Monday's Naughty / Nice List

the Naughty:

Josh Beckett - Bush league bean town clown. What kind of heart does this guy have throwing at the head of the Angels' Bobby Abreu? With the week that organization has gone through, I don't blame Torii Hunter a second for flipping out. And how dare you, Joe West, for turning your head to the whole ordeal. 

Ray Allen - (see Mr. Beckett) Quick anecdote: My brother was a big fan of Chris Paul while he played for Wake Forest UNTIL he delivered a low blow to NC State's Julius Hodge in the ACC tournament. He said, "that ANY man who did that should lose any respect immediately." Don't give me that excuse that he was 'just trying to get up'. That was blatant. 

Dennis Sarfate - This guy has all the talent in the world. Canon of an arm, fantastic charisma, and an acting répertoire which is highlighted by the 2008 'Orioles Magic' video, yet he lacks major control.

Adam Eaton - Ugh. (What else is there to say?)

the Nice:

'Baltimore' back on the Away Jerseys - Tonight will be special. This feat goes beyond my lifetime.

Hanley Ramirez aka Han Ram - My #1 overall pick in our fantasy league this year has propelled me with mid-week lead over my opponent. Han Ram is leading the Marlins to a sensational 3-0 start, with a .400 batting average, six RBIs, and a grand salami.

MLB Xtra Innings - Thank you, thank you, thank you! The brilliant PR people of Xtra Innings are giving a FREE week preview of their MLB package. They may have just won another customer once this concludes.

Angel Cabrera - This is why golf is the greatest sport in the world. One week you have a guy like Tiger Woods, Camilo Villegas, or Adam Scott who work out constantly, monitor what they eat, and practice relentlessly in order to win a championship. Then there come the likes who made it to the 3 man sudden death playoff last night at the Masters (Kenny Perry, Chad Campbell, and winner Cabrera). Here's to you for smoking a pack of cigarettes a nine, pound a bottle of Jack after, and never put down to the fork. 

Phil Mickelson - May the record show that we at HUC are 'Tiger-guys' and it made my Easter dinner to see the Hefty Lefty choke, yet again. Heck, us HUCs could've drowned that 3-footer. 

Hannah Montana - She has the best of both worlds and her movie debuted #1 this weekend.
