Bye Bye Any Chance at Another Shot of a Major League Career!

You may or may not have heard of José Offerman. He’s a former MLB Allstar that played for the Redsox, Dodgers, Mets, etc. But as things go for athletes, your skills diminish as you get older and well, you have to take what you can get. In an effort to keep up his game and to impress MLB scouts enough to give him another opportunity, 38 year old José was playing in the minor leagues for the Long Island Ducks. He was doing well and may have had another chance… BUT José had to keep it real when Matt Beech, pitcher of the Bridgeport Bluefish, threw a pitch that nailed him in the leg. You say to yourself… “self, batters get hit by pitches quite frequently in baseball.” Why yes they do. But maybe José was having a bad day, because he took off running toward the pitcher’s mound for Beech, baseball bat firmly gripped and in the air ready to swing. Bluefish catcher John Nathans saw what was about to go down and ran to help out his teammate. José was on one, because he could not be stopped. Swinging wildly, he hit both of them, cracking Nathans in the back of the head and breaking one of Beech’s fingers. Click here to see a slideshow from the Connecticut Post to see frame by frame how it went down. After the scuffle was broken up, José was arrested by Bridgeport police and booked for assault. He has subsequently been suspended indefinitely from the independent Atlantic league for his behavior.

Wednesday afternoon, in a telephone interview, José apologized for his actions, but says he never hit anyone. Nigga what??? They have you on film swinging the bat!!! He says he will vigorously defend himself in court against the charges and that "The catcher just made it up that I hit him in the back of the head and I didn't hit the pitcher either." He also says "They are not telling the truth; I didn't hit anyone...They have their own reasons for saying I did." Yeah, damn it, because you did! Ay Dios mio!!! José clearly drinks the same brand of reality juice as pedophile R. Kelly.

Guys get into brawls in baseball all the time… but the swinging of bats is a huge NO NO. Damn José… just DAMN! Now the wife and kids need to start looking for property in the ‘jects :-\

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong, Part 3

Apparently cell phones are the new brass knuckles. Foxy Brown, who’s already on probation for an assault on a beauty supply employee earlier this year in Florida, has literally struck again. Fox Boogie got into an argument with her neighbor back on July 30^th in Brooklyn, pulled a Naomi Campbell on the chick and beat the girl in the face with her Blackberry. The girl was taken to a hospital for loosened teeth and a swollen lip and right eye. The victim filed charges and Foxy had to turn herself in. She’s now out on bail and has a date with the judge on September 26^th. In the meantime, she has to submit to drug tests and attend anger management classes. What? Anger management classes??? There’s no help for this chick… back in January of this year, she got into an argument and threatened her anger management counselor, so ummm… don’t think that’s gonna work!

Do you agree with me that if you got a slap on the wrist for two previous charges of beating down folks that you should go and sit your ass down somewhere???

She should get a mandatory jail sentence this time…

and be forced to have to give face to this ugly chick every night. Oh, sorry, that’s not an ugly chick, it’s just T-Pain :-\

There’s Powerful Niggardry at Work Here…

It can’t always be about the ones with money. Sometimes the ones that manage to get media attention can do some outright dumb shit to make you cringe… make you want to yell at your TV screen! Perfect example is a young lady by the name of Antoria Gillon. So 20 year old Antoria was in Dallas – 9 months pregnant – standing in line for hours for the American Idol Audition. This is a grueling wait for just the every day person, but someone 9 months pregnant??? As the labor pains start, Antoria insists on sticking it out and getting her chance in front of the judges. Antoria SINGS through her contractions and is even asked by a judge if she is okay. She insists she is and sings on. While all of this is going on, an ambulance is summoned to take her away, but she still insists on finishing her song… she refused to get in until she got her golden ticket to the next round! WTF??? She got her ticket to go to the next round, but I just think they probably gave it to her because they didn’t want to see placenta, blood and mucous all over the floor – Ewwww!!! She’s taken away and has her second baby boy.

What does she name him you ask? Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan :-\ I sure hope she becomes famous and gets paid singing… because she just royally set her son up with that God awful name. When are people gonna learn that the children have to eventually grow up… and get jobs??!! Maybe he can be an NBA player or something. I will not comment on that plastic hair of hers.

$$$ + No Taste = Ghetto Wedding of the Decade

Apparently they’ve got niggas… ghetto, tacky-ass niggas across the pond over in the United Kingdom. I found this story on another one of my favorite blogs, dlisted. This YouTube clip is from Britain’s Youngest Brides and it’s just… just… as Black Rob would say... WHOA! You should NEVER have to be STUFFED into a limousine on your wedding day… and peep how the children and teenaged girls are dressed. These are probably some of Amy Winehouse’s ghetto ass cousins :-\ If this ain’t like some Southside Chicago hood shit, I don’t know what is!
