The Morning After Pill – I’M LATE! edition

The Morning After Pill is a daily recap of the previous days events from the sporting world. Certain teams and entire sports are left out due to an extreme lack of caring or crippling hangovers. It’s probably the hangovers though, and they might not even be crippling.  Today’s edition has been crafted by WSR, meaning the paper drafts reek of tears and whiskey. That’s how we roll.

Holy shit, I’M LATE!  I’ve been screaming that all morning.  Fortunately for me, the fiancée has not been screaming that.  Anyway, this is an abridged version because I’m not supposed to show up to work an hour late any more, and I obliged today: I showed up an hour and five minutes late.

NHL

Hell of a game between Danny Carcillo, errrr the Blackhawks and the Flyers.  Chicago ends up winning 2-1, taking a 2-0 lead in the series, and they’ve never really looked like they’ve not been in control.  To say that Philadelphia’s on the ropes in this one is probably an understatement.  They should be able to steal a game in Philly, but the engraver’s probably already started his work.

MLB

The MLB Network aired live the afternoon game between the Rockies and Giants featuring impending NL Cy Young winner Ubaldo Jimenez (he of the high stirrups.  YEAH!) and reigning NL Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum.  One of them looked the part, and it wasn’t Lincecum.  Jimenez pitched a 4-hit 9-strikeout 0-run masterpiece to extend his scoreless inning streak to 26 while lowering his ERA to 0.78.

Other notes: The Indians intentionally walked Mark Teixeira to fill first base to face known blatant cheater Alex Rodriguez.  The dirty whore responded properly by hitting the 20th Grand Slam of his career.

There you go.  No real NFL news, I don’t give a shit about the NBA, and you’ll want to check out Unprofessional Foul and Avoiding the Drop for news on Crystal Palace’s impending demise.  Ugly stuff, folks.  No cheesecake because I didn’t plan ahead.  I apologize, and I’ll make up for it.

Fantasy Baseball Update

Here is your 51 Game MVP

I’m not positive if anyone cares about fantasy sports as much as I do. I’m in a deep 12 team (4 bench spots), 18 category league. So I pretty much live fantasy baseball when necessary but I have one other thing that I feel passionate about, in my life. And it that I HATE hearing people talk about stuff that I don’t care about. So, let me just warn you…If you don’t like fantasy baseball and droll rambling from the geekiest jock on the internet, I’d suggest not clicking “read more”. If you want to put in your pocket protector and tape up your glasses, come join me for a discussion on who is helping your team and who killed you.

NHL: No Hockey again last night, or for that matter tonight. Thanks Gary.

NFL: It’s officially a sad day. The best NFL news I could wrangle up without putting in any effort is that six of the Browns starters are skipping OTA’s in contract disputes. Suck it up guys. You play for the Browns. No one else in the NFL wants you. Basically, y’all are fucked.

NBA:The Celtics magically lost last night against the Magic, 113-92 Referee, Joey Crawford, called a shaky game and ejected Glen Davis. Many people were outraged and Simmons was, of course, bitchy. The general consensus though, is that creepy uncle Stern pulled his diabolical puppet strings and influenced the game. Oh, and Dwight Howard had 21 points and 10 boards.
