A few things

1) So long Joe Torre. You will soon be working your pitchers too hard in another ball club. I can't even begin to imagine who they would get to replace you. No amount of money can make up for having to put up with Steinbrenner's crap, which means whoever takes the job will be someone desperate for money. This pretty much narrows the field to crack addicts and gambling degenerates.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the manager of your 2008 Yankees-Darryl Strawberry.

2) There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who hate Dane Cook and those who smoke lots of weed. Dane Cook is not funny. I feel like I am taking crazy pills here. He steals jokes, his movies are dreadful, and watching his stand-up is more painful than passing a kidney stone. Who picked this idiot to be in the major league baseball ads? Rivalfish has generously put together a list of people who could have been a worse spokesman for MLB.

If you want proof of the joke stealing, just go to youtube where this phenomenon is well documented. I'm too lazy to post the link, but it's not hard to find.

P.S. The last time he appeared on Saturday night live he appeared in a sketch that was a blatant rip off of a sketch that appeared years earlier on "The State." Also documented on youtube.

3) American Gladiators is coming back to TV with Hulk Hogan as its host. How can this not be good? The only thing that could possibly be better would be a LOST episode that explained everything (good luck ever getting that). Sports Guy was generous enough to put the application to be on American Gladiators up on his website. Here's the file in PDF in case you wish to apply.

I agree. Dane Cook is a waste of good oxygen that genuinely funny people like Demetri Martin should be breathing. Want to see something great. It involves my favorite band Travis, Dimitri Martin, Youtube, and the song Selfish Jean.

Agreed. Dimitri Martin is infinitely funnier that Dane Cook. Also, Daniel Tosh basically does the same kind of humor as Cook and does it a hundred times better. The thing about cargo pants and loose change kills me. Basically, anyone is an improvement over Dane Cook. Except the ten people mentioned on that list.

Agreed on all points. Where is my Travis CD, Politichic6?

I thought you wanted Mark Ronson, Smithfieldman.
