My Favorite MLB Ken Griffey Jr is Being Traded to the Chicago White Sox

Written by Jay on July 31, 2008 – -

ken griffey jr traded

It looks like Ken Griffey Jrs’ days at Cincinnati are over. Apparently, Griffey is being traded to the Chicago White Sox pending the players decision.

Griffey is a 10-year veteran with at least five years playing for the same team so he holds the veto power over any potential deal involving himself.

But honestly, why wouldn’t Griffey go to Chicago? The White Sox are a contending team, matter of fact they’re in first place in their division right now.

The only downfall is the White Sox play in a hard division. But then again, so does the Reds and they haven’t had a winning season for a while.

There has been no word on who the Chicago White Sox are going to give up for this future hall-of-hamer player. Maybe it’s because Griffey has yet to agree to the trade.

As a huge Griffey fan, I want him to win a World Series. And honestly, I don’t think it will be with the Reds.

We will see what happens.

Griffey Throws Throat Slash Signal at Broadcaster Brantley

Written by Jay on July 31, 2008 – -

If you know Ken Griffey Jr, you know he’s not the type to be surrounded by controversy. I mean, with all the speculations with steroids, corked bats, or anything slightly controversial, Griffey’s name is never mentioned… until now.

Apparently, on Saturday night after Griffey hit his 607’s career homerun, he crossed the plate and then did a throat slash signal.

Now, we all know that sign means “it’s over”, “you’re dead”, “I will kill you” or at least something on those lines. Well, this is very unusual for Griffey but that signal was aimed at Reds broadcaster Jeff Brantley.

Well, Brantley is probably one of the worst announcers but what makes it worse, he’s the announced for the team Griffey plays for. So, that just tells me he isn’t cheering for his team, he isn’t supporting his team, matter of fact, if you’re a Cincinnati Reds sports announcer within the teams organization, shouldn’t you stick up for your players?

Okay, so what did he say?

Griffey said “He said I’m pouting because the Reds haven’t picked up my option ($16 million) for next year. If I was that concerned about money I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”

That is very true indeed; especially the fact Griffey took a lot less money to play for the Reds than his worth (at the time).

But Brantley claims he never said that and the subject wasn’t broached until they both sat down in the players dining room early Sunday. Brantley stated, “And I think he’s upset that I said something about the defense of the corner outfielders (Adam Dunn, Griffey).”

So, who’s wrong here?

Well, Brantley for still having a mullet. But I don’t think there’s any wrong here. I’m a Griffey fan and I’m glad he stuck up for himself.

We’ll see how this plays out.

Written by Jay on July 29, 2008 – -

Alicia Keys

It looks like Amy Winehouse is out and Alicia Keys is in to lend her beautiful and soulful voice to the new theme song for the upcoming Bond 007 movie, Quantum of Solace.  Honestly, I would’ve picked Alicia Keys over Amy Winehouse anyday.

Alicia Keys will be teaming up with Jack White, the male half of the White Stripes, to produce this new theme song.  And if you didn’t know, Jack White actually wrote and produced the tune, titled “Another Way to Die,” and he will also play the drums.

The film’s soundtrack is scheduled to come out in stores October 28th, while the movie itself is scheduled to hit theaters on November 7th.  This will be the second 007 movie featuring Daniel Craig is Bond.  We’ll see how he does in this second movie.

White and Keys’ collaboration marks the first time a duo have taken on the task of a Bond song.

Hey, rumors had it that Alicia Keys was one of the frontrunners for this role and it was confirmed earlier today.  Alicia Keys has yet to disappoint in the music area, so expect the theme song to be great!

Arrests Made After Minor League Benches-Clearing Brawl

Written by Jay on July 25, 2008 – -

Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo took a bench-clearing brawl to another level. A standard baseball brawl actually lead to an arrest and potentially a criminal offense.

The 20-year-old Dominican right-handed minor league pitcher was arrested on a felony charge Thursday night after he heightened the brawl incident by hitting a fan with a baseball in the first inning of the Chiefs and Dayton Dragons’ game.

Supposedly, right before the benches cleared, Castillo threw a fastball towards the opponents dugout and speculations has it that the ball bounced off and hit a fan in the crowd.

Box Office Predictions: The Dark Knight Stays On Top, Step Brothers Barely Make Second

Written by Jay on July 25, 2008 – -

the dark knight wallpaper

In it’s second weekend out, my prediction is The Dark Knight will take the number one spot again. I know that’s not a shot in the dark or anything, especially the fact that it made $150+ million in it’s opening weekend. But if you look at this weeks opening movies, Step Brothers and X-Files, it’s not exactly the best competition to dethrone The Dark Knight , is it?

I think it’s quite obvious The Dark Knight will not make the same amount in it’s first week but I think it’ll take in at least another $50+ million.

The movie that I think will take the second spot is a toss-up. I mean, there are a bunch of hardcore X-Files fans but that movie didn’t really get the needed exposure. So, with that said, I will go with Step Brothers to steal the number two spot taking in around $30 million. Honestly, I feel I’m giving a little too much for that movie because the fact that it’s rated R and I’m sure not that many adults will want to see that movie.

The third spot is defaulted to X-Files with $20-$25 million. Again, this is just a prediction and I can be completely wrong. But seriously, they didn’t get that much publicity for the movie and do people really want to see them in a movie?

Hey, that’s my prediction. What do you think?
