Someone in Toronto has big balls…..
Jul 28th
Apperantly the Toronto Blue Jays have told teams they won’t trade middle reliever Scott Downs unless they are blown away with an offer.
Whoever is GM of this franchise has real balls to seriously ask the Yanks for top prospect Jesus Montero for Downs!
Apparently he thinks Omar Minaya is GM’ing the Yanks. Yeah this makes a lot of sense, Montero was the main piece in a deal to bring Cliff Lee to Bronxtown and now that that deal fell through, why the hell wouldn’t the Yanks agree to trade him for a middle reliever!
Trade the best pitcher in baseball (Doc Halladay) for a crappy set of minor leaguers and ask the world for a crappy middle reliever. I guess GM’ing isnt for everyone.
Isiah Thomas just contacted the Blue Jays brass to give him some tips on how to successfully ruin a franchise this well since he never had the chutzpah to offer Eddie Curry for Pau Gasol.
And the Dipshit award for 2010 goes to…..

ANDRAY BLATCHE!!! Congradulations!!!!
Wizards’ Blatche refused to play
The Washington Wizards‘ Andray Blatche(notes) may be 6’11″, but he’s looking pretty small right about now. He apparently refused to play for his team last night while they were getting handed the twelfth defeat in a row, according to Reuters. This one came at the hands of the Charlotte Bobcats.
Head coach Flip Saunders took Blatche out in the first quarter to talk to him about his work on defense and then the four-year pro refused to go back in. “I took him out of the game because I wanted to talk to him about not getting back on defense,” Saunders told reporters. “He didn’t want to hear it.”
Saunders told him that if he didn’t want to be spoken to or coached, he wouldn’t play. “We had coaches go up to him three different times. He just said he didn’t want to play,” he said.
Not a good move by Blatche.
Whats even funnier was the Wizards were actually printing THIS MOST IMPROVED FLIER FOR BLATCHE BEFORE THE GAME!
NJ Nets New ticket packages and Rules…
Mar 23rd
We all know the Nets suck now, but the NBA has come up with a new set of rules that apply specifically to teams playing against the Nets in order to help the Nets save face and maybe the season. First off the opposing team can only have 3 players on the court, and one of them has to be in a wheelchair, the second has to be blindfolded, and the third has to have his hand tied behind his back.
Every shot the Nets hit will count as 5 points and every 3 pointer will count as 7. Plus the league will match every point the Nets score. So, for example if the final score is 95-70 in favor of the opposing team after the points matching the Nets will have won 140-95. In addition the Nets will be able to roll over all points over the winning point. So continuing with our example the Nets will have 44 points to roll over to the next game. However, roll over points will expire at the end of each, because anything longer than that would be unfair. Also just in case the league will allow thopposing team to only score up to 100 points; for each point they go over they will be hit with overage charges to the tune of $100 per point.
In light of these new rules the Nets have come up with some new ticket packages to get more people to come to the games. Here they are:
- $1.00 will get you a seat in the upper level.
- $1.50 will get you a seat in the upper level with a beer and hotdog.
- $2.00 will get you a seat in the upper level with a beer and hotdog and a gun with one bullet as a courtesy.
- $2.50 will get you a seat in the upper level with a beer and hotdogand a gun taken from a players locker with one bullet as a courtesy.
- $3.00 will get you a seat on the lower level and a book to read.
- $4.00 will get you a seat midcourt with a fully loaded ipod video.
- $5.00 the Nets will lwt you play for 5 minutes.
- $6.00 the Nets will let you coach for 5 Minutes.
- $7.00 the League will let you ref for 5 Minutes.
- $8.00 you can buy the Nets franchise.
