Tragically Hilarious

Come from behind? 2 HR by Travis Snider (2nd one, he pimped for a second)? Lyle Overbay shut the haters up (for 12 hours)? And The Beej (to defend my honour, I think) proved I was right and that he could actually still throw strikes?


Jesse Litsch, tragically hurt his arm and comically whacked his head on the dug out roof while exiting the game.


I recently realized that O-Dog was a Dodger, which means O-Dog plays on the same team as Manny and I can imagine that they hang out. Imagine the quotes!!!!


O-Dog, continuing the trend of Ex-Jays kicking ass of late, hit for the cycle. This comes on the tail of Reed Johnson's pee-inducing catch, Justin Speier's brawling Red Sox and Ted "Eeyore" Lilly taking a no-hitter to the 7th.


MLB belatedly realized Beckett's move was a dick move, and suspended him.


Things get tragically hilarious for Dustin Pedroia


"Pedroia acknowledges he's angry with the town for something he won't specify, though it's safe to assume it involves his older brother Brett's arrest, in January, on child-molestation charges. (Brett has pleaded not guilty.) "Everyone wants to get out of there," he goes on. "You don't want to stay in Woodland. What do you want to stay in Woodland for? The place sucks. The newspaper there, I don't really get along with. I come from your town. You should embrace me. I play for the Boston Red Sox. You haven't had a lot of major-leaguers come out of your city."


What? Embrace you? Isn't embracing small people what your brother got in trouble for? Oh, Pedroia apologised. But what he meant was "Please stop threatening my parents and continue to buy tires from them. Go Red Sox."


Nick Swisher pitched for the Yankees. And was more effective than Wang. Tragically hilarious. Nice depth, there, Yankees. Last Yankee position player to do that was Wade Boggs. Maybe Swish will be sued by his road girlfriend and later become mascot of DJF. Time will tell.
