of you a Happy Thanksgiving! I honestly did not plan on writing anything today,
but while watching the Detroit Lions vs. Houston Texans game I really had no
choice, but to write about a certain play.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> We all know that refereeing games is hard and blown
calls will be made, but the Justin Forsett “touchdown” should not have been
missed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">First off, Walt Coleman and his crew failed to blow
the whistle after Forsett’s elbow and knee clearly touched the ground. Forsett
ended up running 60+ plus yards for a “touchdown.” Lions coach Jim Schwartz
mistakenly threw the challenge flag onto the field. Due to NFL rules, once
Schwartz threw the flag down, it wiped out any chance for the play to be
reversed via official review.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Not only was the call missed, Detroit ended up being
charged with a 15 yard penalty because of the challenge flag.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Watching professional football hasn’t been the same
over the past couple of seasons because rules constantly changing. The average
football fan can’t even keep up with all of the new rules. So what if Jim
Schwartz threw a challenge flag when the call was going to be reviewed anyways?
Why is that a penalty? Why does it deserve a 15 yard penalty?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After the “touchdown” was signaled, Schwartz immediately
pointed to himself signaling that it was his fault. Who can blame him for
throwing a challenge flag? It was an obvious missed call and the people
speaking into his ear were probably telling him that Forsett was down. Also,
this rule for reviewing every touchdown is fairly new.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Texans fans have definitely found something to be
thankful for. Also, props to Justin Forsett for being aware that no whistles
were blown and finishing the play. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> It’s been a while, but it’s great to be writing again. Sorry to those who have been waiting for more articles. Thank you for your patience!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>Back to the point at hand, the first Really, Bro? of the 2012 NFL season is dedicated to Joe Levine’s article discussing Pittsburgh Steelers’ Pro Bowl safety Ryan Clark’s “dirty” hit on New York Giants’ receiver Victor Cruz last night. Eli Manning threw a pass intended for Cruz in the endzone which ended up being dropped by Steelers corner back Ike Taylor. Steelers fans’ emotions went from being a little upset by the dropped interception to being happy that they forced the Giants to settle for a field goal and then to being infuriated by an unnecessary roughness penalty called against Clark.</span></span><br />

In real time, that was a bang-bang play. I know it looks bad watching in slow motion, but what if the ball somehow got past Taylor? In football, also true in about any sport, a player has to anticipate bad plays like that to occur. Clark is a very intelligent football player and is always where the action is. If you look at the play over, Clark is already anticipating the ball to be in Cruz’s hands as he gets ready to knock the ball loose. He’s not expecting Taylor to “deflect” the pass.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></span><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>While this unnecessary roughness “penalty” AND the Roethlisberger “fumble” deserve their own Really, Bro?’s, the article Joe Levine deserves one the most. Not only does he call the play “dirty,” he goes on to call Clark an “idiot.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Here’s what Levine wrote:</span></span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br />In the second quarter of today’s game between Pittsburgh and New York, the Giants face a 3rd-and-goal from the two yard line. Eli Manning took the snap, evaded the rush, and threw a bullet intended for receiver Victor Cruz that fell incomplete, forcing a fourth down. Or so it would have, if Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark hadn’t illegally speared him in the end zone for the unnecessary roughness penalty to give New York a first-and-goal.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Both an idiotic and dangerous play for Clark, as it not only gave New York a fresh set of downs, but also put Cruz’s safety as risk, as Cruz lay motionless in the end zone after the hit.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;">Levine continues:</span></span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Thankfully, Cruz would just be momentarily shaken up with a rib injury and the Giants would score on the next play. Way to go, Clark, you idiot.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br />And just to show that instant karma will get you, the Giants returned a Ben Roethlisberger fumble for a touchdown on the ensuing Pittsburgh drive.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #999999;">Wait, what??? All I have to say is:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Really, Bro?!?!?!?!?”</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>Karma? For what? Being punished for playing physical football? Scratch that, for just playing football the way it’s supposed to be played? Joe Levine, this isn’t flag football<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>Also, let me explain this to you: Ben Roethlisberger did NOT fumble. His arm was clearly going forward and he still had control of the ball. Another missed call, was an obvious block in the back on that fumble recovery “touchdown.” If it was Tom Brady, I wonder what the call would have been. That’s another story for another time. Back to Joe Levine.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>It’s one thing to hate the fact that Victor Cruz was injured on the play. Heck, I was too. I was glad to see him get up and continue to play. I hate seeing injuries, but to go out on a stretch to call the play “dirty” and “illegal” is a little too much. Also, the fact that you called Clark an “idiot” deserves a Really, Bro?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: yellow;">You guys know how I feel about this whole thing, how do you guys feel? Dirty or clean? Please let us kn<span style="font-size: large;">ow in the comment section below!</span></span></span></div>

The White Sox Captain is a big reason that the White Sox are currently 8 games above .500 and hold a 2.5 game lead in the AL Central in front of the Cleveland Indians. In a season where the White Sox were supposed to be “rebuilding” and not to come close to contending for a playoff spot, Konerko has helped the White Sox emerge as early season contenders for the World Series.</p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Of course, these rosters will be made up of players who are voted in by the fans. While I may disagree with this method, this game is played for the fans, so why shouldn’t they be able to vote? If the average baseball fan voted for the most deserving players, instead of voting for “fan favorites,” then there would not be as much controversy surrounding the Midsummer Classic. Based on the numbers MLB.com has provided, I will have to predict that Detroit Tiger’s newly acquired 1B Prince Fielder will be the 2012 American League All Star. Based on the number of votes listed above, Fielder holds a 329,468 vote lead on 2<sup>nd</sup> place Yankees 1B Mark Texeira and a 355,640 vote lead on Konerko. Fielder is receiving many votes from Tiger fans as well as his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers. Texeira plays for the Yankees, that is all that needs to be stated.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">Check out these stats entering June 5<sup>th</sup>, 2012:</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Paul Konerko</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">50 GP .366 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>67 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>31 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>24 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>11 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>33 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>23 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>1.062 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Prince Fielder</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">54 GP .319 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>66 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>31 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>22 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>9 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>35 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>21 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.899 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Mark Texeira</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">50 GP .253 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>48 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>21 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>9 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>32 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>19 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.777 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b>SECOND BASE</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Cleveland Indians 2B Jason Kipnis</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Second basemen are not usually known for putting up great offensive numbers throughout the history of the MLB, but the past three to four years these top 3 vote-getters have put up ridiculous offensive numbers.

Nonetheless, all three of these second basemen are still putting up respectable numbers, but I will give the edge to Robinson Cano. Cano is arguably the best fielding 2B out of these three and maybe in the MLB. The slick fielding Cano is much more than a glove, his power numbers is what makes him stand out amongst the three. Don’t count out Kinsler or Pedroia though, both of these players are great players as well.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Kinsler currently holds a 282,723 vote lead on Cano and a 747,749 vote lead on Pedroia. Kinsler’s lead on Pedroia may be enough to hold off the 2008 AL MVP, but the lead on Cano may not be quite enough to hold off the Yankees slugging second baseman. Los TeBros knows not to underestimate the power of the Yankee fans. Honestly, I do believe Ranger fans will vote enough for Kinsler to maintain the starting second baseman honors. Wow, a New York Yankee on the wrong side of fan favorite voting! Who would’ve thought? Lol</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>I completely understand that Indians’ fans feel that Jason Kipnis should be starting. He’s certainly made a case for it, but it’s terrible that Kipnis doesn’t rank in the Top 5 voting for AL second baseman. I mean, Robert Andino and Chris Getz have more votes than Kipnis. Really, Bro? The Arizona State product deserves as many votes as the “elite” second baseman, if not more. I’m not sure people are noticing the kind of numbers Kipnis is putting up. He may not be up to par with the other second baseman in the extra base hit department, but Kipnis’ production should not be overlooked. He’s driven more runs and has stolen more bases than those “elite” second basemen thus far. In conclusion, the starting second base position should be between Kipnis and Cano.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold;font-size:16.0pt;" >2012 Statistics entering June 5th:</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b>Jason Kipnis</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">53 GP .280 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>60 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>38 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>16 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>9 HR<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>34 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>13 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.792 OPS</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b>Robinson Cano</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">53 GP .284 Batting Average <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>60 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>36 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>28 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>8 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>24 RBIs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>1 SB<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.840 OPS</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Ian Kinsler</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">53 GP .274 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>63 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>43 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>6 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>24 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>7 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.797 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Dustin Pedroia</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">48 GP .295 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>59 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>30 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>20 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>5 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>21 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>3 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.800 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b>THIRD BASE</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Detroit Tiger 3B Miguel Cabrera</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>There’s no question that Tigers’ third baseman Miguel Cabrera is in the lineup for his bat and his bat only. Cabrera is a designated hitter doing a serviceable job at 3B. Third base was actually the position Cabrera was playing when he came up to the big leagues as a young 20 year old for the Florida (Now known as Miami) Marlins. As several years have passed, Cabrera has now put on weight to make him a somewhat immobile third baseman. Again, Cabrera is my choice for starting third baseman because of his bat.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Wow! Wow! Wow! Where to begin?!? The power of Rangers fans have completely been in charge of this season’s All Star ballots. Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre has a surprisingly high lead on Cabrera (292,499 votes). Like the two previous cases, Beltre’s lead will most likely sustain a charge by Cabrera fans.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Adrian Beltre, Miguel Cabrera, Evan Longoria, Alex Rodriguez and Mike Moustakas are amongst the top 5 leading vote-getters and yet there is NO Mark TrumBro. TrumBro took over at first baseball and had a terrific rookie campaign slugging 29 homeruns and driving in 87 RBIs in the absence of Kendrys Morales. With Morales back and the acquisition of Albert Pujols, TrumBro was then moved to third base. For some reason, Manager Mike Scioscia did not allow TrumBro play every day. TrumBro is now able to play every day and it is now paying off for the Halos who have been patient. Technically, Trumbo is still eligible for the starting 3B in the MLB Star Game. His numbers hold their own up against the rest of the 3<sup>rd</sup> base candidates.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Before the hamstring injury that landed Rays star 3<sup>rd</sup> baseman Even Longoria onto the Disabled List since May 1st, he was having himself a nice start to the 2012 season. While his first month numbers are impressive, a third place in voting seems too high for a player who has played too little. Keep in mind that a player like Mark TrumBro does not rank into the Top 5 and Top 15 vote-getters at 1<sup>st</sup> base and in the outfield.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">Statistics Entering June 6<sup>th</sup>:</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Miguel Cabrera</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">55 GP .321 Batting Average <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>72 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>31 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>11 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>45 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>18 BBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.913 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Mark Trumbo</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">48 GP .337 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>59 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>25 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>12 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>31 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>13 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>1.016 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Adrian Beltre</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">52 GP .307 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>62 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>29 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>22 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>10 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>35 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>9 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.848 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Evan Longoria (On the DL since May 1<sup>st</sup>)</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">22 GP .329 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>15 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>11 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>4 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>19 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>15 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.994 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b>SHORTSTOP</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">New York Yankees SS Derek Jeter</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Surprised?

Has he ever been voted as an All Star starter in the past when another player deserves it more? Sure, but not this season. Jeter has surpassed almost all expectations from a 37 year old SS, except his own of course.

Honestly, Baltimore Oriole’s SS J.J. Hardy has been just as Andrus on a team with not as much known talent as Texas. Hardy is also a great defensive SS. His .992 Fielding Percentage tops both Jeter’s .984 and Andrus’ .970 percentages. He’s also hammered more HRs than Jeter and Andrus combined. Where Andrus and Jeter have Hardy beat is the batting average. Jeter’s average is .059 points higher than Hardy’s average and Andrus’ average is .039 points higher than Hardy’s. Jeter has held his own in the power department, so his batting average helps him top Hardy, but does Andrus’ batting average, OBP and runs top Hardy’s 10 HRs? Yes. Hardy’s HRs are far superior than Andrus’ HR total, but Andrus surprisingly has more RBIs than Hardy. Throw in the fact that Andrus has gotten on base more than Hardy (hits, walks, HBP, etc.).</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>In the voting, Jeter has an insurmountable lead on both Andrus and Hardy.

Pierzynski is not the most popular player, he may even be the least liked player in the MLB, but one cannot ignore the kind of numbers Pierzynski has produced: Highest batting average, most RBIs, 2<sup>nd</sup> in hits, and 2<sup>nd</sup> in HRs amongst AL catchers.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>The theme of Texas Rangers leading vote-getters continues.

Maybe, we’ll get to that later. In 54 games this season, he has already tied the amount of HRs he hit all of last season in 134 games. His bat has been a pleasant surprise for Blue Jays fans everywhere, but they will not be too pleased with Encarnacion being 5<sup>th</sup> place in the DH voting.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>While Encarnacion is out there raking up North, one cannot overlook what Big Papi has been doing for the Red Sox. David Ortiz is having himself a nice season. He’s putting up All Star numbers, but I do feel that Encarnacion’s numbers have his numbers beat. Ortiz has a higher batting average, but Encarnacion has more HRs and RBIs.</p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Texas fan favorite, Michael Young, is currently in second place and is having a “down” year for Michael Young standards. Young, who has been one of the most consistent hitters in all of baseball the last decade, is currently hitting under .300. Something that is rare for us to see. There is still a lot of season left, so Young can reach his usual .300 average. As of right now, Young is not deserving of an All Star roster spot as a DH this season. Hit numbers aren’t bad, but his numbers aren’t what you’d look for/want from a DH.</p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Raul Ibanez is in 3<sup>rd</sup> place and is having a productive season with limited playing time, but most of the votes is because of the fact he plays for the Yankees. A player I’d like to see make the roster would be Kansas City DH Billy Butler. Butler has had a productive season and it would be great to see him play in front of his home crowd. Butler has carried the Royal’s offense on his back. While young studs Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer (both on my Fantasy Team) have underperformed (understatement), Butler has been the main source of offense.</p> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Lastly, time to talk about Adam Dunn. Adam Dunn? That’s right. The Big Donkey looks like his old self at the plate and is back to hitting HRs. After his terrible terrible 2011 season, many people thought he was “done.” Pun intended. This season, his batting average is low, but it’s definitely much higher than his average last season. He has already surpassed his 2011 HR total and is only 3 RBIs away from tying his 2011 total. His 18 HRs is second in all of baseball and that is something to note. Is Dunn’s production the biggest surprise in the AL? I say “NO.” I really cannot explain what happened to him last season, but he’s back and that’s all the Chicago White Sox care about. Dunn’s biggest improvement is his pitch selection. Yes, he’s struck out too many times, but he’s also walked an eye popping 47 times.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">Statistics Entering June 7<sup>th</sup>:</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Edwin Encarnacion</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">54 GP .279 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>57 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>30 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>17 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>43 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>20 BB<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.926 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">David Ortiz</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">56 GP .310 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>65 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>38 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>31 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>13 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>37 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>28 BB<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.970 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Adam Dunn</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">56 GP .219 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>43 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>34 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>28 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>18 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>39 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>47 BB<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.917 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Billy Butler</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">55 GP .296 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>63 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>23 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>23 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>11 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>35 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>15 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.862 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Raul Ibanez</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">45 GP .250 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>38 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>18 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>19 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>9 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>29 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>11 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.805 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Michael Young</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">55 GP .288 Batting Average<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>66 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>25 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>14 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>3 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>24 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>9 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.694 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b>OUTFIELDERS</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Texas Rangers OF Josh Hamilton</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Baltimore Oriole’s OF Adam Jones</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 1B, 3B, OF Mark TrumBro</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Hamilton and Jones both play CF for their respected clubs, but this shouldn’t be a problem for the All Star Game. I don’t think I need to plead my case for these two players, but some people may have a problem with Trumbro starting over Granderson and Nelson Cruz. While some scratch their heards, I know that there isn’t a fan who thinks that Hamilton, the AL MVP favorite thus far, should not start. So far, Hamilton’s 2,587,991 votes (Most votes in the MLB), solidifies his starting spot. His starting spot isn’t the only outfield position that is a lock. Curtis Granderson has well over one million votes and he will continue to receive votes from the Yankees faithful. To me, Adam Jones should be a lock to start as well, but he currently ranks 5<sup>th</sup> in the voting so far. I will go out and say that Jones should have more votes than Granderson.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Nelson Cruz ranks third in the voting. Really, Bro? Nothing against Cruz, but how does he deserve to start or even make the All Star roster? Unless Cruz borrows Josh Hamilton’s bat or hits like he did in the 2011 ALCS, I don’t see him putting up All Star numbers at the Midsummer Classic. I do see that he’s driven in an impressive amount of runs, but nothing else stands out. Jose Bautista is currently about 60,000 votes behind Cruz and I do not have a problem with him starting because he has put up respectable power numbers that pushes his numbers higher than Cruz’s.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Going out on a limb, Alejandro De Aza and Mike Trout deserve some recognition because they’ve out up All Star numbers. Though it will not happen, De Aza and Trout’s numbers are arguably better than Bautista and Cruz’s numbers. De Aza is a Top 10 outfielder in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball Rankings and the 4<sup>th</sup> ranked AL outfielder. Trout barely ranks outside the Top 10, but ranks higher than Baustista and definitely higher than Cruz, who is the 29<sup>th</sup> best outfielder.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Let’s not forget about Mark TrumBro. Mr. Versatility can play 1<sup>st</sup> base, 3<sup>rd</sup> base and has played 31 games in the outfield. If he’s not going to start at 3<sup>rd</sup>, why can’t he start in the outfield? His production has been such a pleasant surprise that I’m writing about him in two different positions. If he does not find a starting spot or if he’s not voted in by the fans, then I hope he’s picked by the Managers.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">Statistics entering June 11<sup>th:</sup></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Josh Hamilton</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">57 GP .338 Avg. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>75 Hits <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>42 Runs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>36 xHits <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>22 HRs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>61 RBIs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>25 BBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>6 SBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>1.097 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Adam Jones</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">60 GP .300 Avg.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>73 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>42 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>29 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>17 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>37 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>13 BBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>9 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.913 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Mark Trumbo</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">52 GP .326 Avg.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>62 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>28 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>29 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>14 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>39 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>16 BBs 4 SBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>1.011 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Curtis Granderson</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">59 GP .351 Avg.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>58 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>43 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>26 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>18 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>34 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>32 BBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>3 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.869 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Alejandro De Aza</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">59 GP .307 Avg.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>71 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>43 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>17 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>4 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>27 BBs 13 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.814 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Mike Trout</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">39 GP .350 Avg.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>55 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>33 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>18 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>5 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>24 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>15 BBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>13 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.955 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Jose Baustista</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">60 GP .230 Avg.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>51 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>38 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>24 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>17 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>44 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>35 BBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>3 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.828 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Nelson Cruz</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">60 GP .261 Avg.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>60 Hits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>34 Runs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>23 xHits<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>8 HRs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>36 RBIs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>16 BBs <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>4 SBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>.745 OPS</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">PITCHER</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Chicago White Sox SP Chris Sale</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>The most dominant pitcher in the American League thus far is…. Justin Verlander, right? How can it not be the 2011 AL Cy Young and MVP winner? I will do my bet to show you how this long and lean frame 2010 1<sup>st</sup> round pick deserves to start in the All Star Game. The 6’6 180 lbs. LHP is the number one fantasy pitcher as of right now. While he hasn’t pitched as many innings or struck out as many batters as Verlander, Sale has held his own on the mound. His 9.2 strike out per nine innings is slightly higher than Verlander’s 9.1. that stat doesn’t really say much, but the fact that Sale has yet to allow more than 3 earned runs in any of his 11 starts so far. You can take that even further and say that Sale has yet to allow more than 3 runs, earned or unearned, in general. Though only through 11 starts, yet it is still impressive for someone who is starting for the first time in the MLB after coming out of the bullpen the past one and a half seasons.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>The Rangers haven’t been winning at the same pace that they were in the beginning of the season. I know you cannot point the finger at one specific thing, but you can ponder what the Rangers pitching staff would look like if they still had C.J. Wilson. Yu Darvish, the phenom from Japan, is in his first season pitching against MLB hitters and will need time to adjust. I was never really sold on Derek Holland being their “ace.” I was surprised that Nolan Ryan and company allowed Wilson to sign with division rival the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. There was some “beef” between Wilson and some of the other Rangers players, Mike Napoli in particular, but there is no question the Rangers are missing this 7 game winner who 15+ games for them the past two seasons. Brandon has put up and impressive Sub-3.00 ERA despite being somewhat inconsistent. Blue Jays fans don’t know which Morrow they will get from start to start. One game Morrow will look unhittable, his Major League leading three shutouts are a result from this, and then he’ll allow 6 earned runs which has happened in three separate starts. In a game which he only recorded two outs in the first inning, he still managed to allow 6 earned runs against the Texas Rangers.</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">Statistics entering June 11<sup>th:</sup></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Chris Sale</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">11 GS 74.2 Innings Pitched<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>8 Wins 2 Losses<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>76 Ks 18 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>2.05 ERA<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>0.92 WHIP<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>4.22 K/BB</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Justin Verlander</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">13 GS 93.2 Innings Pitched<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>5 Wins 4 Losses<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>95 Ks 23 BBs<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>2.69 ERA<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>1.00 WHIP<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>4.13 K/BB</p> <p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">C.J.

I don’t think there is any human on this planet that isn’t subject to fallibility. Everyone makes mistakes, no? When you’re at the grocery store and there is a miss-scan on an item, you don’t throw your arms up in disbelief and demand the manager. Well, unless you’re quite particular about your checkout time and a freakin nut. But most of us would just dismiss it and go on about our days and never think about it again. Granted, some mistakes are more heavily weighed than others, and make a much bigger impact than others. But, unless someone died as a result of one’s mistake, there is usually no need to throw a fit. They are, after all, unintentional. Mistakes are natural and contingent on the context. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> Now, sports fans are notorious for their outrageous behavior. Hell, humans in general are notorious for not being the most rational animals at times –and yes, we are animals and subject to our instincts, but that’s another rant altogether. We do dumb things sometimes! Now, you combine our human nature which has its flaws – or rather, they are flaws depending on the environment, and you take a social media apparatus such as Facebook, or Twitter, and you get a sometimes nasty concoction that will make many cringe at the first sight of these ugly pixelations. Let me make this next statement as blatant as possible; PEOPLE WHO THREATEN ATHLETES FOR THEIR ON-THE-FIELD MISTAKES NEED TO…WAIT FOR IT…BRO THE FUCK UP!!! Do you not have anything better to do? You see, it used to be that these idiots would just sit at home or on a bar stool, probably wishing they could be professional athletes and say these things. But thanks to these social media outputs they now have a large platform on which to say these things and reach large populations. They could even reach the person themselves!!! Lets say that you work in some office and you lose some paperwork. Sure, you messed up, but do you think that you should be subject to threats? I don’t think so. A critique is far different from a threat.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> It seems that fans are taking his mistakes out of their context. It seems as though these so fundamentally flawed individuals have posited this event in to the context where an individual’s malicious intentions lead to another’s death. This context is, however, false. The correct context would be one in which there is a sporting event, a fairly important event that will determine the advancement of one team over another. And even with the proper intentionality, one member commits an unfortunate error. By reading this, one could see that this should hardly warrant any kind of threats. In its context it’s nothing more than an error that deserves criticism. Taken in the correct context it should cause the correct reaction. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Did Kyle Williams commit an error? Yes. Did these errors warrant the threats he’s been receiving? HELL NO!!! He made some mistakes, but none that should justify this stupidity. I’m sure I’m not saying anything that he, anyone in the organization or anyone who thinks rationally doesn’t know. This article ought to be read by fans. Stupid, flawed, ignorant fans. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

SHELDEN WILLIAMS.....You are stuck in the ugly sister state of New York, New Jersey, waiting for the opportunity that left you once you were traded away from the center-depleted <span style="color: orange;">New York Knicks</span> to Denver. The only thing you do have going for you in this horrible season where you average 3.2 ppg, 3.0 rebounds/game, and shooting a measly 27.3% from the field, is that you have Candace Parker locked down.<span style="color: red;"> Hopefully she did not make you sign a pre-nup! </span><br />

Before we start, Los TeBros would really like to read your opinions on this topic in the comment section below because we know there are arguments for both sides. Thank you. Also, if anybody wants to request an article feel free to submit them on out Facebook Page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Los-TeBros/211318915615723?sk=wall" style="color: cyan;">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Los-TeBros/211318915615723?sk=wall</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Only a selected few each year are chosen to play and represent the name of being a U.S. Army All American. Some of the best NCAA and NFL players have played in this game and showcased their talents, so these players should feel proud, but humble at the same time. Every sport at any level, there are going to be egotistical players who think that they are above their peers, but Los TeBros were shocked to hear that quite a few of these All Americans were unhappy with something petty. </span><br />

<tr style="color: #b45f06;"><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Adrian Peterson & Reggie Bush were just two of many great players to play in this Bowl Game.</td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
<a name='more'></a> <span style="color: #666666;">They weren't upset about about starting in the Bowl game or anything of that matter, but instead, they were upset about the numbers on the back of their jerseys. Los TeBros understands that not all of these players were upset and we know from our experiences as players that we do have favorite numbers, but why start all of this commotion about a number when you have a golden opportunity to showcase your talents. They can't wear a different number for ONE game? <span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Really, Bro?</span> This Bowl Game is very important, but I'm pretty sure scouts could care less what number the players wear as long as they play well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Some players like the #9 ranked CB in the nation, Kevon Seymour, were upset about the jersey number. He received #41 instead of the highly sought after #1. Seymour, who has yet to commit to any school, admitted that the availability of the #1 may dictate his decision. <span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Really, Bro?</span> I guess the power is all in the number. I guess Seymour cannot play effectively if he cannot wear #1.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Mike Davis, the #6 ranked RB, was so upset about not receiving #28 he had to be given a new number. He doesn't even have a name on the back of his new #14 jersey.</span> <span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Really, Bro?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">These players may be very good players, but they need to change their attitudes. Los TeBros cannot understand their resistance to play ONE game in a jersey with a different number. From experience, I never cared looked at my own jersey nor my number. Why can't these players just play the game? Why make such a big deal.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: yellow;">Bowl Official John Schmid said the following:</div><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #666666;">"</span> What are we going to do? We've got 35 kids </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;"> who want a single-digit number, and we've </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;"> only got nine. <span style="color: #666666;">"</span></span></i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #666666;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tracy Howard, the #1 CB in the nation, stated the following:</span></span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />
</div><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;"> " <span style="color: white;">That's ignorant. Why would </span></span><span style="color: white;">Why woul</span><span style="color: white;">d you think you could just</span></span></i><br />
<div style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"> <span style="color: white;">get any number you wanted? I don't think anyone is going to</span></span></span></i></div><div style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"> <span style="color: white;">outwork me, but at the same time, if guys have been in the </span></span></span></i></div><div style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"> <span style="color: white;">system and are doing the work, they get the number. You get a</span></span></span></i></div><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;"> number, work hard and then you'll get what you want.</span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span><span style="color: #666666;">"</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well said, Mr. Howard. Los TeBros applaud your act of BROfessionalism</span>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">As for Seymour, Davis & the rest of the players who made a big deal, you guys get a <span style="color: white; font-size: x-large;">Really, Bro?</span> Not only that, but also a <span style="color: white; font-size: x-large;">BRO the F*ck Up!</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />

Should there be duplicate numbers for this Bowl Game? Or should these players suck it up and play the ONE game with an unfamiliar number? Leave us your thoughts in the comment section below.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: lime;">Also, when these players reach college it's going to get worse.

<div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are 1-2 after picking up their first win of the season after defeating the Utah Jazz in a convincing 96-71 fashion. On Christmas Day, the Lakers lost the first game of the season after Kobe turned the ball over and Chicago Bulls PG Derrick Rose hit the game winning shot with 4.8 seconds left. The second loss, the day after, was horrific for Lakers fans. The 100-91 loss to the Sacramento Kings sent most Lakers fans into panic mode.</div><br />

<a name='more'></a> <span style="color: #666666;">What's wrong with the Black Mamba? Mid-December, almost a week before the regular season started, Vanessa Bryant (Kobe's soon to be Ex-Wife) filed for divorce. What made matters worse was the fact that days before the season started, Bryant had a torn ligament in his wrist. Numerous fans and and analysts predicted that the Lakers star would struggle with these two factors working against him, but Kobe isn't letting the divorce and wrist injury stop him.</span><br />

His performance on this track flies high just like Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan and might be the anthem of the winter.

This man is beasting and is willing his team to as close to victories as he can. Give Mike Brown credit for his defensive scheme on Al Jefferson tonight. Jefferson had no answer, going 2-16 from the field with a +/- of -22 in tonight's game. </span><br />

Fellow TeBros, these two teams accomplished things have yet to be done this season. The Chiefs beat the unbeaten and the Colts won to prevent from having the all-beaten season. The Chiefs did so under the new intermittent head coach Romeo Crennel. He said to the Packers, "Really Bro, you thought you could beat me?"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aolnews.com/media/2008/11/romeo-crennel-111208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aolnews.com/media/2008/11/romeo-crennel-111208.jpg" /></a></div><br />
In the defeat, the Packers lost two of their O-linemen to injury, so the Chiefs may have done more damage than just ruining the "perfect" season.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The Colts brought some Huskie Pride to the table, with Dan Orlovsky manning<span style="color: #bf9000;">(hah)</span> the offense with Donald Brown bursting out of the backfield. The Colts said bye-bye-bye to the imperfect season with a win against the Tennessee Titans<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/images/otrc/2010/photos/timberlake_bye_bye_bye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/images/otrc/2010/photos/timberlake_bye_bye_bye.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div> This week's Los TeBros BROment of the Week is as close to a bro a machine can be. This man has drive, determination and physicality of a man. His name is <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">Calvin "Megatron" Johnson</span>.</span><br />

</div> Megatron went hard with 214 yds and 2 TDs, including the game winning touchdown with 39 seconds left. Of the 98 yards on the final drive to score, Johnson accounted for 75 receiving yards and an additional 17 yards on a pass interference call. Johnson's 214 yards is third most in Lions history.

<div style="color: #666666;"> Late in Monday Night's game the Steelers were down 20-3 and already injured two-time Super Bowl winning QB Ben Roethlisberger was still under center as they started the drive at their own 14 yard-line. Roethlisberger, who suffered a high ankle sprain the previous game, had a hard time walking/moving and even standing up on one leg, had no reason to remain in the game. Yes, the Steelers blew a HUGE opportunity to claim the top spot in the AFC North and top seed in the AFC in overall, but since Ben was taking hits all game and the Steelers offense wasn't moving against a stingy 49ers defense, Roethlisberger should have been pulled.</div><br />

Steelers 6'8 345 lbs. LT Max Starks, who has been praised for rejuvenating the team since re-signing October 5th, was no match for the 6'4 258 lbs. rookie OLB out of Missouri. The number seven overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft bull rushed continuously and gave Roethlisberger zero time in the pocket. Even on plays that didn't result in sacks, Steelers fans continued to see their QB get up in pain after taking hits from Smith. Smith finished the night with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble deep in Steelers territory that ultimately put the game out of reach. Smith even had a sack wiped away after one of his teammates was penalized for holding. Even though a sack wasn't added to the stat sheet and the Steelers got a new set of downs, Roethlisberger was still knocked to the ground and felt the pain.</div><br />

<div style="color: #666666;"> With an injured QB, the Steelers offensive line needed to step up, but they failed to do so and that results in a <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;">Really, Bro?</span> </span>Yes, the Steelers were without Pro Bowl second year Center Maurkice Pouncey, but this performance was still inexcusable. It was obvious that the line could not give the hobbling Roethlisberger any time in the pocket, so why was he still in the game? Los TeBros have no idea. Only thing that can be said/asked is<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> <span style="color: white;">Really, Bro?</span></b></span></div><br />
Your starting QB, who is injured, should not remain in the game when the game is out of reach and continue to take these kind of hits (see above). Whether it was Head Coach Mike Tomlin's decision, Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians or even Roethlisberger himself; whoever it was, they deserve a <span style="color: white;">Really, Bro?</span> While the defense remains as one of the top tier defenses in the league, the usually run heavy Steelers offense has advanced into a pass first team. The offense revolves around #7 and they cannot risk to further injure his ankle.</div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> If it was Roethlisberger's decision himself, he needs to realize that once this must-win game was out of reach, he needs to sit back and rest his ankle, especially with a short week coming up (Saturday game-Christmas Sunday). Los TeBros understand that Roethlisberger wanted to win this game to grab hold of the number one seed in the AFC. In doing so, he took some unnecessary hits and the Steelers still dropped to the number 5 seed after their loss to the 49ers.</div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> While the Steelers offensive line looked terrible, Los TeBros must give credit to the 49ers. They simply outplayed the Steelers after Roethlisberger thew that interception in the endzone on the first drive of the game.</div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> Like Los TeBros mentioned before, Roethlisberger is the centerpiece to this offense and they need him to be healthy enough to play efficiently.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/02/02/sports/02super.xlarge3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/02/02/sports/02super.xlarge3.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; text-align: left;"> If the Steelers want to have any chance at winning Super Bowl number seven, they will need to keep #7's jersey clean and do whatever they have to do to not appear on a Really, Bro? again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">I'll start by saying "No," this is not about his performance for my fantasy football team. I'm pretty happy about the big night he had tonight (even though he was on my bench), but that's not the point. Also, this "Really, Bro?" isn't going to be like the previous ones. Instead, this one was a complete surprise to Los TeBros.</span><br />
<div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> Actually, on second thought, maybe it is relevant to a certain extent. It's pretty obvious that Phillip Rivers has not performed the way he usually has in previous seasons. His 4,015 passing yards and 23 touchdowns are still impressive, but when I've watched him earlier in the season it looked like there was something physiologically wrong with him. He's turned the ball over more through 14 games than he has in any of his previous seven seasons with a total of 22 turnovers (17 interceptions, 5 fumbles lost).</div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGw6A9UBe943qmTdgu-Jh_5plLebOtPEdVV_qty36cuB31fDb7-m77haRboSwg0L6Q84Ep0u_liOeofMKoR6Rdq4v4sebHzGKg65TglCee9NHv90S0zPRhleyEz_Uwvwblh7ClQuLvjfg/s400/capt_fc784110753e432b8cee798d93f232ef_chargers_steelers_football_paks101.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGw6A9UBe943qmTdgu-Jh_5plLebOtPEdVV_qty36cuB31fDb7-m77haRboSwg0L6Q84Ep0u_liOeofMKoR6Rdq4v4sebHzGKg65TglCee9NHv90S0zPRhleyEz_Uwvwblh7ClQuLvjfg/s400/capt_fc784110753e432b8cee798d93f232ef_chargers_steelers_football_paks101.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> What's wrong with him? Terrible offensive line? Injuries to his top targets? Defense placing too much pressure on his shoulders?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> While you can make an argument for each of these reasons, there is another thing Los TeBros found out. But before we talk about it, allow me to ask this question: How many kids does Philip rivers have? <span style="font-size: large;"><strike style="color: red;">Zero</strike><span style="color: red;"> </span><strike style="color: red;">One</strike><span style="color: red;"> </span><strike style="color: red;">Two</strike><span style="color: red;"> </span><strike style="color: red;">Three</strike></span> Answer: <b style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">SIX </span></b></div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"></div><div style="color: #666666;"> That's right, six! Philip Rivers has six kids. Really, Bro? Like I wrote before, Los TeBros are not questioning an act of a "non-Bro-like" moment. We are just asking what all of you are thinking. Los TeBros have nothing against having a lot of children, we are just surprised that Philip Rivers has this many kids. Maybe he was trying compete with former teammate, now Jets CB Antonio Cromartie:</div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZpSwaVclOgU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Really Bro? </span> <span style="color: #b45f06;">Rivers has some catching up to do on the field (and in the bedroom)</span></div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> All jokes aside, fathering six kids must be a hassle and exhausting. He's playing very well right, like he always does this time of the year (career 23-2 record in December). He's adjusted perfectly. While his wife was pregnant and he threw 6 touchdowns/7 interceptions through his first 5 games. It's reasonable for him to be worrying about her and wanting to be by her side. Maybe that had something to do with his performance. </div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> Los TeBros along with many others thought Rivers would pick it up after the birth of his daughter (Los TeBros didn't know it was his sixth at the time). The opposite happened. He threw for a lot of yards the next five games, but he threw 10 interceptions compared to just 9 touchdowns. To make things worse, the Chargers were 0-5 through that span.</div><div style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #666666;"> Rivers has looked much better the last three weeks and needs a strong finish and a Broncos collapse to have a shot at playoffs. Chargers must win out, so Rivers better watch out for Ndamukong Suh and the Detroit Lions.</div><br />

Including your prorated signing bonus for 2011, other bonuses and base salary, you are scheduled to make $1,528,333 in 2011 and you are looking to delve into the illegal drug world? With all that money, you couldn't even hire an assistant to do your dirty work? <span style="color: #cc0000;">Not smart bro</span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> Roger Goodell and other NFL executives are going to have to consider who his target market was with these planned drugged purchases . Was he planning on selling it to his fellow co-workers in the NFL? Or supplying large drug cartels in the Greater Chicago Area? Even if his intentions were to just sell to a few dealers, I think this should be punishable to the fullest extent league officials can. Drug trade supplies gangs with leverage and allows them to remain sustainable. There are often violent exchanges between drug suppliers and drug purchasers, because the exchanges are not protected by the law. <span style="color: #f1c232;"><u>We don't want to endanger our fellow bros do we</u>?</span><br />
<br />
Way to throw away you NFL career, Sam. Your talent level never separated you from the rest of the pool, like Vick or Burress, so I don't expect to see you back in the NFL after the federal court processes this case. At least you get to stay in your home state of Texas, bro.Vegi Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10334800932113318357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272093660759882030.post-44059373075817096692011-12-15T15:17:00.000-08:002011-12-29T13:07:06.566-08:00Really, Bro? #8<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Indonesia's Ban on the "Punk" Look</span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: red;"><u><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">WARNING</span></b></u><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">:</span></b><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Viewer's Discretion is Advised</span></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="color: #666666;">When the most worrisome demographic of any region is that of a sub-punk culture, you know there are going to be bro-codes broken. Now, when a person’s hair is thrown into the debate, hahaha we are really going to have a problem. Apparently some Indonesians are annoyed with the punk culture enough to conduct a raid on a punk show sweeping kids away for some moral cleansing! Yea!!! Let the spiritual healing begin! Wait, last time I checked, I don’t think that there is anything that necessarily connects one’s musical preference to their moral standing. In fact, one would say that to be taken into bondage by a preference may hold some correlation to one’s naivety or feeblemindedness. Kids committing crimes on the grounds of their connection and bondage to a work of art would be a sign of their naivety. And at this show, no one was arrested or charged any criminal counts for breaking a law. Hey, you know what also is a sign of feeblemindedness? Taking fucking kids away, cutting their hair, and trying to “educate” them on morals- all on the grounds that punk culture is immoral. Those aren’t fucking determinable grounds at all! Well fuck you bro, you can’t do that!!! This was a completely unbro-like moment for Indonesia.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666;"><br />
<a name='more'></a> The only problem here is that, well yea, technically they can do this sort of thing. They just risk looking like huge assholes in the process- a caveat that they apparently don’t mind. Aceh, Indonesia, unfortunately is a beneficiary of some autonomy from the central government of Indonesia. Though Indonesia is a Muslim nation, it is much more moderate than other Muslim cultures. Many other regions in Indonesia don’t force women to wear headscarves nor have strict laws on what one could do in public or how they conduct their personal life. Aceh, however, does have these strict laws. Or so they want to think. I believe they somewhat enforce “laws”- certainly unbro-like laws, such as no alcoholic beverages, no kissing in public (whaaaaaaaa), no homosexuality, all what they see as immoral actions. Huh? Alright guys, let’s all do what’s contrary to our nature and stop kissing and getting drunk! NOT! This is an abomination. Man, and I talk about this fascist pig nation America as if it’s the worst (debatable). No kissing in public, what are the negative implications with that? Really bro? Give me a break!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666;"> Ok, enough history, lets get back to these punks. Officials stated that no one was being held on any criminal charges. Hummmm, this sounds fishy to me. No criminal charges= no justification to kidnap any of these individuals. Because that is what it was, a kidnapping. Hell, if they were committing crimes take them away and by all means and lock them up! But none of this moral cleansing bullshit. Are you kidding me? They didn’t do shit! Someone having long hair or obtrusive clothing is that aggravating to you? If it is I would suggest getting a fucking life and living it. Stop trying to control others! ''We're not violating human rights. We're just trying to put them back on the right moral path.'' Really, you don’t think that cutting someone’s hair violates an individuals right to their own person? I think you should be the one subjected to going back to school for a re-education and learn what the word ‘violation’ means. If an individual walks down the street with a gun shooting people in the face, then I would say that it is a danger and this crazy person needs to be put away. If an individual walks down the street with tall spiked hair, combat boots, and loud clothes, I would say that that person must be into that sort of fashion. And if an individual walks into a punk show to collect immoral beings on account of their style of dress, and musical choice, and how they find it immoral, then I would say that that person needs to BRO THE FUCK UP and find life outside of their ignorance. The world is bigger than you, bro! You are too encapsulated by your ignorance. Just, bro the fuck up, please.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="color: #666666;"> Society always finds a way to create a group of outcasts and it may be inherently so that we do this. That is, it may just be our innate nature as Humans to always create groups and attempt to rigidly categorize individuals by them without noticing this false dichotomy it creates. Hence, why people are racist. This ignorance, unfortunately rampant and rapacious through a society’s norms only works to destroy individuals who can no further implicate upon another being positively or negatively. It’s the destruction of the individual and the production and reproduction of originality. It works contrary to our nature, and it rationally and logically follows that what so ever works contrary to our nature as humans, shall normatively be deemed negative. Society lives so closely to its norms, as if it were this almighty power that immutably restricts us. The best part of this is that society forgets that they are also responsible for the <span style="font-size: small;">production </span>of these norms. Hell, it’s like Wikipedia- we can all edit it!!! Woohooo!!!This isn’t however, a justification, just an explanation. And the quicker we learn to delineate between the two, the quicker we can fix societal issues and recognize problems. I shall now delve into an interpretation of Islamic thought and establish a…haha naww. I won’t do that. This is the (aki)Bert man, and I leave you with this: REALLY BRO?</div><br />

<br />
You think a non-lottery pick (barring any surprises this season from the Mavs) is what the league wanted for Chris Paul or the Magic wanted for Dwight? <br />
<br />
The acting owner/GM/Rule Maker of the Hornets David Stern and David Stern's pawn Dell Demps (so-called GM) and Magic GM Otis Smith said <span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>REALLY BRO?????</i> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Today, Chris Paul was traded to the Clippers and the Magic announced that they will continue on without trading Dwight for the time being. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
There are reports that Lamar Odom requested a trade after hearing his name in rumors.<span style="color: #cc0000;"> REALLY BRO???</span> After the Lakers gave you these great opportunities the past 7 years. Your family and TV show are both located in LA. Take it in stride and if you were as loyal to this team, you wouldn't take offense to working out a trade that would have sent you out for the best PG since Magic Johnson. <br />
<br />
Now the Clippers are top 4 contenders in the West and the Lakers are left trying to figure out what to do with an $8.9 million trade exemption, and a void to fill after losing the 6th man of the year and a versatile player. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">The Los TeBros are really confused on all ends on how this transpired. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">You feel that deep, cold feeling in your heart? That's the emptiness of not watching a new episode of How I Met Your Mother last night. Los TeBros, like millions of others, set a special BROment aside to watch HIMYM at 8:00 pm every Monday evening. As to our surprise, HIMYM's Facebook page posted,</span><br />
<br />
