Dead Dogs

Who put the poison in the dog food???


Jarrett Jack - Triple Double Threat


My birdie Cool Mike informed me that Jarrett Jack is taking his talents to Oakland the Golden State.  Jack had a breakthrough season last year for the Hornets, dropping near triple-doubles every day.  Here is Jack's 2011-2012 gamelog.

My guess is that Jarrett Jack will remind Warriors fans of the good ol' Cory Maggette days, dribbling with his head down.

I'm assuming Jack will play the 1.  However, with Stephen Curry entrenched at the position, who will start?

Let's just hope Jarrett Jack doesn't have his shoes untied.

Sandoval's Sexual Assault Charge Dropped


According to Antonio Gonzalez of the Associated Press, Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval's Sexual Assault Charge  was dropped.  According to Gonzalez, investigators said there was not enough evidence to prosecute Sandoval.

Gonzalez writes:
A 21-year-old woman who lives in Santa Cruz County filed a sexual assault complaint against the All-Star third baseman June 1. The woman told investigators she met a small group of people in downtown Santa Cruz and went to a resort in nearby Aptos, where she said she was assaulted. Sandoval was contacted at the resort by detectives and cooperated in the investigation.
Sandoval's attorney, Eric Geffon, had previously called the encounter a ''consensual, personal relationship of a sexual nature.'' In a statement released Thursday, Geffon said: ''The Sherriff's Department has completed a thorough and professional investigation and we are pleased that they have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support an arrest. 

According to a KSBW news report, the 21 year old accuser invited Sandoval to the Seascape resort.  KSBW's report also mentions that the accuser went to the hospital, and that she was too intoxicated to consent to sexual behavior.  

There are a lot of uncertaincies to this case, however, one thing can be determined for certain -- out of anywhere in Santa Cruz, why on earth would he want to go to Motiv???

Cam Newton Charging For Autographs?

According to (cool) Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk.com, Cam Newton is charging for autographs.  Newton will charge $125 to sign a picture, $150 to sign a football and $175 to sign a jersey, with another $50 on top if you want him to personalize it.


One comment on the site said it best: 
 $125 is a bargain…he charged Auburn $180,000 for his signature and he wasn’t even very famous yet at that point
I will never pay that much for his autograph, but it won't stop me from drafting him on my fantasy team.

Side note:  The homie Cool Mike had the top waiver priority in our fantasy league last year and snatched him  after his monster first week...PUCK YOU SIR!

Yankees Prospect Watch - RP Mark Montgomery

Yankees prospect Mark Montgomery is having a dominating season out of the bullpen.  Montgomery's got a  1.42 ERA and 12 saves in 38 IP, with 56 Ks to 14 BBs, and a 1.75 GO/AO (Ground Out/Air Out).  He's striking batters out a superb percentage, and those making contact are hitting ground balls around 60% of the time.

Last season Montgomery was equally as dominating, logging a 1.91 ERA and 15 saves in 28.1 IP, with 51 Ks to 13 BBs, and a 1.47 GO/AO.

Montgomery was selected in the 11th round of the 2011 MLB Draft out of Longwood University.  He may fast-track through the Yankee's system like RP David Robertson.  Montgomery is currently in A+, so provided he keeps up his success, he may reach the majors at some point of the 2013 season.

Jack Cust - A True Yankee?

Jack Cust is ballin for the Yankees' AAA affiliate in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. 


Cust is batting /.260/.400/.502 with 19 home runs in 83 games for AAA Scranton.  It looks like he's cut down on his strikeouts, as he only has 108 K's in 83 games : P

If he gets called up to the Yanks, they probably won't use him as a pinch runner.
