Josh Hamilton Loves God and Baseball

Whit Honea — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:45:00 GMT

Did you watch the MLB Home Run Derby last night? If you did then you know what I'm talking about. If you didn't, then your loss. End of post.

Just kidding.

Alright, here's the short version on Josh Hamilton. He was a blue chip prospect a few years back- first guy taken in the draft. He had some issues that derailed his career, namely drugs and alcohol. He was out of baseball for 3 years during which he started having visions and found God and got his act together. He's back:

Last night Josh stood beneath the lights in Yankee Stadium and looked into the eyes of the 71-year-old man pitching to him. Hamilton had brought his old pitching coach from his childhood to pitch to him, making good on a promise once made. Josh Hamilton stood there at the plate, sober and determined and proceeded to hit 28 home runs in the first round, thirteen of them on consecutive swings. It was a record. It had the crowd roaring. It was a dream literally come true.

You could see the movie being made even as Josh ultimately lost the 3 round contest to Justin Morneau. A baseball movie about more than baseball. Kevin Costner would have to gain about 30 pounds for the role.

Josh is married to Katie who is pregnant. They have one daughter together and Katie has a daughter from a previous relationship.

Is Rocco Ritchie Trying to Tell Us Something?

Whit Honea — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:58:00 GMT

This is Rocco, the son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie. It seems like he's trying to tell us something, but I can't quite figure it out...

Poor kid, it's got to be tough to have your mom's sex life being aired... oh wait, she likes to share that stuff. I forgot who I was talking about. Poor kid.

In Which I Take Back Everything I Ever Said About Madonna

Whit Honea — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:13:00 GMT

Yeah, she's too old for for her old tricks and I thought she laid it on a bit thick during Coffee Talk, but that's all changed, and for good reason:

Madonna has introduced young David to the magic that is Yankee baseball. Well played, Madge.
