Chip Caray Nails It: Or how to make 4 mistakes in 7 words

In praising Jimy Williams work ethic with young players, said:

"Adam Everett, who is a young, budding star with the Houston Astros..."

Let's see, he plays for Minnesota now.

Not young: he's 31 years old.

Not budding: he has been on a major league roster since 2001.

A star? Ok, the guy is good fielding SS, but his career batting line is .246/.298/.355. He's the definition of "good field, no hit" and has been since he was young and budding.

Chip's bulb is dimmer than Skip's and Harry's, and that is saying A LOT.

However, on the list of Carays I Hate, he only places 3rd:

1) Skip Caray
2) Harry Caray
3) Chip Caray

Me likey scandals

This story's longer than the one about 3000 darkies stuck underground...

Scandal Brewing at Oral Roberts U.

* Mrs. Roberts -- who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as ORU's "first lady" on the university's Web site -- frequently had cell-phone bills of more than $800 per month, with hundreds of text messages sent between 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. to "underage males who had been provided phones at university expense."

Apparently I went to the wrong school - I want me a suga mommie...

Proven Veterans: Works for GMs, too

And throw in a little nepotism for good measure...

To replace Phil Garner and Tim Purpura, the Astros have named bench coach Cecil Cooper interim manager and team president Tal Smith interim general manager. There's already some thought that Tal's son Randy, a flop as a GM in both San Diego and Detroit, could be Purpura's permanent replacement.
