SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

dp

It’s intra-mural softball season again and I have decided to get in the game to hopefully shed some of this winter hibernation weight.

Well, for me it wasn’t like I was hibernating, but rather drinking too much alcohol.

Anyhoo…

It’s time for me to take out the dusty old glove and the rusty old bats, but you can best believe my footwear will be crispy as ever, at least for the first game.

I’ve got my eyes on the NIKE MVP series of baseball cleats. These are like the ones that MANNY RAMIREZ wears.

mvp metal

Everyone on my team pitches a bitch with me for wearing metal cleats. Its not like I have ever slid. Evar.

I just like wearing what the pros wear even if my game is mostly fanboy meets waterboy.

mvp molded

I’ll prA’li end up wearing the molded cleats though since I will be playing first base again this year.

I’m something like MO VAUGHN and RUSTY STAUB combined with Mo’ Better Blues and a rusty nail. You don’t want no parts of this mang.

THE WRIGHT STUFF…

Friday, April 17th, 2009

wright

Nike Sportswear continues their Hall of Fame series of events moderated by No Mas’ CHRIS ISENBERG. The Mets’ All-Star 3B DAVID WRIGhT was the guest for the most recent session.

WRIGHT is a classy guy and one of the understated talents in the MLB. He doesn’t generate the headlines that another 3B in NYC gets but that doesn’t bother him one bit. I doubt we’ll ever see pictures of DAVID WRIGHT kissing himself in the mirror. His head is squarely pointed [ll] to winning a championship for the Mets.

My question to DAVID WRIGHT was whether or not chemistry was an overused and overrated term for professional sports teams. WRIGHT said that chemistry could not be overlooked even for the teams that had the talent to win despite being dysfunctional off the field. I couldn’t get my second question in which was going to be who sleeps over who’s house?

Does DAVID go to JOSE REYES crib or does CARLOS BELTRAN and JOSE REYES stay at his pad? These are important beaseball questions. I’ve been off my video camera game this past week because I’m out of DV tapes so kindly enjoy the still pics from the evening.

DP x No Mas. We’re cool…

DP x Reverend VINCE ANDERSON.

The good reverend blessed the stadiums and rocked the dopest t-shirt which read, “I’m calling it Shea.”

DAVID WRIGHT discusses the highs and lows of being a professional ballplayer.

On hitting: What other job can you fail 70% of the time and still be considered great?

On fielding: GARY SHEFFIELD hits the ball hard [ll]

On winning: Nothing in the world feels better than a game winning hit.

I think my still cam’s flash was starting to annoy him.

Let’s Go Mets!!!

Rising Up @ The Highline…

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

roots jam

I have to give a shout out to Chocolate Snowflake the boss behind the scenes with the same dreams and schemes to rub some sunshine on our faces in all kinds of different places.

My lady was the pre-game last night before I took a whole rainsoaked quest through New York City culminating with the company of the almighty cool ?uestlove and the amazing legendary Roots crew.

Black Thought, Dice Raw, Joe Budden, and Melanie Fiona tore shit asunder. Brooklyn’ Tanya Morgan represented. Stay tuned today for the drop titled ‘Official Spaceship Status’ = Roots Jam @ Highline.

Official white boys with WBW were in effect. Highline is classy, drinks are a little pricey ($10 for Stoli virginal water and pineapple juice), but the bartenders get heavier hands on your return. Highline is pushing the folks at SOB’s to the brink I think. Definitely for Hip-Hop shows. Solangetay in the building.

roots jam

Oh shit internets! Who is a sexier MILF than Solangetay?

Tahiry?

roots jam

Tahiry also in the building of course holding down Joe B. But I don’t think she can be classified as a MILF until she and Budden get married.

Before that was some dope Nike sportswear joint. DAVID WRIGHT of the Mets sat with CHRIS ISENBERG and was exposed for being a New York athlete that just wants to sacrifice everything to win, and then party his ass off. I think I will enjoy the Mets season this year especially their encounters with my new home city Philadelphia.

Wowzers internets!

A Detroit Bird Flies Off Into The Sunset…

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

fidrych

MARK ‘Bird’ FIDRYCH was a colorful baseball player for the Detroit Tigers whose career was way shorter than he was, but his legend never stopped growing long after his playing days were over. FIDRYCH was beloved by the press which has only published nice stories about the quirky pitcher who came into the major leagues in a flash and left them just as abruptly.

FIDRYCH played the game with a carefree spirit and maintained that perspective throughout his life. He was just MARK being MARK way before there was MANNY being MANNY. If there is anything that MANNY RAMIREZ has not done to curry the favor of the beat writers who have covered his career is to have pitched in the majors.

I’m sure it’s because MARK FIDRYCH was a pitcher that the sportswriters celebrate his offbeat character. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Giving Pirates A Good Name Again…

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

pirates logo

The Pittsburgh Pirates are doing their best to undo the besmirching of the word “pirate” that is taking place thanks to those poverty stricken folks in Somalia. Maybe ANDY VAN SLYKE and DAVE PARKER can petition the national press to rename the Somali thieves as “corsairs”? Or does that sound too swashbuckling? The Tunisians might take umbrage with that term as well.

Baseball season is back in effect party people. I’m shutting down my skittish reportage of the Association because the Knicks are so damn woeful, plus I’m not feeling this media coronation of LeBRON JAMES. Baseball is going to be my new girlfriend this summer. And why not? She loves catching balls in her mitt [[ll]]

It’s still early enough in the season to believe that everybody has a chance to be the champions. Despite my Mets losing their new stadium inauguration to the Padres I will still ride with them to win the NL East this season. JOHAN SANTANA is the effin’ truth on the mound and FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ deserves to have the Public Enemy song ‘Shut ‘Em Down’ played every time he steps on the hill. Here’s how I see the league shaping up this season…

NL EAST
Mets (winner)
Phillies (wild card)

NL CENTRAL
Pirates (winner)

NL WEST
Dodgers (winner)

AL EAST
Red Sox (winner)

AL CENTRAL
Twins (winner)
Royals (wild card)

AL WEST
Angels (winner)

I have every right to revise this list in June prior to the All-Star break and in July after the non-waiver trading deadline. For all of you folks who lack a cable provider like I do I suggest you log on to MLB Gameday over on the MLB.com website. Gameday allows you to follow baseball games in progress with a pitch by pitch by play account. It’s like having your computer fill in your scorecard for you so that you can do the important stuff like DL internets pr0n.
