I know we've done this before . . .

. . . but it's just that much fun. Time for the "most hated lineup" thread. Must be current MLB players. Must be their actual position (outfielders qualify for all three positions). Ready. Go.

Promotional Ideas

So there's been a lot of talk around 414 these days about possible baseball promotion ideas. It all started when we saw some jackass sitting in the stands in Houston wearing his Manny dreads. I mean, really? Wearing your Manny dreads at an away game? Brutal. We also saw some knucklehead kid last weekend at the Twins game sportin' the Joe Mauer sideburns.

Well that got us thinking . . . what other ridiculous promos, based on players' physical attributes, would fans just jump on the opportunity to embarass themselves with in other cities and seasons down the road? Here's a list . . . .

Angels - Mike Napoli porno beard night.
Mariners - Ichiro slanty eyes night.
Rangers - Josh Hamilton tatoo sleeve night.
Athletics - Jason Giambi greasy hairdo night.

Twins - Joe Mauer sideburns night.
Indians - Travis Hafner big nose (and essentially everything else) night.
Royals - Sidney Ponson fat guy/slutty girl night.
White Sox - Bartolo Colon pot belly night.
Tigers - Magglio Ordonez jheri curl night.

Yankees - Hideki Matsui crater face night.
Red Sox - Kevin Youkilis disgusting goatee night.
Rays - Joe Madden glasses night.
Blue Jays -
Orioles -

Dodgers - Manny Ramirez dreadlock night.
Diamondbacks - Eric Byrnes surfer cut night.
Padres -
Giants - Aaron Rowand bloody nose night.
Rockies -

Cardinals - Albert Pujols finely groomed goatee night.
Cubs -
Pirates - Jack Wilson/Sloth look-alike night.
Brewers - Prince Fielder sumo wrestler suit giveaway.
Astros - Darrin Erstad receding hair line night.
Reds - Edison Volquez Raggedy Andy haircut night.

Mets - Carlos Beltran ear mole night.
Phillies - Chase Utley soul patch night.
Marlins -
Nationals -
Braves - Garret Anderson no smiles allowed night.

Alright, I'm running out of time . . . fill in the rest/add others.

Who have you given up on already?

So we're starting to get into the dog days of April, where sportswriters start hopping on and off bandwagons, jumping to irrational conclusions, and the like. I figure why not join in on all the fun?

Which team's bandwagon are you jumping on?

Which team are you looking forward to laughing at when they're 15 back heading into the All-Star break?

Which player(s) have you completely given up all hope for?

Which player(s) are doing exactly what you predicted they would do last January in a drunken conversation at 4:00am?

Magic Time!!!

The greatest annual tournament in the world starts today. As one (if not the only) hockey fans checking out this blog, how much are you guys going to watch? Can a Canadian make a push deep into the tournament? Will a former Sioux player hoist the cup? I would also like to hear a surprise team you think will make a push and who your crystal ball says will be the final two battling for Lord Stanley's Cup.

Tiger vs. The Field

Tiger Tiger Woods Yall.

I will take Tiger over the field.

I also predict that tiger wears a light blue (pacific blue) shirt on Friday
He will wear a white shirt with pacific blue and light green stripe on Saturday
On Sunday of course he wears red on Sunday but it is a softer red- called carmine red

If not Tiger who? Can Chad Campbell hold it together- probably not.

Final Thoughts on Final Four

1. Who you got in finals. 2. Who wins it all 3. Who are you rooting for.
