Kelly Clarkson probably should have never won American Idol in the first place. The fake Justin Timberlake guy she was going against should have won. That was the last time I watched American Idol.

Since then she has fairly mediocre career, this may be the highlight of it though.

Red Sox Monster has a video of her being drunk and belligerent at the Red Sox game.

She likes drinking beer and singing Sweet Caroline at Fenway and she should know better than to do something like that a video tape it with a backwards cap on like that is some kind of disguise.

A fight broke out during the White Sox and Royals game over the weekend. Miguel Olivo charged the mound after D.J. Carrasco hit him with a pitch.

Carrasco threw the ball high and tight on him twice and finally got him with the second pitch. As Olivo charged the mound, A.J. Pierzynski did the loyal thing, trying to stop him from reaching the pitcher.

He paid for his loyalty by being one of the few guys that got hit in this fight.

Five players got ejected after the fake brawl in the Royals 14-3 win over the White Sox.

ESPN - A baseball source has confirmed Ramirez has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, ESPN.com has learned. The Red Sox will pay remaining $7 million of Ramirez’s contract, ESPN.com’s Peter Gammons reported.

Jason Bay is going to Boston as part of the deal, ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark reported. And the Pittsburgh Pirates get four minor leaguers as part of the three-way deal.

Third baseman Andy LaRoche and right-handed pitcher Bryan Morris will go to the Pirates from the Dodgers. Outfielder Brandon Moss and right-handed pitcher Craig Hansen will leave the Red Sox organization for Pittsburgh, ESPN.com has learned.

So it’s the end of an era in Beantown. The Boston Red Sox finally traded Manny Ramirez.

This deal really surprises me. Even with all of the rumors, I really didn’t expect to see a Manny Ramirez deal to go down. I guess it’s probably for the best though. Things seemed like they were getting hot and the Sox do seem like they finally fed up with Manny.

The feelings appear to be mutual. Manny had these comments after being traded.

“The Red Sox don’t deserve a player like me,” Ramirez told ESPNdeportes.com Wednesday. “During my years here, I’ve seen how they [the Red Sox] have mistreated other great players when they didn’t want them to try to turn the fans against them.

“The Red Sox did the same with guys like Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez, and now they do the same with me. Their goal is to paint me as the bad guy,” Ramirez added. “I love Boston fans, but the Red Sox don’t deserve me. I’m not talking about money. Mental peace has no price, and I don’t have peace here.”

Agreed Manny. This trade reminds me of when the Yankees turned their back on Joe Torre last season.

All Manny did was helped them to 2 World Series titles. It is what it is though.

Jason Bay has been a good player for a while now in Pittsburgh but he didn’t get any attention because he plays for the Pirates. At 29 they get a younger moderately good hitter. He’s no Manny but he’s nothing to sneeze at. This season he is right on par with Manny in terms of stats.

Bay’s .299 BA, 20 HR, 68 RBI season numbers look similar to Manny’s .282 Avg, 22 HR, 64 RBI numbers.

This deal helps all three of the teams involved but none of them will make the playoffs this season. Look for the Rays and the Yankees to make the playoffs from the AL East.

The upgraded themselves yesterday by adding Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez to fill their void at the catcher position.  In exchange they sent relief pitcher Kyle Farnsworth the Tigers.

This is a good look for the Yankees.  This should help them in their attempt to make the playoffs.  Pudge has been one the best, if not the best catcher in the league for a long time.  This season he’s hitting .295.  That’s better than all of the other Yankees catchers this season.

The Tigers have been in need of some help in the bullpen all season so this should help them out as well.

Both teams are currently in third place in their divisions so we will see if this deal helps either of them make a push for the playoffs.

During the Bottom of the sixth inning of last nights Yankees/Orioles games, Jason Giambi came up to the plate. The Orioles decided that it’d be a good idea to put the shift on. They basically bet the house that Jason would pull the ball into right field.

He did. Unfortunately for them, the ball just went over Brian Roberts’ outstretched glove.

After that, Giambi let Roberts know exactly how he felt about the shift by flipping him the bird.

Your average whack ass celeb gets their 15 minutes of fame. It sucks but hey that’s something we all have to deal with.Unfortunately at a Schaumburg Flyers minor league baseball game, people had to deal with William Hung coming to sing “She Bangs,” DURING pre-game warm-ups as he tried to steal another 30 seconds of fame. That’s one way to try and throw the other team off.

The Sports Hernia found this pic of everyones favorite retired pitcher, Orel Hershiser looking very evil.

Pics are always questionable because you catch someone in a still that may not accurately portray what they look like, but in this case, I think they got it right on. It makes the Joker look like, Batman or something.
