Air Force Does Not Complete a Pass, Still Beats Houston
Air Force Does Not Complete a Pass, Still Beats Houston

Gilbert Gilbert posted 9/15/2008 from larrybrownsports.com

The Falcons rolled up 380 yards on the ground like they were the Raiders dominating the Chiefs. Only difference, Air Force didn’t even complete a pass. Quarterback Shea Smith was 0-7 in passing attempts. He threw for 0 yards.

Manny flashed the wrong number of outs after catching a fly ball. A great picture found by Larry Brown Sports.

Petition to Get Ichiro in the Home Run Derby
Petition to Get Ichiro in the Home Run Derby

Gilbert Gilbert posted 7/9/2008 from www.bugsandcranks.com

You may not know, if you’ve never seen the Mariners take batting practice, is that Ichiro can also be a home run machine. In BP, he’s been known to hit ten or twelve balls in a row into the right field seats, amazing fans and teammates alike. In the past, he’s turned down offers by MLB to participate in the home run derby, but this year, he said recently, he’d consider participating if he’s asked.

Diaz Discourse: An Exclusive Interview With Matt Diaz
Diaz Discourse: An Exclusive Interview With Matt Diaz

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/19/2008 from www.bugsandcranks.com

Matt Diaz is baseball’s best hitter that you know nothing about. The Braves left fielder hit just under .340 last year and now in his sixth season in “The Show” Diaz’s career average sits at a more than respectable .316. Last Wednesday, Diaz was good enough to spend a few minutes on the phone with Bugs & Cranks, fielding questions from our very own Braves scribe Charlie Hatton

Video: Hanging with Mr. Hunter
Video: Hanging with Mr. Hunter

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/8/2008 from www.bugsandcranks.com

FSN West has been working on a series called “Hanging with Mr. Hunter”, which as you can guess from the title, features Torii Hunter and focuses on his life outside of the ballpark. Part 2, which just came out as far as I can tell, is equally entertaining. Watch the video to see where a horse kicked him, see Torii’s wardrobe and his interactions with his personal chef and assistant.

The Word On The Street by Phil Brody — 5/5/08
The Word On The Street by Phil Brody — 5/5/08

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/7/2008 from baseballmastermind.com

No Laffey Matter Aaron Laffey’s debut on Monday against the New York Yankees was impressive. You might look at his line of 5.2 IP, 3 H,4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K and think otherwise, but he was the victim of some bad luck and lethargic defense.

Inside UCLA: J’Mison Morgan to UCLA FO SHO

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/7/2008 from guttylittlebruins.com

Jill Painter of Inside UCLA has done some fine work in Brian Dohn’s stead. She talked to Ronnie Morgan, J’Mison’s brother, and he said Morgan is “planning for sure to attend UCLA next year.” Painter also reported that J’Mison was told that LSU would indeed grant the release:

Baseball Bugs- 1946
Baseball Bugs- 1946

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/3/2008 from www.walkoffwalk.com

Today's Classic TV Friday post is one of my all time favorites. I'm sure you've all seen it but it may have been awhile. Bugs Bunny takes over for the Teetotalers, a wimpy team full of old guys that are getting their asses handed to them by the Gashouse Gorillas. Hilarity ensues and Bugs takes the day.

There Went the Milwaukee Brewers’ Season: Yovani Gallardo Tears ACL

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/3/2008 from baseballmastermind.com

It is being reported that Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo tore his ACL in a collision with Chicago Cubs left fielder Reed Johnson in Thursday’s game. It is still uncertain whether he will get surgery, but it’s likely that he will and will miss the rest of the season.

Looks Like the Jose Canseco Local Gym Sitings Are Over

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/2/2008 from larrybrownsports.com

The first time I saw his ass at the gym, I had to do a double take. It couldn’t be him, could it? As another gym-goer told me recently, “I see Ozzie Canseco at the gym all the time.” Sorry, I corrected him, “that’s actually Jose.” Yes, Jose Canseco works out at the local gym in Encino (Sherman Oaks, technically).

Could Tulo’s Injury Have Been Avoided?
Could Tulo’s Injury Have Been Avoided?

Gilbert Gilbert posted 5/2/2008 from www.bugsandcranks.com

If you haven’t heard by now, Troy Tulowitzki has been diagnosed with a torn tendon in his left quad, and will be sidelined until the All-Star break… perhaps longer. I’m betting the over on this one, folks. Torn tendon sounds like a season ender to me, and if the Rockies are smart, that’s how they’ll approach it.

Buzz Bissinger Does Not Like Blogs

Gilbert Gilbert posted 4/30/2008 from www.danshanoff.com

That was clear during Buzz Bissinger's freak-out on Costas Now (just now), attacking Will Leitch. The irony is that Will came across as the thoughtful one, and Buzz Bissinger -- self-appointed savior of "old media" -- came across as the unhinged nut. Points to Big Daddy Drew (aka "Balls Deep") and AJ Daulerio for the name-checks. Any pub is good pub!

Breaking News: Sean Salisbury Canned By ESPN

Gilbert Gilbert posted 2/27/2008 from awfulannouncing.blogspot.com

Twelve years is a long time, and it definitely doesn't seem that long in regards to Salisbury. There is no official word on who's decision this was, but the Star Tribune is reporting that ESPN decided not to renew his contract.

Ben Ball News & Notes

Diane Pucin managed to track down the lone sports editor who voted for Ben Ball warriors as the number 1 team in the country. Can’t really disagree with his reasoning:

La Russa Gives Pass to Steroids Users
La Russa Gives Pass to Steroids Users

Gilbert Gilbert posted 2/26/2008 from larrybrownsports.com

LaRussa maintains that both McGwire and Clemens deserve a pass: “There’s a certain amount of credit that should be given to a guy who’s worked hours and hours to get stronger and bigger,” he said. “Wait a minute, Tony. You still don’t believe McGwire used performance-enhancing drugs?” “Absolutely not.”

This unfortunate suggestion that baseball players and all other pro athletes have to suck it up and should give up their right to privacy in order to submit to regular blood tests for any sort of “public good” needs to die a very quick death. I’ve written about this before, but it keeps surfacing:

Out of all the many pleasures that come along with sports blogging, I must say that none are as rewarding as ripping on fans who have absolutely no sense of objectivity. Check out a screenshot from this North Carolina Scout.com thread. Please, spit or swallow any liquid in your mouth before viewing or don’t blame me if you ruin your monitor.

Dear Emmitt Smith, Congratulations on completing your first season as an NFL commentator for ESPN. A lot of people have been poking fun at your command of the English language. It certainly didn’t help that Jimmy Kimmel aired this highlight video on his show. I admire your restraint.
