Franchise Four Announced

So Major League Baseball let fans vote on something else besides the All-Star teams...Fans got to go online and pick their favorite team's "Franchise Four"...You teams Mount Rushmore basically...And while fans didn't totally blow it, they did do some idiot shit...

Franchise Four winners were selected from a list of 8 nominees from each franchise chosen by official MLB historian, John Thorn and representatives from the Elias Sports Bureau, MLB.com, MLB Network, and the Baseball Writers' Association of America...So, some of the idiot shit is the fault of these jokers as well...

Examples of idiot stuff: With all the greats from the San Francisco/NY Giants, some how Buster Posey was picked...He's an excellent player, but one of the Giants top 4...Really? Worse, Paul Goldschmidt from Arizona...The guy is just in his 4th full season...Yeah, they don't have a huge history, but a guy 4 years in with one huge year, and having another huge one this year...Still seems premature...

Speaking of premature...Giancarlo Stanton from the Marlins...Really!?! They guy has a .270 career batting average...That is just sad folks...Real sad, like Tampa Bay sad...Tampa Bay's history is so weak, Ben Zobrist was picked!

Then you have teams with huge and rich history...the Dodgers and Yankees, can't argue those at all, and almost feel like if you gave them 8 instead of 4 it would be justified...I think White Sox fans really screwed up not putting Eddie Collins...And Red Sox fans look like dolts not putting Cy Young in there...You know, just 511...

Then comes my hometown Indians...Bob Feller felt like a no-brainer...I was proud to see Tris Speaker in there (often underrated)...Then Jim Thome and Omar Vizquel...I always sang the praises of Vizquel for his great defense, and becoming a good hitter...He was steal from Seattle, in which the Tribe gave up Felix Fermin...And yes, those two guys were huge in the 90's...And fans loved them...I get it...And Thome has 612 HR's so that looks sexy...But Vizquel (.272 avg...80 HR's...951 RBI) over Larry Doby? Larry Doby (.283 avg...253 HR's...970 RBI)...the second black in Baseball, first in the American League...Or over Earl Averill (.318 avg...238 HR's...1164 RBI)...But worse then that, Nap Lajoie was not picked...A .339 avg...80 HR's and 1599 RBI...That folks is a sin...The team was at one time named the Naps in honor of their second baseman/manager...

Fan voting is and always be flawed, because many fans don't know all their history, and are blinded by their favorites....

Fans also voted in three additional categories: Greatest Living Player, Greatest Negro Leagues Player and the sport's Greatest Pioneers....Here are all of the Franchise Four...

Now that's some motivation to workout!  Although, if she was at my gym, I'm not sure I'd be working out the areas that need it most!

But I'll get back to exercise in a minute...

After last week, I thought I'd be done covering major NHL moves, but I forgot what a financial pinch the Chicago Blackhawks are in...There was a lot of talk that 33 year old F- Patrick Sharp would be traded, and it finally happened Friday night...Sharp who has been a leader on and off the ice during this run of the Blackhawks that has brought 3 Stanley Cups...Benefiting from Sharp's experience and skill will be the Dallas Stars...Along with Sharp, Chicago also sent prospect D- Stephen Johns...In return the Blackhawks get D- Trevor Daley and F- Ryan Garbutt...with this deal, the 'Hawks also free up $2.5 million per year for the next couple years...

First off, clear cut winner in this deal is Dallas...Experience, skill, grit, leader, 3 rings...While Johns is a prospect, he's a prospect who could possibly find his why into the lineup this coming season at some point...

Dallas fans may feel they have gotten weaker/thinner at D, the truth is, Daley was forced into playing as a top-pair defensman...He isn't that...He isn't a D-man who should be going against another teams top line always and racking up more then 22 minutes a game...He'll be better off in Chicago...I predict his production will go up...

Dallas should look at making a move (signing or trade) for a veteran D-man...33 year old Johnny Oduya (spent last 3 and a half seasons with Chicago) is the top free-agent D-man left out there, with Chicago trying to figure out a way to get him back...Buffalo is also trying to make a push for him...

Garbutt is a 29 year old grinder/agitator...He throws a lot of shots on goal, but only racked up 8 goals in 67 game last year...He's a 29 year old version of the Blackhawks 23 year old pest, Andrew Shaw...There are rumbling in Chicago that they should look at moving Shaw who is making $1.5 million right now, compared too the $900,000 cap hit Garbutt brings...

Dallas knew Chicago was in a tight spot...The whole NHL knew it...It's a salary cap world, and you aren't going to win trades, when you are making solely to free up cap space...And I'm not even sure the 'Hawks will break even on this one...

- Moving on....The MLB All-Star game is upon us, and Monday night is the Home Run Derby...MLB loves pushing this every year, and they have tweaked it this year in hopes that it won't start boring us...This year they participants are setup in a single elimination, bracket format...

Here's my prediction...The Final will be Bryant vs. Frazier...And Frazier will make the hometown fans proud...Who do you got?


- Now I mentioned something about exercise...Oh, yeah, that lovely lady up top...Yes, she could motivate me...

But recently my wife has motivated me as well...We're both overweight...We've watched a couple movies about health and food, and started buying as much organic stuff as possible, which is expensive as fuck...We've been having a juice for two meals a day...Fresh, organic fruits and veggies, juiced...Mmmm, delicious! They aren't gross, but it's been tough cutting some of the crap out...And yes, I've been hitting the exercise bike every day, and plan on mixing in more exercise during the week...I may checkout the local fitness center, to see if they have any trainers like that hottie up top...So far my wife has lost 10 pounds in two weeks...I've lost 5...

- Last week when the story/video of Florida State QB De'Andrea Johnson hitting a female in a bar broke, it got me thinking...What was happening there?  What did she say?  What did he say?  Why did she take a swing at him first?  A lot of times when these things happen, those types of questions aren't asked...I'm not saying it's okay to hit women...It's not...If that was my daughter, I'd kill the prick...Right now they'd be searching for the bits of his body...So, I'm not saying she deserved to get hit...But we don't know really know all of what happened...And all these thoughts got me thinking about an epic Bill Burr bit...






There's some food for thought....Food....Mmmm...That's it for now, gotta hit the bike, instead of eating a bag of chips!

Have a week.

I hope all you dads out there got what we all deserve on Father's Day!

Me, I had a good weekend...Saturday morning the wife got her hair done, then we took all the kids to the mall...The oldest and my wife got some needed clothes...I took Tommy and Molly to Build-A-Bear to keep them out of the big girls hair...Young kids/the boy suck when shopping is being done, not for them...So the $60 B-A-B scam was worth the peace...Then we stopped at one of my favorite store, LIDS, where I picked out Father's Day gifts for myself...They had a buy one, get the second half going on, so I got two 47 Brand caps...Both Cleveland Indians caps...One, was the classic blue, red brim, Chief Wahoo cap...My old one was retired some time ago...And I love the Chief...Eat my ass haters!  The second cap was the newer block "C" logo...All red, with a cream face...It's a nice cap...

Then I took the two young ones to the playground area...Eventually we met with the girls for lunch...Then a stop at FYE...A look at the pet store, which makes them all sad, and wanting to buy another dog for me to walk...Oh, and a hefty price tag...Screw that...The one APL is in need of homes for dogs, at the low price of $60, or they're going to start whacking some...The wife was looking at that site, but I think I talked her off that ledge...

After that it was a mostly relaxing evening...The oldest went and hung out with some friends...I picked her up around 10:30 and we got some ice cream...

Sunday I woke up to the sound of everyone...I got up to see my wife making me breakfast with Molly...I so did not want breakfast...My normal breakfast is two-three cups of coffee...She knew I didn't want it, but Molly is a forceful little boss, especially on "holidays"...The kids gave me cards they made...My oldest included two pics of her, when she was little...Thanks for reminding me you're 13 and time is flying...The boy made me a clay Optimus Prime Angry Bird head, and awesome card...I ate a bit, the wife sent the kids off to play for a bit, and then she gave me her gift!  (Wink-wink, nudge-nudge)

Then she took the kids to a movie...I played some guitar, poorly because I don't play anymore...Then I watched the Indians game...Something sweet about a three hit, 1-0 walk-off, sac-fly victory...

-So since I brought up Baseball...I've grown to hate the "All-Star Game" ever since they started that whole, "it counts" shit...Mainly, since they decided to make an exhibition game count for something, fan voting should be done away with...Proven by the fact that right now 8 Kansas City Royals are slotted to start...I'm sorry, no fucking .228 hitter, Omar Infante should ever be invited to the "All-Star Game"...NEVER!  

Even worse, MLB has admitted to normally throwing out 20% of the fan votes each year...They have canceled out 60-65 million votes so far this year for "fear of improper voting"...Well, considering Omar Infante is in right now, you fucking missed a whole lot of improper voting!

But let's rewind...They throw away 20% on average every year...Well, if Baseball isn't counting our votes America, I'm feeling like those people who say the elections are rigged may actually be right...Listen Baseball, I love ya, but 1. get rid of the "All-Star Game"...2. If not, no more Fan Voting...Fan voting sucks, and you know it, because you've been tampering with the vote...Fuck it!

-I'm keeping this post a bit shorter because I would like you to follow a couple links I'm about to share...First to our Lovely YouGab  EYE CANDY page...There is also a link at the top of the site....Then a link to a post I did on the sick bastards in CHINA ....

Here, before I go let me leave you with this teaser...

Have a week!

Gate - "A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or a moderately sized opening in some sort of fence."

Yes people, that is the definition of "Gate"....It doesn't mean, 'lets add it to the end of every possible conspiracy ever'....Back in the tricky Dick Nixon days Watergate became a big thing...A big crime...a big story...But it was called Watergate, because that was the name of the damn building where it happened....

So when you talk about the New England Patriots underinflated footballs and call it "Deflate-Gate," you sound like a fucking idiotic asshole! Just as you did when you called the Patriots spying shit "Spy-gate"...Or the Saints bounty plan being called "Bounty-gate"...Or every other conspiracy over the last 4 decades...Seriously people, read a dictionary...But while I'm at it, why didn't they call that Ray Rice mess, "Woman Beating-Gate?"

Stop with the "Gate Bullshit"!

And no, Ballgazi isn't any better...Sure it hasn't been beaten to death for 4 decades, but it really has the idiotic political overtone of trying to blame President Obama for it...Anything he does gets a "gazi" thrown on it now, he doesn't need the Patriots balls on his head too...

And yes, I said President Obama...I'm not sure when it started but I'm sick of hearing and reading people referring to the President as juts "Obama"....At first, it seemed like it was just a Republicans?Conservative way of disrespecting him...But I have heard it on the left too...Some of the President's biggest supporters regularly, simply refer to him as "Obama"...I don't care if you like him or not...Agree or not...I was always taught, and believe you respect the office...Even if you are opposed to the man...Average Joe doing it doesn't surprise me...But so-called journalist doing it makes me sick...Truly respectable journalism is dying away at a frighteningly rapid pace...

-Okay, Let me get into a little sports...Saturday the NHL had it's All-Star Skills competition...Sunday was the game, but that's always a joke...The skills competition is all about the players having fun, and the fans getting a look in at not just the fun, but some skills as well...Columbus, Ohio has become a good hockey town, as was pumped for this weekend...And Columbus Bluejackets Center Ryan Johansen made the place go crazy during the Breakaway Challenge...It's become their version of the Slam Dunk contest, where the guys like to get creative...Here's his first shot....





The fans in Columbus ate that shit up...But I was really impressed with his second effort...





The kid is  the son of one of the Bluejackets trainers...Just an awesome moment...Former Bluejacket Jakub Voracek didn't want to be out done, so he tried the same move with his own little guy...






But in the end Johansen won...The other big story from the Skills Competition was Shea Weber winning the hardest shot contest with 108.5 miles per hour...It was a bit easier for Weber this year, without Chara being there, who holds the record with 108.8 mph...




Now, as I said the All-Star game is a joke...No Defense, no hitting...Goalies getting hung out to dry...I was at work and didn't see the game...Luckily, the NHL broke down the tape...Here's all 29 goals in a minute and a half...




If you can watch more clips of the skills competition, do it...Then watch some hockey...Any hockey...Junior, AHL, high school, NHL...It's better then basketball...And the week of bullshit leading up to the "Super Bowl" is just that...Don't waste your time...Tune it all out until Kickoff on Sunday...Fill that time with hockey...

That's this week's public service message...Now, one last video....The Mrs. and I took Molls out with us to eat Saturday evening...The other two didn't want to come, and the oldest had a friend over...So it was just the three of us...And the little girl was cracking me up...I hope you enjoy this as much as I do...

They say, "there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues"....

I hope a few of my friends can get you past those blues, along with a little sports talk....

And why wouldn't people have the Summertime Blues? It's been raining almost every day here in the Cleve...I said I was going to be a Seahawks fan this coming season, and I guess they decided to deliver the fucking weather too...Little Beeze and I have had 1 game so far Our team has had 1 game and 7 rain outs....FUCK!  The kids are sick of practices, and the parents are sick of the Rec not having the fields ready to play during the brief window where it isn't raining...People were really pissed last Tuesday...It hadn't rained, and the sun was out, and people wanted a game...But the Rec couldn't get the field ready...I would like to shit on them, but it had just rained for 10 straight days, and their budget from the city is shit...But have no fear, the rain came back that night right around what was suppose to be our game time...

So my blog FRIDAY  was all about the Madness of the NHL's free agency, along with salary cap issues...But the topic that got the most attention there, and on HALS post was the Bruins moving Tyler Seguin....I think some Bruins fans are way to upset about the move...I think they got great value, and potential back...And really, all Seguin gave you was potential...Yeah, he was a #2 overall pick, but we tend to put a lot of expectations depending on where guys get drafted, and sometimes guys go too high...I'm not saying Seguin is a bust...he could be...He could be a super star...We have to wait...But he was a problem...Clearly the Bruins felt that way, and well, they were closer to the situation then us....

And as for Momma Seguin....Shut up...I hate it when parents come out against an organization because they moved your kid...Or said he's been partying too much...Or acting like  a douche...Kids been out of your house, since he was 16, doing 3 things...Playing hockey, drinking and chasing skirts...And there's nothing wrong with that!  The problem is he let that shit get flaunted around the Internet... HERE'S a taste Mom!

I'm not a fan of the fan voting for the "All-Star" game...But it is what it is...And every year MLB breaks out the online fan vote for the final roster spot for both the NL and AL...I have never participated in this...Until this weekend...When I saw Steve Delabar was one of the guys up for the AL spot...I've been rooting for this guy for a couple years now...His stories is one of the best in Baseball...If you have the time to kill, watch this....




-Everrett Golson was in his home town of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina this weekend, and he told reporters that he intends on returning to Notre Dame in the Spring, after being Suspended from the University for the Fall Semester...While this doesn't help this year, it makes recruiting a bit easier, assuming Golson gets his Academic situation in order...It also shows that maybe this incident has gotten through to him, and he'll be a better person for it...

-Urban Meyer has been catching a lot of heat lately...Many people want to hold the now Ohio State coach, who coached Aaron Hernandez when he was at Florida, partially responsible for Hernandez's off field problems...I heard one guy on the radio going off about it...Listen, I think Meyer is a shady piece of shit, but you can't blame him, not even partially for what Hernandez is accused of...Yeah, as more comes out, there have been warning signs since Hernandez was a teenager, that he could be headed down a bad path, and maybe one of his many coaches along the way could have gotten through to him....Maybe some tried...How the hell do we know? But they didn't do the deed...I'm not a guy who is all about defending Meyer or Ohio State, but if Hernandez did this, it's on him...He's a grown ass man, and if he wants to play thug, then he's gonna have to deal with the consequences...

If people want to go after Meyer, go after him for stuff he had control of...41 guys who played for Meyer between 2005 and 20010 were arrested while there, or afterwards, some both...16 alone in 2008...(including Cam Newton) ...The ones that didn't get arrested until they were gone, I'll give Meyer a pass...But the 31 who were arrested while there,  should have been handled, and if Meyer let shit slide, then go after him...If he cheated at Utah, go after him...If he cheated at Bowling Green, go after him...If he cheats at Ohio State go after him...But trying to put blame on him for the crimes Hernandez is accused of seems weak to me...I'm tired of people making excuses and passing blame when "celebrities" fuck up...

I'm dreading going back to work after 4 days off...I hope my ladies in Blue helped ease the Summertime Blues...

Well, since the 4th of July is just a couple days away, I thought I'd start it out a little patriotic this week...

Now, I'll be honest with you...I didn't want to write this post...I just wanted to throw back a couple beers and fall asleep watching baseball...But instead, I poured myself a cup of coffee, and started looking blankly at this computer screen...Yes there were all kinds of NHL Free Agent signings, but I don't feel like breaking that down...

The MLB All-Star teams were named...And while most of the guys picked are deserving, once again, fan voting made fans look dumb again...How is it possible, that a city of 8 million gets out voted by a city of 800,000? How does the Mets David Wright not get voted in, and that fat fuck, Pablo Sandoval from the Giants does? And sorry Giants fans, but Carlos Ruiz should be starting over Buster Posey...Then Matt Kemp gets voted in, even though he hasn't played in a month...Fucking stupid!

In the AL, the biggest snub has to be Josh Willingham from the Twins, not making the team at all...Christ he's been a rock for the Twins...Yet they put Joe Mauer on the squad, who needs to take at least 3 games off a week...And as much as teh guy is known as an asshole, A.J. Pierzynski belongs there...Then there was Indians 2nd baseman, Jason Kipnis, who got screwed...But there's only so much room, especially when Ron Washington picked 4 of his own guys to go along with the 3 that got voted in...7 Rangers, really!?!

I hate the fan voting...I hate the manager having to play politics with their own players, that keeps other guys out...Actually I hate the All-Star game...Ever since the "It Counts" crap started...I wasn't crazy about it before, but that gave me a whole new reason to hate it...And with all the Inter-league games we have now, the whole NL vs AL loses some luster...And fuck the Home Run Derby too...That shit has just become too drawn out and boring...

So, who thought all this crap at Penn State was done? I hope none, but I know plenty of dopes there thought it was over...Then CNN broke THIS Saturday...


Yep, it was actually Saint Joe Paterno who convinced that idiot Graham Spanier, along with Tim Curley, and Gary Schultz, to keep a lid on what Mike McQueary had told them about Jerry Sandusky molesting a boy in the showers...

Emails showed they were planning on reporting this to the Second Mile charity and the state Department of Public Welfare, but changed their mind after talking with Paterno..."After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps," Curley emailed Schultz and Spanier...

Even after communicating back and forth, knowing that not reporting Sandusky could ruin all of them, they still decided to cover it...Clearly they all thought that protecting Paterno's legacy, and the University' stature was more important then kids getting raped by this creep Sandusky...The sad thing is, if they would have turned him in immediately, Paterno's image, and the reputation of the University would have been fine...

It's time for the NCAA to finally flex their nuts, and hammer Penn State with the dreaded "Death Panalty"...If there was ever a time, this is it...They should burn the entire campus to the ground...And that statue of Paterno...Take that and stick it right up Dottie Sandusky's ass...

Enough of that...Summer always brings a bunch of big movies...I keep hearing about this Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie...Sounds kind of odd to me, and I'm so sick of all this vampire bullshit...But then I remember Abe was watching a play about vampires on that fateeful night...




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

Kate F*cking Upton!

I don't give a shit that she's wearing a Yankees hat! You know a chick is hot when she's out there in a baseball jersey, making Erin Andrews look like a slouch!


I hate the MLB All-Star game...I think the whole thing is garbage, and the only thing that would make this game tonight really exciting for me, would be if Tim McCarver dropped dead right on the air...

The Home Run Derby is the big show for these few days in July, but to me it's lost it's luster...It's just glorified batting practice...And of course ESPN has it slotted for a certain time, and it always runs over by two hours...

Then they show the celebrity softball game...Some retired players...Some actors and maybe mix in a hottie...Thank God for the hottie...



Ohhh, the Hottie!










Getting Kate Upton there was the best thing to happen at the All-Star festivities!


Later, The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Well it's time for Monday Moaning again...Honestly this week I don't have much more to say that already didn't cover in Wednesday and Friday's posts...But I have a little...

Last week I predicted the Packers would win the "Super Bowl"...Well, I'm changing my mind...After a week when all the Packers did was bitch about who was going to be in the team picture, and the more I thought about it...I'm going with Pittsburgh...Seriously, Rodgers is one James Harrison head shot away from being done...Tomlin is a great coach who doesn't get enough credit...And Big Ben the and his creepy, Shrek looking, I'm going to assault you face, have been there before, and the douche has a knack for making clutch plays...

We'll see if I change my mind again this week...

Sunday was the "Pro-Bowl"...Ignored it...Don't care...Could tell ya a thing about it...There was Golf...Ignored it...Don't care...Couldn't tell ya a thing about it...The X-Games have been on all week...I watched some of that crazy shit! I couldn't tell a thing about it, except those fuckers are crazy...

Then there was the NHL All-Star skills competition Saturday, and the All-Star game Sunday...There was also their fantasy draft Friday, which was kinda stupid, but I understand them trying to mix shit up a bit...

There were a couple highlights from the skills competition...First they had the fastest skater completion, that started with two defenseman going against each other, backwards...Then onto a couple forwards...Then they had goalies Cam Ward and Tim Thomas go against each other, and every one got a kick out of this...




Thomas handled the wipe-out pretty damn good...

Later in the show it was time for the Hardest shot, and big Zdeno Chara did not disappoint the fans as he topped his old record, and set a new record of 105.9 mph!




Holy shit that's a hard shot!

Then of course game the game Sunday, where nobody plays defense, and nobody checks and the goalies get hung out to dry..Team Lindstrom beat team Staal 11-10...For me, as a Rangers fan, and a goalie guy, the highlight was Rangers' goalie Henrik Lunqvist stoning Colorado's Matt Duchene on a penalty shot...A penalty shot setup by his team not playing defense, so when Duchene came in on a breakaway, and was past everyone, stupid ass Alex Ovechkin threw his stick to try and stop Duchene...God I hate that Commie...

That's it for now...I have to get myself mentally prepared to go back to the Fish House...The doubles I've been working on Saturdays can take a toll on you...That place gives me so many laughs, and at the same time, so much hate...It's amazing how fast you can go from liking a co-worker...Hell maybe you even want to fuck them, and the next thing you know, you want to choke the living shit out of them and masturbate on their tear fill face...Holy shit did I just type that...Fuck it, it's staying in!

Have a week...
