SPORTS \ HEALTH & NUTRITION QUOTES
Quotes by P.J. O'Rourke, Political Journalist
.
Remember, your body needs 6 to 8 glasses of fluid daily. Straight up or on the rocks.
(The Bachelor Home Companion)
.
If you are young and you drink a great deal it will spoil your health, slow your mind, make you fat - in other words, turn you into an adult.
(Modern Manners)
.
Everything that's fun in life is dangerous. Horse races, for instance, are very dangerous. But attempt to design a safe horse and the result is a cow (an appalling animal to watch at the trotters.)
(Republican Party Reptile)
.
Cockfighting has always been my idea of a great sport - two armed entrées battling to see who'll be dinner.
(Holidays in Hell)
.
True, children look up to professional athletes. But children are short and look up to everything.
(Give War a Chance)
.
AND, FINALLY, FOR THE NEXT CONFAB AT THE WATER COOLER:
.
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
(Parliament of Whores)
.

Named After Famous People
Damon Jones, Northwestern State—The Cavs backup point guard Damon Jones isn't exactly famous, but I needed an excuse to put LeBron James's nasty dunk on him a few years ago.
Chris Martin, Stony Brook—Isn't this guy the main singer from Coldplay? Um, not that I listen to Coldplay or anything...

A Baseball Love Letter
Published by Michael Walsh on February 14, 2009 12:18 am
.
The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love. - Bryant Gumbel, 1981
.
This Valentine’s Day I thought that, in the tradition of the great bards, I would write an ode to my one true love. An ode replete with all of the things I hold dear about my one and only. An ode to the one that gives me hope, brings me joy and forever fills me with child-like optimism. Of course, that love is baseball.
.
———-
I love opening day and the renewed sense that this year will be the year for my beloved Cubbies.
.
I love the way the grass looks greener and the sky seems bluer after the umpire yells, “play ball!”
.
I love doubleheaders, double plays, double steals, Double Duty Radcliffe and, well, doubles…
.
I love the eephus pitch and the circle change; the splitter, the spitter and the four seamer.
.
I love to hate the Yankees.
.
I love singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at the top of my lungs during the seventh inning stretch.

I love Moose Skowron and Rob Deer.
.
I love nasty breaking stuff.
.
I love Tinkers to Evers to Chance.

I love Murderer’s Row, ‘Dem Bums and The Gashouse Gang.
.
I love The Big Donkey, Mule Haas and The Wild Hoss of the Osage.
.
I love the Spaceman, the Moon-man and The Rocket.
.
I love the Called Shot, the Shot Heard ‘Round the World (but not Marge Schott…).
.
I love that no two ball parks are alike.
.
I love 60 feet 6 inches.
.
I love the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd and the Champagne celebration.

I love Rickey talking about Rickey and I love Manny being Manny.
.
I love the Big Unit, the Big Hurt, the Big Train, and Big Papi.
.
I love Little Luis Aparicio, Little Joe Morgan and the Little Professor.
.
I love 6-4-3 double plays.
.
I love inside-the-parkers and walk-off blasts.
.
I love watching the third base coach give the signs.
.
I love knee-buckling 12 to 6 curve balls (good ol’ Uncle Charlie!).
.
I love Jackie Robinson for making baseball what it had always purported to be – America’s Game.
.

.
I love Happy Chandler and Sad Sam Jones.
.
I love Lee May, June Greene, Don August and Mr. October.

.
I love the Crime Dog and The Big Cat.
.
I love extra innings.
.
I love Chili Davis, Pepper Martin, and Bob Spicer.
.
I love Candy Cummings, Coco Crisp and Sweet Lou Whitaker.
.
I love to hear my grandfather say that “none of these guys could hit like Gehrig.”
.
I love to hear my father say that “none of these guys could hit like Aaron.”
.
I love knowing that none of those guys could hit like Pujols.
.

I love the way that the game can break my heart and then make it soar all in the span of a few plays.
.
I love that on the worst summer days baseball is there to take my mind off of my troubles, fears and doubts.
.
But most of all, I love baseball.
———-
And, no matter what anyone says about my game or my heroes it will always be pure in my heart because love is blind.
.
I see none of its flaws and love it for its outer and inner beauty.
.
Do yourself a favor this season – forget all of the talk about steroids and collusion and mismanagement and greedy players and just enjoy the game that we all hold so dear.
.
Just love the game. You’ll thank yourself later.

Darryl Strawberry's new book is 2009 version of Ball Four
.
CAUTION: ADULT MATERIAL FOLLOWS
.
Strawberry has a new book coming out in April, and something tells me his ex-teammates aren't going to appreciate the contents much. Strawberry's claims about all the cocaine they did and the women they had sex with -- sometimes during games -- probably won't sit well.
.
"We were the boys of summer. The drunk, speed-freak, sneaking-a-smoke boys of summer," writes onetime home-run legend Darryl Strawberry in "Straw: Finding My Way," out in April from Ecco.
.
"[An] infamous rolling frat party . . . drinking, drugs, fights, gambling, groupies."
.
Beer "was the foundation of our alcoholic lifestyle," he writes. "We hauled around more Bud than the Clydesdales. The beer was just to get the party started and maybe take the edge off the speed and coke."
.
The team's mantra on the road, he writes, was to "tear up your best bars and nightclubs and take your finest women . . . The only hard part for us was choosing which hottie to take back to your hotel room. Lots of times you . . . picked two or three."
.
Then there are these little tidbits about how the Mets would kill time between innings.
.
Although he doesn't name names, Strawberry relates how team members picked out girls from the stands for quickies.
.
He once watched a pitcher march a frisky fan to a private room for oral sex: "I was jealous. When I saw her heading back to her seat, I gave her a sign. She smiled, turned right back around, and met me in that same little room . . . I had to be quick and run back out on the field."
.
Another time, "I was in the clubhouse, having one last quickie with this cute little Florida girl. Charlie Samuels, the equipment manager, came in and caught us. He just stood there shaking his head while I finished up."

SOCCER QUOTES
Soccer quotes from the soccer movie The Football Factory
.
Plot summary for The Football Factory (2004)
.
The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong. A forgotten culture of Anglo Saxon males fed up with being told they're not good enough and using thier fists as a drug they describe as being more potent than sex and drugs put together. Shot in documentery style with the energy and vibrancy of handheld, The Football Factory is frightingly real yet full of painful humour as the four characters extreme thoughts and actions unfold before us.
