The Phillies’ Off-Season Gets Worse

The Phillies’ Off-Season Gets Worse January 6th, 2009 Posted in Media, Philadelphia Phillies, MLB | No Comments » The Tampa Bay Rays have signed Pat Burrell to a two-year, $16 million deal. [Ken Rosenthal] This is after Pat Burrell had declined a two-year, $22 million offer from the Phillies back in October. And after the Phillies wasted $31.5 million over three years for Raul Ibanez in mid-December. Both Burrell and the Phillies screwed themselves. Burrell held out for more money and/or mor

Top 8 of 08 #2: Ice Cube - Raw Footage

Who knew Ice Cube was still dope? I thought he had disappeared to Hollywood, coming back only to make joints like We Be Clubbin. That’s not fair, actually. He’s done some shockingly good work with Lil Jon, notably Roll Call, which blends early ’90s Cube and Lil Jon’s high impact production into something that’s like a throwback from the future. (The bit in the video where Cube goes into his home and masks up is one of those things only rap and superhero books can receive away with. Of course Cu

Two Are Charged W/Assault for Gaming Drum Kit

We unfortunately bring to you yet another story of mindless violence over video game hardware. On December 29th, a pair of total morons made their way into an apartment and continued to attack and threaten a family. And for what? Video game drums. (not that the violent theft of anything is acceptable). One of the two teens, Thomas Joy, age 17, faces some pretty steep (and deserving) charges in the matter… One first-degree assault charge alleges he struck the man living in the apartment in th

Debuting in 1987, the brand made their name pushing their high quality goose down filled jackets. Here’s a little trivia; F.A.T. is an acroymn For Arctic Temperatures.

Sign of the Recession: Pat Burrell Only Gets $16 Million as Free Agent

In the off-season baseball free agent pool I had going — the one where I bragged about correctly predicting the Yankees would sign Teixeira and Sabathia — I also had Pat Burrell signing a four-year $60 million deal with the Rangers. That was the low end for contracts we predicted for Burrell, too. The guy may leave a lot to be desired with his defense, strikeout totals, and inconsistent batting average, but it was fair to figure that a 30 home run hitter and close 100 RBI and walk guy would get

It'd be an honor to delight you every with a long diatribe about the Jets annual implosion, but that would conflict with one of the great joys of being their fan.
