Baseball

Baseball can get really boring at times unless you've got a guy behind home plate making BJ gestures during the game, then it's just damn funny.

Over the course of their careers, major league pitchers throw tens of thousands of pitches. Most of them will end up in the general vicinity of the catcher’s glove. Others will miss so badly that baseball fans will have no choice but to laugh at the ugly result.

Last week, one Detroit Tigers fan had a little bit too much to drink during the Tigers’ 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. After getting ejected from the game for some unknown reason (let’s take a stab in the dark and say public drunkenness), the fella in the red jacket got the ultimate walk-off as his sober friend carried him up a flight of stairs followed by a small army of security guards

When it comes to the Olympic Games, I'm Team USA, all the way. It doesn't matter what the sport is, I love me some America. But when you're cheering for female boxer Claressa Shields, you're not just cheering for the United States, you're cheering for the 810. Check out the details on the Flint natives first Olympic fight.

Well, the 2012 Summer Games are here and it's just another opportunity for America to prove we are the greatest country in the history of countries.  My thoughts on the opening rounds plus the MLB trade deadline and training camp in the NFL.

Finally, something I'm happy to report about on the Penn State story.  My thoughts on Penn State's recent punishment, the red-hot Tigers, and the Lions recent decision to cut a knucklehead.

I hope this is the last time I ever write about Penn State Football and the horrific sexual scandal that surrounds it.  My thoughts on what needs to happen to the school and the football program, plus the Tigers coming back to life and why I'm glad the Lions didn't give Cliff Avril a long time deal.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pumped that Prince Fielder won the Home Run Derby at the 2012 MLB All Star Game, but I almost had to turn it off, due to the nonsensical ramblings of ESPN's Chris Berman. Check out all of the awfulness in under a minute.

I could not catch a ball with both hands, let alone while holding a baby!  Check out this video of a man catching a ball Monday night in Atlanta at a Braves game.  He makes it look so easy!  I love the guy above him trying to get the ball too.

Now that the NBA Finals are over, America can finally turn back to it's favorite summertime past time,  waiting for football season to start.  Until we get there though, let's talk Tigers, Pistons and why the guilty verdict in the Jerry Sandusky case should just be the beginning.

Sometimes I feel like watching sports stresses me out, but until watching Lifetime movies becomes okay for a man to do, I'll just keep shaking my head when I watch Sportscenter.  Check out my thoughts on the NBA Finals, why golf is awful, and Roger Clemens being found innocent.

You can't get mad at Jimmy "Smokes" for being fired up about the terrible officiating that cost the Tigers a game against the Red Sox.  It really was an awful call, and it really cost the Tigers the game.  Check out what Leyland had to say about the officials and the press.
