A Plea to Bring Back Moyer

As the days go by, the time til the start of spring training gets smaller. Some action can be expected tomorrow. My take: Offer Moyer arbitration. We need Moyer more than a Burnett or Lowe. Can you imagine Moyer in a different jersey next season after he helped the Phils win the Big One? Who else are we gonna count on to stymie Marlins hitters? As was proven during the Gillick era, we don't need splashy free agents. We need the right pieces. Jamie is that piece. If Moyer left, our favorite Canadian (don't have too many of those) Matt Stairs would take over as oldest guy in the clubhouse. Despite that huge L.A. homer, Stairs doesn't carry the excitement of an old guy and does not stir up many emotions in old guys. Old people need to be represented in a huge way. Jamie can do just that.

Plaxico the Whacko

Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg. Read that again. Plaxico shot himself in the leg. How funny is that (don't worry, it is not life threatening). According to Fox Sports, he shot himself in the club. Who brings a gun to the club? If there is a bad song, do you just start shooting?  Turn off this damn music or I'll pop a cap in you! I like how on the side of the ESPN story, under Also See, there are numerous stories about how Plax is such a team player. This is what you get, New York, for your $35 million receiver: a guy who doesn't attend team functions, who distracts his team, and shoots himself in clubs. Have fun, New York!

The Knicks Just Realized Marbury is Useless!

Came home to this surprising headline: "Marbury suspended 1 game". In case ya missed it, Steph has refused to play this week. The article mentions an NBC interview conducted with Marbury. Steph uses words such as insubordination (good vocab word, Steph!) and says he was "suspended for no reason". Hmmm, Steph. I'm not so sure about that. You are getting paid $20.84 million this season and you refuse to even step on the floor?? The Knicks don't care if you play like horse@#$% cause the team can't get any worse than it is right now. They just need you to play Steph. 

In addition, Steph can't trust his coach "to walk his dog across the street". Who walks their dogs across the street? Do you just go to the other side of the street and walk back? I guess Steph is just as lazy at home too. 

I'm shocked that they only suspended this headcase for 1 game. Do they honestly think he will have a change of heart after that game? Get rid of Starbury and move on.

 

Are You Really Stupid to Buy This Video Game?

I was flipping through the channels tonight, bored as hell cause there wasn't any good crap on. Low and behold, I came across an ad for Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader video game. Yes, just when you thought we sank to an all time low by trampling innocent workers for half-off flatscreen TVs, we now have a video game that is based off showing that people are dumb. Really, people are dumb? I never knew such a thing! If you are considering purchasing this game, I really don't think you need to play at all.
