Youkilis commits to Team USA, Sosa will work 4 millions of dollars

460_3e_820876_medium_mediumESPN.com says that Kevin Youkilis is the newest of relatively few players to take up arms for Team USA in the upcoming 2009 World Baseball Classic. Boston teammate and AL MVP Dustin Pedroia was the last to commit, if I recall.

ESPN says that Youkilis, Pedroia, Derek Jeter, David Wright, Chipper Jones, John Lackey, Brian McCann and Grady Sizemore have also signed on, though you can expect at least one of those to drop out by the time the rosters are officially set.

Davey Johnson's going to have a hell of a time, really. The first WBC saw the Americans pretty well embarrassed, including a loss to Canada, and the word back in '06 was that the next time out, some of our proud American ballplayers might step up and compete for national pride or whatever it is they're competing for in the WBC. Instead, A-Rod took his purse-slapping and purple lips and old woman fetish to the Dominican team.

Also, if you were waiting, it's that time of year where Sammy Sosa wonders aloud why no one's knocking his door down.

"Those who saw me training know that I'm hitting the ball with the usual authority. I just hope to get the chance to prove that I'm still a threat," said Sosa at a charity event sponsored by his foundation.

I remember the olden days, when Mr. Sosa's English was so patchy he had to bring a translator to Washington with him. Baseball been berry berry goo to he. It's so reeeeaaaal.

I can't stop laughing...

seriously. I never realized the true humor in that commercial.

Do you really think anyone will bite and sign him at age 40?? I can’t see it. Manny doesn’t even have a home yet, and he might be slightly less of a bum than Sosa at this point. Of course, Manny thought he was gonna get 4/100…HA!

WHAT ain't no country I ever heard of. Do they speak english in WHAT?

Why not the Orioles?

C’mon, how bad could he be?

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

As bad as he was in 2005?

Besides, he was a clubhouse cancer back then, IIRC.

A liitle bit o' sarcasm

I’ll let him blast his salsa in some other clubhouse.

Gotcha

Still a little holiday drowsiness on my part, perhaps. The only clubhouse Sosa’s going to be in is the Fox 45 Kids’ Clubhouse.

Wow, I think I just dated myself with that reference.

that's what she said

Bad Left Hook
Camden Chat

"I decided to become a basketball fan this year and it’s not working out so well because the Wizards SUUUCK. So then I shifted to hockey. That’s pretty fun except there are a lot of flashing lights and horns and shit at the game."
