The News

The Bizarre

Can you get credit for a win in baseball without facing a batter? Sure! Is it rare? Of course! Did it happen once this week? No! Did it happen twice? Yes! Can you get one without getting a batter out? Yup. Colorado Rockies pitcher Alan Embree can show you one way. Can you get a win for your a team you no longer play for while you're taking a nap in a hotel room? Sure can, just ask Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Joel Hanrahan.

Apparently this week, hide and go seek is not only a game for very resourceful two year olds. Professional athletes like to play too. National Football League Linebacker Greg Ellis claims star Linebacker Demarcus Ware played hide and seek from Dallas Cowboy coaches so that Ellis could get more playing time. In the Major League Baseball, former Cy Young, and current overweight White Sox pitcher Barolo Colon disappeared entirely from the entire White Sox organization, although it's rather strange to figure out exactly what a 5'11 300 pound pitcher can hide behind or from. I can tell you one thing he didn't hide from, food.

The Ridiculous

Lebron got a facial. Whoooooo! At Lebron James' basketball camp, Lebron got his face dunked on, possibly getting tea-bagged in the process by a 6'4 Xavier Sophomore. Where there video cameras there? Of course. Did they get it on tape? You betcha. Is it on YouTube yet? Ummm. Well...

"Where is TMZ? They're not here. That's good news." This quote was not tossed out by Lindsay Lohan, Kendra or Efron, but rather was the first comment by the always enjoyable and always crazy Ron Artest at his press conference announcing his signing with the Lakers.

The Sad

Are the Washington Nationals the worst team in the Major League Baseball? Well, the Arizona Diamondbacks see your futility, will take a 7-0 lead into the fifth inning and well... they'll end up losing by 7.

Remember that idea you had about Running with the Bulls in Pamplona is safe as no one was died in about sixteen years? Well, start the clock over. As our buddy The Bek would say, you mess with the bull you get the horns.
