crazy carl can go get that paleontology degree now

While the rest of you were marveling at Lance Bass coming out of the closet...

Mariners acquire Broussard from Tribe, cut E
verett -- MLB.com, 7/26/06

Broussard, 29, was hitting .321 with 13 home runs and 46 RBIs in 88 games for the Indians. He'll likely be the team's designated hitter against right-handed pitching now that the Mariners have parted ways with Carl Everett by designating him for assignment earlier Wednesday.

Carl Everett doesn't believe in dinosaurs, and Bill Bavasi doesn't believe in Carl Everett. The worm has turned, Carl.

Elsewhere, Minnesota swept Chicago, putting the Joe Mauer Power Hour into a tie for second in the AL Central with those very same White Sox. Ken Williams is hoping Ozzie Guillen will verbally abuse someone else to draw attention from the Sox' slumping bats.

The Yankees acquired Sal Fasano from the Phillies for minor-leaguer Hector Made. I would like to draw our readers' attention to what, exactly, Sal Fasano looks like.

Apparently, the Yankees are trying to recapture the magic of the 1978 season by exclusively employing players who would be right at home in 1978. (I'm not kidding. During the Phils-Sox series, my dad wandered into the room, saw Sal Fasano, and asked me why I was watching ESPN Classic.)

Danny Haren got his first win since June 14 today as the A's beat the Red Sox, 5-1. The Red Sox lost and Bobby Crosby strained his back, so I'm not going to talk about it.

Seriously, who the hell took Crosby out of the bubble wrap?

We ran a segment on a sports psychologist last night and for kicks, they had me do a graphic on the five players most in need of psychological help. At the top of the list? The head-butting dinosaur hater himself.

And coincidentally, we also had a conversation about Fasano and his pornstache. Sal seems to be taking fashion cues from Ron Jeremy.

Yeah, I saw the Everret thing yesterday and just laughed and laughed. He's tarded. Hee hee.

I love how I can recognize who is posting by writing style nowadays. Go go chickball.
