Confirmation that Albert Pujols comes from another planet
By Cheap Tickets at 19 March, 2010, 12:53 pm
Remember the old Time-Life Books series — ” Mysteries of the Unknown ,” I think it was redundantly called? No, not the “Old West,” the one where John Wesley Hardin shoots a man ” just for snorin’ too loud .” And not the one where they teach you to build a deck like a union man would. The one that wonders aloud if “ancient astronauts” built the pyramids (no, it couldn’t possibly have been Egyptians) — that one. It’s the same kind of thinking that leads to the belief that a guy sitting on a tractor couldn’t possibly have made those fancy doodles in his field. It must have been aliens! Well, the above screen cap of a page on Google Maps confirms what many have long believed: St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols (notes) is not of this earth. In case you’re still a non-believer, check out the address itself and click on “satellite” (of love) for the coolest baseball-from-spaaaaaaace image you’ll see until E.T. returns. Note the interlocking design around the bird logo. A stargate of some kind? Or, perhaps it’s a symbol of Albert’s rank in an insterstellar fleet of supermen. Perhaps it’s just a maze in which Cubs fans can lose themselves forever.

Edwards, Harvick renewing their feud
By Cheap Tickets at 19 March, 2010, 12:13 pm
(Yes, that’s a picture of Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick from 2008. Read on; it’ll make sense.) So much for a boring NASCAR. All of a sudden, the sport is starting to resemble the mid-90s west coast/east coast gangsta rap war. Eventually, everyone’s gonna have to take a side. Bristol was everyone’s first chance to talk in depth with the media about the Carl Edwards/ Brad Keselowski dustup of two weeks ago, and everybody was armed for bear. Especially Carl Edwards, who came out firing. On Friday morning, the AP’s Jenna Fryer asked Edwards about the perception that he may have an anger-management problem, and he replied: “That’s fine. People are going to say what they do … That’s all they can say about me because it’s hard for them to accept that I am a decent guy.” Fryer then brought up comments Kevin Harvick made earlier this week (”I’ll be honest with you, I’m not a huge Carl Edwards fan. I think he’s fake as hell”), and all of a sudden, things jumped up a level: “I have absolutely no respect for Kevin Harvick. I think he’s a bad person. That’s my opinion. I’ve told him that … We’ve had our deal before and his actions through that … were so devious and underhanded and cowardly that I just have no respect for him … When people like that question me, it makes me feel better because if those people were lined up patting me on the back, I’d be on the wrong side of what’s right and wrong. And I truly believe that.” Later Friday, Harvick, naturally, didn’t back down from his comments, and neither did his wife Delana. In response to another Edwards quote: “I don’t go talk behind their back like little girls, that’s what a lot of them do” — she replied on Twitter, “no he just leaves notes in planes!” That, of course, is a reference to the 2008 fight between Edwards and Harvick . Edwards and Greg Biffle had collided at Talladega. Harvick, who was taken out in the ensuing wreck, didn’t hold back when interviewed, and Edwards apparently later left a note in his plane that read, “I was really trying to screw up everyone’s day. Love, Carl.” So, yeah — it’s on now. Edwards! Harvick! Keselowski! Who ya got?
