Home Run Derby

Kali Speta!!  It is time for Gyros Thursday!  I hope everyone is hungry for some sliced meat with onions and Tzatziki!  Maybe an ouzo to finish it off.   So away we go.

Ding: David Wright hit his first homerun the other day. BFD. That’s a wopping 1 HR in 99 at bats this year.  If you don’t have 3 or 4 by next thursday…you are dead to me.

Ding:  Apparently MLB’er getting mentioned in Gyros Thursday have a chance to break out.  It has worked for Manny and Teixeira.  So let’s call out my other reach pick…South Sider Joe Crede.  C’Mon Joe, I know the whole team isn’t hitting, but 2 HR in 96 at bats.  You aren’t much better that David Wright.

Ding:  Obligitory Jeter vs Barmes dig.  Hits since Barmes call-up Jeter 23, Barmes 2.  This of course, earned Barmes a demotion back to Triple A Colorado Springs on May 1st.  That and the fact that, in addition to his unassisted triple play, Troy Tulowitski, has hit .346 with 2 HR and 6 RBI over the past 7 games.

Ding: To continue my assault on game shows…while Wheel of Fortune is the dumbest game show on TV, Deal or no Deal has to be a close second.  Why on earth does a game with absolutely no skill needed captivate the nation so much?  And to anyone playing the game, the answer to deal or no deal is simple.  Calculate the expected value in the case (simple statistical calculation), if the bank is offering more that that value, DEAL.  If not, NO DEAL.  Game over.

Ding:  Hey Richie, It’s May….still no Hall of Fame.

Ding: Don’t think we will be hearing much from the Komodos, even Sea Dog JV is starting to pull away.  No wonder why they are on the endangered species list.  The only thing that can save you now is Matthew Broderick (Hat tip to Italiarican for the Freshman reference in the comments earlier this week).

Ding: Is it just me or can’t you wait until Kirk Radomski’s list of “clients” comes out. Hey Komodos…Mike Piazza might make that list!?!?!

Ding: And now for today’s titilation…the next installment of the Derek Jeter girlfriend/cheerleader club. By popular request we move from one Jessica to the other. That’s right the invisible girl herself, Jessica Alba. Only one word needed to describe her: HOT! You know the more I think about it, the more I feel that Derek Jeter is my hero, and his baseball playing ability doesn’t really factor into the equation.

And with that my friends, I bid you all Yasso! I hope that you all hit a homer today. And for more Jessica, please take a peak after the Jump.

Give me Jessica!!!
