Bye Yankees! Cleveland Indians eliminate New York!

October 09, 2007

Who would’ve thought of this?!?
Of course, the Cleveland Indians have. For the Yanks,’ they started their 2007 MLB playoffs campaign the way they started the regular season, slow, pathetic and miserable. Unfortunately for them, all it took was three losses and it was an early vacation.
Yep, the New York Yankees, after making all those runs to catch the division leaders Boston Red Sox, couldn’t even get over their American League division rivals, Cleveland Indians as the Yanks’ were booted out of the playoffs Monday, losing to Cleveland 6-4 in a pivotal Game 4.
The Cleveland Indians, after losing to the Yankees the day before, were so focused on finally eliminating the fabled New York Yankees franchise from this year’s postseason wars that they jumped on New York right from the get-go in Game 4 and never trailed for the rest of the game.
BAM. The Cleveland Indians scored two runs in the very first inning before scoring two more in the second one to have an early 4-0 lead going to the bottom of the second.
The Yankees did answer back via a Derek Jeter single that let Hideki Matsui score New York’s first crack at the scoreboard but after Cleveland scored yet two more…

Adam Pacman Jones will still trade TNA for NFL

October 09, 2007

Adam ”Pacman” Jones, despite winning the TNA tag titles, is still waiting to get back on an NFL field.
Probably because titles you win in pro wrestling doesn’t mean shit. He he… And yeah, Adam ”Pacman” Jones, after being suspended for the 2007-08 NFL football season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy bullshit, is still waiting for another meeting with the NFL commissioner, hoping he’ll be reinstated after the Titans’ 10th game.
Yep, that’s how long the Tennessee Titans corner would have to wait. And that’s after November 19. Pacman Jones, for the time being, is keeping himself busy dancing around a ring with TNA Wrestling.
Oh yeah, apparently, he’s a very controversial tag team champion now. Hee hee…
Adam ”Pacman” Jones says he still wants to return playing football and it’s now up to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to give him the chance to do it.
”I think I did enough. I did pretty much everything Mr. Goodell asked me to do. So, all I can do is just wait and go back to speak with him,” Adam ”Pacman” Jones said.
”I’m just staying to myself, taking this time out to worry about things I need to do better as a person, whatever I got to do in the community, whatever I have to do to better my image as a person so I can get back on the field.”
Jones’ new employer, TNA Wrestling president Dixie Carter, claims…

Trent Green chose concussion over playing for Miami

October 09, 2007

Yep, the guy gets his head in the middle of something so much that you’d think he’s into pro wrestling.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Trent Green, after missing the most of last season because of a concussion, is down and out with yet another concussion this 2007-08 NFL football season. This time, doctors say the quarterback suffered the worst one.
The Miami Dolphins were playing the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas and because of the league’s rather confusing way in scheduling these games, Green’s wife didn’t saw how her husband was knocked down to the ground yet again with another head concussion.
”She was listening to the game with an ear piece, but she didn’t have to sit and watch,” Miami Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron said. ”By the time she got home to see it, he was off the field, so that’s a blessing.”
And to add insult to injury, the Dolphins eventually lost to the Houston Texans, 22-19. Although you probably knew the pathetic Dolphins will lose anyway even before Trent Green was knocked out cold.
Doctors diagnosed Green’s concussion as grade three, meaning…

2007 Breeders? Cup Classic to decide Horse of the Year and the three-year-old king of the horses?

October 09, 2007

Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
Yep, on October 27, the best horses of the country will be competing for horse racing’s latest extravaganza, (if you can still call it that…) and by that I mean, the 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic. Oh by the way, in case you didn’t notice, I just can’t wait for this horseshit to be over and done with.
Heading to this year’s intense Breeders’ Cup betting extravaganza, people are starting to brand the goddamn Classic as something that will probably crown both the ‘Horse of the Year’ and the proverbial king of the three-year-olds.
Of course, for the rest of us who would just love to sit our asses in front of the TV and watch football, we really don’t care.
The $5 million Breeders’ Cup main event will feature horses like Curlin, Hard Spun, Any Given Saturday and Tiago, all four scored wins over older rivals in these major prep races for the Classic.
Other three-year-olds that’ll be behind the gates on October 27 are horses like Street Sense and Lawyer Ron. They didn’t win their…
