Baby Markakis On The Way

According to a Baltimore paper:

This time, the Orioles won't lose their best player to the World Baseball Classic. Right fielder Nick Markakis told The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday that he has declined an invitation to play for Team USA in next spring's Classic, a decision that mostly revolved around the impending birth of his first child.

"My first child is due on March 12, and that's right in the middle of it," Markakis told the Sun's Jeff Zrebiec. "It's definitely a big honor and something I'd like to do. But with my first kid being born, I have other responsibilities to take care of. It was a hard decision, but an easy decision.

The baby will arrive far less than 9 months after Nick's nuptials to the lovely Christina. Either way, we wish them a happy and healthy baby!

30 Days of Glory - It's Red Sox time!

So after subjecting myself to the torture that was the Angels, I got a good night's sleep to prepare for today's physical challenge - digging through the Red Sox roster. Though, let's call a spade a spade - I knew where I was going with this one. Growing up a Mets fan in New York, let's just say you spend a lot of time cheering the BoSox on. Am I right?? A lot of time around the Sox means that actually years upon years of research have gone into this post. But for you, I will. Here's my starting line-up!

2nd Runner Up:

Javier Lopez



I love pitchers. And I love boys who throw sidearm. AND, I think he's pretty. Those are reasons enough.


1st Runner Up:

Justin Masterson



Because he's 23. Because he's 6'6. Because I dig him.


Champion:

Jason Varitek



Cuz Boogie adores him and what she says goes.


Honorable Mention:

Brandon Moss



There is something charming about him, even though he does remind me of Alfred E. Neuman with those bug eyes.

I Don't Get That Drunk Anymore:

Hideki Okajima



Ok, I had to look it up. Hideki is only 32 years old. How does he manage to look like someone's ancient Japanese grandfather? It's really astonishing. If I slept with him, I would feel like I was going to bed with my friend Rebecca's grandfather who lived with her, didn't speak English and was always offering me coconut. I gotta go with a big ole "Nuh uh" here. He is a party foul.

30 Days of Glory - Baltimore Orioles Style

Let's quash the debate right here. I am a fan of baseball. I love the game. But I am also a woman, and as a woman, I love a fit, sexy ass man running around the field in a uniform. I would imagine most women do (discounting of course my friends who seem to date 12 pound musicians in skinny jeans.) So in an attempt to both show them what they're missing and show the boys of summer a little love, I present... 30 Days of Glory.


For the next 30 days, I have committed myself to the grueling and thankless task of selecting the sexiest men on each MLB team. I am even giving love to the gentlemen of the American League. This particular team was hard to select winners from as apparently the ugly stick shattered and rained all over their dugout and bullpen. But, I was determined to make my selections, so without further adieu, let's show the Orioles a little love.



2nd Runner Up:

Jeremy Guthrie

Why Jeremy is sexy... he was a missionary. I love a man that does charity work... and does it while rocking six-pack abs.

1st Runner Up:

Brian Burres

Mmm... and I am just going to throw it out there that he has an identical twin brother.

Champion:

Nick Markakis

Congrats to you on being the best of what's around! A good boy originally from Long Island, Nick actually won a silver medal in the Olympics for Greece which makes him infinitely sexier to me. I love a Greek boy... and some damn Greek food. And as the first Oriole since 1999 to hit 3 homeruns in a single game, well, I'm sold. I will gladly eat baklava off of Nick any day.

Honorable Mention:

Alberto Castillo

Alberto Castillo..congratulations on the Inaugural Honorable Mention. This award is presented to you strictly based on the fact that I have virtually no idea what you look like. Even your team elected to post a little .jpeg of an oriole instead of your face on their official site. That to me says maybe I should have named you for the next award.

Wouldn't Hit That If You Paid Me:

Radhames Liz

This was indeed the most attractive photo of Radhames I could find. Scratch that, they were all a bit lacking in the aesthetically pleasing department. While I am sure he is a fine, standup citizen and all-around good guy, Radhames gets a "Hell to the Hell No! I wouldn't hit that if you paid me." (Except I probably would... everyone has a price.)
