"He threw the ball well," said Mariners manager Mike Hargrove, who added Weaver will take his next turn in the rotation. "If he throws like that the rest of the year we're going to be all right."
This is what Mike Hargrove said after Jeff Weaver gave up 6 runs in 5 1/3 innings.
I would love to see what he looks like when he throws badly.
Regardless of the humorous flavor involved with this quote, it is an established fact that Weaver has always been one of those pitchers who “throws the ball well”. His stuff has always been good. His pitches have movement and speed. Throwing the ball well is not his problem.
He still sucks.
How he parlayed his flash in the pan postseason performance into a heist worthy of “The Sting” is a question answerable only by Seattle’s GM (who by the way, has GOT to be the worst GM in baseball, for so many reasons). Nevertheless, at least he starts.
I’m looking at you, Carl Pavano.
Anyway, after the Rockets lost game seven, I braced myself for a bunch of random “Tracy McGrady can’t get it done” nonsense. I didn’t get as much as I thought (mostly due to his being completely overshadowed by a certain clumsy German), but some people still blamed him.
Big mistake. You watch that game, and you know that Tracy did everything short of ripping his heart out and throwing it at the other team to distract them in order to win that game. Yao Ming, on the other hand, is a colossal (no, this isn’t some pathetic play on words) failure. He is slow, can’t play defense, can’t even outrebound guys a foot shorter than him, is a turnover waiting to happen, and basically doesn’t provide enough offense to make up for his utter cruddiness everywhere else. Houston will never win with this guy at center, unless they happen to trade for Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, Lebron James and Tayshaun Prince, and relegate Yao to gatorade duties.
He stinks.
Meanwhile, in the big news of the week, Roger Clemens is coming back to the Yankees. This is cool but somewhat disappointing, because now when the Yankees go on a run and make the division interesting (hopefully culminating in a dramatic victory once again), everyone will say it was all Clemens, when it reality, it won’t have all been Clemens. But alas, such is the curse of being the Yankees, and having a history of simply being better than everyone else.
(Speaking of which, Steve Philips once said it was childish and arrogant for Yankee fans to expect to win the World Series every year... really? Seeing as, on average, they have won more than once every four years for the last 87 years, it seems relatively intelligent and perspicacious to me)
Anyway, I have entered into a deal in which I pay for the advertising services of Post Hill; to offset this cost, he pays me to advertise for him. So here we go. I will attempt to come up with a song better than the “worst song ever” candidates he usually parades from Kevin Federline and the like, regarding Post Hill’s awesomeness.
For sports there is only one place to go
The verbose and circular eyesore
You now happen to know
As the Sports Maunderer
But for all that stuff not sports related
!@#$!@#$%!#@$%@#$%
(Gotta have profanity in any song, period, if you want it to be famous)
Go to Post Hill, cuz he will...
Uh...
What the heck rhymes with “related”?

Belated.
And you forgot to rhyme "life" with "life" or "strife" or, if you're really wishing it was 1985, "stryfe."
Well this was only two stanzas. Assure yourself that in later choruses, not only is life rhymed with knife and strife, but I go through the whole "me/she/he/be/we/see" routine.
you've sold out to major sponsorship...I cry. but if it keeps the blog going i am happy.
