Seriously, this just adds fuel to my fire of hatred for the New York Metropolitans. Pedro Martinez and Carlos Delgado were invited to attend an event in the Dominican Republican; ...a Cockfight. They did attend this event at the invitation of Juan Marichal; a Major League Baseball Hall of Famer.
There was a video that showed up on YouTube.com, that has since been taken down showed Martinez, Delgado, and Marichal at the event but Pedro claims they were only spectators...
"I understand that people are upset, but that is part of our Dominican culture and is legal in the Dominican Republic," Martinez said in a statement obtained by 1050 ESPN Radio in New York. "I was invited by my idol, Juan Marichal, to attend the event as a spectator, not as a participant." (ESPN.com).
I don't give a shit if you're in the Dominican Republic or not, you shouldn't be attending a cockfight if you're a Major League Baseball player. Fucking Christ, this is just like Dogfighting. Just because it's not frowned upon, it doesn't mean it's right. Dogfighting is very prominent down south, but illegal none the less. Animals are animals.

Chris Hansen is my Hero.
To Catch a Predator is awesome; take 8 minutes out of your day and watch this stuff.
Jack's Mannequin
I honestly have to write this, for the sake of my sanity.
Jack's Mannequin Everything in Transit is the best album of the last ten years. I love music, I honestly love everything from The Killers to The Strokes to Metallica, but fuck if Jack's Mannequin's debut album the best thing in a very long time. It can save people.
Shall I suggest "Bruised" or "Dark Blue" to whet your whistle?

Bale is John Connor...Brolin is the Terminator?
As you may or may not know, there is a new Terminator flick coming out starring Christian Bale as John Connor (a middle aged version to say the least). Now there's a pretty strong chance that McG just spoiled a big surprise that Josh Brolin of No Country For Old Men is in talks to play the Future Terminator.
I...Okay. I like Josh Brolin, I mean, he doesn't necessarily remind me of Arnold in anyway, but so McG says there are a lot of effeminate guys out there, and Brolin is the epitome of masculinity. Needless to say, he mentions Russell Crowe and Eric Bana...as well (as potential candidates? I don't) as masculine guys.
What...the fuck?

US Weeks 100 Baseball Names you Must know.
I liked seeing:
Braves.
#48; Jair Jurrjens
#65; Brandon Jones
#82; Josh Anderson
#94; Gregor Blanco
I actually liked the fact that there was only one Met on the list in Carlos Muniz #95.
Joba Chamberlain, I have a feeling, is going to have a fantastic year. He'll probably sink in as the 5th starter.
I also think that Alex Gordon (3B of the Royals) is going to have a good year as well. I can't say why, I just have a feeling.

Ledger's an ODer...Accident!
Heath Ledger's death has been confirmed as an accidental overdose...
...which is funny, because he had six different types of drugs in his system such as:
• Oxycodone -- narcotic/pain killer; trade names: OxyContin, Percodan
• Hydrocodone -- narcotic/pain killer; trade name (combined with acetaminophen): Vicodin
• Diazepam -- anti-anxiety drug; trade name: Valium
• Alprazolam -- anti-anxiety drug; trade name: Xanax
• Doxylamine -- sleep medication; trade name: Unisom
• Temazepam -- sleep medication; trade name: Restoril
I mean, come on, he had to have been getting this shit illegally. There's no way a Doctor would prescribe all this shit.
