The National League West on Flush 'em Friday the 8 9 13 Edition

It's time for Flush 'em Friday! Time to flush what's clogging up the old pipes. This week...

The National League West (except the Dodgers!)

• The Arizona Diamondbacks...the price of diamonds is going down!
• The San Diego Padres...no friar help here.
• The Colorado Rockies...more like pebbles.
• The San Francisco Giants...they are looking smaller and smaller in the Dodgers rearview mirror. 

That's it for this week, unless you have some flushee's.

Adam Kennedy, Bill Maher, John Boehner, David Ignatius on Flush 'em Friday the 6 14 13 Edition

Welcome to Flush 'em Friday! It's time to flush those who deserve to go down the drain! This week's nominees are:

David Ignatius, so called journalist opinion writer for the Washington Post. If he actually cared about the rule of law he'd be dedicating every waking moment to the removal of BO the POTUS. But, since he is nothing more than a propagandist for the left, he neither thinks nor cares.

Speaker John Boehner, for pushing such a wishy-washy cave-in of an immigration bill. Show a little backbone boy!




Bill Maher, for being such a punk. Really, Billy? Calling Sarah Palin's special needs son retard in an attempt to get a laugh? Say it to his father's face you spineless little little almost a man, I dare you. It's one thing to be jerk, but you didn't have to prove it, we already knew.


ANYONE who laughed at Bill Maher's comment about Sarah Palin's son. Well if you're dumb enough to go to his show, you're dumb enough to laugh at his senseless humor. You probably laugh when someone drops a few f-bombs because they can't actually be funny otherwise. Pathetic little people with so little self worth. 

And finally, Adam Kennedy for throwing at Grienke's head. It's OK, next time Puig will take you yard. 

OK, you tell me, who needs a flushing?

Hears to you George Steinbrenner…thanks for the memories.

The legendary owner of the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner died, yesterday.

George Steinbrenner was not my team’s owner, but for a fan of the game, as the opposing teams owner,  he was the perfect foil. He was great to hate. Truth be told, he was a great owner. To George Steinbrenner winning was the only thing.

So, I pay my respects to an owner that a fan couldn’t ask for more from. He did what he had to do to try to make his team the best team on the field, on any field. Every fan wants that from their team’s owner.

Yes, George Steinbrenner was a bit eccentric, getting in his teams face and his legendary battles with his manager Billy Martin.  But he had a right to demand a return for his investment. The Yankees as I know them are who they are because George Steinbrenner molded them into the image he wanted. I hated them because they were good and when players played for them they just seemed to play better.

To all other owners: Be like George, put the best team on the field for your fans.

A final thought: It is interesting that on the day that he died, so died the American Leagues All-Star game winning streak.
