When keeping it real goes wrong…..

Apparently former all star Jose Guillen still plays baseball in the minor leagues.  This is noteworthy not because he may have been making a run at Ricky Henderson’s all time record for oldest guy ever to play baseball but because last night he charged the mound, with his bat.  Yes you read that right, after leading off the game with a home run he was hit in the calf with a pitch in the second inning.  Because he always keeps it real, Offerman (no way he is on steroids this is too sensible a reaction) then chose to run at the pitcher, take a swing at his legs, pull back and swing for the face while hitting the catcher in the back of the head on his backswing.  Offerman was thrown out of the game, will probably earn a lifetime suspension, and was arrested in the clubhouse shortly afterwards.  In a matter of about half an hour he went from hitting a home run to being in jail and is likely to never again play the game that has been his livelihood for the past twenty years.  Let’s drink to keeping it real, no video but heres a picture of the rampage

In my efforts to become a true new englander when the opportunity arose the other day to go on a boat, I jumped at it. While my first boating experiences were great I noticed an interesting phenomenon, all of these really nice places to take your boat in new england have really bad names like great misery island and worlds end. I think this must be in effort to keep tourists out. after all who wants to take their vacation to misery island? I believe there was an arrested development episode that dealt with this exact phenomenon but I digress. Today we celebrate terrible names for wonderful places, Cheers.
