Its Official!! Baseball Players Are Wusses!!

Me and my friends always sit back at times and laugh about baseball players and how they always need a day off. A day off from what? Is jogging out to the field every 15 minutes and then picking up a bat every 45 minutes really work? Lets not forget the tireless sunflower seeds and bubble gum in the dugout. Whew. Tough work buddy. But it gets better, the freak injuries that these guys get every so often is amazing! Like Sammy Sosa sneezing soo hard that he threw out his back. He wasnt the only one. How bout Marty Cordova then of the Baltimore Orioles missing a game due to his face being burned from the tanning bed, i kid you not folks. Wade Boggs taking off his cowboy boots, slipping and jamming his back against the couch. Padre pitcher Adam Eaton stabbed himself in the stomach with a small knife while trying to take off the shrink wrap off a DVD. Former Florida Marlin Brett Barberie, yes the former husband of Jillian Barberie, was making Nachos before a game and cutting some chili peppers, later on his eyes were burning when he put on his contacts. Turns out he didnt wash his hands thoroughly. OUCH!! He had to miss the game. In the late 60s Jose Cardenal missed a game due to crickets! Yes crickets, because he said they didnt allow him to get any sleep so he arrived at the ballpark exhausted and missed the game. Recently, Brandon Inge of the Detroit Tigers strained an oblique muscle while moving a pillow for his three year old. He was placed on the disabled list. I swear if you didnt know me any better you would think im making this up. But believe me its true and theres plenty more. So i guess well never confuse Baseball Players for MMA fighters any time soon.

Dream Dead! Baron Signs With the Red Headed Step Children

Well it was fun while it lasted. Looks like my dream of landing Baron Davis in the Purple and Gold Armour is now dead. Maybe. Baron has agreed in principle with the Clippers for 5 years and 65 million dollars allegedly. Now its up to the Ciips to sign Elton Brand who most likely was one of the big reasons that Baron agreed to come to LA. So Elton should be next to sign right? Pretty much a lock right? Well hold your horses there, cause weve got controversy! Looks like the Golden State Warriors are not taking this lying down. In a move that seems out of sheer spite , they have now turned around with the money they saved with Baron and offered it to of all people…..Brand !!! The Warriors reportedly are rumored to have offered Elton a 5 year deal worth up to 90 million dollars . Some reports have that figure going up to 100 million. Now we know Elton probably had a somewhat handshake agreement with Baron to team up together. But 25 million is 25 million baby! Because the Clippers can only offer him up to 75 million for the same 5 years. Its going to be a tough one to decide for the Brand family but ultimately knowing the kind of guy Elton is , i can see him staying even for less money.

Around the NBA other Free Agency News

Looks like Maggette is all but done signing with the Spurs. Wow the Spurs actually signing someone that is not in their Golden Years wow!!! James Posey looks to be deciding between the Lakers, Celtics and Cavs. He is actually from Ohio. Josh Smith speaking to Philly as we speak but Hawks can match any offer. Not much news on Sasha Vujacic or Ronny Turiaf yet although Turiaf was said to have some interest from the Jazz.
