The Roundup: Watch a Woman Take a Bath on the Subway, Oregon State Guard Shatters a Backboard & Jon Stewart Tops Jay Leno
Selita Ebanks … bacon prices set to soar! … weekend leftover: a photo of Redman buying fireworks … here’s Frank Rich’s first offering at NY Magazine … Elizabeth Hurley is joining Gossip Girl … pretty sad story: “Recovering N.J. alcoholics killed by suspected drunk driver in Pennsylvania” … two men shot on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City … Charlie Sheen roast to go head-to-head with Ashton Kutcher’s CBS debut … I’m 100% certain you’ll laugh … monkey takes camera, then takes photos of himself … why not revisit this 1994 story in the New Yorker on Chloe Sevigny? …
Say it with me: Everyone cheats, but not everyone gets caught. What went down at Kean University is pathetic, especially when you consider it’s Division III and the women’s hoops team. [Star Ledger]
In the 18-49 demo, Jon Stewart topped Jay Leno in the second quarter. Leno had won that demo for the last 10 years. [Media Life Magazine]
Somewhat fascinating story where the Colts’ Robert Mathis, a blogger, twitter and Len Pasquarelli are intertwined. [18to88]

So now the Mets’ plan might be to overpay for Jose Reyes? Wonderful. If this is a ploy to jack up his trade value, well done, Mets. [Post]
“Ohio is issuing about twice as many handicapped-parking placards as a decade ago, an increase that reflects the state’s aging population.” Ohio is the new Florida. [Dispatch]
Jeff Halpern is returning to the Caps, which must make his former cheerleader wife thrilled. [Bog]
Gotta love the fact that DeMarcus Cousins picked up a tech in a summer league basketball game. [Afro.com]
A dust storm overwhelmed Phoenix yesterday.
At the 2:15 mark, watch Roberto Nelson shatter a backboard. Then, wait to see how bloody his face is from the glass.
Well, this is pretty ridiculous.
Here are some highlights from USA 107, Lithuania 105 in overtime at the FIBA Under-19 World Championships. Jeremy Lamb scored 35 points to lead the US, and Florida’s Patric Young caps the highlights with a monster dunk over Torontos’ 2012 No. 1 draft pick, Jonas Valanciunas (30 points, 15 rebounds). According to USA coach Paul Hewitt, the kid on Lithuania Croatia who has been a major surprise is 17-year-old Dario Saric. Hewitt compared him to a young Dirk. The US is playing Croatia right now (follow the box score here).

I think the term McMansion is getting thrown abut a bit too much. That house qualifies as a mansion, period. The big ass brick front, vinyl sided 5000 foot houses with over-inflated prices, now those are McMansions.
July 6th, 2011 at 8:50 AM
Apparently these 3 guys (Saric, Barac, Katic) from Croatia are pretty damn good.
July 6th, 2011 at 8:50 AM
You can usually see a dust storm like that every year in Phoenix. It is a nuisance. Unless of course you are outside then it could be more of a problem. I imagine in a sci-fi movie the sand would be whipping so bad that it would just skin people. Then lightning would strike in the middle of it and turn some of the sand to glass and shards would cut civilians in half.

After he tossed Leyland, Leyland wanted to argue and get an explanation and West’s little awful bitch Angel Hernandez kept blocking Leyland from getting to West while West stood there with his arms crossed and a smug bitch look on his face. Just pathetic that an umpiring crew thinks they are hot shit. I don’t blame Verlander for getting tossed and talking shit to Hernandez and West

The only part that looks like it applies is recently built. That house doesn’t look pre-fab. And who is to say if it’s a template unless it’s in a neighborhood where they all look the same. You can’t really tell from that picture.

No I didn’t hear about it traderjack, but that’s some bullshit. Joe West is the worst ump, bar none.
If a computer can help aid tennis line shots, why can’t they call balls and strikes or foul balls? Strikezone is supposed to be standardized, not whatever Joe West wants it to be that day.

phillymantis, Curt Schilling absolutely murdered the umpires yesterday on Cowherd’s show. He called out a bunch by name and was talking some great shit. I love former ballplayers that aren’t afraid to speak out. So many of them still sit on the fence and don’t want to make enemies.

I’ll appreciate it when he gets the 3,000th hit, SC. I don’t care about the oral worship leading up to the moment. No sour grapes here. I just hate hype and the constant fellatio given to Jeter
July 6th, 2011 at 9:14 AM
SC.. you really want to read multiple Jeter fellating stories every single day until he gets to 3,000? And probably beyond too, right? Suck a dick.

July 6th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
MLB publicly treats the umpires like they are perfect, flawless beings. There’s no accountability that even the players know about for the most part

July 6th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
I appreciate Jeter getting to 3,000. However, I hate all the attention. Just because he’s Cap’n Jetes, don’t remember Biggio, Gwynn or others before this getting the same hype.

why can’t they call balls and strikes or foul balls? Strikezone is supposed to be standardized, not whatever Joe West wants it to be that day.
if they want the technology for foul balls and homeruns, fine. but you’re completely removing an inherent element of the game if you standardize the strikezone. big zones, small zones, high, low… all play into daily adjustments the hitters and more so pitchers must make to succeed in each game. consistency in an umps zone from the first inning to the last is all you’ll ever hear a baseball player or manager ask for, not fucking robots.
July 6th, 2011 at 9:18 AM

McMansion means a development with big houses that are the same 2-3 styles repeated over and over. That’s where the “Mc” part comes from, a repeatable style.
This. I’m sure Rich Rod’s old house has more than a few doppelgangers in the neighborhood. They’re not exactly the same, but when you can tell that every single house is built by the same builder, I think that qualifies as a McMansion. Those developments are all over Atlanta. I can’t fathom how rich some builders/developers must have gotten around here doing the boom years.

Because the all star game is nothing more than a high school popularity contest? Don’t get so worked up CJ. Russell Martin will put on 30 pounds and push out 3 kids by the time he’s 25. (Wait, that was the hottest/most popular girl in my HS… looking at those FB pictures are always fun). The game doesn’t matter. I’d rather players get the 3 days off, personally.

July 6th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
dude seriously. you are pulling my lariat aren’t you?
ok, here: the debate is about standard strike zone, and the complaint is how it changes by ump. my statement was that knees to leters, the long-ago traditional strike zone should be easy enough to stick to, though it changes by height of batter so a robot calling that part would be tough. since umps also have a different inside/outside strike zone, what would be the traditional/supposed-to-be width?
wouldn;t that change based on where a guy stands in the box (closer/farther from plate), longer/shorter arms?

SC, Sabathia is very good but extremely fortunate that the Yankees score like animals. All but one of his wins has come when the team has scored 5 or more runs. 6 of his twelve wins have come where the Yankees scored in double digits. It’s like Dice-K a few years ago. He was 18-5 but mostly because the Red Sox beat the shit out of teams

Still not sure why you think Carcillo can’t skate. He’s a one year, $775K contract. For a 4th line player, he’s got everything you want. Brings energy, can be a rectal itch for the other team, limits his stupid penalties for the most part and can actually score a goal here and there.
I think it’s a great signing. The meatheads screaming “DUR DUR, HE COMMITS TEH DUMBEST PENALTIES HARF HARF!” will be the ones that love him by the end of November. See here:

If you had to watch John Scott last year, you’d be THRILLED to have Carbomb in that role this year. Scott can’t skate, shoot, pass, forecheck, backcheck, stay out of the box or anything else hockey related. He can find the other team’s drooling moron and pummel him into submission. If they’re both drooling mongoloids, it doesn’t help my team to get the other team’s guy off the ice. If anything, it helps them.
July 6th, 2011 at 10:24 AM

Ummm, because I’ve watched him play, a lot.

Now, I can only hope that Glen Sather continues his trend and trades for John Scott so he has an “enforcer” to protect his new $60M bright and shiny toy. Hawks can throw in a pick or a prospect and get Dubinsky or Callahan in return.

July 6th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
He’s not paid to contribute more than 5-10 goals per season. His primary value is drawing penalties or getting in a fight with a skill player so that he can drag that guy to the box for five minutes. No one here (well, the smart ones at least) is under the delusion that Danny Carcillo is going to somehow put up 40 points this year. He is what he is. He plays a role the Hawks didn’t have last year.
He’s a douchebag. But now, he’s OUR douchebag.

Ctrl+F. Find a reason why I wouldn’t want Carcillo on a 1 year ticket for less than a million dollars to play 10 minutes a night instead of last year’s 4th line that Quenneville didn’t trust and only put out there for 4-5 minutes which resulted in the top 2 lines being gassed by March.

Skill gap, sure. Roles? They’re quite similar. All 3 of them are bad rashes. Adam Burish was the EXACT same player as Carcillo is now. When he returned in 2010, the Hawks snapped out of a slump and rolled through the end of March and April to get the #2 seed and the highest point total in the team’s history.
