PM Roundup: Preparing For The Finals
Baseball, Hockey, Horse Racing, MMA, NBA, TV, Video June 5th. 2008, 3:45pm
Probably the biggest story in the blogosphere today is that Will Leitch is leaving his post as Deadspin Editor. He’s accepted a position as contributing editor at New York magazine. Yet another example of a young man overcoming the blogs to make something of himself.
Also found on Deadspin today – I’m from Whitehall, N.Y. so I’m predictably laughing my A off right now… And hanging my head in shame… Mostly shame… OK, mostly laughter…

Wii Fit looks like a good buy and a good video
June 5th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Kelly Hazell is so hot she’s ruining my relationships with women, and I’m OK with that.
June 5th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
can always count on CRM to have a better Round Up pic. very nice sir.
June 5th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Congrats to Will.
June 5th, 2008 at 3:59 pm

In response to the Yahoo! hatchet job, Grizzlies Owner Michale Heisley called the most prominent Grizzlies Blog, 3 Shades of Blue, from Kuala Lumpor to set the record straight.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
@irish – Questions like that are not meant to be answered by you or I.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
TBL…I love you…our times together make me happy and your site gets me through my day..but with that said..CRM needs to provide ALL roundup pics..not just a few afternoons a week…It’s not that the chicks you find aren’t hot it is well…I could care less about a red carpet pic of Christina Aguilera…CRM has the pulse of the people…I think its time you understand that…thank you
June 5th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Keely needs makeup to look good. Her body is banging but her face looks odd without paint.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
To quote someone from yesterday, “She has a face?”
June 5th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Roman: congrats on Ike. I’m stoked man.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Hef..congrats to your buddies family..big day..I promise not to boo Ike…well..not really..I hope he doesn’t make me
June 5th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
@CRM- Gemma
June 5th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Keeley Hazell = D*ck sandwiches!
June 5th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Hey TBL, does that Deadspin gig look good to you?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
irish-agreed. congrats on having two U guys get drafted really high, btw.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Who is this chick? Never heard of her.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
some European chick who loves to take her top off. She’s an angel.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Anybody ever think they’d see Vandy put out the no.1 pick, then the no.2 pick in the MLB draft in concurrent years?
/Tim Corbin is bitches.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
@fetch- i tried to check your blog, but you had nothing going. The A’s and Reds got great players. im waiting for my boy Casey Kelly to get picked
June 5th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
@sportsgal: I hadn’t either until about 2 seconds ago and will probably forget her name in another 2 seconds.
/pops 2 riddalin and goes for a bike ride.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
irish: Think Casey will play ball or suit up for the Vols?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
irish–It’s all at Major League Jerk.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Will Jason McIntyre turn to the darkside? Will CRM take over and post pictures of really hot woman with big tatas? Jason who?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
@sean jean- todd helton ring a bell. He will play both. I actually know the kid really well.
@fetch- cool
June 5th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
@Sean Jean: is that the QB recruit?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
@CRM- do you have one of those motorized coolers?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
@irish – No, but I am trying to get my Mother to break into the impound to steal it for me.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
mizerle: Yep.
irish: What can you tell me? He was kind of off of the radar for football.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Sean Jean I don’t think you’re gonna see him on campus.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Interesting to see Leitch on his way out, but it’s hard to be too surprised. I had pretty much stopped reading Deadspin because he was really the only reason I ever visited the site, (I don’t like any of the 5 million guest blogers and columnists he has) and he had pretty much stopped posting there in recent months.
Any chance Gawker can pry MJD away from Yahoo?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
All-time fave term I learned on TBL: Godzilla Biscuits (as in Keeley has some Godzilla Biscuits!). Thanks CRM.
My new second fave term, from MLJ, and Spencer 096’s brilliant rant against Hank Steinbrenner:
. He wished Hank death, and uttered this amusing phrase.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
i hope they do, he’s buried over there.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
@sean jean- i watched some of his high school games. Competition in the state of florida as far as baseball and football go is top notch in the high school level. He was ranked #20 by scout.com for football and was projected to get picked by the Dodgers at pick 15 or whatever pick they had.
but i do see him playing baseball over football in the future. Tenn was one of a few schools that would let him play both
June 5th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I thought the roundup pic was of sportsgal, till someone said it was Keeley.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Big Nuts…you’re a Yankee fan right? can you stand that guy?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Hank is the greatest thing to happen to the Yankees in the history of the Yankees
/a laughing Met fan
June 5th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Spencer — yes I am a Yankee fan, and I think Hank sucks donkey nuts. I was glad when George got older, because I thought it would be smooth sailing ahead, and that GM Brian Cashman could retool the right way and possibly construct another dynasty in a few years. Boy, I was wrong. Here’s to hoping Hank does not do what Dolan does as Knicks ownner.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
How bout a little warning on Zetterberg’s puck bunny picture. I almost got busted looking at it.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Big Nuts…first off Hank rules…secondly..Brian Cashman wasn’t fixing shit…his ability to find releif pitching is atrocious and how many third basemen does he have to sign to play first and then cut..seriously he is not a good GM..money covers up a lot of mistakes..this year he went his way and his balls are showing
June 5th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Roman…he did find Joba. and then Hank came along.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
I thought Joba descended from Heaven?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Roman–
I think some of Cashman’s misfires can be attributed to bringing in mercenaries who don’t fit in New York, for an impatient ownership. As you can see now, I believe players like Melky Cabrera, Robinson Cano, Darrell Rasner, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain represent the right way to move along a rebuilding job that should have started a few years back….
June 5th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
My bad Diesel
June 5th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
With Hirshey leaving Deadspin for the Mouse, I had no reason to go there anymore anyway.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Cashman does suck at finding relievers and backup 1b. Dougie Mienkeiadtizkatzwc should have been retained. How do you let the only guy on the team that likes A-Rod go? Fucking idiotic. His bat was nothing to write home about, but he can help cover up bad throws from Jeter and Cano. Speaking of relievers, Farnsworth just allowed another run in the 8th.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Simmons is ripping ESPN and Sportscenter on the Dan LeBetard show. good stuff.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
walk off Giambino!
June 5th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
He seems like he was just using his UT scholarship as leverage to get a high draft pick, but I know nothing about the dude. I don’t know how good a QB he was either, which is all that matters to me. Baseball I can give or take.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
I can only answer the first one – no.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Say what? where’d you see this? I saw he had a piece in ESPN the Mag, but what else is there?
June 5th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
@TBL – Here you go.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
damn. thanks for that, Jim. that dude can write his ass off. not surprised he’s going to ESPN.
June 5th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Sure, I’m late to the party, but it seems to me that MSM is joining together in a concerted effort to make the Deadspin guys disappear from blogdom. Commence conspiracy theorism…
/kidding. or am i?
