Art Imitates Life

Sandra Bullock, in the wake of her husband being a Nazi, and cheater, has adopted a black baby.  Following her separation and divorce, Sandra went through with the adoption.

"Well, I did a movie about adopting a black guy, so I thought, 'Hey! Why don't I actually adopt a black guy" - Bullock

Women Apparently Don't Poop

The last time I wrote about the difference between men and women, it was more about some general items.  This time it's specific.

As a dude, I would probably say I spend half of my life worrying about or trying to regulate the generic functions of my body.  Dudes fart.  Dudes poop.  Women would have you believe otherwise about themselves.  According to nature, this is simply impossible.  But other than your mother, have you every met a girl you've actually caught in a poop?  Like 100% sure they were pooping?  No.  The invariable answer is of course no.  Women, my friends, are poop ninjas.

For The BuDaChick

Because I know she'll like them, here are some enjoyable clips.

"Is your cat making too much noise all the time?!"

"Sweet Fancy Moses!"

BuDaChick, I'm pretty sure I was correct about the song.  For everyone else, great clip.

AL East Debriefing

Traditionally, the Boston Red Sox are a red hot team to start the season and then fizzle as the season continues beyond the All-Star Break limping into the playoffs.  The New York Yankees are traditionally almost the opposite.  The Red Sox are on a 4 game slide and the Yankees have won their first four series, amassing only 3 losses in the first 12 games of the season.

This is not the same Red Sox team of old.

SportsNation Running Out of Ideas

The current poll on ESPN.com, as in right now, is the following:

Which Baseball Headline from Saturday is more intriguing?


Ubaldo Jimenez tosses Rockies 1st no-hitter
Mets outlast Cardinals in 20 innings

REVIEW: Up In The Air

Latest delivery from Netflix was one of the nominee's for Best Picture, and winner of the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay, Up in the Air.

I thought this was an enjoyable movie, but it was obvious why it didn't win best picture.  This movie is good but quite mediocre.

ESPN in the 3rd Person

This according to ESPN, about ESPN:

As the NCAA closes in on an April 29 meeting which could decide whether its men's basketball tournament grows from 65 to 96 teams, ESPN has said it won't increase its current bid to televise the event

Glad ESPN got the scoop about itself.  That was a close one.

Deadspin Copying My Ideas, Again

Well, pictures, again.  AGAIN THOUGH!  C'mon.  My post:  Apr. 15, 2010, 10:36PM - Deadspin's Post: Apr. 16, 2010, 01:00PM.  Double Bam!

Big Ben: Dragger, Liar, & Free Rapist?

So we all know that Big Ben Roethlisberger was not charged with anything from the DA's office in Milledgeville, GA.  Guess what bitches - that makes all the information gathered for the case public knowledge.

Smoking Gun, take it away.

CoCo to TBS

In a surprise move, Conan O'Brien has reached an agreement with TBS to be part of their late night television lineup.  He'll be warming up basic cable-viewers for the likes of George Lopez.

I am obviously a member of Team Coco, and will watch Conan wherever he goes.  But TBS, seriously?

Weekly Office Clip

Enjoy.

Baseball: Long, Strong and Down to Get the Friction On

I haven't had the time lately to update the blog.  I know the two of you out there are so upset.  In any case, I do want to touch upon the recent comments by Major League Baseball Umpire Crew Chief Joe West.

For those of you that don't know, he essentially called the Red Sox and Yankees pathetic and embarrassing because of the amount of time they take while playing.  See here, and here.

Listen, I understand that the league is trying to speed up games, but first the league needs to make it clear to the players exactly what the parameters are.  If they want to institute a 30 second pitch clock or something, those parameters are clear.  The problem is, when a pitcher takes forever a batter needs to be able to call time to step out of the box and allow things to proceed on more even terms, and if a batter is all over every pitch, a pitcher needs to have the option to slow things down.

The most interesting thing that Joe West said was this:

REVIEW: The Time Traveler's Wife

Guess what.  This was a BuDaChick pick.  Guess what else.  Rachel McAdams is attractive.

I wasn't very interested in seeing this to tell you the truth.  There was a solid chance I was going to have to miss the end of a Yankee game to watch this movie, so I was against it from the start.  As it turns out, I didn't.  Still I thought, "If I have to watch this, at least it's not a time-traveling-mailbox-movie."  But it was still going to suck, right?  First scene honestly got me with the hook.

Another Dead Wrestler

Okay, maybe that was a little insensitive.  Whatever.  My only question is whether the WWE does something like they did for Owen Hart (completely ignore it and then have a belated tribute show), or do what they did for Chris Benoit (jump the gun to avoid the Owen Hart criticism before finding out Benoit roid raged his family to death in a murder-suicide).  Either way, the gay issue for Chris Kanyon is likely to be too prominent in whatever story is out there.

Have You Seen My Baseball?

That's right.  It's baseball season again.  Along with baseball season comes fantasy baseball season.  I am about as happy as a pig in shit.

Sunday Night Baseball, get to watch me to some of my Yanks.  Get to follow me some statistics online.  Awesome.  Simply awesome.  This is also the time of year that BuDaChick is most likely to leave my ass.  Honestly, I don't blame her.
