THIS SUMMER'S SONG THAT MAKES ME WANT TO SLICE MY EARS OFF
Kate Perry, I get it. You kissed a girl. You liked it. It's shocking. Woooo. What you see here is nearly impossible. A pillow fight among chicks is breaking out, yet this woman's voice is so awful, her screaming is so bad, that you don't even notice. It's particularly awful when your office is next to the guy who programs the station that plays this song. A lot.

JESUS + MICHAEL McDONALD = THIS GUY
He's actually one of a handful of guys the boys at Uncoached would love to roll with.

ERIN ANDREWS IS OVER.


I'm not going to go as far as this guy and claim that Erin Andrews is not hot.

(I will however, give this guy credit for helping to expsoe the fraud that is the chick who stars in "My Boys." And while we're at it, allow me the chance to mention how wretched "My Boys" is. Easily, and this is not close, the worst show on TV. Anyway, back to Erin....)

Erin Andrews is attractive. Enough so on the surface, that I put her in the Top 153. But beauty, I've often said, goes beyond what's on the surface. And we learned today that this is where Erin Andrews falls woefully short.

Erin was supposed to be on the air with my friend and colleague Alan Cutler yesterday morning. She stiffed him. She was supposed to be on again today. Again, she refused to answer her phone. These things happen, though I usually think enough of the commitments I make that if I say I'll be somewhere, I answer the bell, and unlike Erin, the phone. Anyway, dogged in our pursuit of getting Erin on their air, I put Chuges the intern in charge of getting her on my show. He tried repeatedly, as any good reporter, including Erin, would. Chuges was relentless in his pursuit, calling regularly, leaving messages, and even sending a text. The number one rule in pursuing interviews is to battle any obstacles, including busy signals, miserable handlers, and someone not answering their phone.

Finally, Chuges' persistence was rewarded when Erin returned his call, but instead of going on the air and fulfilling her obligation to both us, and to the party who offered her to us, by doing the interview, she proceeded to tell him that he was rude for calling her and then blamed Chuges for interrupting a conference call.

If Erin simply couldn't go on the air, if an emergency arose, common courtesy dictates that one would break off a phone call, and let us know. We deserve that. You deserve that. Erin Andrews , herself dependent on other making and keeping commitments, knows that.

The problem is, all good-looking women act like this. They break dates, show up late. Ignore phone calls, and we consistently let them get away with it. We often kick our buddies to the curb in favor of some hot chick who's likely to treat you as Erin treated us. And who ends up getting the raw end of the deal? Us. And we continue to tolerate it. Until now.

So we're done with Erin. I know there's essentially a national obsession with this woman, but the fact of the matter is, there are a number of equally qualified, and more attractive women to focus our time and energy on. So no more Erin in this space. We're all about Rachel Nichols, Jenn Sterger, Jamie Little, and locally for that matter, I'm sure Tara Pachmeyer would be happy to come on with us.

THE GUY WHO INVENTED THE SAVE IS DEAD
Jerome Holtzman kicked it at age 82. The inventors of the sack and the batting average send their regards.

PLEASE GOD, MAKE IT STOP
Michelle Wie is gonna try and play with men. Again. Despite the fact that she's not remotely qualified. It's like if I decided I was gonna syndicate my show.

THANK YOU, MARVIN
From Trent's blog.....

Marvin Lewis said there is no interest (in Chris Henry) from the Bengals.

"I'm not interested," Lewis said. "It's not productive for our football team. You have to be a productive part to be an NFL player. There are responsibilities of being an NFL football player. It's not a right."

RUNNING BEHIND. HERE'S SOME TOPICS. YEA.

If I'm an Ohio State fan, you know who's comments I'm not too concerned with? Carson Palmer.

Coco. You get what you pay for. His save % heading into this year was 79%. This year....77%. What's the problem?

Meanwhile, David Weathers does a nice job in the eighth getting out of trouble. Yet, the next time he has a bad outing, we'll be screaming for his head.

Dusty lets Josh Fogg bunt in the 7th. I officially am convinced he's not paying attention.

This team's baserunning is still offensive.

Thank you Mike Celizic.

Really?
