Ridiculous World Series Roundup: Cliff Lee Was Bad, Pot in SF, and Pat Burrell is The Machine
Cliff Lee was bad last night. Real bad. Michael Jackson (here if you didn't get the reference).
Just how historically bad was he? Well… [Hardball Talk]
Based on Game Score, which is a Bill James invention that uses various aspects of a pitcher’s performance to calculate one number representing the strength of each start, Lee’s outing ranks as the 13th-worst in Game 1 history.
Meanwhile, when Juan Uribe hit his home run last night, a bunch of folks in San Francisco got high. Every time a Giants player hits a home run in the World Series, a local bud bank will be giving away a free joint to people in the area. Ahh, the West Coast. Ironic, or maybe not so much, because Tim Lincecum smokes pot. [TMZ]
This kid is going as Ron Washington for Halloween. Funny, because Ron does coke- no really, he does. In a way, you could say Lincecum was a gateway story to this picture. Or something like that.
Finally, Pat Burrell in ass-less chaps.
In case you haven’t seen the video, Brian Wison, who is actually rather hilarious, did an interview with Chris Rose earlier this season and in it had a dude in leather S&M garb walk by in the background. He continuously refers to him as “The Machine.”
The Machine is Pat Burrell. Photographic evidence at TheFightins.com.
UPDATE: SF fans "smoking weed" video after the jump. Thanks to Samantha for the video.
