Can anybody stop the Jason Bay machine? 3 walks, a triple, two runs scored, a web gem and a Heidi Watney on field interview. Manny who?

Jason Bay walked and scored first run of the game tonight. I would have liked to see Manny do that. Cue the duckboats bitches!

Introducing Jessica from Worcester State University. Is that even real? Anyway I wish I had more pictures of this girl. We only got a handful but it was enough to give her the nod. I can just tell that this girl is liquid gold. Not to mention that her friend's ass helped push her over the edge.

My computer broke and won't be fixed until mid next week. So now is a great time to cut to the front of the line and become a smokeshow. Send all nominations to randomthoughts@barstoolsports.com

So,

I am assuming there are a few of you who are wanting to murder me at this precise moment… Now, deep breaths, it will grow back at some point. And I think it is pretty darn cute.

For three years I have been wanting to cut my hair. It’s been long for about 15 bloody years. If I had not been working on a television series I would have cut it a while ago. I suppose this is kind of an expression of freedom, haha. Us gals tend to have so much tied up in hair. There is like this emotional attachment to it, and it is apparently a REALLY big deal to cut it all off…in one go. I had a plethora or offers to come with, to document, and I just went in there on my own and Sarah (she is the key hairstylist on Smallville, and is freakin rad) tied it in a ponytail and sawed the sucker off…

And now I have short hair. It feels really different. My head feels different. Washing my hair this morning was by far the strangest experience I have had in a while… Like, there is no hair there. And there was before. And now there isn’t. Really weird. And yoga was fun with no hair. And I can feel the wind rush through, and the sun hit the nape of my neck, and my head feels LIGHT. I am experiencing the world in a new way. Really that is how I feel about this new phase in my life.

Apart from my family, Smallville is the longest relationship I have been in. 7+ years. And it has now pretty much ended. The decisions I am making now are a reflection of where I am in my 20’s. GBD is my primary commitment at this point, as well as my relationships. I have got to admit that it is really strange to not walk into that studio every week. But, there is a whole world of new shizznat that I now have the opportunity to choose. I can grab the proverbial hair goo of life and play… I told you all last week. I am sappy.

Love,

Kristin

p.s. I have never used hair goo until now. I actually need to style my hair now. Oh, the possibilities….

What? Huh? Help! Wah? Can't breathe! Huh? No more Smallville for Kristin? And what is this GBD she's talking about? Where did hot Kristin go? I think I'm just going to sit in the my room with the lights off for the rest of the week and listen to the Byrds "Turn, Turn, Turn".

PS - Cue all the morons saying this blog sucks, blah, blah, blah. Bottom line is that I was blogging about Kristin Kreuk before 99% of our readers even knew what the Stool was. If you don't like it go die and read something else.

Balled Out!

Both people got demolished here, but my vote is with the cheerleader simply based on the fact she never saw it coming. The soccer dude was basically begging to get owned. I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of voting for him.

Vote 1 for soccer dude and 10 for cheerleader

Stool,

This is a video of a friend of mine still stuck in the miserable tv news industry. He was late getting to a press conference, and well, you'll see what happened. This guy also announced to everyone at my wedding that I soiled the sheets of my bride, which while true, made me blush for maybe the first time in my life. All that said, I love him like a brother and figured other stoolies may appreciate this.

I'll tell you right now that I like this guy. That is how you handle falling down. He was as cool as it gets given the situation. I also like how he uploaded the video himself and his buddy is a Stoolie.

Bostonherald.com - We hear that Gisele Bundchen has a big birthday surprise in store for her QB/QT Tom Brady [ stats], who turns 31 on Sunday. According to OK! maggie, Gi has commissioned a one-of-a-kind calendar featuring herself in 12 different poses which she will bind and present to No. 12. The maggie says the Brazilian bombshell has commissioned her photographer pals to shoot her in racy lingerie, in knee socks and Brady’s jersey, and in some kind of birthday cake pose (let your imaginations run wild . . .) for August.

Fucking Tom Brady!    God Damn this guy knows how to live.   Ladies pay attention.   This is how it's done.   I don’t want to hear any more garbage about not knowing what to get your boyfriend for his birthday.   Gisele has laid down the gauntlet.   Hit the gym, become an international supermodel and make a custom porn calendar for him.   That’s how you treat your man in Titletown USA.  Anything less is unacceptable.  Anyway in honor of Gisele’s thoughtful expression of love here is one man’s humble opinion of the 12 best pictures of her on the web….

Yahoo.com - Beer Pong is a virtual rendition of the popular college drinking game that requires players to toss Ping-Pong balls across a table and into a cup of beer (if your cup is hit, you drink). The game was designed for the popular Nintendo Wii platform, and its maker had planned to release it as the first game in its new Frat Party Games series. But concerned parents began sending angry letters to JV Games and Nintendo - Connecticut attorney general Richard Blumenthal even got in on the action, sending his own missives to the companies - until JV Games agreed to change the title of the game to Pong Toss and fill its pixelated cups with water. "The controversy isn't entirely surprising. The point of beer pong is to get your friends drunk - and parents and university administrators generally frown on that sort of thing. Last fall, GeorgetownUniversity banned beer pong, specially made beer-pong tables and inordinate numbers of Ping-Pong balls and any other alcohol-related paraphernalia in its on-campus dorms - even in the rooms of students of legal drinking age. Last year, DartmouthCollege banned water pong, the real-world version of Pong Toss, because of the risk of water intoxication - it's no joke, as an H2O overdose can be fatal. "I know that [water pong] seems like a good balance between the Dartmouth drinking culture and just trying to have fun," Kristin Deal, a Dartmouth community director, wrote in an e-mail to students announcing the prohibition. "However, it can be just as dangerous, if not more so." Could this mark the beginning of the end of beer pong? The game does have plenty more critics outside the walls of academia. The town of Belmar, N.J., for example, outlawed outdoor beer pong in 2005 after the city council passed an ordinance declaring that it exposed unconsenting neighbors to "foul language, rowdy and disorderly behavior and to examples of the consumption of alcohol under circumstances that are detrimental."

Shit like this never ceases to amaze me.  Listen if you want to crack down on under age drinking, that’s fine.  And if Dartmouth wants to crack down on excessive water drinking that’s cool to.  But to think that by banning Beirut you’re somehow going to curb college drinking is honestly the most asinine thing I’ve ever heard in my life.   I mean by using that logic college kids shouldn’t be allowed to own quarters, cups, dice, cards, televisions, music, gas grilles or basically anything else in the world that could promote alcohol.    Listen, the bottom line is that kids who want to get fucked up are always going to get fucked up.   The only way to stop it is to get more police out on the street.   Because only a fool would believe that by banning Beirut you’re somehow keeping somebody who wants to drink from drinking.   It doesn’t work in Belmar NJ and it won’t work in dorm rooms across the country.

Cue the Belmar video...

Q - What's your biggest Pet Peeve?

A - "Biggest Pet Peeve?......I don't even know what the fuck that means."

Bro, this video had me at hello. I think you need to watch it at least 33 times before you can catch everything. It's just one gem after another. I love the guy who had a broken thigh, torn ACL, dislocated kneecap, took a couple pain killers, partied on one leg for a week and knocked down two threesomes in the process.

Well I guess technically everyday is a great day to be a Yankee, but today is even better.  Me and my Yankee fan buddies (above) are already cracking open the champagne to celebrate in all likelihood, World Series #27.

First they robbed the Tigers blind in trading Kyle Farnsworth, who was pitching well of late but still sucks, for an everyday Hall of Fame catcher in Pudge Rodriguez.  Granted Pudge is not the same Pudge as he was in the late 90’s, but everybody knows this is a huge upgrade over Jose Molina who was an automatic out a.k.a. “The Varitek” of the Yankee order.  Now add Pudge to the bottom of that lineup and I’ll certainly take my chances with Damon-Jeter-Abreu-Arod-Giambino-Nady-Cano-Pudge-Cabrera.  Is that the best lineup in baseball? I don't know whose is better top to bottom.

And obviously reason #2 why today is a great day to be a Yankee, their arch rivals just traded away the best right-handed hitter in the last 30 years, and career Yankee killer to boot, for some guy on the Pirates. 

Jason Bay has been a productive hitter in meaningless National League games with nobody paying attention, sure, but something tells me Joba Chamberlain and Company would rather have him waiting on deck behind David Ortiz than Manny Ramirez in the late innings of a big game.  Actually, other than Donnie Baseball, I can't think of anyone I would dread seeing more in a pressure situation than Manny.

The bottom line is Red Sox fans can argue all day whether or not this was the right move – but as a Yankee fan, undoubtedly this is a great day.  Anytime the Red Sox get worse, means the Yankees just got better.

*No Pats were taken off the PUP list Friday, but Manny Ramirez was permanently placed on the Red Sox DOG list.

*The difference between Tom Brady and your garden variety future gold sport coat QB is that Brett Favre destroys his team with his stupid year long moral conundrum, Peyton Manning throws his teammates under the Fung Wa every time something goes wrong, and Brady does this: In the afternoon session when a snap between him and Russ Hochstein ended up on the ground, Brady without hesitating, put his head down and took a lap with Hochstein right behind him. The difference between Brady and Hochstein? When Hochstein does it, his feet have to touch the ground.

*One of the recurring themes so far in camp is the high number of passes defensed by the secondary. That might be a concern on most teams, but when you've lost two of your starting DB's from last year and your QB is Superman, this is good news. Starting with Fernando Bryant and including Jonathan Wilhite and Tank Williams, the Pats have seen more batted balls than Josh Hamilton in Yankee Stadium.

*The NFL sent referees to Foxboro to familiarize the Patriots with the new Force Out rule. And after they left, Belichick familiarized them with the Dark Side of the Force Out rule.
