mark Bulger being injured and me being their fan.

That's a lot to overcome. But they did and now Martz just needs to remember one thing: STEVEN JACKSON.

Hey Martz, when you wake up in the morning, remember Jackson.

Remember him when you have your coffee, take your first piss, watch Sponge Bob, look at your gut in the mirror, emptying beer bottles from the night before, putting your Crest White Strips on, whacking-off to your playbook that's open to show your favorite pass play.

You need to remember to use Steven Jackson because that is what's going to win you playoff games. But most of all, it will let me forget what a pigheaded coach you are.

It's All Been Said Before

2004-11-23T22:29:00.000-08:00

What the hell can I say about the Pistons/Pacers brawl that hasn't been said before. Well I'll say something anyway.

There are too many people to blame for what went down at the game. But one thing I take from it is the growing gap between players and fans. We have little patience for players and the players give less and less shits about us. It's a vicious cycle really.

The NBA should come down hard on the Pistons and not allow them to sell beer for an extended amount of time. They have shown that they don't put enough security in the building and the fans have shown that they can't handle their beer.

Unfortunately, Stern will just take the easy way out and come down hard on the players.

One good thing that I hope has come out of this; fans should now be scared enough of the players to NOT throw shit at them. The one bad thing is the guy who actually threw the cup wasn't the one who got his ass beat.

You Can Drink and Drive and Manage...No Wait

2004-11-09T23:22:00.000-08:00

So Arizona doesn't want Wally Backman to manage the Diamondbacks, they have their reasons.

Wally had a DUI (among some other stuff)that he kinda forgot to tell everybody about and that was enough for the Diamondbacks to not take a chance.

But the STATE of Arizona voted for Bush to be President even though he was a cokehead and has had DUI's.

So In Arizona, running the country with a arrest record...good. Running the baseball team with a arrest record...bad.

I got to give them credit, they are very serious about their baseball!

Nice Move David

2004-11-02T23:57:00.000-08:00

That was a real genius move to start the NBA season on election night commissioner Stern.

I'm looking at the schedule and there seems to be a untapped TV market right around the time the Super Bowl starts.

GAME ON GARTH?

2004-10-28T22:16:00.000-07:00

SPORTS FLUX says congratulations to Boston for finally wining. Now maybe baseball can now move on with it's life and get back to some normalcy. A baseball life without constant talk of 1918 and curses and...what's that? The Cubs have a curse that goes back to 1908?...SHIT!

Moving on, at least with the end of baseball we can now start getting into the NHL season. I love the NHL and....what's that? The NHL is in a lockout that will last all season?...SHIT!

Beam Me DOWN Scotty!

2004-10-26T22:42:00.000-07:00

A hockey player is a hockey player -- right?

Not when there is a NHL lockout going on and NHL players are going elsewhere to play.

Scott Gomez, a star NHL forward with the NJ Devils, has signed on with the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. The ECHL is a AA minor league hockey league, filled with veteran minor league players along with some NHL prospects.

At first it sounds cool, a NHL star playing in small cities in a minor League and getting a small paycheck like the rest of the ECHL players. But the coolness wears off once you realize Gomez is taking up a roster spot that would normally be occupied by a struggling hockey player just lookin to make a living or work his way up.

Obviously, most NHL players would be pissed if an ECHL player came to the NHL and played as a "scab". So you can imagine that there are some pissed ECHL players out there after learning about Gomez (what do you think the Hanson Brothers would do to Scotty?).

I do have to admit though. I am excited to see Scotty play here in Fresno against our ECHL team the Fresno Falcons.

I will feel totally bad about it though ECHL players...really. I'll like only cheer when Scotty gets checked real hard against the boards.

I guess a hockey fan is a hockey fan...eh?

It's Time For A Saux Championship

2004-10-24T18:41:00.000-07:00

THE CURSE, THE CURSE, THE CURSE.
1918, 1918, 1918.
RED SOX FANS.
YANKEE FANS.

ENOUGH ALREADY!

I hope that the Red Soxs can finally win a World Series just so they can shut the hell up!

I'm so tired of the Yankee and Red Sox hijacking Baseball. There are other Baseball teams and other Baseball fans.

If the Saux do win, I hope they will just go away so we could all move on. Unfortunately, ESPN and the rest of the media, likely won't let us

Jerry Rice Is An Old Ass-hole!

2004-10-19T23:43:00.000-07:00

Jerry Rice once made a now very famous comment (famous among my friends anyway) to a reporter once (I think it was a reporter); “I’m Jerry Rice, you’re an ass-hole!”

Old Man Rice has been traded to the Seahawks and he’s bringing his precious number 80 with him. That was the number Largent used while putting up his Hall-o-Fame, record breaking numbers in Seattle. The Seahawks have since retired his jersey. For those of you who don’t know, that means nobody (while playing for that team) can play with that number again.

Nobody…but Geriatric Jerry that is.

Largent gave Rice permission to use his retired number 80 after Jerry called and asked him if he could. Steve said yes but what else could he say? Steve has class, he doesn’t want to make a big deal over a number like Jerry did.

I just wish Largent would have said no to Jerry. And maybe he could have said no like this:

Jerry: “Hi Steve, It’s Jerry Rice. I was wondering if I could play with your number 80?”
Steve: “Sorry, no.”
Jerry: “Why not?”
Steve: “I’m Steve Largent, you’re an ass-hole!”

Let "The Curse" Come Out To Play Babe!

2004-10-18T23:29:00.000-07:00

I despise the Yanks and the Red Soxs! So in this series, I don't care who wins, I just want the most intriguing story to rise up. That story, to me, is "The Curse".

Yes, Boston going to the world series after being down three games would be pretty damn huge, but I want the curse of the Babe to come out.

Please Babe, let the series get to seven games then have some freaky-ass thing happen late in the game so that Boston loses and everyone, without question, can see it was the curse that caused the loss.

Babe, maybe something with John Olerud's batting helmet or some Yankee player with a first and last name that would sound good sandwiching the word "fucking".

Bubba "fucking" Crosby sounds good.

(If ya got any suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment)

Suck On That Boston Fans!

2004-10-14T22:58:00.000-07:00

Ahhhh, those poor Red Sox fans. They don't have Curt Schilling anymore (his ankle is F'd). I would feel bad for them but I am an A's fan.

Last year the A's had to play the Red Sox in the first round of the playoffs without their ace Mark Mulder. Before Mulder went out that year, he was pitching some of the best baseball of his career. If the A's would have had Mulder that series, it would have been the A's getting beat by the Yankees in the ALCS, not the Red Sox (ironically enough, the A's didn't make the playoffs this year because they had Mulder...go figure).

In other playoff news: I don't know if anybody else has seen this but apparently there is another series (other than Boston vs New York) going on. I actually think the Cardinals and Astros series is a better series. I mean, I get all of the drama of the Sox and Yanks but it kinda gets old after a while. Really now, how many times can you watch the Yankees beat the Red Sox--when the game really counts?

Oh wait, I almost forgot, the A's have never beaten the Yankees when it counts either.

Maybe I should go "suck on that".

Frankie Say: RELAX, DON'T DO IT!

2004-10-14T18:43:00.000-07:00

Most of you have probably have heard about Texas Ranger Frankie Francisco pulling a “Bobby Knight” of sorts and throwing a chair into the stands at a A’s game this year, inadvertently hitting a women in the head, breaking her nose. The woman is going to press charges and is likely going to sue. Of course sue Francisco, and maybe even the A’s.
Now if I was the one who got the broken nose, instead of suing the A’s, I would definitely work out a settlement. I would settle because I am an A’s fan and I would want some very specific things from the Athletics in my settlement…such as:

· When the A’s lose in the first round of the playoffs this year, I want the team to throw us die-hard’s a private party. At that party I want Jeremy Giambi sliding at home base throughout the entire shindig. Also Terence Long actually swinging at a pitch the WHOLE time, as well, instead of looking at called third strikes to end a playoff series (I know both of those players are gone but MAKE IT HAPPEN!). Oh and let me tell off Eric Byrnes for forgetting to touch home plate in the 2003 playoff-I don’t care if it hurt when you came home or not Burnsey!
· Force Mark McGwire to apologize to A’s fans for telling us he wanted to leave Oakland so he could be closer to his son in Southern California and then sign a deal with ST. LOUIS (that isn’t in So Cal for you geography inept). Oh yea, and then break the all-time season home run record with the Cards.
· Never invite Reggie Jackson to come back to Oakland Coliseum again. Every time he does he slips in some New York Yankee propaganda. We know you like your Yanks better than us Regg.
· Ken Macha must call ME before he calls the bullpen.
· I get to shave off Rollie Fingers Mustache.
· Force all of the A’s outfielders to wear their hats like old centerfielder Dwayne Murphy did. It was always so cool to see Dwayne’s hat come flying off even on routine pop-ups.
· At the aforementioned party, I want to do “keg stands” with Barry Zito, Eric Chavez and Eric Byrnes (does that make me gay?). I know I ripped Byrnes earlier but he’s got to be a cool guy to party with and he give the best post-game interview.
· Have Jose Canseco go around to area schools to talk about the dangers of having a bad hair cut.

Finally, find a way to get a new stadium built. One that doesn’t have the opposing team warming up right in front of the confused Oakland fan who still thinks he is at a Raiders game. Or at least put up some chicken-wire between the bullpen and the stands. That way the next time Frankie wants to throw a chair, he won’t have to RELAX-he can JUST DO IT.

Red Soxs And Cubs Fans Don't Suffer Alone

2004-10-14T18:08:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's been a long hard road for Cubs and Red Sox fans. Everyone knows it was 1908 since the Cubs have won a championship and 1918 for Boston. Those years have been filled with turmoil, agony and heartbreak. But they aren't the only fans that have experienced heartbreak or who have been waiting for a championship as long as they can remember. Hell, some fans don't even know what it's like to be heartbroken.

First there is the Devil Rays and the Rockies. Now they don't really count since they haven't been around that long but still, if you're a true fan of those teams, you have the right to be a little bitter.

The Seattle Mariners have been around since 1977 and none of their fans know what it is to be in the series. Also the Montreal Expos have existed since 1969 and they have never seen a World Series either. You are probably thinking that there are no Expo fans but there has got to be some deprived sucker somewhere. Some sucker who's just been devastated these past 35 years without a World Series game of his own to watch or no chance to see his team on ESPN Classic.

Now let's dig a little deeper. The Houston Astros began their existence in 1962, the Texas Rangers in 71 (they were the Washington Senators). Now we are getting into multiple generations of fans who are disappointed year after year, not feeling the tension that is World Series play.

That takes care of the teams that have never played in one; here are some of the teams that have not won in a very long time.

The Brewers and Giants fall into a grey zone here. The Milwaukee Brewers have never won but the Milwaukee Braves won in 1957. The San Francisco Giants have never won either but the New York version of the team last won in 54 (The Oakland A's have won four times since they moved to Oakland yet the Giants are significantly more popular than the A's, in the Bay Area...go figure).

Right now Cleveland fans are probably screaming "What about us? We are losers too!"
Yes, you sure are guys. The sports teams on a whole are losers. Cleveland makes Boston and Chicago look like the Disneyland of sports. The Browns haven't won since 1964. The Cavaliers never have and the town doesn't even have a NHL team (although nobody will have a NHL team come October). What about the Indians, you say? Not since 1948.

But the bitterest fan of all these teams might have to be of the other Chicago team...the White Sox. They haven't won a Championship since 1917. And I seem to remember that whole Black Sox throwing the series thing back in 1919. Okay I don't remember it but I did see the movie; "Say it ain't so Joe!" Chi Sox fan actually has a right to be more pissed than a Red Sox fan but the White Sox never had Babe Ruth get traded away or have Ben Damon Matt Affleck rooting for them.

So come October, when you Cubs and Red Sox fans lament over a another season of what could have been as you watch the Yankees, or some random expansion team, win another World Series, don't feel bad. You will have more company than you thought.

YEP, I SEE YOUR ASS DORK!

2004-10-14T18:02:00.000-07:00

If you watch any Baseball at all, you have seen them (hell, maybe you have been one of them). The Jack-n-Apes who sit around home plate, get on their cell phones, and wave to somebody watching them on TV. You see me waving…yea…hey look, I’m still waving huh? Ooohh, you can see me again?...I’ll keep waving then.

Can’t the director of the broadcast do something about this? Maybe blur them out or put an ad in front of their face? As soon as you see a fan around home plate put a cell phone to their ear, throw up a Viagra logo or a Sportscenter is next!

I readily admit, when I call people dorks it’s the pot calling the kettle black. But at least I keep it to the confines of the local comic book shop or Bloggin page.

If one day you find yourself next to one of these people, give them a solid punch to the arm as soon as they start waving. Now that is something I wouldn’t mind seeing!
