Tim Lincecum - Cheebin'

 
(Yeah... We should have seen this coming)

Yet another world class athlete has been caught puffing the magic dragon. Tim Lincecum, pitching ace for the San Francisco Giants and 2008 Cy Young Award winner, turned over 3.3 grams of marijuana and a pipe when a cop detected the scent while citing Lincecum for a speeding violation. Lincecum was pulled over in his Mercedes going 74 mph on a 60 mph limit highway in Washington. Poor guy was probably just ripping his one hitter and jammin' out to The Chronic until the boys in blue had to spoil things. It was recently announced that prosecutors in Clark County, Wash., and Lincecum have come to an agreement that will allow the pitcher to pay a $250 fine for possession of a smoking pipe and have the drug possession charges dropped.  Lincecum is expected to get a pay raise this off season that will bring his salary close to the $10 million mark, so basically that's like prosecutors asking this crazy lady for a bar of soap. Ride easy, Tim.

Yankees Pay $208,097,414 for Another World Series Title

 

The Yankees won their record 27th World Series Championship last night defeating the Phillies 7-3. It took the Bronx Bombers 6 games to take the title from the Phills and they looked dominate throughout the series. Everything came together including clutch hitting by Jeter & Matsui, dominate starts by Sabathia & Pettitte and solid relief from Chamberlain & Rivera.

We're not haters of the "Evil Empire" because they play by the rules and spend money to win games. George Steinbrenner has bigger balls than everyone else and shelled out $96,888,368 more than the Phillies this year. The numbers are even more startling when you consider the fact that the Yankees payroll was $182,900,414 higher than the Pittsburgh Pirates who have the lowest payroll in baseball at $25,197,000. To put it another way the Yankees spent over 8 times as much as the Pirates this season.

For all of those small market fans out there who bitch about George spending money like it's 1999 we have one thing to say... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

"Call The Yankees My Daddy"

 

Pedro Martinez takes the mound for the Phillies tonight at Yankee Stadium for Game 6 of the World Series. Martinez has a long history playing against the Yankees including the picture above when he beat up Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer. Martinez is also famous for saying, "I just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy" after being dominated by the Bronx Bombers while he was playing for Boston.

I'm sure the fans in Philadelphia hope he doesn't bring the same attitude to the park tonight because the Phillies have their hands full in trying to push the series to a game 7. The game tonight is at 7:30pm EST on Fox. The Yankees are a 1.5 run favorite.
