This is a prime example of why athletes should act like they’ve been there. Congrats Kendry Morales. You are our new Bill Gramatica.

So I Guess I Was Right.
Posted in Other on May 28, 2010 by EAST SIDE RYNO(Yahoo Sports): Umpire Joe West has been drawing plenty of attention to himself for a long time and Major League Baseball is apparently planning to suspend or fine West in the near future, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan. His transgression? West has reportedly been trying to get reporters to talk to him about something Major League Baseball wants everybody to forget about: when he called the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox “pathetic and embarrassing” because of their long game times. West also wants to talk to reporters about ejecting Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and pitcher Mark Buerhle. MLB apparently gave West a tongue-lashing over the phone yesterday and is supposedly trying to figure out with the World Umpires Association, which West presides over, on just what punishment he can be given.
Did I call this one or what? This dude is an attention whore. I’ve always said that I hate people who think they are bigger than the game. Joe West thinks he controls Major League Baseball. He is literally the only umpire that somehow makes it into the papers. I can’t believe it took the MLB this long to figure out that this guy calls games for self-recognition. Now I’m not a big fan of Ozzie Guillen, but he’s not at fault in this situation. I would be ticked off if I was undeservingly ejected by a guy who’s throwing out just for post-game attention. I have never seen any other umpire be a part of a post-game press conference except for this quadruple chin. Maybe West can leave the game for a while and let the game be the center of attention, and not the fucking umpires.

Wake Up.
Posted in Other on May 17, 2010 by EAST SIDE RYNOSpeechless. Just another reason why men and women shouldn’t compete in any sports together. This dude is actually trying to win. This chick (if you actually believe it’s a girl) is fuck’n lollygagging around the track. Take shit seriously for once.
Chris Broussard Can Go Fuck Himself
Posted in Knicks on May 17, 2010 by EAST SIDE RYNOThis guy is the definition of a true douche bag. Just read an article he wrote last week about why New York isn’t a basketball town. He then continued to bash New York and our fans as a whole. He said LeBron wouldn’t be happy in New York because he wouldn’t have the team to win a championship. He also claimed that New York has never been a basketball town because the Knicks were never good. Broussard wrote, “The Knicks were horrible in the 80’s, Michael Jordan’s punching bag in 90’s, and an embarrassment in the 2000’s.” Hey fucker, what about the 70’s? What about ’94 and ’99? Forgot about those years? After reading this, I obviously knew that this guy didn’t grow in New York, so I did a little background check. Looks like Chris is from the fantastic city of CLEVELAND! Listen dickface, don’t hate on New York when you are from a city who hasn’t won a single championship in your lifetime. You haven’t even sniffed a championship in any sport you fuck’n pussy. Today on Sportcenter, you said that you believe King James is staying with the Cavs. You think LeBron wants to stay in Cleveland? Hell no!! Stop being a biased Cleveland loser douche fan and do your fucking job. LeBron is coming to either the Knicks or the Nets because he wants to come to a championship city. Btw, where the fuck did Chris Broussard come from? Never saw him before this postseason. Get this c*nt muscle off the air before I throw my remote through the television. Hey Chris, you love Cleveland so much? This video makes it look like an awesome place to live.
Looks Like He’s Innocent
Posted in Giants on May 15, 2010 by EAST SIDE RYNONEW YORK (AP)—A woman has come forward as a defense witness in the sexual assault case against Lawrence Taylor, saying the 16-year-old girl who accused the NFL legend of rape never had sex with him, according to a statement from the woman confirmed Friday by Taylor’s attorney. The 23-year-old woman said in a sworn statement that she accompanied an alleged pimp and the 16-year-old girl to a hotel outside New York City where Taylor was staying. She said the teenager returned to the car with $300 in cash and said: “It was weird … we didn’t even have sex.” “He’s innocent. She’s lying. She wasn’t raped,” she said in the statement. The statement was given to investigators working for the defense team and seen by The Associated Press. Defense attorney Arthur Aidala said he was planning to use the woman’s testimony in the case.
Boom. Case closed. LT is innocent. We can live in peace.
Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Posted in Giants on May 7, 2010 by EAST SIDE RYNOOk so I know it’s not looking good for LT. The girl was 16, which no matter what means this could be 3rd degree rape. Supposedly the sex was consensual (even though the girl’s pimp forced her to have sex with Taylor). I don’t know too much about the law, but maybe the pimp could be in more trouble than LT. According to Taylor’s attorney, LT did not have sex with anyone on Wednesday night. As a completely biased Giants fan, I am going to go ahead and believe that. Hopefully, in the next few days more information will come out to help Taylor’s case. Since the story broke yesterday morning, the facts have been very suspect. First I hear that the girl was 14. Then I hear she was 15. Now she’s 16? Sounds a little iffy to me! Best case scenario: Taylor gets no jail time and stays a free man. I would want nothing more than to see LT on the sideline for the Giants’ first game at the new stadium. Now I know Taylor’s legal background hasn’t been the cleanest, but hopefully he can pull this one out of his ass and survive another run-in with the law.
Series at Fenway…Oh, We’ll Have Fun!
Posted in Yankees on May 5, 2010 by EAST SIDE RYNOAnother series at Fenway??? This is gonna be great! For the past seven years, I have dreaded when the Yanks had to go up to Boston. The Red Sox always came ready to play (minus the Boston massacre of ’06) and the Yanks routinely sh*t the bed. This season, the Yanks are unstoppable…and the Sox absolutely blow. The Yankees need to sweep this series and make a statement. They need to put this rivalry to rest quickly. Once the Sox are down for the count, the Yanks can focus on the more dangerous Rays.
Btw, a little worried about Pettitte. Whenever a 37 year old goes down with an elbow injury, it’s never good. Vazquez better get it together soon. We’re going to need him.
