The Philadelphia Phillies were eliminated from the playoffs by the San Francisco Giants over the weekend. It would have been the Phillies third consecutive trip to the World Series. Many Phillies fans are disappointed in the team’s poor performance and especially of their star player Ryan Howard. Howard struck out in the last out to end the Phillies’ season and even tied a LCS (League Championship Series) record of 12 strikeouts. Now, an angry fan has taken to Craigslist to post Ryan Howard’s Bat for $1.00 with the guarantee that your kid will strike out.
On Monday during Game 3 of the Yankees Rangers ALCS playoffs, a fan rushed the field and tried to attack Alex Rodriguez. The fan was tackled, and the Yankees lost 8-0. Now the New York Post is reporting the crazed fan attacked A-Rod not because he was a Rangers fan but over jealousy of the third baseman’s relationship with actress Cameron Diaz. Although A-Rod and Diaz have not been spotted together in weeks, Grim LeRogue, formally Joe Rogan of the Bronx, rushed the field and was carrying five pictures with him. One of the pictures was of Rodriguez with an X drawn on his face and a gun pointed to his head. LeRogue wrote on the picture, “You have to go bud, you’ve ruined too many of our white queens.” On a picture of Diaz, LeRogue wrote, “We will be together soon.”
The final two pictures were of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. On the Houston picture, LeRogue wrote, “You will soon be my master’s wife.” LeRogue was referring to Osama bin Laden, who he was also carrying a picture of that read: “I will serve you.”
LeRogue is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation at Lincoln Hospital in New York. He will have a bedside arraignment on Thursday.
A sports fans worst nightmare is a major contract flop. The New York Mets signed pitcher Oliver Perez to a 3-year, $36 million contract, and Perez has not lived up to expectations. This past season, Perez was 0-5 with a 6.80 ERA (Earned Run Average). Perez even refused to be reassigned to the Triple-A, so the Mets could bring up another pitcher from the minors. Now, Mets fans are taking matters into their own hands and are raising money to buy out Perez’s contract. There is $12 million left on the deal. The fan in charge of fund-raising will be collecting money until February 13, when pitchers have to report for off-season workouts.
Philadelphia Phillies Ryan Howard was on David Letterman last night doing the Top 10 List. The Phillies swept the Cincinnati Reds in the first round of the playoffs and open the second round tonight against the San Francisco Giants. No.2 is my favorite… but I do not like No.9
