Baseball..we have baseball this week.

Barroid Bonds won't be playing in the first spring training game..this is a shocker, I know..

Manny Ramirez arrived three days early, instead of his usual 3 days late to camp..THAT IS A SHOCKER!

And Donald Fehr and his minions will offer advice to players regarding the George Mitchell steroid investigation..but its up to each player whether or not they want to cooperate.

Last week is over..thank you Jesus..the body is trying to get back into action after being used as a pin cushion for my own version of hell via cortisone shots by the 'pain management doctor'..lol..he doesn't manage shit but he knows how to hurt ya..you know what I mean?

Let the baseball games begin..Cause I really need a friggin diversion folks :)

Fenway park and me.

I am in a lot of fucking pain today, its dreary,cold,windy and rainy. I have spent most of my day in and out of bed under the influence of some very powerful pain and muscle relaxer type pills, since I also got 3 epidurals this morning..its been one helluva day...

My knees hurt too. They aren't part of my usual pain ritual. Its my back with its missing discs and my hip...but I digress...

I remembered the last time my knees hurt that bad. It was mid 70's, I lived in Boston, the Fenway area to be exact..its known as The Fen's to the locals as I recall. In the winter I developed a condition in my knees known as Clondromaylasia Pitella. Or some fucking shit..anyway..

In the drark and horrid New England winters you go for weeks without seeing the fucking sun. It sucks moose balls. I couldn't work, I wouldn't walk and going to the shitter presented its own problems. So I sat in the dark usually medicated up to my brown eyes, and I stared at Fenway Park..in all its glorious splendor. I was in the highest bldg around, the top floor, corner apt and fucking awesome.

There were no other buildings between me and the BallPark and there I was on the 8th floor. The distance was about a quarter of a mile and it overlooked the actual park ofthe original Fenway Park..its was small,with a french-looking arch, don't get excited. I could hear the crowds and the crack of the bat, I could also see just a wee part of the inside of the ball park as well. I remember staring at the giant Gasoline sign, i forget the brand, I AM medicate remember.. I loved it in the summer, I always got goose bumps when I heard the crack of the bat and waited to see if it was the homeboys or the visitors, you could tell by the fans response of course. But again, I digress..hey its the meds ok?

SO, in the winter, it was dark and bleak, almost like the view was in black and white really. So I would spend sometimes hours looking at The ballpark. I would take pics, I would look thru the binoculars.



So I saw the view there in my minds eye today, and it seemed to take my mind off the pain, for that brief moment anyway. And it felt fucking awesome. The picture was so clear, it freaked me out.

The bathroom had the best view, figures eh? It was handtiled all the friggin way up the walls and including the floor.FUCKER was cold in the winter...radiator heat and all. But when the sound of the ball meeting the bat came through that room..it echoed around that cold little room...fuck I loved that sound. The crowd lifted my soul when it was one of the homeboys that hit it.

And so, I spent the afternoon tripping down memory lane, thanks to modern science and a great mind control thang going on. Because the drugs just take the edge of it. To make it go away, I went somewhere else.

I loved it.

Michael Holmes..your one lucky dude.

"I was just frustrated that this was the way I was gonna die and that was it," he said.

He didn't see his life flash before his eyes, so evidently it wasn't his time to go. Read the article about the man and his wild ride without a functioning parachute here..then watch the video below. Those Dudes from New Zealand have some nads..he's going to do it again he says.

Anna Nicole pics are invading the internets..

Here we have her morgue pic..and here we have her coffin. If you think this is tacky..your a fucking prude..ok? Anna's life was lived in the spotlight..and her death will be no different sportsfans..besides..as Flash pointed out at her blog..can you hear St. Peter now saying"Ok, Anna's here..can we get a 90 year old dick for her to suck on, so she will feel right at home"?

Thanks to Flash's There's your Karma for the link to the graphics above.

TMZ has this link up to a NY Daily News article. It states..god, I love this one..that A.N.Smith had her 90 year-old former husband's sperm frozen and that the old dead guy is the daddy of the little girl..fucking rich ain't it? Well, the kid could end up rich..so its rich no matter how you slice or dice this bs.

Nascar's Drive for Diversity program is bullshit.

According to a father who's son was in the program it is..which shouldn't surprise anyone. I mean..come one..redneck racing is and always will be just that..rednecks. Their fan base might expand..and lately, contract..but the drivers, pit crews and assorted wingnuts at Nascar will always be lily fucking white. In the three years the program has been in existance..not one of the "minority" drivers have moved up into either of the three Nascar formats: Truck, Busch or Cup racing..From the NYT article:

"And now the father of an African-American stock-car driver once called a top racing prospect said the highly publicized Nascar-supported program was a failure. Joe Henderson Jr. said his son, Joe III, was under contract to MB2 Motorsports from 2005 to 2006 and was used for publicity but was given poor equipment in 2005 and not even provided a racecar in 2006."

To make it even worse..Nascar doesn't protect these minorities. Once instance, cited in the article, has 100 fans flaming a 16 yr old black driver. What else reeks of donkey piss is that Nascar uses these guys to promote them..as in..Lookee here! See, here's a negro that's racing..ain't we cool, we ain't prejudiced!

I call bullshit on this 4 year old program and the fuckwits running it. I think some rich white guys are pocketing some of the cash and I wouldn't be surprised if more comes out about this as the stockcar year progresses.

As I always say: You can take the redneck out of the hollar, but you can't take the hollar out of the redneck.

For those of you that don't have a clue what a friggin' hollar is..check out Coal Miner's Daughter, ok?

Pitchers start reporting Tuesday..

Its here..sort of. Baseball is getting ready to bloom, hope springs eternal..and Barroid still hasn't signed his contract.

I like that last part. I hope that pompous bag of batshit never signs with a team. Barroid Bonds can kiss my ass..twice even.

The Padres hired a fucking pitching coach as their Manager..oh man..doesn't that just say "WE are Committed to great baseball in San Diego?"

I didn't think so either.

At least there is still time to think things will work out for my Padres..A girl can dream can't she?

From our WTF? dept today..

Jesus..where do people find this stuff?

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian police are investigating a report that bodies donated to a Sydney university for medical research were sexually abused and that coffins were filled with parts from multiple bodies.

Read the rest here. Those Aussies are some sick fucks..

Colts won, the commercials sucked.

So today I give you my all time favorite Super Bowl commercial.

From our WTF? dept today..

You have heard of women that hoard cats. Well, this old broad in Switzerland was keeping 11 count em 11 full grown swans in her 270 ft. apartment.

Crazy ol bitch. Must of been a hoot when they took a poop. And it begs the question... did they take turns in the tub?

Something to make you laugh today.

A wonderful journalist has left us. Molly Ivins was funny and yet biting. Since my last post was pretty heavy duty, I wanted to put up something to make people smile at the very least, make them howl with laughter if possible. Here is a YouTube video entitled the "Dildo Diaries"...its Molly explaining the TX. sodomy laws and how they were removed, then put back on the books. Its quite funny, its also adult content.

Its not a pity party..its a statement of facts.

I have been in constant and mostly excruciating pain for over 10 months now. Anyone that reads my drivel regularly knows this. I have to fight with the insurance company to get treatment that is commonly accepted by the majority of insurance companies..the reason MY insurance company fights me and my doctors tooth and nail is this...

They represent my employer. Its workers compensation insurance. They have one goal..KEEP THE COSTS DOWN AT ALL COSTS. They do not care what I deal with on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. They have never talked to me. They have never approved one thing first time its requested. They make my doctor ask and ask again..the appeal process works in favor of the insurance company and the mutha fuckas know it.

I am tired of fighting for my rights to being treated in a fair and equitable manner. I am tired of being in pain all the time..I am tired of sleeping maybe 4 hours a night..being drugged up to my eyeballs just for a few precious hours of sleep. Constant pain is more debilitating than the injury itself. It robs you of your sanity, your reasoning skills and any semblance of a decent quality of life. I am tired of being medicated up to my brown eyes and the side effects that come with constantly being medicated. Its bad for my body..very bad. My doctor has stated I am a good candidate for disc replacement surgery. But try telling that to the assholes at workers compensation. Those fuckwits would rather deny me the most basic needs in order to save a buck. They make my doctor jump through hoops just get medication approved. An epidural shot of cortisone given a month apart should of provided me relief..instead..I got the shots 6 months apart..which doesnt do a FUCKING thing. Its like taking an aspirin after you have gone into pnuemonia. Its fuckwitted and god damn stupid.

Their goal is to outwait me and my doctors. If they drag their fucking heels long enough maybe we will tire of asking..maybe I will say fuck it and go back to work since the money I recieve on workers comp is a mere pittance of what I got when I worked.

There have been times when I look at all those medications and think of downing them all with a large skyy and soda. I am so tired of being in pain. I am so damn tired of this bullshit at my expense.

I want to take a gun and blow them all to hell..but I wont' I am not capable of the 3 hour drive to their offices in LA. I can't even clean my house. I can't do much of anything unless I am medicated than then I cant do anything because I am a zombie..its bullshit I tell ya.

When money considerations come before the health and quality of life for the patients..its disgusting and should be illegal. but it's the law and workers compe loves it. I do not.

Its a slow but sad news day...

Barbaro was put down today..but in order to lighten your spirits..here is a video of over 100 horses that were saved last year in the Netherlands. It took a few women to figure it out..the men were no help..as usual.

Nolan Ryan hospitalized

The man is 59 years old. He has had double heart bypass. He is the man when it comes to no-no's, pitching 7 of those suckers. He was elected to the HOF on the first ballot. He pitched in both leagues for a total of 27 friggin years.

Be well Mr. Ryan.

Parcells resigns..film at 11

The Tuna retired...again. Read all about it here. He quit in an E-MAIL!!!

Congrats Peyton, you guys pulled that one outta your ass..it was a good game to watch with one eye open. When the jackass announcers got all worked up, I would turn up the volumn and actually open the other eye.

Please God, don't let them bring back the Superbowl shuffle.

I swear I will force sharp objects into my ears and eyes if they show it even once, anywhere on TV.



Drew Brees, sorry bout your luck dude. Bush, you too. That's Reggie, not George.

The best football sunday of the year is here.

The best because its two games, unlike the Superbowl..I am going for New Orleans even though they will most likely get crushed in the cold of Chicago. Dome teams suck this time of year when they have to deal with the weather.

In the AFC..I don't give a shit. With the Chargers out of it..does it friggin matter? I guess I do harbor hope that Brady will take one up the ass as some point during the game. I just want a good game..a reason to stay anything but sober all day...and then we all get to sit around and wait two freaking weeks for the finale...can you say fuckwitted?

Enjoy your best football sunday of the season folks..its going to be interesting.

From our WTF? dept today..

Al Davis is either in the throes of alzheimers or just friggin out there..I am now convinced of this fact.

The dumb sumbitch is interviewing...wait for it..

James Lofton for the head coaching job.

Yes my dear reader..no one wants to coach the fucking Raiders so they are actually interviewing a former wide receiver for the position.

Lofton is currently the Chargers WR coach. The man is a HOF'er to be sure..but as a head coach..WTF?

They might be trying to skirt the NFL rule about minorities in coaching, by interviewing him..but for the love of god..get a grip on reality folks..this is bullshit.

NFL.com has a writeup here. This is the height of fuckwittedness I do believe...but I could be wrong..

Muhammad Ali celebrates his 65th birthday

His body is ravaged by Parkinsons, but they say his mind is still sharp and he still has his wit. I loved him for many reasons. A black man that said what he thought. A man, that although he fought for a living, refused to fight in Vietnam. I love the fact that they took his title and he won it back. But all those rope a dopes took their toll on his body..and its so sad. I hope he is happy and content with his life and his fight against Parkinson's will be another one that he wins.

Happy Birthday Champ! You were the greatest of them all.

*pic stolen from Sports Illustrated

Oh this so sucks....

The Chargers beat themselves..the Patriots just came along for the ride. How else do you explain the fact that Brady had 3 INT's but his team still won?

These are the playoffs. You should never win when your interception prone in the playoffs.

Marty sucks at time management and play calling. Going for 4th and 11 at the beginning of the game but not the end of it...He sucked down those timeouts like gatorade towards the end of the game...on stupid shit. Rivers had the playoff rookie yips on too many plays.

At the end of the second quarter..the Chargers D left the field early...at least their motivation did.

The Personal Fouls..its a whole host of things..LaDanian could not deliver the entire game no matter how damn good he is. Its a team sport..it ain't fucking golf.

Oh fucking well...

The King of Pop sued for not paying his pharma bills.

That half boy-half girl, half black-half white thing usually referred to as the King of Pop has been sued by a pharmacy in SoCal. Seems Jacko owes the Beverly Hills pharmacy over 100k.

Jesus christ in a speedo.. $100,000.00 is ALOT of Vicodin and Soma people.

What kind of nimrod doesn't pay his drug dealer?

read all about it here, including the court docs..

Its a football playoff kinda day..I am getting primed..forgive my brief post. ok, don't forgive me..suck it and deal :P
