Thome, who has the 3rd most homeruns of any currently active player (behind Griffey and Arod) will join forces with the man in 4th place, Manny Ramirez.
Garland has fallen off for the most part, but adds a solid 5th starter arm to the Dodgers rotation which could be crucial for the playoffs.
Brad Penny is the epitome of "fallen off". He went from being the All Star Game starting pitcher for the NL to tradebait...not something to be proud of.
Andy Pettitte ALMOST had a perfect game vs. the Orioles yesterday. Perfect through 7, Pettitte was clearly on his game..or the O's just suck. While Andy was en route to history, the third baseman Jerry Hairston, Jr who gave Alex Rodriguez the day off, made an error giving up the gem. cheer up Andy, nobody's perfect...except me.
Needless to say, Andy was not amused. The Yankees went on to win the game, ending the game by giving the Orioles a grand total of 3 hits in the game.
In NBA news, Spanish deushbag Ricky Rubio has decided to be a dick to the Minnesota Timberwolves and not play in the NBA this season. He will return to Spain and play for some team there, which I could find out the team name but this story pisses me off so I will do no such research. After being chosen 5th overall in the 1st round, the T-wolves had every intention of building their team around this long-haired assclown. Rubio has decided to go play in Spain because he'd rather parade around on the court playing like a Harlem Globetrotter instead of being a normal athlete who has ACCOMPLISHED GAME and play with the big boys. Athletes like Rubio, the NFL's Michael Crabtree, and many other primadonna athletes who are only in sports for the money are shameful and shine a negative light on themselves. Rubio not only hurt himself by losing millions of would-be fans in America, he also hurt the T-wolves' chances of improvement this year. Rubio is not allowed to enter the NBA draft until 2011 and will still be under Minnesota's rights.
Silly Ricky, you can't eat a basketball!
in the world of football, the NY Giants' Osi Umenyiora went AWOL yesterday, after having an alleged dispute with the Gmen's new defensive coordinator. Osi left the morning meeting disgruntled and did not return for afternoon workouts, never telling anyone that he was leaving. Osi did not even tell head coach Tom Coughlin about this, which makes the situation all that much more fishy.
Osi, seen below with some high class women, missed all of last season due to injury but will most likely return to his dominant self this season as the GMEN! win the superbowl.
while taking of the National Felon (oops, Football*) League, let me talk about my man, one of my favorite players, Adam PACMAN Jones!
Pacman, seen here in his thugnificent glory (that's his happy face) signed with a Canadian Football League team from Winnipeg today. Jones has had a tough time staying out of trouble in his NFL career, including 6 arrests and 12 police intervening situations prior to 2008, and last year was involved in a strip club scuffle with a bouncer that escalated into a brawl which paralyzed a man via gunshot. Pacman was suspended for the first 6 games of the 2008 season for an alcohol related situation which he spent part of the time from his suspension in alcohol rehab. This is a str8 up GANGSTA, homie. Keep ballin', baller!
(by the way, the title of this post is geared towards Pacman. its a line from 50 Cent's "get rich or die trying" movie)
