Good commercials are hard to come by

It's rare that I even watch commercials, never mind find one that I like so when I do, I like to make sure other people see them too. This one for New Era with Evan Longoria is fun and funny.

Baseball's back!

This little kid, who did a version of Herb Brooks' "Miracle" speech before the first pitch at Opening Day yesterday, was amazing. So funny.

I love him.

Obama keeps proving that he's the coolest president ever.

Chase Utley might not play for my favorite team, or even the league my favorite team is on, but DAMN. He's so my baseball boyfriend.




*Way to go, American League! 13 years strong!

Ultimate Fighting Championship?

It was a big night for the Red Sox last night...Fight Night. I missed the game because I was at work, but I heard all about it when I got home. And, from reading about it this morning, here's what seems to have happened:

1. On Wednesday Coco Crisp slid into second in an attempt to steal. The Rays' shortstop tried to block the bag with his knee, causing Crisp to roll his thumb, but apparently he also slid in with his cleats out, which is a no-no.
2. Last night, the Rays' pitcher James Shields threw a ball that hit Crisp in the leg, which he later admitted he intended to hit Crisp in retaliation for whatever happened the night before.
3. Crisp charged the mound. Fists started flying. Both dugouts emptied.
   
4. Crisp and Shields were ejected once the dust had settled.

And then more stuff happened. Lester threw a ball that hit one of the Rays. Manny Ramirez and Youkilis got into a heated argument in the dugout and had to be separated. Ellsbury rolled his right wrist and was pulled from the game. Earlier Pedroia had been hit with the ball as well. Manny had a pinch runner because his hamstring was giving him trouble, so he was out later in the game too. With Ortiz out due to an injury possibly for the rest of the season, Manny in the DH position, Coco ejected and Ellsbury potentially out, the outfield is looking pretty rough.

But the Sox swept the Rays, so, for now, they're the top team in the American League East. Little victories, I guess.

Hey batter batter SUH-WING batter!

I just thought this Sports Illustrated cover was funny. Plus, the Yankees doing shitty is always a fun thing to talk about.
