Some Stuff

-Charley Steiner has had a rough first week as the new Dodgers play by play voice on radio. After Edgardo Alfonzo of the Giants got a hit, Steiner had this to say. "Wow, Alfonzo is hot, that hit makes 12/25 on the season. You dont have to be Stephen B. Hawking to know thats .500." Hmm....ok.

-This is the worst line we've ever read from a letter to George Bush in a newspaper regarding throwing out the first pitch on opening day for the new Washington Nationals.:

"That said, don't be overconfident. You'll probably be encumbered by body armor. Thousands of fans and VIPs will be looking on. And while you likely are our most athletic president – apologies to Gerald Ford – you were a self-described "mediocre middle reliever" on the Yale freshman baseball team. "

Gerald Ford was an all-American football player at Michigan. George Bush was a cheerleader in high school.


-Check out the this little verbal battle behind new South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer:

"The coaches' verbal dueling dates back to Spurrier's days at Florida, when he would poke fun at the Volunteers with legendary barbs like "You can't spell Citrus without UT," referring to the four appearances the Volunteers made in the Citrus Bowl while Spurrier was racking up six SEC titles and the 1996 national championship.
"That doesn't bother me one bit," Fulmer said. "He's got plenty to do, I'm sure. Maybe it rained that day and he didn't get to play golf. I don't know."
When told of Fulmer's retort, Spurrier laughed and said there were no hard feelings.
''I like ol' Phil. Phil's all right,'' Spurrier told The State of Columbia, S.C. ''He's a good guy. We get along fine. It's no big deal. & I'm glad he said something. I'm glad he's listening to us. In the past, I don't think he'd worry about what a South Carolina coach said, do you?''
