Atlanta Braves First Team to 80 Wins!

The Atlanta Braves are the first team in the Major Leagues to reach 80 wins with Chris Johnson’s walk off single against the Cleveland Indians. They also dropped the Washington Nationals elimonation number down to to 18, lowest among all first and second place teams.

These Braves have fought a lot of adversity this season between losing Johnny Venters and Eric O’Flaherty to injury at the beginning of the season, losing their #1 pitcher in Tim Hudson to a gruesome ankle injury and now losing an on fire Jason Heyward with a broken jaw. All those losses and reasons to fall back to earth the Braves have not faltered.

I’m not saying the Braves are going to win the World Series because until someone stops the Cardinals they have to be the favorites to win it, but if there was a team to do it, it is the 2013 Braves.

Same Bike Gets Stolen Two Times!

via GrindTV

A woman in Vancouver whose bike was stolen discovered someone was selling it on Craigslist and went about stealing the bike back in a hilarious tale she shared on Facebook and Reddit.

Kayla Smith had her bike stolen from a friend’s house last Wednesday and posted on Facebook, “that I was disappointed and sad because I had worked so hard for the bike. I absolutely love, love, love my bike. So needless to say I was choked.”

BIKE

This crazy woman taking the law into her own hands! Hey police you don’t want to help me? I got this myself! Two wrongs made a right here! Only reason this was successful is because it was up in Washington because I’ll tell you what, if this woman tried to pull that stuff in Baltimore she would not have got away with the bike. I’m not going to say exactly what would happen, but I’m sure you have heard about Baltimore.

I’m glad she got her bike back, but this could have happened

Marlon Byrd Traded to Pittsburgh on Marlon Bryd T-Shirt Night!

Marlon Bryd of the New York Mets is having a pretty good season. There was a 2-3 week time frame where he carried my fantasy team, but with the Mets out of the playoffs (again) they decided to give Bryd a shot at a Wrold Series by trading him and Jon Buck to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sounds like a pretty good deal for Byrd! Well come to find the trade happened on the day that the Mets were giving out Marlon Bryd “Let it Fly” t-shirts (see picture below) to the first 30,000 fans to arrive at Citi Field.

This is not the only time the Mets have had a public relations nightmare this season. The Met’s were going to have a Native American Heritage Night in July, but ended up changing the date because the Atlanta Braves were in town and did not want to cause a negative reaction by media. The group the Mets were partnered with pulled out completely because the Mets changed the plans. (Read More)

The Mets are starting to turn into the Jets here, can’t do anything right.

Although this has nothing to do with the topic at hand, let’s enjoy a Larry “Chipper” Jones tribute because he was someone who always gave the Mets nightmares!

Green Bay’s Running Back Situation is Getting Clearer.

via PACKERS.com
GREEN BAY–The Packers have likely lost running back DuJuan Harris for the season to a knee injury. Following practice on Tuesday, Head Coach Mike McCarthy announced that Harris would be placed on the injured reserve list.

“He’s a young player I felt would be an impactful player for us on offense. It’s a tough blow for him. DuJuan was a big part of my individual focus for the season,” McCarthy said, referring to Harris and second-round draft pick Eddie Lacy forming “1-2 punch format” in the Packers backfield.

In last Friday’s loss to Seattle, Harris reinjured the knee that had kept him out of the first few weeks of training camp. The Seattle game was Harris’ first game back. He had flashed his trademark quickness in practice last week and there was talk of Harris and Lacy being complements to each other in a re-tooled running attack.

“What happens in Kansas City will say a lot about the remaining players in that group,” McCarthy said of the Packers running backs. McCarthy spoke prominently of veteran James Starks and Alex Green.

“It’s a long year. You need them all,” McCarthy said.

Down goes Dujuan Harris, James Starks has looked awful, as has Jonathon Franklin. So Eddie Lacy you are the man! I mean this makes sense we used a 2nd round pick on him so I think he should have been the starter out of the gate. Dude can pick up the blitz and run over a linebacker, he is going to be a beast! If Lacy is able to read the zone blocking holes this offense will be unstoppable, imagine the Packers with a legit play action pass? It has to scare defenses everywhere.

P.S. My Packers Predictions are coming the weekend keep an eye out!

The Jets just want me to keep writing about them.

sanchez

So Geno Smith throws 3 INTs and basically loses the starting job to Mark Sanchez, what does Rex Ryan do? Throws Sanchez in there behind the 2nd string line and lets him get crushed. It was first thought to be a broken collar bone, but luckily Sanchez escaped with just a bruised shoulder joint.

The question has to be asked, how does Rex Ryan still have a job? Yes, the Jets went to the AFC Championship game back to back, 3 years ago…but let’s be honest the defense carried them those years. Ryan has made some bad calls and this is among the worst. To put Sanchez in a preseason game in the 4th qtr of a blow out is just bad coaching! Greg McElroy has to see time there.

So glad I am not a Jets fan. I hope that the fans make it through this year because I couldn’t.

B’more2Boston Takes the Words Out of My Mouth! Miley does her thing!

“Honest question, when Miley throws a party, what doesn’t happen?  I mean, nothing’s off the table during her parties, right?  Like, if some people want to have a 10 person orgy, no one’s saying no.  VMA after party must have gotten real weird.”

The Internet is up in a tizzy over Miley Cyrus’s performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Guess what, I am not! It’s not because I think Miley is hot, because honestly she is not. It’s because we need a crazy person in entertainment! We had Britney, we had Kanye, we had Gaga and we had Bynes! Now that Bynes is out of our minds, Miley did her thing, she is what we are talking about at the water coolers and on Social Media. She is the performer that when she comes out everyone wants to know what she is going to do next.

Let’s put it this way if you get put on a Jay-Z song you are being noticed.

Jay-Z “Somewhereinamerica”

“Cause somewhere in America
Miley Cyrus is still twerkin’

Twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk
Twerk, Miley, Miley, twerk
Twerk,
Twerk, Miley, Miley, Miley, twerk
Twerk, yeah, ugh-huh
Twerk, Miley, Miley, Miley
Only in America”

Guess Who’s Back, Back Again?! Slim Shady to Return!

Although most people that watched The MTV Music Awards are talking about NSYNC and Miley Twerkin’, the most important development that occurred was that Eminem announced his new album is dropping November 5! In a Beats by Dre commercial THIS happened!

This will be Eminem’s first album since Recovery in 2010. The new album will be named MMLP2 (Marshall Mathers LP2), he released the first Marshall Mathers LP back in 2000 and is my favorite Eminem album. Some of the tracks from the original MMLP were “Kill You“, “Stan” and “Drug Ballad“.

Sometimes I wish they wouldn’t announce album drops this early because now I have to wait 2 and half months until MMLP2 comes out. The good news is Eminem is dropping “”Berzerk” tomorrow, I know I am going to be downloading it off iTunes and I think there are going to be a lot of others that are going to be doing the same. The song is described as a Party Anthem and that sounds AMAZING.

Here is the trailer for “Berzerk”
