Seven Pounds of Vomit

I realize that it's more than slightly gross to follow yesterday's "All-You-Can-Eat Farm Game" post with something titled, "Seven Pounds of Vomit," but my devotion to Grady Sizemore compels me to share this information, no matter how tasteless. From Yahoo! Sports:

Update: Sizemore (illness) missed his second consecutive game on Tuesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Recommendation: Sizemore has lost seven pounds due to the illness but though he might be available for late-inning duties on Tuesday. “I got on the plane and spent the whole flight throwing up,” said Sizemore. “I still feel weak.” Consider him day-to-day for now.

Wipe that...grin off your face.

Grady was back in the lineup last night, going 0 for 4 and further precipitating my Fantasy team's plunge into the void of irreversible awfulness. Aw, was that mean? I'm sorry, Grady. I love you and your seven pounds of vomit. Get well soon!

Interprofessional Comparison

Hi Sam and Jenni,

Thanks for letting me post on your website. Let’s get right to it.

When Sam compared Casey Blake to some guy in 300, I became lost in a childhood baseball reverie. In particular, I harkened back to how I used to think ex-Yankee and World Series Champion Tino Martinez looks a lot like world famous Canadian porn star Peter North.

Uncanny! I know this because, growing up I was a big fan of the Yankees and my dad used to steal cable.

Here are some other ways in which porn stars are similar to baseball players:

1. They both sometimes wear baseball uniforms
2. They both start out as amateurs
3. They both have to get tested prior to the start of the season
4. Nicknames
5. Surgeries
6. The double switch
7. The sac fly

Well that’s about it. Oh here’s some more visual evidence:
