26 September 2007 - I preferred Parker Brothers anyway

In case you haven't seen the footage, it's right here.
But Milton Bradley has finally out Milton Bradley-ed himself.

When I heard the news that an idiot outfielder got booted from another game, I didn't even have to ask "GUESS WHO?" Of course, it was Milton Bradley.
After singling to center, Bradley threw his bat (intentionally?) towards the home plate umpire. The first base blue called him on this, and then MB went defcon 5 and manned his BATTLESHIP. And then his right leg snapped backwards like a MOUSE TRAP. Bradley was going to be a big part of San Diego's effort to CONNECT FOUR playoff wins. Perhaps he needed a better STRATEGO than to just charge at the first base blue, since he ended up crawling on the ground like was playing TWISTER. All the while, it looks like the Padres' playoff hopes are toppling over. JENGA.

I'm going to stop saying that something's retarded (I'm too liberal with that word anyway). I'm just going to say that it's "Milton."
It goes down as one of the dumbest sports injuries, in good company with Bill Gramatica tearing his ACL in a celebratory leap and Glenallen Hill having a nightmare about spiders, falling out of bed and into a glass table.

Call him a racist or what have you, but at least Jeff Kent broke his wrist being manly while washing his truck (or possibly racing ATVs).

So what do you do with a mentally imballanced, All Star caliber right fielder? Anger Management is one issue, but I doubt that even spending two years with Jack Nicholson will bring Milton back to planet earth. Sensitivity training? Worthless. Reprogramming? Wears off. My recommendation? Frontal lobe lobotomy. Instant attitude adjustment.

But at least he can take consolation in knowing that he's not the craziest player in the MLB. Carl Everett still denies the existence of dinosaurs.

It was labor day weekend, I was 17. I bought a coke and some gasoline.

It's currently day three of my blogging adventure, and David Delgado has still not accepted my challenge to get off of his lazy ass and start writing. This is why a hunger strike may be necessary. If Mr. Delgado does not cave in and post a new entry by the end of this week, then on November 14th, I, Max Davison, will officially pull a Ghandi and abstain from eating for as long as it takes. Homer Simpson also utilized this tactic when the Springfield Isotopes were planning on moving to Albuquerque. It worked then, and it will work now if necessary. Onto the blogging... I had a rather pleasant dinner at the Ath tonight. It was a class dinner for Prof. Busch's GOVT20 class. The highlights included conversations about the Ivory Coast, strange roommates, and (most importantly) they had some great cheesecake. So great, in fact, that we raided the empty tables to ensure ourselves some extra slices. Cheesecake. I love it. Occasionally, I'm not sure if I want cake or a dairy

25 October 2007 - I'm not sure what his appeal is, but he deserves better

Superman has kryptonite. Mike Tyson has Buster Douglas. Vince Young has grammar. We all have our weaknesses. But mine is a little bit more embarassing than any of the aforementioned (apart from VY's hatred of the present tense): dumb romantic comedies. Yes, it's not something that I like to admit and it's a vice probably better suited for the Probie or Sean Garrity , but I just like to sit down for an hour and a half, turn my brain off and watch two people fall in love. And apart from the Hanks/Ryan classics (which were ruined for me after Meg ditched Dennis Quaid for Cinderella Man ), there is one thread that links all of my favorites: Hugh Grant. I mean, just look at the guy. When he's not getting arrested for picking up hookers on Sunset (here's a better shot of the man), he's the epitome of the 90 minute romance. He's got "endearingly befuddled" down to an art form, he's also got perfect comedic timing and if you've ever seen hi

24 September 2007 - The One Where Max Curses the Ayatollah

I've been reading up on the Middle east recently. It all started when I watched "Syriana" and was thoroughly confused. Although, watching George Clooney get tortured gave me the same sort of orgasmic bliss that I get from watching Kirk Gibson hobble around second base. Before I started studying, Ayatollah Khomeini was just that guy on the t-shirt that Homer refused to sell at his yard sale. So I have resolved to take as many Gov't classes when I get back to CMC. I'm prepared to ditch my ignorance about that giant bed of sand that happens to be floating on a sea of oil. But in my honest opinion, the greatest victim in the ongoing war between Islam and freedom has to be Yusef Islam, the artist formerly known to the world as Cat Stevens. In 1978, Cat Stevens converted to Islam and left the pop scene to focus on education and philthropy. In 1989, he called for Salman Rushdie's head on a platter, insisting He must be killed. The Koran makes it clear - if som
