Post image for Washington Nationals fire Rob Dibble

The Washington Nationals have fired color analyst Rob Dibble for making negative comments about injured pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg on his Sirius XM radio show last month. Dibble make comments that implied Strasburg was some kind of wuss because he wouldn’t pitch through the pain. This is the same Strasburg that is having Tommy John tomorrow and probably wont pitch next year.

So not only was Rob Dibble being a jerk, what he said was stupid. The fact that Stephen Strasburg’s elbow is so damaged, he has to have a tendon removed from somewhere else in his body and have it attached to his elbow proves that Dibble was talking nonsense.

The only good thing about what Rob Dibble said is that he said it on Sirius XM. Hopefully the twenty people that normally tune in and listen were doing something else that day and didn’t hear it.

Rob Dibble stinks and I don’t like him. Well, he probably doesn’t stink, but I really don’t like him.

Now this is a baseball fight!

September 2, 2010


If you are tired of seeing baseball fights that aren’t really much of anything, than check out this video from last night’s game between the Washington Nationals and the Florida Marlins. Washington’s Nyjer Morgan did not like it when the Florida pitcher Chris Volstad threw behind him so Morgan rushed the mound. Morgan tried to throw a punch that doesn’t really connect while Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez flew into the mix administering a clothesline tackle on Morgan.

And then much hilarity ensued!

It’s a shame something like this had to happen in front of all 12 Marlin fans in attendance last night. What message does it send to the one or two children watching the game? Nyjer Morgan did the wrong thing. You should never punch someone in front of witnesses. If you are going to punch someone, do it in private. Don’t do it in front of someone that could than testify a grand jury.

Nyjer Morgan should think about the children.

President Obama announced that the Iraq war is over.  He announced that “it was time to turn the page.”  He told us that the combat mission in Iraq had changed to one of training the Iraqis on counterterrorism.  How do these statements jive with what candidate Obama said about Iraq before the 2008 presidential election?

The city of Los Angeles is cracking down on costumed characters walking around Hollywood Boulevard entertaining tourists. They pose for pictures in exchange for tips. Some are more aggressive in soliciting tips than others, and that’s the problem. The more costumed characters that walk up and down the sidewalk propositioning tourists for money, the more [...]

President Barack Obama spoke to the nation in a televised address from the Oval Office last night to announce that the combat mission in Iraq is now officially over. The war is over.

Judging a book by its misleading covers

August 31, 2010

I’ve long enjoyed reading The Otherworld, a series of urban fantasy books by Kelley Armstrong.  They take place in a world where werewolves, witches, sorcerers, vampires, ghosts, half-demons, and necromancers secretly exist in the real world.  What I haven’t enjoyed are the covers.  They normally feature artwork showing a scantly dressed woman holding a pentagram [...]

I forgot how much I hate eBay

August 31, 2010

On August 2, I went on eBay and purchased 400 Card Saver II semi-rigid top-loader card holders for $29.90. They’re used to hold and protect sports trading cards. Though you can easily buy rigid top-loaders nearly everywhere including even Wal-Mart, buying the semi-rigid variety isn’t as easy. To the best of my knowledge, the semi-rigid [...]
