Thats baseball




Alot of people seem to just go with the wind. Jump on the bandwagon. Right now, some of the hottest teams in baseball are as follows:



-Oakland Athletics
-Tampa Bay Devil Rays
-Florida Marlins
-Houston Astros
-Chicago Cubs
-LA Dodgers
-Texas Rangers

While none of these teams will win the World Series, and only a 2 at most will make the playoffs. This is baseball. Enjoy it while you can! Soon some of these teams will fade into the night and start playing like we expect them to. Soon some of these teams will have magical seasons filled with a city buzz, walk offs, and great pitching performances. This is baseball. The Central Division is completely upside down, the Rockies are 8 games out of first, the Cardinals are in 2nd place in the division, the Yankees are in 4th in the AL East, and pherhaps the most shocking thing, the Pirates aren't in last place. Teams struggle, have tough streaks of schedules, injuries, struggling pitching, struggling hitting. This is baseball, its a sports soap opera, its a roller coaster, its Todd Jones. Cliff Lee is the leading fantasy point getter, Barry Bonds hasn't been in the news in a few weeks, Roger Clemens had another affair, the Tigers are in last place in the Central, Jake Peavy took Kenny Rogers lessons this offseason, you have stars emerging, stars declining. 1/4 of the way through, and you have already spazzed out 3 times. Well guess what, its May.

Thats baseball

Youtube Video Power Rankings

  1. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vBqoaW2oEsU (The Best of Mike Tyson's Ridiculous Quotes VERSION 2)--This needs no explanation. Mike Tyson is by far, the most entertaining, and bizzare athlete of our time. This really sums up his career, and nobody beats Tyson when it comes to one liners. I also HAVE to ask the question, WHO IS MIKE TYSONS PR PERSON? DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE?
  2. http://youtube.com/watch?v=pKqFg7Tuocg (The Detroit Pistons sing "Jingle Bells")--Rasheed and Maxiell all into it dancing is hard to top. The bad part is that there is an album out. The good part was, it was for charity.
  3. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3QVNmkSivlw (Moth or Horse?)--If you haven't seen this it is quite entertaining, really shows what a joke these QVC or sell crap all the time shows really are.
  4. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ggy6WGUFaYs&feature=related (Phillip Wellman goes nuts)--Nobody will ever beat the granade throw as far as manager blowups go. Nobody.
  5. http://youtube.com/watch?v=eGvM0CC2pu0&feature=related (Pokemon Kid with Mullett singing Pokemon Theme Song)--The Fortress of Pikachu. By far my favorite singing video. Rumor has it the people in the picture frame with the "Team Rocket" uniforms are are his parents. I'm willing to bet this kid is from Alabama. I watched it 27 times the first time I saw it crying from laughter.
  6. http://youtube.com/watch?v=9S3RbRifTSk&feature=related (Dan Hawkisn Colorado Football coach rant on Best Damn)--Probably my favorite coach rant. GO PLAY INTRAMURALS BROTHER, GO PLAY INTRAMURALS. Its division one football, and this is a division one blowup.
  7. http://youtube.com/watch?v=5VytIZZzee0 (Gundy)--Hes the man, hes 40. Its too bad his point was lost in this whole rant but my goodness I wish I could have been in this press conference. This is a quality.
  8. http://youtube.com/watch?v=HQqIQyT-RuM (Drunk Joe Namath)--Hey, what impresses me is the same thing that impresses them. His mind is def-i-net-ly a-head. I wanna kiss you too Joe.
  9. http://youtube.com/watch?v=zNhYgYwiPQ8&feature=related (Bike Racer Pre eminent celebration)--I kind of feel for this guy, Pearlman you should enjoy this though. I wonder if there was a legitimate amount of $ on the line. Funny none the less.
  10. http://youtube.com/watch?v=EMLnuV7HZ7g (Wings Avs '97 Brawl)I used to watch this once a day. Nothing beats McCarty beating Lemieux the cheap shot artist's face in, and Roy and Shanny coliding in mid ice. The funniest part about this whole thing was that Larionov and Forsberg started it on March 26th. I don't care what anyone says, fighting is great for the game and hockey would be a lot healthier if there were more games like this.
  11. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lsO6D1rwrKc (Ronaldinho Touch of Gold)--Still debate over if its real or not. I say yes, this guy is completely disgusting and if you watch him in games you would know this is entirely possible. I'm guessing he kept the shoes.

(Theres enough top 10 lists, how are you going to "cut" one of these!?)
