Why is it that CONSISTENTLY, baseball players are just the hottest jocks in sports? While this guy's talent was definitely impressive, I was a little distracted by his handsome looks. lol

Umm, I really think "Griff" Jenkins is rather creepy but the guy who was attempting to make him look badly (or worse) was the one who came off as kind of pathetic...and was the big guy with the Acorn sticker actually with Acorn or FOX? Either way, that was a fail.
As for the racial email incident, I would have fired that bitch with haste. If she were an employee with a private company that didn't mind paying their employees to sit around pulling shit like that, that's fine for them. But she's being paid by PUBLIC money to not only be screwing around on the clock, but using public resources to spread offensive garbage. People in Tennessee need to protest outside their offices until she's canned.

I love that, according to the CNN story, defenders of Diane Black are saying, "Oh, come on, if the email had been making fun of a WHITE president, nobody would be saying anything." Um...YES, THAT'S RIGHT, EINSTEIN.

Wow, we live in Long Beach but never have gone to an Armada game... looks like we'll have to head to the ballpark.
