Pittsburgh mayor forced to “Tebow” for the camera

Posted on January 11, 2012 | 1 comment

From CNN…

Pittsburgh’s mayor knelt down in defeat on Tuesday, donning a Denver Broncos No. 15 jersey and “Tebowing” in front of the Steel City’s skyline to pay off a bet he made with the mayor of Denver over the Steelers-Broncos playoff game….

“This is not something I ever thought I’d have to do, and it certainly wasn’t something I was looking forward to,” Ravenstahl said. “However, we’re good sports here in Pittsburgh, and I want to congratulate Denver on a great win.”

And a great win it was…

St. Paul kid with bo stick

Posted on December 29, 2011 | Comments Off on St. Paul kid with bo stick

Old video of 8-year-old martial artist and future actor Wayne Dalgish’s bo stick performance will impress and scare you at the same time. He is from St. Paul, MN by the way. I would not want to get in a fight with this kid a billiard hall.

  • A pair of gold-plated crutches
  • Bilateral leg weakness cream
  • Clairol sideburn hair color
  • A diamond encrusted Medical ID Alert Bracelet
  • Drew Butera (to walk down the isle on the big day if Mauer isn’t 100% after the rehearsal dinner)
  • Steroid infused wedding cake 
  • Abbott & Costello’s Who’s on First DVD  
  • A wedding band designed to look like a World Series Ring
  • The classic game “Operation” by Hasbro
  • A “get well soon card”

Jamey Carroll to be Twins new SS

Posted on November 11, 2011 | Comments Off on Jamey Carroll to be Twins new SS

Jamey Carroll to be Twins new SS
Carroll is close to signing a multiyear deal with the Twins according to preliminary reports from Baseball America writer Jerry Crasnick, and would be their everyday shortstop.

Carroll, who will be 38 in February, is coming off a two-year, $3.85-million contract with the Dodgers. Due to team injuries, he played more like a starter, batting .290 in 803 at-bats during his two seasons with the Dodgers.

Fun fact: Jamey Carroll has had a higher on-base percentage than Michael Cuddyer in each of the past four seasons.

If it’s a good price, then I am fine with it. The multiyear deal thing does make me nervous on a guy at his age though. More to come.

**UPDATE: Jamey Carroll getting $7M over two years from #Twins (via @Ken_Rosenthal)
