Touché
So I'm reading this past week's ESPN The Magazine on the bus to work, and opposite the SG's article on Pistol Pete is an ad for Pro vs. Joes 2. Now, normally I'd think to myself, "wow, another stupid Spike TV Show"... but who do I see in the Pros lineup: Michael Irvin, Jose "Juiced" Canseco, Darryl Strawberry, Wade Boggs, Roy Jones Jr, Eric Dickerson and many more. In the ad, Irvin is front and center.
I mean, does Mike realize he's a borderline HOF candidate... or did he see that there were 5 people with ego's almost as big as his and decide that his ego could out-talk them all. Amazing. The amount of crazy in that lineup makes the Cincinnati Bengals look like alter-boys. Are all the former Cowboys having a collective mid-life crisis or what? At least former Redskins don't go on TV and make asses of themselves. Oh, wait... nevermind.
Then we learn that the Mariners are interested in signing Jeff Weaver. What? I mean, signing a left-hander in Rhodes is understandable, since you can't have too many lefties in a bullpen. Umm... are they going to let Weaver take the 5th spot in the "rotation" over Cha Seung Baek, the Korean kid who went 4-1 with a 3.67 ERA in six starts down the stretch? Crazy talk. Opponents batted .208 off Baek. While batters averaged .297 off of Weaver. This would not be a good signing. Bavasi, just when we thought you couldn't go lower. Well, you show us it can be done. Touché.

I actually watched the second half of that pros vs. joes because it was on when I got home from school last night. Not sure about that show.....it's not really pros vs. joes per se. It's joes vs. joes to see who can get beat by the least amount vs. the pros.......it's not like anyone is going to hit as many bombs as the Juiceman Canseco.
You should've seen the UFC guy pinning the crap out of the 3 guys last night.....hilarious.
Joe. Don't try to get into the Redskin Cowboy Rivalry. Either you stand on one side or get the hell out of the way.
Douche Bag
I'm not getting into the rivalry. I was just pointing out how annoying these ex-players are. Plus, it was funny. And I'm pretty sure Theisman's picture in the dictionary next to the word douche.
Just found Weaver's stats in the AL West Stadiums during last year from Buster Olney's Blog:
Weaver had a 9.09 ERA in Angel Stadium, a 6.00 ERA in McAfee Coliseum, a 4.50 ERA in Ameriquest Field, and a 7.11 ERA in Safeco, an overall ERA of 7.79, in 52 innings.
Seems like he'll fit our rotation well then...coming soon: The Best of the Bavasi Years: Vol III
