Oh, What The Fuck?
ROFL Sports —
And, no, I am not talking about Carlos Zambrano being on the DL. That is a totally different tragedy.
Check out this.
Just fucked up.
Anyone else cringing?

The only thing worse than losing three games to the Cubs this weekend? Lou Piniella and Ozzie Guillen rapping.
ModernTube: Lou Piniella and Ozzie Guillen start rap rivalry
Big League Stew —
This probably doesn't have the potential to be the North-South version of Tupac and Biggie (or to involve at least one Windy City rapper, Common-Ice Cube or Kanye-Dubya), but it sure took the baseball blogosphere by storm over the weekend. I'd say to go ahead and enjoy what you're about to see, but I just can't advise you to do the impossible ...

Pinella vs. Guillen: Battle Rap
The Beardown —
Interleague play is here and I for one love seeing match ups between the conferences. Dom has posted on the redline series which pits two of baseball’s top teams against each other for bragging rights in the Windy City. What makes it even better is that they are managed by two of the biggest characters in the game in Ozzie Guillen and Lou Pinella. No one gets more heated, uses more expletives, or gets thrown out of more games than these two. Unfortunately I stumbled across this commercial which does nothing to help their street credit. 4Real Out...
Sports World Determined to Destroy Rap Game
Stanley Cup of Chowder —
Is it too late to add this track to the "Best of Shaquille O'Neal" disc? ... and you thought "Shoot Pass Steal" was his best song? He told you he had "Skills like Mr. Miyagi" and you didn't listen. If you don't like him, "Frankly, he don't give a damn...he'll punch you in the stomach...he don't give a heck" IN OTHER PSEUDO RAP/SPORTS NEWS: Apparently, Chi-Town wants whatever piece of the rap game is left... I'm not sure the hip-hop world will ever rebound from the devasting events of this past week.
Only a little worse than Shaq: Ozzie and Lou rap
Randball —
In case you missed it, this little “rap” between Chicago managers Lou Piniella (Cubs) and Ozzie Guillen (Sox) was supposed to get you fired up for the teams’ weekend interleague series. Instead, it probably just made you turn off the TV. Then again, if there is any chance we can get Ron Gardenhire, Randy Wittman, Jacques Lemaire and Brad Childress to perform something similar (or at the very least sing the four parts to Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” ...

Towel Drills: A Chicago Cubs Blog —
If you haven't caught this gem yet, give it a watch. They've been playing these commercials for the past couple weeks during the Cubs/Sox games. This is probably one of the most simultaneously funny yet terrifying things I have ever seen. It's like watching a huge train wreck-if the train were full of some ...
Pester Ozzie Guillen Enough On E-mail And He Will Respond Accordingly [Ozzie Guillen]
Deadspin —
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen's verbal attacks on reporters, general managers, players, fans, and blow-up dolls are somewhat disturbing, if not highly entertaining for those of us who don't have to deal with them directly. But did you know you too can be eviscerated by Ozzie if you type with the appropriate amount of bile? Guillen has made his e-mail public, so White Sox fans far and wide can tell him how spectacular a job he's doing, or just anonymously insult him without imminent threat of physical retaliation. Chicago Sun Times writer Rick Morrissey decided to test the account to see if Guillen ...
10 reasons to hate the...Chicago White Sox
Stanley Cup of Chowder —
1. 1919 "Black Sox" Scandal 2. Ozzie Guillen is legitimately crazy I do not envy the fine people that work in the PR department for the White Sox. 3. Only team in MLB history ever to wear shorts during a game On August 8, 1976 the White Sox took the field for the first game of a doubleheader versus the Kansas City Royals wearing shorts. The shorts didn't make an appearance in the nightcap and have never been seen since. 4. They stole their name from ...

The Cubs and the Brewers have plenty in common. Two solid rotations, augmented with recent acquisitions; plenty of power (with almost identical team slugging percentages), uneven but not abysmal bullpen performance and, of course, the same number of postseason wins for 2007.
Still, there are plenty of differences. For example, Mr. Soriano’s contemptuous, deliberate home run trot (on display again last night) makes Ryan Braun look like Charlie Hustle. The vast majority of the Brewers’ starting players came up through the team’s farm system, while the Cubs were largely purchased on the open market. ...
Top 5 Reasons Why Athletes Should Never Rap. Ever. Or Sing. EVER.
FanIQ Blog —
After reading 100%'s blog on the Chinese table tennis team and their subpar musical abilities, I decided to look around a bit more, and see which other athletes have made the same mistake. Well, we can add this year's Utah football team to the list of misguided athletes who think it's cool to rap about their season. For some, like the 1985 Bears, everything ends up going pretty well. But others, like Atlanta's Air Force (AKA the 1986-87 Hawks) and Josh Jarboe, formerly of the OU football team, things just didn't quite go as planned.
You Been Blinded provided us with this priceless moment in Utes history, which you ...

Sometimes it's just easier to sit back and have your work done for you. In this case, I found both of these gems over at Chicagoist. And now I will post them for your enjoyment, because they're so bad, I think they qualify as modern art. First, let's enjoy some horrible abuse at the hands of our beloved Harry Caray: ...

1. Ozzie Guillen Explosions -Between Magglio Ordonez, Jay Mariotti, and his incentive filled tirades; there is no doubt that White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen is a loose cannon. But hey, that's why we love him. I'm eager to see what will piss Guillen off this year....any ideas? More classic Ozzie (for your viewing and listening pleasure): 2. A full season of Carlos Quentin -Few people outside of Chicago ...
Better Management Resume: Lou Piniella or Captain Lou?
Bugs & Cranks —
Professional wrestling personality/legend/icon Captain Lou Albano passed away from natural causes last week at the age 76. Yes, it’s possible for professional wrestlers to live well into their 70’s and pass from natural causes. Though I’m sure no one ever had any questions about what Lou put into his body.
When I heard of the Captain’s passing my immediate thought was how can I honor one of my childhood favorites here at Bugs & Cranks.
The answer was simple. Compare Captain Lou’s resume to that of baseball’s own version watered down version of Captain Lou. So that’s what I did. ...
