Most people won’t know why this is funny. Heck…it’s really not even that funny, but it is to me. You see, Brandon Inge has played for the Detroit Tigers baseball team since 2001. That’s a long time right? Excruciatingly long actually. To last that long in Major League Baseball is normally an exceptional feat. Players just don’t last this long unless they are very good, or at least provide some sort of utility for a team like being a great relief pitcher. You ask…Inge must have been good at SOMETHING right? At one time maybe. HE was really good at diving for baseballs and making it look like he was an awesome defender. Something that is sort of useful, but doesn’t keep you in the league for 10+ years normally. Especially when for the past 5 years he has had bad knees and isn’t even in the top half of defenders at his position.

So…what is he good at? Striking out on check swings is my answer.

This guy couldn’t hit. He has a career batting average of .234. ThisBA is usually not even acceptable for a catcher, and catchers aren’t really expected to be great hitters because they call the games for the pitcher and that is pretty important. Still if you hit .234 for 10 years at catcher you aren’t gonna be playing for 10 years either. You’ll be selling decorative switch plate covers at Lowe’s.

Worst part about this is that he seemed like he was a fan favorite in Detroit. PEole that didn’t really watch baseball loved him for some reason. The diving around is my best guess. This guy could go 0-4 with 3 strikeouts in a game and end up being voted Player of the Game on our local broadcasts with the little cell phone text voting they have every game. I mean this guy was actually popular. Women and old ladies loved him.

So why was he kept around so long? I have NO IDEA. All I can guess is that he mifght have sold tickets, but even that seems absurd.

Anyways, they cut his ass finally this week and he is gone FOR GOOD. Then this happened….

I can’t even get through 30 seconds of this before I have to turn it off. It’s absolutely disgusting. So creepy.

I really don’t know what this is from, but it’s the most awkward thing I have ever seen. The crowd reactions are the strangest of it all. Sometimes they laugh, and cheer, but you can tell at certain points that they just can’t really get on board with this sicko and his dialogue with these kids. I’ll bet you can’t make it past the first kid.

Nobody pays for music anymore. Doesn’t matter if you are a broke college kid, or running a sporting event and need to have the national anthem for the medal winners.

A gold-medal winning athlete from Kazakhstan was forced to stand through a national anthem that insulted other countries and boasted of her nation’s “clean prostitutes” when organizers at a shooting competition accidentally played a fake anthem from the comedy film “Borat.” Nice spray tan.

Watch the video below.

Looks hilarious. Starring Mark Whalberg (This guy is hit, or miss, but he’s awesome when acting funny IMO), Mila Kunis (hot as hell) are playing a couple. Then Seth MacFarlane is playing…Ted…a stuffed Teddy Bear that talks. Like a sailor with a yoyo.

It’s just stupid funny looking. The preview below is nice and long. 3 minutes. Also, there is a website for Ted is Real that goes more into it. Appareantly it doesn’t open until July, but I’m sure you will see it advertised everywhere until then as Seth MacFarlane is about the most annoyingly everywhere guy there ever was.

IF you read my Bastion review a while back you know that I highly recommended the game. It’s just a beautiful game with a unique presentation. Mostly though, the narrator talking all the way through and narrating almost your every move is one of the best parts of the game. I know it sounds annoying, but it just…works. I mean you don’t want some guy narrating your life at your costco jobs or anything, but in a game it is cool.

Anyways, I saw this a few months ago and neglected to post it so I am doing it now. If you played Bastion already you will love it of course. It’s good either way though.
