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.

Over the weekend when the Red Sox played the Yankees, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein was interviewed during the broadcast by Joe Buck. During that interview he revealed that the Red Sox would be open to trading Manny Ramirez if they got the right offer and if Manny allowed them to. (Manny has a no trade clause).

Yesterday before their final game in the Yankees series, Manny stated that he wouldn't block a deal to ESPN:

"I'm tired of them. They're tired of me," Ramirez said, according to The Associated Press, before Sunday night's 9-2 victory over the New York Yankees.

In an interview with ESPNdeportes.com earlier Sunday, Ramirez said he will not block a trade if the Red Sox want to go in that direction.

"If the Red Sox are a better team without Manny Ramirez, they should trade me; I will not object," he said.

"I don't have any preferences. I could choose a team that offers me the best conditions or one in the chase for the postseason. I don't care where I play, I can even play in Iraq if need be. My job is to play baseball," Ramirez added.

I don't buy it.

Manny was a huge part of this teams success over the last few years. Sure they could deal him and get some young talent but if they are serious about trying to make the playoffs this season, they won't do a damn thing. I think they will probably hold on to him and he will finally get his groove back and start hitting and they will make the playoffs. Once they do that, all this talk of trading him will go away (until next year).

Braves reliever Will Ohman introduced the Braves lineup over the weekend and he did it in a way that would have made Harry Caray moderately proud.

He managed to throw out some pretty funny jokes about all of his teammates. Something tells me that he will be getting shaving cream to the face at the first opportunity.

ESPN - Bartman friend Frank Murtha says that Bartman won't accept an offer of $25,000. For the money, all Bartman would have to do is attend the National Sports Collectors Convention in Rosemont and autograph a photograph of himself tipping a foul ball that seemed destined for Cubs outfielder Moises Alou's glove during a 2003 playoff game with the Florida Marlins.

I guess it's a good thing that Steve Bartman didn't take the $25 g's for the autograph. Can't say that I agree with him though.

If someone offered you $25,000 for your autograph because of an incident you were involved in that you wish you weren't, would you do it?

If I were in Bartman's shoes, I probably would have just said fuck it and did it. He will always be infamous in the hearts of all Cubs fans and would be tarred and feathered if he ever stepped foot into wrigley field, so he might as well get some money out it. That's just me though.

ESPN - Fifteen players and both managers were ejected -- and a fan was sent to the hospital -- following a 10-minute, benches-clearing brawl in a Class-A minor league game between affiliates of the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs on Thursday night.

The ejections were reversed by the league president George Spelius and the game was completed with Dayton winning 6-5.

The fan was taken to the hospital after being hit by a ball thrown by Peoria (Cubs) pitcher Julio Castillo, who was throwing at the Dayton (Reds) dugout but missed during the first-inning melee between Midwest League teams.

Castillo was arrested and faces one count of felonious assault. He is in the Montgomery County Jail and has a court appearance Friday.

Wow!

So first off, how do you throw a baseball at another player while everyone is just standing around? What the fuck is wrong with that Julio Castillo guy. Then on top of it, he missed and hit a fan. That must've ruined that fan's day. No wonder he plays in the minor leagues.

Second, everyone got ejected but then the ejections were reversed so that they could finish the game. WTF?? Who does that. Have you ever heard of that? I know I haven't. What is minor league baseball coming to?

Here is another view of the whole thing from the bleachers.

Ok so I was really hoping that this whole Alex Rodriguez and Madonna situation was over but I HAD to report this, especially if this turns out to be true.

A British Newspaper is reporting that a man is claiming that he has an A-Rod and Madonna sex tape. WHOA!!!

Of course this dude is trying to get paid. He is demanding $2 million for footage that he claims that he got from a hidden camera in an apartment they were together in.

According to the unnamed cameraman, he found out that they were using one of Madonna's friends' pads for their afternoon romps and so he set up a hidden camera to point at the couch.

So the next question is, if this turns out to be true, how can he get away with this? Isn't it against the law? According to legal experts it is.

But legal experts say if his claims are true the lensman could face prosecution for voyeurism and burglary. One said: “If footage was obtained in this way it would be an outrageous invasion of privacy.

“But more than that he would not have had his friend’s consent to install the camera and must have entered the apartment without approval to hide it. That is burglary.

“He would be prima facie guilty of voyeurism. Instead of making a million he’d be going to jail for a few years.

“Even if the video existed it would probably be seized by the courts.’’

If this sex tape is real, do you guys want to see it?

Is it me or is Manny being Manny getting kind of old.

Here is another situation of the free spirit Manny Ramirez being Manny, reinventing how to play left field. Check out the amazing outfield prowess of Mr. Manny. Thanks Deadspin for this one.
