Did anyone think that these stats:

Passing: 55%     TDs:  5      Intos: 8     QB Rating: 62

Was going to keep Vince Young off the field? Not with the head-scratching season that the Titans have been having. They have no shot, NO SHOT, of making the playoffs, and the season isn’t even half-over. I don’t think the Titans have been in this spot in a long time, so they should give their QB of the future a shot at playing time.

Plus, Vince always had a knack for winning games he had no reason to win. He does have that “Steve Mcnair” magic, where he can go 10 for 30, and somehow find a way to win the game. So I am excited to see Vince Young play this Sunday.

This guy is all over the place. He disses his former casts members, he then relents, and now he goes on Fresh Air and lets his guard down some more.

Tracy Morgan is the man. There is something about his manner that he doesn’t seem dishonest or resentful. My feeling is that Cheri Oteri and Kattan did treat him like shit. But Here is The Campuswham Article on Tracy Morgan’s NPR Interview.

We constantly bash the guy, and all he has to say is the most practical comments of any athlete of our time.

I’m sorry, I miss Manny Ramirez, and the Red Sox will never be the same without him. A dickhead, but can you have any hard feelings for the guy after this interview with Nick Cafardo? One quote from the interview:

I picked them to win. I thought they had the better pitching. I couldn’t believe it.

The Patriots 2009 season has been very trying for Boston fans. Two heartbreaking losses, and one win that came off a very opportunistic kickoff fumble, and the fervor of disappointment has reached great proportions.

It has culminated into blaming just one man. Tom Brady, the man who along with Bill Belichick has brought our great town three Super Bowls, the man who ran up the greatest season of any quarterback in the history of the NFL, the man who makes and breaks the hearts of women everywhere, is now public enemy #1.

Do we really believe Tom Brady is past his prime? I beg to differ.

David Oritz and Manny Ramirez were one of the 100+ players that have tested positive from the anonymous baseball testing of 2003. More updates, quotes, reactions here.

I know, I know, this is just a link. But sometimes people miss out on the scoop ( there’s too many goddamn blogs out there ). But MLBrumors has very good insight on the Halladay situation. Gammons Speaks!

Here is my article why on Redsoxmaniac.com

If he bunts, he will get his mojo back.

He is seeing the ball better. He has better confidence in his harder swings. He isn’t arguing with the umps as much.

He will be good. I expect him to get his 30 homeruns by the end of the year. But, I think the Red Sox and their 5-year ideology on team building has put Ortiz on the top list of players to be replaced.

Ortiz and 3B are the only positions where the Sox could add a great deal of offense, and after Texeira donned the pinstripes, the free agent waters for a big bat don’t look to good when 2009 is over ( Adrian Beltre, anyone? Anyone? )

Adrian Beltre would probably be a a great fit for the Sox if the front office is confident his shoulder can be fixed by next season. He is an amazing hitter whose line-drive power doesn’t get a lot of love in Safeco Canyon Where Homeruns Go Extinct field.

Going back to the matter at hand, I think Ortiz would do a lot better if he bunted his way on. He did this a few years back to shake up the opposing manager’s decision to put the shift on him.

If he bunts ( even if its just one or two times a month ), he’ll force pressure on the pitcher to think defense right after the throw, he would force the decision to bring the 3rd baseman back to his position to help on bunt defense, and he will effectively force some honesty out of the ridiculous shift.

This would in effect give Ortiz back a lot of batting points lost from those pulled line-drives to right field. Getting more of these hits will force pitchers to stay away from Ortize with off-speed pitches. From this point on, he would probably become a .320 hitter easily, or become an insane walking machine.

As of now, the pitcher doesn’t get hurt as much throwing him inside since his hard hits are either homeruns or outs due to the shift. Making the defense honest will not only make Ortiz’s game better, but it will open up many opportunities to how he is pitched, and how new situations may force opposing ptichers to pitch around him.

If anyone should be telling Ortiz this advice, its Jason Bay. With Oritz constantly getting on base, Jason Bay will have a lucrative meal ticket for the 2nd half 2009, and he could end up redeeming it for a cool $16 million.

Hopefully, he won’t have to make this exchange with a Steinbrenner.
