You might remember this post by Outlaw of a douchebag bailing out on a foul ball while his date got hit with the ball. I invite said douchebag to watch this. This lady falls out of the saddle and gets right back up.

While Michael Weinreb’s latest book may lean a little too much in the Nittany Lion direction for some folks’ liking, still think nods to Bo Jackson, Brian Bosworth, Jim McMahon and Lenny Bias (RIP) merit a little trumpeting. Whether you came of age watching sports in the 1980s or are simply fascinated by the relationship [...] Then again, not many people can claim to have that kind of unique view of the game. Hmmm, Outlaw, exactly where were you last night? The Rangers said the unidentified jumper was uninjured after he unbuckled himself from the chute and dropped a few feet to a work platform on top of the scoreboard, [...] Me being one of (if not the) staunchest supporters of Joe Paterno’s coaching till he damn well feels like riding into the Happy Valley sunset (and they are beautiful), wondering how my polar opposite Mr. Rufus T (and the rest of Threedonia) feels about the great (and same age as JoePa) Vin Scully’s return to [...] With one more August show to go, an easy way to get caught up on the return of Radio Free Threedonia.

However, with Kender “Patriot Missile” [...] Share on Facebook The Washington Post is reporting that Roger Clemens is going to be indicted for perjury. Roger Clemens will be indicted on charges of making false statements to Congress about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, the New York Times is reporting. Citing two sources who’ve been briefed on the matter, the Times reports that an announcement is [...] and don’t expect me to watch your back. You might remember THIS POST about a hipster douchebag with a pierced lip and a passion for taking a dive when a foul ball heads his way. I don’t know, after watching this interview he may have done it on purpose. Share on Facebook After an unexpected week off (no, we weren’t licking our wounds after not being able to figure out what’s up with the Podbean archiving), RF3D’s back in action today — 4-6 PM PST on Right Talk Radio. Guests include the production team behind No No: A Dockumentary, talking Dock Ellis and 70s baseball … comedians Ellen [...] The Cardinals and Reds had a bench clearing brawl yesterday… the comments that sparked the brawl? From Reds 2B Brandon Phillips on Monday: “I’d play against these guys with one leg,” Phillips told reporters before the Reds’ 7-3 loss to St. Louis on Monday. “We have to beat these guys. I hate the Cardinals. All [...] …a douchbag. Watch the whole thing HERE. I watched it live, a jerk such as this should have his butt kicked, the announcers call him “the bailer”. I just call him douchebag. Share on Facebook Stephen Hawking… super genius… thinks we should abandon planet Earth. Right.

Normally I’m not much for trick National Anthems… I liked this one though… and it reminded me of this… I know I know… “Jack White sucks… BLAHBLAHBLAH” Share on Facebook For the three people here who care about such things. It’s interesting and apropos that yesterday was the anniversary of Nolan Ryan’s clock cleaning of Robin Ventura, because yesterday and early this morning Ryan was involved in another scuffle involving baseball and the Texas Rangers. But instead of Robin Ventura he fought Mark Cuban. Nolan Ryan, [...] Via Ace of Spades: Phenom pitcher Stephen Strasburg is the only reason people still have a vague sense the Washington Nationals are actually a major league team. The games he starts routinely triple or quadruple the Nats regular attendance. So when he was replaced on Tuesday without any warning because of shoulder stiffness his replacement Miguel [...] Ladies, gentlemen, and Rufus… I present to you the new American League RBI leader — for 1961. In the better late than never file… a baseball statistician discovered a scoring error that has resulted in Jim Gentile (pictured above) now sharing the AL RBI title with Roger Maris. From AOL Fanhouse’s Greg Couch So [...] The Arizona Diamondbacks played at the New York Mets’ Citi Field last night. In addition to a couple dozen people protesting Arizona’s immigration enforcement law, leaflets were handed out urging Major League Baseball to move next year’s All-Star Game out of Phoenix. New York being what it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if the protesters got [...] Love that “Whitey” Herzog’s finally in the Hall of Fame today, and nice to see another former Expo in Andre Dawson inducted as well.

First. LT Richard Winters Leadership Project. Share on Facebook As the World Cup focus wanes significantly now that the US has been eliminated (being an American with Euro-mutt ancestry, though, I still have the German and Slovakian dogs in the hunt), plus the 2010 Little League’s conclusion this past week means no umping (i.e., the best seat in the house) till next year, can’t [...] Can’t for the life of me figure out how Dock Ellis wasn’t on Bill Lee’s traveling cast of baseball expatriates up in Canada when we did the Looking for Oscar interviews, but minor quibbling.

Pardon me for going all Keith Olbermann on you, but somehow this story snuck under the radar, what with the MSM’s fascination for a wittle-bit of leaking oil down in the Gulf: PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates are down a pierogi.

REALLY NSFW (language) H/T Ace of Spades Share on Facebook Gotta love a story where a South African kid goes from living in a baseball clubhouse and playing barefoot to getting into the US minor league system, even if it is with the Pirates, now approaching their 20th year of “rebuilding.” [Ngoepe] made South Africa’s 16-and-under national team as a 14-year-old and traveled the world [...] This is a draft I began about 4 months ago. Recent conversation about soccer, American’s lack of passion for it, and European work attitudes has spurred me to finish this up and post it. Football, Basketball, Baseball… Americans spend billions of dollars watching these sports. Soccer? Europeans, South Americans, Central Americans, Africans, Asians spend billions of [...] While I’ll never deny off-the-field Pete Rose was an SOB and scumbag of immense proportions — and the way he tried to steal Dennis Eckersley and Paul Molitor’s announcements into the Hall of Fame by choosing that day to finally admit he bet on games proves it’s all about poor ol’ Pete for him — [...] All kidding aside… these guys are class acts. Galarraga got a 2010 Corvette convertible from GM for his effort. Did I pay for that? Share on Facebook To Ken Griffey Jr., who retired after 22 years in the bigs, words of thanks are not enough for what you did for baseball. Ever since you were part of a little league all-star team that kicked my team’s ass (25-1 … and we sadly had to bunt in our only run), [...] There have been two perfect games pitched so far this season, which has never happened before. Tonight there was almost a third. There should have been a third. But the umpire blew the call on what would have been the 27th out: ” It was the biggest call of my career, and I kicked the (stuff) out [...] Ahhh, “Put me in coach, I’m ready to play…,” words any bench warmer assuredly knows. The Centerfield album came out my freshman year of high school, shortly before I made the JV baseball team, so God knows I knew ‘em. 25 years later (25!!!), nice to see John Fogerty getting the chance to play [...] Not everything about the Cubs is bad, Rich.
