Big Papi Wins The Homerun Derby

I, like many others with 2 eyes and a brain, thought Papi was done when he struggled through the first half of the last season. Clearly that was not the case and since then, it's pretty much been bombs away. That didn't change at the 2010 Homerun Derby as Papi became the first Red Sox player in MLB history to win the event, while tying Bobby Abreu's final round score of 11 homers.

Thank goodness the Derby turned around because it started off extremely slow. After the first 2 batters got things started off with a combined 3 homers, I was beginning to miss the steroids era. Who am I fooling, I miss the steroids era anyway. I almost shed a tear when Joe Budden's Pump It Up came on and there were no jokes to be made. Sad stuff. And speaking of things I miss, what happened to those colored streaks shooting star thingies that ESPN trotted out last year?? Yeah, we need those back.

Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition

1) Manny & Big Papi Tested Positive For PEDs In 2003
Papi, Papi, Papi. When I was at work and saw this breaking news I was stunned! We knew Manny was juicing, but Papi was JUST saying how everybody should be tested and banned from the league if they test positive before the season. Shit is sad, but can we finally stop acting like everybody wasn't juicing in baseball??

And just in case you follow me on Twitter, yes, Bill Simmons is still on suicide watch lol. Can't wait for the next B.S. Report with JackO!

2) Lamar Odom To Stay With Lakers
Son of a bitch! Welp, looks like the Lakers remain in the driver seat in the league. Looks like he's got the 4 years he wanted BUT mostly likely its gonna be worth $33 million instead of the 3-year/$35 million they originally offered. Tough break nigga.

Anyway, Miami HAS to pull off that Boozer trade now for sure!
