Why are Talking-heads After Matt Williams Job?

I spend much time listening to SiriusXM Radio...Lately it has been mostly Mad Dog Sports, MLB Radio...I also watch the MLB Network for at least a couple hours each night...And there has been a constant I have noticed...All these talking-heads either want Matt Williams in the hot-seat, or they say he already is in the hot-seat...

I have to ask why? Why the hell are so many people going after a manager's job when it's just his second season on the job?  A manager who by  the way lead his team to a first place finish with 96 wins last season...

Yes, the Nationals are only 5 games above .500 right now...but they are right there in the thick of it all...And they made the move to strengthen their bullpen by adding Jonathan Papelbon...The bullpen being a major concern for many loud-mouth fans and sports writers...I just read an article from some DC area hack who says they need to move Stephen Strasburg to the bullpen now...Yeah, because changing a guys role to something he doesn't do when you are trying to make a playoff push sounds like a perfect timing move...DOLT!

...

Wait, I figured it out...I know why all these talking-heads are after Williams' job...They all picked the Nationals to go to the World Series this year...Oh how they hate to be wrong...So is this how they hedge their bets? They attack the manager of the team they picked because their pick isn't a lock...

We also know how sensitive the Sports Media are...They're much kinder to the warm and fuzzy coaches and managers...So when they question Williams decision making and managing skills, pointing to why he didn't use pitchers "X" and "Y" in situation "A" and "B," they don't like it when he says they weren't available today...Of course these media members question him on why they didn't know this earlier...Again they don't like his response of basically, 'It's none of your business!'

Williams has made it clear he is not going to broadcast who is or isn't available going into each game...Why would or should he?  Do these idiots not see that would give the opposing team an advantage...It is very rare to ever hear a manager pre-game, say whether or not certain relievers are available...

Another thing for these talking-heads to consider...Williams and teh Nationals have had to deal with some injury issues...Yes, all teams do...But just realize this...Williams had 5 starting fielders out, all at the same time...Names like, Werth, Zimmerman, Rendon, and Span...5 out of 8 is tough...Especially when a couple of those guys are looked at as key run producers...Two of his top three starters have seen time on the DL...

The fact that the Nationals are two and a half games back from 1st in their division, shouldn't lead to fans, and media attacking the second year manager...They should be excited that their team is getting healthy and making their push...We have seen many times before in baseball, it isn't always the best team that wins it all...It's often the team that gets hot at the right time...

Don't count out Matt Williams and the Nationals yet.

Give Me Five Minutes

Well, I'm here to report to you all, that Cleveland is not burning...Yes, LeBron James and the Miami Heat just won the NBA championship, and while plenty of people are on Twitter voicing their displeasure about the situation, they aren't going all Vancouver and burning the damn place to the ground...I mean it wasn't like the Heat beat Cleveland...They beat Oklahoma City...Sure most of Cleveland hitched themselves onto the OKC bandwagon, but they didn't give a shit who was playing...They just didn't want LeBron James to win...Well, toughs hit I guess...The dick-head won...

Now can we get back to say, maybe the scrappy Cleveland Indians, who have been playing their collective balls off...Nobody gave this team a chance of doing shit this season, yet here they sit at the top of the Central Division...Now, I'm a realist...The Central is crap, but none the less, many expected the Tribe to be in the cellar...No one expected Jason Kipnis to have 11 HR's and 41 RBI's did they? No one expected Derek Lowe to have 7 wins...Shit, some didn't even think he would make the squad...And the teams Ace, Justin Masterson may just be starting to put it all together...And the bullpen has been solid...

It sure will be nice to maybe hear the radio dolts in this town actually talking about a local team, instead of a douchebag that hightailed it out of here a couple years ago...Oh, and guys, ease up on the Browns chatter...These local radio dopes are dying for there to be a QB controversy in Browns camp...If you really think Weeden won't be the starter, then you should be fired...

Now, Monday I was all over the Sandusky trial...I'm still on it...The jury has begun deliberating, and as that happened, news broke that Sandusky's adopted son Matt was waiting in the wings to testify against his adopted father...The prosecution had him ready as a rebuttal witness, if Jerry Sandusky took the stand himself...apparently Matt had informed the prosecution that he too had been a victim of abuse...Which I had suspected after one of the other victims accounts about being in the shower with Matt and Jerry, and when Jerry started splashing soap on the boys, Matt got the hell out of there, like he knew what was next...

Then Travis Weaver was on Rock Center, telling his story of abuse at the hands of Sandusky...Sandusky started getting creepy with him when he was 10...His father worked at PSU, and Sandusky had threatened to get him fired if Travis went to the police...Sandusky also talked about wanting to adopt Weaver, a story that Weaver's father confirmed...At 14 Weaver left moved to Cleveland to live with his mother, but the damage was done...From the interview you can still see Weaver is trying to get past this all...He has filed a civil suit seeking damages from Sandusky, Penn State, and Sandusky's charuty the Second Mile...The case has been suspended, pending the outcome of this trial...

Weaver is not part of this case, but they have his Grand Jury testimony...In a post-script for the interview, it was explained that the state has Weaver and others in their back pocket, in case something goes wrong with this trial, and they need to go after Sandusky again...

Now before I end this, I thought I'd give some love to my Baseball team...This year, we are the Cubs...But we aren't some bunch of lovable loser...Remember, this is a everyone wins, no keeping score league...Well, if you did, like I do in my head, we would have lost our first two games...But with a little extra work, the gang is coming around...Our two games this week, we dominated...Everyone is starting to hit...Their fielding is getting better every game...But there is something I need to work with the Little Beeze on...Kid has a home run trot going...All the time...I told him he better put it in the outfield if he wants to jog...Any other time he's running around like a maniac...But on the base paths he's jogging...We'll work it out...

I said give me five minutes...And that's what I said to my wife before I started writing this...Yep, nothing like a good five minute fuck...Here's one of the best five minute fucks you'll ever see on TV...

In case you haven't been paying attention, "The Avengers" opened this weekend, and this flick is going to bust over $200 Million for the opening weekend...Holy shit!

Oh, and by the way, it was fucking awesome...The Mrs. and I checked it out Sunday evening...They did a great job with it...Great action, great humor, and it was cool seeing shots of Cleveland getting blown the hell up!

And then of course, there's Scarlett Johansson...Hot as hell and kicking ass!


Tonight Mrs. Beeze's name is Scarlett!

Now, onto sports...

-Ohio State got rid of cheater Tressel, and his dirty ways...The brought in Urban Meyer to get things back on track, never mind the dirt that comes with him from Florida...And then this weekend, THIS story broke...Shit is unreal in Columbus!

-Albert Pujols finally finally hit his first home run of the year...I don't really give a shit...I've enjoyed seeing his overrated, overpaid ass struggle...Fuck the Angels for giving him a ten year deal...DOLTS!

-The Kentucky Derby lived up to it's hype of being the most exciting 2 minutes in sports...As "I'll Have Another" (15-1) came from behind and beat out Bodemeister who lead the entire race...He also beat out my horse, Dullahan who was charging hard as well...My oldest daughter had her money on Bodemeister, so she was pretty pissed...

-Sunday I wrote THIS post about struggling Indians pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez...Then the prick goes out there and pitches a good game...

The Indians have been a bit of a hot topic this week...With the Tribe sitting in first place of their division, and the Texas Rangers coming to town for the weekend, all the radio guys could talk about was the poor attendance so far...Some of these guys ranted about how Clevelanders shell out money every year for Browns season tickets, even though they religiously suck, and the front office has made it clear, they couldn't give a fuck about the fans...And if you've read my blog before, you know that pisses me off as well...I refuse to spend a dime on the Browns...

As for people not turning out for the Tribe...Well, shit baseball in Cleveland, during April usually sucks...Most of April is normally cold...even nice days, it gets cold at night...Then of course, we have a shitty economy here right now...People are watching how they spend their money when it comes to entertainment...Families may plan on taking a vacation, and dropping $150-$200 to take the family to a ball game may not be in the budget...

As for the fans who use the Indians' cheap owner as an excuse to not go, I could agree with that, if they weren't dumping money into the Browns...Also, the Indians are winning, and last year they were competitive...So a bad team isn't an excuse...

That said, unlike some of these guys on the radio, I'm not going to rip people for not going to the Indians games...Why? Because fuck it, I don't go...Shit every single game is televised...If that isn't enough, how about this...Tickets cost too much...Beers cost too much...Hot Dogs cost too much...Parking costs too much...And if we aren't taking the kids, a baby sitter costs too much...We've got bills to pay...Tuition for the kids...And just because some ass-hat on the radio says we should go to games, doesn't mean shit to me...

Lastly, I've got a PENNY_FOR_YOUR_THOUGHTS on this topic...

Now, I've gotta go throw it in Scarlett...Have a week...

Well here we are again...The beginning of the week comes quick...The past week has been filled with a lot of tragedy...Tornadoes ripped across the country causing chaos, death and destruction...In North East Ohio people dealt with the aftermath of the Chardon High School shooting...Thursday good in people was on full display...I wrote about it HERE...And the Saturday, the people of Chardon formed a human wall to block the threat of assholes from the Westboro Baptist Church who planned on protesting...Those Westboro fuckers are complete ass-hats!

Then there was THIS news about the Browns Friday...What a joke!

In Sports there have been a couple stories out there...The New Orleans Saints possibly having a bounty system...I'm not sure why people would be shocked by this...It's Football...It's a violent game, and there are opponents that get under people's skin...And Football being a violent game, where you try to hurt opponents, makes it easy to hide the fact that you may be trying to actually hurt some one...

Spring Training is fired up, but I can't get excited for Baseball just yet...And the Indians have annoyed me already...This off season they didn't pick-up their option on the always injured, grossly overrated, strikes out too much, Grady Sizemore...Good I thought...He ain't worth $9 million...Then they signed him to a $5 million deal...Still not sure why since he was rehabbing a couple injuries...So what happens...He fucks up his back again...Has the same surgery Peyton Manning had on his neck, done on his lower back...Looks like he's done for the year...$5 million down the drain...

But there is one think that I really need to get out there...I fucking hate Basketball...I'm in my car, listening to Sports Talk Radio, and when local dolts aren't talking about what the Browns should do in the draft, they along with ESPN and FOX dolts are talking about Basketball...And Fuck Jeremy Lin! Seriously!

You fuckers in New York, and on the major networks need to wake up...There is only one sports team in New York worth talking...


That's right fuck-stains...The New York Rangers...42-15-7 is a hell of record, and they sit on top of the NHL standings with 91 points...With the best goalie around, Henrik Ludqvist, and a core of talented, young defensemen...Offensive threats like Marian Gaborik, Brad Richards, and their captain Ryan Callahan, who does everything on the ice...The Rangers roster is full of grinders, and brings a few thumpers with them...

They are all lead by their coach John Totorella...A no bullshit kind of guy, who expects the best out of all his players...He expects his players to have each others backs...And everyone on his team blocks shots...It doesn't matter who you are...You block shots, or you don't play...

The Rangers have been the most consitent, hardest working team in hockey...And they've done it all quietly it seems...Even many of the NHL talking heads haven't given the Rangers the time, and respect they deserve...Well it's time to wake up...The Rangers are on the road to the Cup, and they're a real son of a bitch to play against...Right Bruins? How about you Flyers? Yeah Philly, the boys in Blue own your ass!

That's it for now...

Have a week...And watch Hockey...

What a Dirty Bitch

What? Too Soon? Well, I've never been one to shy away from that...

Listen, I barely paid any attention to this whole Casey Anthony trial...The main reason being Nancy Grace...If that gash is beating on a story for 4 solid months, I'm pretty sure it's gonna piss me off...Why? 1. Nancy Grace could drive a nun to calling a kid, a no-good, cock-sucking, fuck-stain, piece of shit...2. The little I heard about Casey Anthony, made it clear that she was just as hateable as Nancy Grace...And she sounded pretty guilty...

Why would I want to spend time in a trial of a murderous, cunt of a mother, with a couple of whack-job parents who helped hide what happened to this little girl...Girl isn't reported missing for 31 days...No, Nothing shady there! What the fuck!?! After hearing some of the tapes of her on the phone from jail, talking to her idiot parents, it became clear to me that she was guilty, and her along with her idiot parents should all be removed from this Earth...These fuckers should not be allowed to breathe the same air as me!

So I didn't need Nancy Grace's non-stop coverage...Or that of most major news outlets...What happened to that little girl is awful...But the media has become really fucking lazy...They find one horrible story, and ride as long as they can...But it's time to wake up people...Kids are dying daily in this country...And I'm not just talking about dying from diseases...

The U.S. averages 4,000 deaths of children from gun violence a year...Why doesn't the media cover that as much as they covered this dirty twat...Let's be honest, the story became less about the poor, dead, little girl, and more about the skank mom and her fucked up family...The news media is a joke!

My bet, within a year, Casey Anthony will be dead, (OD, Murder, Suicide, Mystery) and Nancy Grace will have a new story to harp on relentlessly.

Freedom of Speech: Not Just For Radio Douchebags

That's right, Freedom of Speech is actually something we all have...But often I hear gasbags on the radio, and on TV who feel that right is only for the people who have a degree in communications...Well fuck all that!

Here's where I'm coming from...Today, after work, on my way to pick the kids up from school, I had the Scott Van Pelt Show on the Radio...SVP, and his co-host who gets screwed on the name recognition, Ryen Rusillo, were talking about a Scottie Pippen interview from the Mike & Mike Show...They were going on about some who is better, LeBron or Jordan...Blah, blah, blah...I fucking hate Basketball, but we all know Jordan was the shit...

Anyway, the topic seemed to go off track when Van Pelt started talking about how Jordan didn't have to deal with the same scrutiny as James, because "The world today is so cynical, and angry." And of course, most of the blame for this anger and cynicism was put on Twitter and Bloggers...My God, these talking heads love to hate on bloggers...I think they actually see themselves becoming irrelevant because of all the quality bloggers, and vloggers out there...

But guess what, Anger and cynicism have always been in this world...It's just now people have an outlet for it...An outlet that is easy for you, or anyone to access...In the good old days, I guy would have a shit day at work, hear something on the radio on his way home, that pissed him off...He get home, bitch about to his wife, who wasn't listening, and then go kick the dog, and tell the kids to leave him alone...Now he can pull out iPhone, or laptop, and fire off a tweet, or write a blog, and boom...That shit's off his chest, and the dog doesn't have any broken ribs...

But for some reason twats like these guys don't think our opinions matter....(I actually like their show, usually)...I've also heard this crap from one of my favorite comedians...Jim Norton who is also 3rd mic on my favorite radio show, The Opie and Anthony Show, has bitched about bloggers before...I've heard him go off, just bashing bloggers, and how they suck, and no one cares, and how they're needy for attention...What, and his ego isn't needy for attention, standing on stage, or talking on the radio? I love Norton, but this is one thing that bothers me...

Technology, and the Internet has afforded the everyman the ability to get their thoughts and opinions off their chest, and out there...It doesn't matter if 2 people read it, or 2 million...It's out there, and it's off my chest...Freedom of Speech wasn't just given to Radio show host...Newspaper Reporters, TV talking heads...It's not just for those with a degree in communications, or for a guys that got lucky and fell into a great job...It's there for all of us...Even dopes like me with a degree in business, who sweats his balls off in a kitchen for a living...So you can trash bloggers, and I can trash you...Eat a dick...That's the beauty of it!

Yes, I'm actually going to lead this blog off with a bit of Golf...Don't worry, I'm not going to get into all the gory details of Louis Oosthuizen's British Open victory...I'm not a Golfer...I'm not a Golf fan...But when the British Open comes around, I do take time to check in and see what's happening...Why? Well, I feel that's how golf should be played...The bunkers are taller then me, and you...The rough is taller then me...The wind is blowing like a son of bitch...The courses seem to test the golfers more...They make these guys earn it a bit more...And yes, we get to see some of the greats shit the bed...

Our good friend Tiger Woods had a bit of trouble with his putter this weekend...No, I'm not talking about his dick...Tiger has been known for his use of the word f*ck, as well as others...The guy has a bit of a temper when shit is going wrong...I'm okay with that...Hey, I'm one of those guys that would like to see a real "Happy Gilmour" out there...So Tiger is screwing up with the putter, and finally snaps, and says something like, 'Fuckity, fuck, fuck, fucking fuck!' It seems somebody forgot to use the delay, because Tiger's f*ckfest went out over the air...Now, guess what...The Heavens are falling to the Earth...

I was doing some yard work Sunday, and had my XM Radio on...I had put on the Mad Dag Radio Channel, which is a sports talk station...Some ass-hat on there is bitching and crying about Tiger swearing...He kept going on and on about how Golf is a Gentleman's game...Really? Are you sure about that, because you're expecting a guy who throws his dick in any nasty vagina to not swear, and to be a gentleman...Grow up douchebag!


Now that's a Gentleman's Game!

Later he said to a caller, "How should I feel if my child, who is 2 years old, but when hes 12, is watching golf with me and hears that?" The caller said, "That's life."

Let me expand on that...1. If your kid is 12 and sitting around on a Saturday watching Golf with you, I feel bad for him...Why not throw the ball around? Why not go play golf? Why not doing anything else? 2. If your kid is 12 and hasn't heard the word f*ck yet...He's f*cked! Jesus, he's the only kid in school who doesn't know that word...I knew it by 4...My son knew it by 2...(I swear he learned it from my wife)...By that rate, when Little Johnny No Swearing goes to the Senior Prom, he's not even gonna know how to f*ck! 3. This talking head is the same guy that will criticize athletes for not showing "heart" and "passion"...I'm sorry, Tiger may be man-whore, douchebag, f*ck-stain, but he's got "passion" and "heart" when it comes to Golf...Gentleman's Game...Grow up!

Next rant please...

So living in Cleveland, and watching the almost constant overhaul of the sports franchises, we get to hear the term "Winning Culture" quite a bit...The latest to use it has been new Cavaliers coach Byron Scott, and GM Chris Grant..."It's time for us to have a winning culture." Indians Manny Acta talked about it not to long ago...He brought up this whole bunch of crap about trying, and improving each game...Blah, blah, blah...Of Course the Walrus looking Mike Holmgren was throwing this "winning culture" crap around, when he rolled into town...Let me help all of you dolts out with this one...

If you want to have a "winning culture" there's only one thing you have to do...WIN! Just f**king win! There's no trying, and improving...There are just results...This isn't my Tee-Ball team...Hell, it's not high school...It's the big leagues boys...There is only a culture of results! I don't walk into the kitchen at the Fish House and say, 'Don't worry about service tonight guys, we've got a winning culture!' We go in there and we do our job, and we're lucky enough to get to come back and do it again tomorrow...It's like that all over the real world...If you shit the bed, and don't get the results the boss wants, you're gone!Stop with this nonsensical bullshit, and get the results...Win something, then you talk about your silly "winning culture."

Okay, now that I have all that out of the way...I have to talk a bit more about Mel Gibson...Everyday there's a new tape of him going bat-shit crazy...Yes, he sounds like a nut job, and it cracks me up...Opie & Anthony have been playing each new one as it comes out, and pick it apart...You can find those on YouTube, but I'm posting this funny little one here...One of O&A's producers put this together...Mel and Pat O'Brien's horny voicemail from back in the day...



Now, with that out of the way, there will be no Monday Moaning for the next two weeks...The Beeze family is going on vacation, and I'm going off the grid for about 10 days...No blogs, no facebook, no twitter...Just family, friends, beer, and fun...

Have a great week...

Happy 4th of July if you missed me saying it here, or at You Gab Sports, or at Sporting News, or on Twitter, or on Facebook...

Was there any sports going on to talk about? I gotta tell ya, I spent hardly any time paying attention to sports this weekend...I've watched about 2 innings of baseball...That's it...I think it was the red hats...Hey I like red...and I like hats...Just ask the guys at LIDS! And I'm all about being patriotic...But MLB, could we maybe have had one team where red caps and the other wear blue?

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about...Major League Baseball had every team wearing red hats this weekend with the team logo filled in with an American flag design...I think they did for Memorial day also...But it was too much red, and the Oakland A's look silly enough with there white shoes...Then you add a red cap with their green and yellow gear, and they are gay guy's nightmare! (don't be offended, gay guys love me...But I ain't gonna be a bottom...it's a joke)

The finals were held at Wimbledon and the match Federer and Roddick put on was amazing...Well, okay, I only watched the last set, but Christ it was as long as 3 sets...I was pulling for Roddick...Always go with the Underdog...Especially if he is an American who could sh!t all over some Swiss dudes record! unfortunately Roddick lost, but it was a hell of a match....

-

Now to the sad sports news...Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was found shot to death on Saturday...I'm not going to speculate on what all happened between McNair and the young woman who's body was found with his...I just feel sorrow for his wife and children...

I heard some of the talking heads on TV and radio discussing what this would do to his legacy as football player and as somebody who has always been well respected for his good deeds...Who the f**k cares!?! Kids lost their father...And a mother is left to try and explain it and raise them on her own...There are seriously times when the media are total f**king idiots...And based on the last week or so, they really show off how stupid they are when celebrities die...

In a little hockey news...The free agency madness has started...My Rangers signed the often injured Marian Gaborik to 5 year, 7.5 million dollar contract...The Chicago Blackhawks signed Marian Hossa to a 12 year deal...WTF!?! I guess the 'Hawks don't want to win the Cup for another 12 years! (and what's with all these dudes named Marian?) Martin Havlat left Chicago and jumped into Gaborik's spot in Minnesota...And a move that made me happy...The Columbus Blue Jackets signed Captain Rick Nash to a 8 year extension... http://www.yougabsports.com/?cmd=blog&nid=358041&ptitle=Columbus-Blue-Jackets-Make-a-Great-Move

But seriously...I'm tired from all the drinking I've done since Thursday night...So for any and all NHL moves stop over here.... http://www.nhl.com/

Thursday night Mrs. Beeze and I went out for dinner with two other couples, at this fondue place called The Melting Pot...Fondon't! I put down some notes that night and I'll be posting a review in the next day or two...But let's just say, if you are in the restaurant, and you have to call the restaurant to get your server to bring something...anything, to your table...The review isn't gonna be good! But we did get a nice buzz on, and had fun...And of course, some sloppy drunk sex!

Friday, I wanted to call off work and drive up to Buffalo to see Our Lady Peace...But I didn't...(There are videos from that show at the bottom of the sidebar) I went to work...Which was stupid and slow as hell...We were suppose to go to a party at an old friend's house that night...As we were getting ready...We had put some cream on the little Beeze, for his eczema...It was a new cream we were trying...He broke out with an allergic reaction in seconds....Off to the hospital...No party...It took a couple hours for it to settle down...After we got home, everyone went to bed...Except me...I drank...

Saturday, we had a birthday party to go to...Friends of ours son was turning the BIG 01...That's right 1 year old party...Which means...Excuse for adults to drink! BTW...I got little dude a sweet, green, Notre Dame #3 Jersey...It was on sale at LIDS...

I spent some quality time with our one friends baby...Which was giving me that it wouldn't be so bad to have another one feeling...Mind you I was buzzed...But this little peanut was cute, and kept drinking my beer...She's just like her mom!

The kids had a blast...My wife sucks at corn hole...I'm alright...But she sucks...And when the hell did corn hole go from sticking things in somebody's ass to tossing little sacks of corn at a wood board with a little hole cut out!?!

After we got home we watched some fireworks in the neighborhood, and watched Neil Diamond rock out with the Boston Pops...

Sunday was a lazy day...Thank God...And we got the big news...We took a pregnancy test a couple days before, and it was negative...But I don't trust those...Just like birth control, they're not 1000%...When I woke up, I was given the news that Aunt Flo had arrived...."And there was much rejoicing!"

That's it for now...Have a great week...
