Wrist Taping Wednesday Dump

It would be cooler if she were taping her jaw instead of her wrist

Johnny Knox has been the best surprise this year for the Chicago Bears.  Well, that was until the cameras caught this ball boy pacing him down the sidelines.  Looks like somebody  used to get chased down and beat up by the football team as a kid.  <notqualifiedtocomment>

While we’re talking about the Bears, did you know they give out fines for farting or falling asleep?  If my job was like that I’d go broke.  Anthony Adams may or may not be responsible for the fart fines.  <deuceofdavenport>

After last night, the people of Detroit have nothing to look forward to but a long, dark, cold winter.  So the wound-salting question must be asked: Did the Twins win it, or did the Tigers just choke it away?  Don’t you love how it’s the same thing, but this way you get to kick them right in the ribs with it?  <outsidetheboxscore>

Speaking of Detroit, consider this but a wish that our friend up there pulled through last night and resisted any urges to leap from tall buildings or paint the ceiling with his contents of his skull.  We’ll be regularly checking his site today, anxiously awaiting updates.  <detroit4lyfe>

If you like to measure meaningless stats that nobody else knows about or even gives two spunk-shots about, then you’d be interested to know that Padres pitcher Mike Adams just had an amazing season  37 innings.  What truly amazes me about this story is how the hell they found these numbers.  <morehardball>

In case you weren’t aware, smoking is gay.  The Onion informs us that this is the new anti-smoking campaign in America.  Of course they’ve been calling them “fags” over in England for decades, and that doesn’t seem to be working… Oh, this is a video, and it is semi NSFW, and very, very gay.   <theonion>

25 terrible, terrible cakes.  You people are f*cked up.  <holytaco>

Dear people of Alabama The South:  Stop it.  If you’ve ever even considered beating up a high school referee, jump off the top of the bleachers and break both your legs and a couple of vertebrae instead.  Don’t be this guy.  We’ve had enough of this guy.  Seriously, quit it.  Sincerely, the rest of the country.  <friendsoftheprogram>

With that last link in mind, now please check out this t-shirt made in Texas for an upcoming HS game.  All I’ll say is that the description includes the words horses, cheerleaders, and a little move called “The Eiffel Tower”.  Previous message to the South repeated.  <sportressofblogitude>

Michigan State fans like to wrestle in filthy, scummy, polluted sewage water.  And then make out in it.  UM grads would like to thank you Spartans; for justifying everything they’ve ever said about you.  <bustedcoverage>

I’m a stat geek and read the box scores every day. I remember Mike Adams ERA/WHIP shrinking with nearly every outing and wondered how his season stacked up against other relievers over time. I used my handy-dandy Baseball-Reference subscription to crunch the numbers.

People like you have been making me look lazy and bad at my job for years. Granted most of the blame falls on me for being lazy and bad at my job…
