Time For Some Skull F***ing!

It's been awhile since I've been in the mood to plunge my hog into some idiots' skull...But I'm in a mood today...So let's get started on the latest winners of The Beeze's Skull F**k Award!


First, I've beaten up Indians manager Eric Wedge a lot this year...Well we got some good news today...The Tribe Finally fired that dolt...But I don't want him to leave town without taking one last load in the eye...

But wait...I'm feeling a to-for...That's right, if Wedge is taking one...I gotta give his buddy, GM, Mark Shapiro one too! This jackass should have been fired too...Oh, what the hell...Let's add a third...Indians owner, Mr. Dolan...Here's a steaming load for you too...Why you ask....For not firing Shapiro, and not ditching Wedge sooner...

At the rate I'm going, I'm gonna need a cheat code for all the c*ck I'm dishing out tonight...

Next...Browns coach, Eric Mangina...This guy is just a dummy...Plain and simple...'I'm not naming the starting QB, cause I don't want to.' DOUCHE! Then when it was leaked on twitter, what did he do...'I'm not naming the starting center.' No one cares DOUCHE!

Then he benched Brady Quinn Sunday and put in Derek Anderson, who proceeded to throw 3 interceptions...NICE MOVE DOUCHE! So who's starting this week? Anderson...DOUCHE!

Mangina, is looking like a future Skull F**k Hall of Famer...

Next, on the topic of the Browns and the Quarterback position...The next Skull F**k is going out to all those dolts in the media, and all the knuckle headed Browns fans, who actually think Derek Anderson starting at QB is going to improve this team...Listen, if Jesus was playing QB for the Browns, it wouldn't help...The #1 receiver drops more passes then he catches...The #2 receiver is the second coming of Steve Tasker...The O-line only beats the opponent when they jump too soon...The #1 running back is on the back-end of his career, while the # 2 running back is a 6th round pick who is far from ready to carry the load...The defense...Not that great...But I feel bad for them...They never get off the field, so by the second half they're totally winded...
-
Sorry people...The QB isn't what's making this team suck...It's the years of crappy management, bad drafts, bad ownership, bad coaches, including Mangina...You know what, I feel bad about this one...But people need to wake the hell up...So I'm gonna let a Steeler pass out this Skull F**k!

That does not look fun!
-
-
Last...this one is for my friend Cathy...She pointed something out to me on facebook...I started looking, and she was right...I, like her was totally annoyed by it...There seems to be couples, some married, some just dating...Who feel the need to post there love for one another on each others facebook walls...
-
"baby I love you." "you're so sweet" Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah! NO ONE CARES!
-
We don't need to see it...True or not...I think most people do it because their relationship actually sucks, but they don't want people to know...TOO LATE!
-
Listen, if you want to post something like....'My husband just tongued my a$$ so good, it had my p*$$y singing Oh Come All Ye Faithful' ...I'm okay with that! Or maybe...'I had my strap on in Johnny tonight...Rectum...I nearly killed 'em!' ...That would be great!
-
But if you need to post "I love you honey, you're the best." on you significant other's wall...There's a problem...Try this instead...Walk into the other room, and tell them to their face...It might actually mean a little more....
-
You've now been Skull F**ked!

Monday Moaning

Here we are again...Another weekend has blown by and another Monday is upon us...Hockey season is getting ready to start and we so I thought I'd start with a little hockey news...I know last week I complained about the NHL season being too long...I still feel that way, and I'm still not in the hockey mode yet...But Some news has to be talked about....

This week "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky resigned from the Phoenix Coyotes...It's about time Wayne...I don't mean to sh!t on Gretzky...He was the man, and I've always been a fan...But he proved something that has been proven many times before...Great players don't always make great coaches...When I say "don't always" I mean most the time!


When you're are so naturally gifted, and things seem to make sense easily to you...It's gotta be hard to translate that to people who don't have the same talent level...I always think of Ted Williams when I think of Gretzky...The science of hitting made so much sense to Williams...It came so much more easily for him then others...It had to make him nuts when he was working with a younger player, and they weren't getting the same results...

I'd like to suggest that Wayne and the Mrs. take it easy...Maybe take a trip to Vegas...We know how she likes to gamble!

Moving on...Saturday, after working a double at The Fish House, I got to enjoy a little Notre Dame football...God Bless DVR! Jimmy Clausen nutted up and the Irish beat Purdue 24-21...
http://irishbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/09/irish-top-purdue-24-21.html


On the topic of college football...This weeks games showed us once again that the preseason rankings are crap...And that any team can beat anyone else...As I sat in a little Irish dive bar after work, I enjoyed seeing Iowa beat Penn State in Not So Happy Valley...I know people love JoPa...Well guess what...I don't! He's old...Really f**king old, and often the game looks like it's passed him by...The old guy is a figurehead...It's time to hang those big old stupid glasses up and enjoy the last couple golden years you got left...
-
Cal got worked over by Oregon, who was wearing another stupid looking uniform this weekend...
-
Tebow got hurt...Erin Andrews cried...I laughed...Tebow is a douche!
-
The always overrated Florida State Seminoles lost South Florida...AWESOME! (sorry EK)
-
Stanford beat Washington...Way to show up after last week's big win Huskies!
-
I love this...The BCS is gonna be all f**ked up this year...I can feel it!
-
Then Sunday rolls around...Holy sh!t Batman! the Lions won! I sh!t you not...the Detroit Lions won a football game! The Cleveland Browns on the other hand...Well, they sh!t the bed again...
This guy does a great impression of the Browns....





The Browns Offense sucked again...The Defense sucked again...The Coaches, sucked again...then they lifted Brady Quinn...
-

Derek Anderson came into game and made a strong statement by throwing an interception...Ahhh, Cleveland...Let the QB controversy begin!
-
You know, this year, I gave up on the Indians...Last year my buddy, B-Dub switched his loyalty from the Eagles to Panthers...I think it's time for me to start looking for a new team...I've been a Browns fan my whole life...I have far too many Browns sweatshirts, and T-shirts, and yes, even jerseys of assholes who never made it...Fans have been the only thing consistently loyal in sports...And what do we get for it...Nothing! Yes there are cities with teams that actually put the time, money, energy, and effort, into giving their fans a winning team...But not enough...And not in Cleveland...So I going free-agent...F**k off Browns...I'm going to a team that has a shot to contend this year!
-
Now I have a little advice for all my gambling friends out there...No matter who the Browns are playing...No matter what the line is...Bet against the browns...If it's 11 guys in wheel chairs against the Browns...I'll take the Hot Wheels, and give you 3 points!
-
If it's the Browns versus Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs...I'll take the b!tch riding the midget train!
-

In Beeze family news this week...My daughter now has short hair...She donated her hair this weekend to Wigs for Kids...There was no coaxing...She brought it up, and said she wanted to do it...She makes it easy to be a proud father...
-
This weekend is The little Beeze's birthday...He'll be 5...The only thing he's asked for is Spike the Dinosaur...Spike costs about $130...So I'm probably gonna sell off an organ or some blood this week...I mean with all the material he gives me for this blog, I kinda owe him...Which by the way, I got a e-mail this week from his teacher...She asked if we knew of a reason why he would be grabbing his junk so much...She has asked if he needed to go to the bathroom...He would say no...But would keep grabbing it...She thought maybe it could be a nervous habit...I'm not quite sure how to tell her that 1) He's a Beeze...And 2) He's discovered he gets boners, and is completed enamored by it...
-
And lastly...Wednesday I turn the big 34...This has my older wife bothered...She asked me what I wanted for my birthday..."Besides a Blumpy"...I said..."I want ATM!"

-
Have a great week...

Later, The Beeze.

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Bed...



That's what I was saying a couple months ago...

Let me start by saying, this is nothing sexual...Yes, sex is what started this whole problem, but this post isn't about sex...This first popped into my head after an old friend named Bridget had commented on facebook about the new found independence of her daughter, and a feeling of not being needed...It's amazing how Kindergarten changes them...

It got me thinking about my two kids, and how they've grown...And how hard it can be...Part of our job as parents is to have them ready for life in the real world...Yet when they start taking those steps, it can hurt...The first time you go away for a weekend, and leave them with grandma and grandpa...Those first days of school...Their first sleep over...And it's just gonna get worse as they get to the point of dating, and asking for the car keys...F**k that!

Lately, I've been dealing with some of these feelings myself...

There's a problem in our house with sleeping...I call it a problem, but I think my wife and I hold on to it...Maybe it's our way of feeling we're still needed...

When my daughter was born, and the first year or so, I was working an average of 67 hours a week...Her bound with my wife seemed even stronger then the typical mother daughter bound...She slept in our bed every night...Hell that's the most I saw her for awhile...Their bound hasn't been broken yet, and she ends up in our bed at some point, almost every night...

My son is about to be 5...I gave up on sleep almost 5 years ago...He had many problems as a baby...First there was a reflux issue...Prescription for Pepcid fixed that...Then there was trouble crapping, and getting gas out...This caused him serious pain and discomfort...The worst was at night when he was trying to sleep...He was constantly trying to push gas out...Crying and miserable...The only way he could get a few hours of solid sleep, was if he was being held...Every night, there I was on the couch with my boy...This went on for months...Even after the doctors put him on a formula that cost $40 a can...A can lasted a day...That was when we officially went broke...

He got in the habit of being snuggled...And I had gotten in the habit of comforting him...Up until a month ago, I would end up in his bed...He would be calling for me, and in I went...Why not...His big sister was stealing my covers anyway...But I felt we had to break these habits...Then he realized his sister was always ending up in our bed...So he started giving that a try...Now I was getting pissed...We've been working hard at it for a couple weeks now...He's doing better then his sister...He did the last 5 nights without coming up, or calling for me...I'm proud o him...

So now comes the strange part...I think I'm having more trouble adjusting then he is...All I've wanted was to get a good nights sleep in my own, wonderful, king-sized bed...Now I find myself, worrying about him...Wanting to check on him...I know...I'm f**king nuts!

I'm sure some of you are thinking, 'What a douche!' Maybe...I know I've changed since I've had kids...Something happens to you when you are there pulling a life out of the woman you love...It's the scariest and most amazing moment of your life...The wiring is a little different after that...

So I guess as our kids grow up, and grow out of things...We need to follow suit...

Later, The Beeze.

U2 Full of Bullocks

I've always been a fan of U2...Being Irish, I kinda have to be...But I have always loved their music...When I was young, my brothers took me to the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium for The Joshua Tree tour...That was it...I was hooked...One of the best albums of all time...One of the best shows of all time...

Since then, U2's stage shows have gotten bigger and bigger...So has Bono's ego...And his mouth...I don't mind the ego...Front men have that...Hell, I think they need it...The big mouth was always kinda cool too...He used his celebrity to try and help people...he made noise about things that many people didn't want to hear about...I always thought that was great...

U2 has always been involved in humanitarian work...They've also never had a problem talking about the environment...Now listen...I'm no hippy dippy, tree hugging, the sky is falling environmentalist...I think there are some things that can be done to improve things...But really, we're all guests here on Earth...When it's done with us...We'll know....

"Global Warming" "Climate Change" "Green This" and "Green That" are more catch phrases then anything else...Scaring people about the environment and "fixing" the environment is becoming big business these days...But whatever...I'm not really here for a political debate...I'm just here to call out some hypocrisy....

U2 wants to talk about humanitarian work, and being more "Green"....Well then what the f**k is with this....



That's U2's Stage setup for this tour...Cost...$40 million...Little excessive, don't you think boys?
$40 million...You could do some good sh!t with $40 million...I know, lights and screens and all kinds of goofy sh!t is cool...You know what else is cool...Four guys, on a stage playing their songs without a bunch of smoke and mirrors....


Oh, and how do they get this massive stage setup around...with 100 tractor trailers...That's 100 big ass trucks burning diesel fuel...I think you could have trimmed the show down to maybe 50 truck loads fellas....


Oh, and in case you were wondering...Tickets start at $49 (nose bleeds) and go up to $250 (some what close to the mosterous stage) I've seen some packages for the seats right up in front for over $500...I've also read and heard that they aren't playing a number of the classic songs, because Bono is having trouble hitting the notes...
-
And since I'm being a d!ck to one of my favorite bands of all time...The last couple albums have blown...I won't be spending my wife's hard earned money on any U2 shows for quite some time!
-
BTW, Joshua Tree Tour tickets...$18...Ahhh, the good old days!

Monday Moaning

Here we are again....Another Monday is upon us...This weekend wasn't too exciting at the Beeze household...The highlight Sunday was probably, taking the kids to see "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs." The 3-D thing was cool...Better then any 3-D crap we had when I was a kid...The kids like the book, so they were really looking forward to seeing the movie...They really enjoyed it...Time wise it was really good too...I hate when they do a kids movie and it runs longer then an hour and a half...

If you catch it in 3-D be ready to pay more...$34 dollars for the wife, 2 kids and myself...Then popcorn, and drinks, was another $25...WTF!

While we were there the two little Beezers found out they're re-releasing the "Toy Story" movies in 3-D soon...Better start saving up some cash...

So why was this the highlight...1) Because the wife fell asleep early and didn't give any up...2) The Cleveland Browns took the field against the Denver Broncos...It wasn't pretty...The Brownies went out there wearing their stupid ass brown pants...WHY? Well, I guess if you're going to play like sh!t...You may as well look like sh!t....


Again the Browns didn't get in the end zone, as they lost to the Broncos 27-6...Unreal!

Saturday was a little better as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish beat Michigan State 33-30...Yeah, they won...But I wasn't really happy about how they played...
http://irishbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/09/irish-beat-spartans-33-30.html




Then there was my gambling Saturday...I had Toledo getting 20 from Ohio State...LOSS...I had Florida giving The Vols 29...Loss...I really thought the Gators were gonna kill them...To bad I didn't have Washington beating USC or Middle Tennessee upsetting Maryland...Then Sunday I got knocked out of my "Knockdown Pool" along with everyone else who had the Packers...How do you lose to the Bengals? Get it back next week...

In the Hockey World...Preseason games have started...I can't really get into it yet...I love hockey, but I have a problem with both hockey and baseball...Their seasons are too long...I'd love to see baseball cut some games...They shouldn't start the season until May and end in September...Hockey should start late in October and end no later then may...The Stanley Cup finals in June makes me nuts...the World Series being played in the cold fall nights of October is almost as stupid as opening day in April snow showers...But I'm spinning out of control here...

The big news in the hockey world was Phil Kessel being traded from the Boston Bruins, to the Toronto Maple Leafs, for first round picks in 2010 and 2011...and a second round pick in 2010...


The contract talks with Kessel have been a pain for the Bruins...And the media have taken some shots at him for not always playing to his potential...Word is, the Leafs and him have already worked out a 5 year, $27 million deal...

Good news for my New York Rangers this weekend, as they finally worked out a deal with their young, talented, center, Brandon Dubinsky...2 year $3.7 million...

Now, this week I'd Like to close with a song...the lovely and talented, Billy the Kid just put out a new video for her song "These City Lights." Hope you enjoy...




Have a great week...

Later, The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Well who the hell would have thought that going to the Indians game Friday night, would have been the highlight of my weekend...Sports wise that is...

I can't believe it myself...Even worse, was my total and complete anger and rage about having to go...I was coaxed by one of my bosses to go...The owners of The Fish House had a bunch of tickets...Including some for a suite next to the Indians dugout...Now this sounds cool, but I of course, being an angry, cynical, asshole was pissed...Why not throw me some tickets when the Red Sox were in town early in the season...Before the Indians were a total joke...

No us lowly employees got to see Kansas City in September...The Royals vs the Columbus Clippers...I mean Indians...Awesome!

But I dragged my sorry, ungrateful, ass there...Threw down a couple beers before the game...Then we headed into the Jake...(yeah I still call it that...Tough sh!t) Then we got to the suite...Holy sh!t...We were right behind the on deck circle...At ground level...You really get to see the speed of the game from there...Even better...FREE BEER...FREE FOOD...Hells yeah!

The game was a 1-1 thriller...Then the royals went up 2-1 in the 12th...Game sucked...But I didn't expect it to be great...But I had a great time with some cool people, and drank for free...Can't beat that...Oh yeah, and there was fireworks too...


Then Saturday came...Notre Dame vs Michigan...In case you missed my post game write-up... http://irishbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/09/fighting-irish-fall-to-michigan-38-34.html

I hate losing to Michigan...The Irish defense looked like crap...Getting burnt by Freshman QB Tate Forcier...Kid played a hell of a game...Then there was big, fat, Charlie Weis, and his stupid as play calling...And of course the penalties didn't help...Or Golden Tate dropping two touchdown passes...I was sick all night...


Then I saw another freshman QB, Matt Barkley from USC, lead his team back to beat Ohio State...I honestly have never been a Luckeyes fan...But the only team I hate more Michigan is USC...Really it's kind of a tie...

Then Sunday rolled around...I took the kids to sign up for more ice skating and swimming lessons...Then we went to the grocery store...Then I cut the grass...Then it was time for the Browns to take on that douche bag Brett Favre and the Minnesota Viking...Well they really had to worry about Adrian Peterson more then anyone else...The defense played hard, but was worn out...If it wasn't for a Josh Cribbs return for a touchdown, the game would have been even uglier...He's looking like the teams MVP once again...
-
-
Being a sports fan in Ohio can be a real b!tch...Hell, look at the Cincinnati Bengals...Their defense played a heck of a game today...Then they lose the game a fluke tipped pass, caught by Brandon Stokley...Who runs it all the way down, including taking the scenic route, to the end zone for a 87 yard touchdown, with only 11 seconds left...It's just brutal here...
-
Even my local high school team took a beating this week...The Brooklyn Hurricanes 0...Cleveland Central Catholic 32...Bad, bad, sports weekend...
-
Now I know many of you look forward to stories about my son...Well this weekend, he was mostly just a pain in the ass...That and totally enthralled by his boners...He gets the biggest kick out of it...And loves showing it off...What is it that they say about apples falling from trees...
-
Have a good week...
-
Late, The Beeze.

-
Okay, so I'm adding on here at the end now...I just read about the stupid VMA award show, and saw what Kanye West did to Taylor Swift...If you didn't hear about it here ya go... http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/hiphopmediatraining/171413/kanye-west-has-truly-lost-it-this-time/?page=1#comments





What a low-life piece of sh!t...People always try to throw that Karma BS at me when I get a little harsh...Well I don't believe in Karma...I think it's a way people try to explain sh!t away...I believe in me...And now I believe the world would be a much better place if Kanye West wasn't in it...F**k that douche bag...I hope he chokes on a c*ck!

Now I'm done.

Fighting Irish Fall to Michigan (38-34)


I believe that picture says it all...Nothing makes me quite as sick as losing to Michigan...It's not just a Notre Dame thing...Or an Ohio thing...I believe the disdain I have for The University of Michigan is something I was born with...Today's loss makes me hate them more...But I have to give them some credit...

Freshman Quarterback, Tate Forcier played his a$$ off...And he showed great poise and awareness out on the field...His receivers did a nice job for him as well...

Now I must point some fingers at the Irish sidelines...There was some play calling that really sucked...My biggest problem...Late in the game, with the lead...It's time to eat the clock...So Charlie decides to throw another deep ball to Golden Tate, who was having some troubles today, catching the ball (2 passes that would have been Touchdowns)...WHY? There was no reason...The Irish were running the ball well all day...This call ended giving Michigan plenty of time and 2 timeouts for their game winning drive...

Next, Notre Dame didn't use tight end Kyle Rudolph enough...Michigan's defense didn't anyone who could have matched up well against him...Then there was the trouble of getting the plays called in a timely fashion...Timeouts burned because of that, and penalties...Oh the penalties...They always seem to bite you in the a$$...Although the unsportsmanlike call on Allen was BS...He isn't the first guy to run into the end zone and hold a finger over his mouth the shss the crowd...Weak call...Since we're talking about the refs...They sure missed a number of interference calls on Michigan...3 times a Michigan defender had Tate's arm locked up, or an arm around him...Way to suck zebras...And b the way...What the Hell happened to those 2 seconds that fell off the clock at the end of the game?

But I honestly hate to blame refs...The Irish defense, got beat...Flat out...More then once...The offense played well...With the exception of the penalties and dropped touchdown passes...The third quarter was sloppy...And again, I blame much of that on the coaching/play calling....

Some stats from today...Clausen 25 -42 with a 336 yards...3 touchdowns...Allen rushed for 139 yards, and a touchdown, on 21 carries...Michael Floyd had 7 receptions for 131 yards and 1 touchdown, before leaving the game with a leg injury...Golden Tate had 115 yards and 2 touchdowns with 9 receptions...

The Irish had 9 penalties for 75 yards...490 total yards...336 passing and 154 on the ground...They were 6-14 on 3rd down...1-1 on fourth...Time of Possession was 31:25...And like I said...the defense got beat more then once...Giving up 190 yards on the ground, and 240 through the air...Forcier had 70 of those rushing yards...

When the game ended, my first feeling was...'Fire Weis Now!' I'm passionate about this stuff...Maybe too much so...But the play calls late in the game made me crazy...The Irish offense wasn't having to much trouble doing what they wanted to do...Kill the clock!

In my opinion, the Irish have to win every game left on the schedule for Weis to keep his job...If that's gonna happen, the defense better get working a little harder, because a freshman QB from Michigan just owned you...Highlighted by 31 yard run on a fourth and 3...Where he faked Darius Fleming out of not only his shoes, but everything including his jock.

Back to work gentleman...Next up is Michigan State coming off a loss to Central Michigan...

Later, The Beeze.

In Case Anyone Forgot...


September 11 is upon us once again...A day that should always be remembered by Americans...Not just for the sadness and anger and fear it brought us...But also for the strength and character of many people that we saw because of this tragedy...

I don't forget...I won't forget...I can give you every single detail of my life that day...Where I was and what I was doing when the first plane hit...The phone ringing moments later...Not answering it...Listening to the message from my mom...Putting on the TV and being horrified and angry when the second plane hit...I remember everything...

I remember my wife hours later wanting to get out of our apartment, to try and get away from it...But we couldn't...Our first child was due in a few months...We stopped at a store and got a couple things, including a baby toy...We still have, and knowing my wife, we'll always have it...

We went to eat...TVs were on, with the volume all the way up...We barely ate...We fell asleep with the TV on...I'm sure we weren't the only ones...I got 3 hours of sleep and went to work...But none of us at work cared about doing our jobs...

Yes, I'm rambling...This is just me remembering something I can't forget, even if I wanted to...None of us should forget...That's just my feeling...So take a moment as you go through your day...And just remember those that lost their lives that day...Remember those who lost loved ones...And remember the greatness we saw in people as they were experiencing the worst moment of their lives...And be grateful for yours...

That said, I thought I'd share one of my favorite versions of The National Anthem...In 1968 when Jose Feliciano performed it...He was booed...He had stirred things up...Something that has always happened in this country, and has helped make us what we are...In my opinion, it's just beautiful....

If that doesn't cover it...Maybe Zakk Wylde can...

In case you forgot...I'm here remembering...

More Ranting...

I guess I didn't get it all out of my system last night...This should be short and sweet though...

I've been hearing a lot about the new Beatles Rock Band game...My nephew plays the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games...I like video games, but this one makes me a little crazy...Are we going to have a whole generation of kids that know how to press buttons on a fake guitar, instead of actually play one?


Not if I have anything to do with it...Last year when we went to visit family in Boston...I brought a guitar...Know what I did with it? I gave it to my nephew...Time for the real deal...And you've got a better chance of getting a chick to do things to you if you play an instrument, then if you pretend to play one...

That's right kids, it's more fun to actually play guitar, then it is to pretend...Also learning to play, and make music is a much greater accomplishment then being a fake...Ask Milli Vanili!

Moving along, I guess Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina didn't read my post last night...I wish he would have...Maybe he wouldn't look like such a douche right now...I don't care that you disagree with the President on Health care...Have at it...But don't be that guy...The guy that you were tonight...What kind of dummy sits there as the President addresses Congress and the country and yells at him? Apparently you do sir...DOLT! Stay Classy South Carolina...


(Sorry B-Dub!)

Now let me touch on a little Sports...The Pittsburgh Pirates just this week, clinched their 17th straight losing season....REALLY? Why the hell do you even show up anymore...Not just the team...The fans too...Year after year of crap...This once proud franchise has won five World Series...They've appeared in 7...Greats like Honus Wagner, Pie Traynor, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Bill Mazeroski, And Ralph Kiner...

Now look at them...After looking into this more, I saw that the Pirates have a Home record of 36-34...By the way, PNC Park is a great stadium...But then when the Pirates hit the road...They are 18-50...WTF!!! What the hell are you guys doing on the road? Seriously...What is keeping you from at least playing .500 ball on the road?

Here's how we fix this...Either sell the team to some one who has an understanding of how to run a franchise...Hey, they're out there...The Steelers and Penguins are doing fine...If not that...FOLD...Baseball is too watered down talent-wise anyway...

And since we're sh!tting on the Pirates...Lets take out the Baltimore Orioles too...Yep...I said it...12 straight losing seasons and no sign of life in the future seems like reason enough for me...The Orioles with 3 World Series rings, and 6 appearances...Oriole greats like Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Hoyt Wilhelm...And you know Earl Weaver wants to choke the sh!t out of some one about this!

It's sad to see this happen to once great teams...But I look at some of these franchises and wonder...Are they even trying? And before anyone takes a shot at me...I know the Indians blow...And if they even get close to 17 straight losing seasons...Believe me...I'll want them to fold too...

That's all for tonight...

Later, The Beeze.

It's Everywhere


I think that image says a lot...But I've got some sh!t I need to get off my chest...

I hate to get political...But I've had enough with some of the bullsh!t that has been going on...First, I'm registered as a Democrat...Do I believe in everything that party says, or stands for? No...That said, I want the douche bag politicians and douche bag media on the right, to stop calling me a liberal, socialist, blah, blah, blah!

Listen you dolts...I can be a Democrat and not be a liberal puss...By the way my party has been slowly turning into a lot of pusses...There are people who own guns, don't like abortion, and are tired of their taxes going up, who are Democrats...By the way...I love the ass hats on the right who call me (for example) liberal, while they're in the closet with little Johnny...So will those idiotic talking heads on the right please shut up and suckle me...

Now to the douche bag politicians and media on the left...Feel free to suckle me also...I'm a Democrat...That doesn't mean I have to be so damn liberal, that I sit in the corner sucking my thumb, saying 'please don't hurt me'...Like so many of you sorry bastards do...So stop trying to tell me to be liberal...And by the way...Grow some stones...The Democratic party has gotten soft...The "leaders" say one thing, but always seem to back down...Not because their opponent is right...Because they're afraid to piss people off...Knuckle up!

The worst thing about most politicians...Then don't care what we think...They don't listen to the people whom they represent...The system is screwed, and so are we...

Since I'm going on about political bullsh!t...A number of schools in the Cleveland area didn't show President Obama's address to school students today...Why? No, seriously, I'm f**king asking why! There was no uproar when President Reagan did it...There was some stink after the first President Bush did it...Why is it we tell our kids to be active...be aware of what's going on in the world...We make sure that they register to vote when they are 18 and still in high school...But then the President wants to go on the air and tell them how school is important...To work hard...Do what you have to, to achieve your goals...Take responsibility for yourself...Why and how could that be bad?

I read the speech Monday night...It was released ahead of time, because there were idiots in the media saying that he was going to feed our children socialist messages...Well he didn't...But it would be better then the lies and bullsh!t you're trying to feed us...

And when did we stop calling our Presidents...President 'So and So'? I'm I the only person bothered by the fact that for years now, not just average Joe, but the media, don't respect the office of the President...It's not just President Obama...Who is always referred to as "Obama." It was done to Presidents Bush and Clinton and Bush, and even some with President Reagan...This bothers me, and disappoints me...

Maybe it's just the way I was raised...You showed respect to authority...Even if you disagreed...You respected the flag...You didn't call the people who oppose you, and that you oppose, "assholes"...At least not in public, on camera...There is a growing lack of respect in this country, not just for those we disagree with...But also a lack of respect for ourselves...

I understand hate...It's part of life...But it seems like there is more these days...Hell I'm feeling some in me now...Go Figure! And some of this crap is fueled by the media...They love the controversy...Don't let them fool you...MSNBC and FOX love it when Olberman goes after Beck or O'Reilly...and vice versa...Hate sells...It's number 2, right behind sex!

Maybe I'm wrong...But I never think so...And if I did I wouldn't tell you...Maybe I'm just tired and stressed, and need to go to bed...But I can never sleep when the voices are screaming like they've been today...So I had to let them out...

I've been told countless times in my life, that I worry too much...Not just about big things, but small things too...I never thought is was that bad of a trait...With that, I'm going to bed...

Monday Moaning ( late edition)

Sorry to be late with the Moaning, but the Beeze family was away Sunday and some of today...We took the kids to Splash Lagoon in Erie PA...http://www.splashlagoon.com/

They love it...I like the bar and Restaurant that is attached to the hotel and water park...A little place called Boston's...http://www.bostonpizza.com/en/Default.aspx


Great food, atmosphere, and the beer is always good...

I head back to the Fish House Tuesday, I was off this past week and I enjoyed it thoroughly...I spent a lot of that time online...Finding things that pissed me off, or just writing about whatever was going on...Feel free to scroll down and check it all out...

I touched on all kinds of stuff...I gave The Melting Pot a second chance, to make a great first impression...Hell any impression that was better then the last one...Brett Favre being a douche...A douche in Purple...F**ked up commercials for the WWF using 9/11 to try and make their stupid point...The messed up way that chicks are treated so we can eat them...College football's sucker punch heard 'round the world...Oh and lets not forget, The Fighting Irish putting a total and complete ass-kicking on the Nevada Wolfpack!
-
I was impressed by the Irish offense...The defense was solid, but need to be tougher against the run...
-
The Ohio State Luckeyes squeaked out a win against Navy...Oklahoma lost to BYU...And they lost their starting QB Sam Bradford...The early word is 3-5 weeks...That's one Big-12 team out of the way, to help the Luckeyes sneak into the Championship game...Although I don't thing they'll beat USC...Not if they play like they did against Navy...BTW Pryor isn't a quarterback...Go ahead and keep listing him there, but he's no quarterback...
-
Speaking of quarterbacks...
-
NFL teams have made their final roster cuts, including the Browns...But we still don't know who the hell the starting Quarterback will be...I'm losing my patience with new coach Eric Mangina...There are trade rumors swirling, but nothing seems concrete...There was also talk that the Browns would cut Jamal Lewis...Didn't happen...Again this just shows you...You're better off reading the Beeze, then checking out what "the professionals" think...Clearly they think wrong...
-
My community's high school team this week...Bounced back from a tough loss last week and won big this week...Brooklyn Hurricanes 47, Lincoln West 20...The 'Canes were up 40-6 at halftime...Way to go guys!
-
I'm gonna cut this week short...I'm tired and need some coffee...Where to go?



Okay, based on her...I'm going to Dunkin'...She's a gamer!


Since this is called Monday Moaning...Let's end with a little moaning...

Fighting Irish Dominate Nevada (35-0)

This morning I heard Mark May say this..."Nevada will run all over Notre Dame in the opening game upset." Now let me be clear...I've never liked Mark May, and that made me dislike him even more...But as I watched the Fighting Irish do nearly anything and everything to the Nevada Wolfpack, that they wanted to...I thought of stupid Mark May and the stupid words that came out of his mouth...And I smiled...
-
That said, I did think that Nevada was going to give the Irish a tougher game...But I'm glad they didn't...
-
The Irish moved the ball well in their first series, including Weis going for a fourth and short, which he has done consistently through his career...But this time he didn't have to pass for it...This year's Fighting Irish can run the ball...There was an explosiveness from the offensive line we haven't seen in the last few years...The opening drive ended with a 19 yard touchdown pass from Clausen to tight end Kyle Rudolph...The fact that Rudolph was covered well didn't matter...As his 6'6" frame went up over the defender to get the ball...
-
In the second quarter Clausen hit WR Michael Floyd twice for touchdowns...The first was a 24 yard reception...The next one was a quick strike followed by 70 yards to the end zone as Golden Tate threw a good block that helped spring Floyd...
-

The Irish scored again in the second quarter on a 1 yard run by Armando Allen...Set up by a 19 yard run by Jonas Gray...

Clausen had started out completing 10 of his first 11 passes, for 184 yards, and 3 touchdowns...He would add to the numbers in the third by connecting with Floyd again on an 88 yard touchdown reception...

Clausn would finish 15 for 18 with 314 yards, and 4 touchdowns...Floyd had 4 receptions for 189 yards and 3 touchdowns...Golden Tate had 3 receptions for 59 yards...Allen rushed for 72 yards and 1 touchdown, on 15 carries...Gray had 50 yards on 9 carries...

The defense clearly had a great game, keeping the Wolfpack off the scoreboard...Kyle McCarthy and Robert Blanton both had interceptions and the defense also recovered a fumble on a dropped option pitch...


Final game stats for the Irish...1st downs: 20...Total Yards: 510...Passing: 332...Rushing: 178... 3rd down conversions: 6-12...4th down conversions: 1-2...0 turnovers...Time of Possession: 33:40

Great way to start the season...Next up...Michigan.

College Football Season Has Started....

And so has the good sportsmanship...

After running his mouth leading up to the game...LaGarrette Blount didn't like what Boise State's Byron Hout had to say, after the Broncos beat Oregon last night 19-8...So Blount blasted him in the chin...Then he got into it with his teammates...Then some Boise State fans taunted him, and he tried to go after them, and had to be restrained by coaches, players and security...





If losing wasn't bad enough for the Ducks...Now they're going to spend all week fielding questions about their running back who can't control his temper...It may be a long season for the Ducks...

Other scores from last night...Utah beat Utah State 35-17
South Carolina beat NC State 7-3
and North Texas defeated Ball State 20-10

I love college football...I like it more then the NFL even if the BCS system sucks, which it does...Maybe because I'm a Cleveland Browns fan, and I just haven't had much to cheer about...

And on the Browns for just a second...What the hell is Eric Mangina doing? He refuses to name a starting QB...And in last night's preseason game, the two guys competing for the job, Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson, didn't play...Ben Ratliff played...What Mangina...Your third string QB from the Jets last year is gonna be the answer, over a first round pick, or a former pro- bowler...Get your head out of your a$$ and name the starter already...

My opinion it should be Quinn...Who knows what Mangina thinks!

Back to College Football now...Saturday my Fighting Irish open their season with Nevada...I think it will be a good game...But the best thing that could happen for Charlie Weis, is the Irish pounding the hell out of Nevada...A strong start would help the mood of the Irish faithful...

The defense will be lead by their deep and talented secondary, lead by hard hitting safety Kyle McCarthy...

The Offense and the team will be looking for Quarterback Jimmy Clausen to step up this year, be a real leader and live up to the hype that first came with him to South Bend...
-
If the Irish are going to actually wake up the echos...It has to start Saturday...I can't wait...

This Is F**ked Up!

Before I show you what is so f**ked up...At least in my opinion...I want to share this...I started blogging a little over a year ago at Sporting News...Then I started this blog and others...Before all this, I never had a computer...I didn't like them, never wanted one...I thought technology would be our downfall...That may still be true...But I have come to love the Internet, and technology, and all the things it can bring me...

I use to say twitter was "gay"...Gay in that 6th grade way, that is you trashing something you know nothing about...Now, because of twitter, I learn something new every day...Including how twisted and f**ked up people are...So much so, that they make me look sane...Here is an example...
-

Now the video...


This ad was created by the company DDB Brasil for the World Wildlife Foundation...The WWF is claiming they didn't approve it...While DDB Brasil president says they did approve it...The add was run one time...Then submitted for an award...Still with the WWF logo on it...I don't care who did or didn't approve...F**k them all...

I'm okay with ads trying to make a point...But this one went the wrong to try and make their point...


With technology, I guess we get the good and the bad...The bad being douche bags taking 9/11 and turning it into a sh!tty, preachy ad...The good being me finding it, sharing it, and ranting about it...

The Beeze Reviews The Melting Pot (take 2)


So last night, Mrs. Beeze, myself, and our friends Bryan and May went back to The Melting Pot...My review last time was sparkling...Yes we had a good time, and some good stories came out of it, which gave my review some extra life...But it wasn't the best...Management saw it and responded...First in the comment section...Then we communicated through e-mail...They made it clear that they wanted us to give them a second chance...

It had been he first time my wife and I had been there...Bryan and May had been there before and loved it...But after last time we were all let down...The main problem was the service...In the last review, our server Mike, took a beating...The food was good, but we had waited so long for everything, that we were A) Drunk...And B) just not into it...I also felt that the prices were too high...They still are, but I think that's true of most places...That combined with the economy right now, people are looking for more bang for their buck...

I would say that this time around, we got more bang for our buck...Our server was "Thunder Dan...
-
No, not "Thunder" Dan Majerle...Dan greeted us quickly, and took our drink order...While the ladies were choosing a bottle of wine he informed Bryan he'd be getting him another Great Lakes Grass Roots Ale, which he had started on at the bar...I ordered a Great Lakes Dortmunder...Dan jumped in and said, "You know we have Heineken tonight." I was shocked and said, "Really?" He replied by saying "We brought in a six-pack tonight." I informed him that I would take it...This made it clear to us that they knew who we were...I was the a$$hole who wrote the last review...I had commented how, they didn't have Heineken, and followed it with a WTF!??! Even funnier was Bryan now reciting lines from the last review...

Dan was very attentive and seemed to walk into some strange conversations...Like May talking about how romantic Bryan is when talking about sex...He likes to call it pu$$y pounding...Really, who doesn't? Dan got our vibe and was able to do his job and while adding his own two cents to whatever the conversation was...He understood we were there to have fun, eat, drink, and not afraid to spend money...He also gets the vibe of the restaurant...It's suppose to be a fun place...The servers are suppose to be interactive with the guests...I'm not sucking up in any way...If you've read me before, you know I'd be taking shots at Dan if he deserved it...But honestly, I felt like I knew the guy...That's a pretty cool feeling to get from a server...

Food wise, I think we all enjoyed it more this time...Partly because Dan was cool...Partly because we weren't waiting all night for it...And partly because we weren't all sh!t faced...

As they did last time we were there...The featured salad was the Caprese Salad...This made me laugh too, because it was one of the things I raved about from our first trip...3 of us had that...My wife had the Caesar...Cheese wise, we had the Cheddar, and the Swiss...Both were delicious...

Bryan and May had the Surf and Turf dinner for two...Split...She had the surf, he had the turf...My wife had the shrimp and steak...I had the French Quarter...Cajun seasoned steak, chicken, shrimp, and some Andouille sausage...It was great...I honestly enjoyed the food more this time...It was cooked the same...By us...I do love cajun, so that may have helped...But we all enjoyed it more this time...So I have to figure the biggest reason was the quality of service we got...

A little while later the manager came over and talked with us...He was great too...He also got our vibe, and wanted to make sure we were happy...He also informed us of a dinner they'll be having with Great Lakes Brewing Company later this month...A 4 course dinner with each course paired up with a Great Lakes Beer...We're in Eric!

We finished the night with some chocolate fondue, and bananas foster...It was at this point when I dubbed Dan as "cock strong" while he lit the table on fire...This was a nice bit of showmanship, that helps make The Melting Pot fun...

The Melting Pot hooked us up this time and made it a much better experience...We'll go back again, and we'll ask for "Thunder" Dan!

Later, The Beeze.

How's That Chicken Taste Now?


I first heard about this on Opie and Anthony this morning...So of course I went looking for it...Why?

Because I hate people who bitch about me eating veal, and the horrible way animals are treated...As they're shoveling a load of chicken in their fat face..

-
This isn't me making a political statement...I'm not going Vegan...F**k that! I love meat, including veal...I love chicken...I'll continue to eat that tasty goodness...I've got no problem being on top of the food chain...I've got the knife and the grill...I win!
-
If you don't like how veal tastes...Fine...Maybe you should have me make it for you...I'll make some Veal Osso Bucco that'll have you creamin' you jeans...But don't give me that animal cruelty argument...

Is it Just Me...

Or does Brett Favre look like a bigger douche bag in Purple?


Since I've started this blog, I think I've made it clear, that I'm not a Brett Favre fan...To be completely honest...I can't f**king stand him...He was my first inductee to the Skull F**k Hall of Fame...

Well now, I hate him a little more...After he threw a crack-back block this week, injuring Eugene Wilson...Crack-backs are a fine-able offense, with possible suspension...But considering how much the league and the media love to swing on Brett's nuts...I'm sure he'll just get a talking to...F**k that! The guy is a punk!




Just trying to use my hate of Favre constructively...
