Happy Halloween

Ok, in the sprit of Halloween, here is a strange baseball story that might even involve Roger Clemen's gold thong, if you believe in that sort of thing.

The world is full of mysteries. Like, do some of these guys like Kevin Youkilis, Jason Giambi, Todd Jones, do they really think their facial hair looks good? Like, handsome even? Can't figure that out.

Enjoy.

Big Unit Ties Rocket in K's

Arizona Diamondbacks veteran Randy Johnson struck out nine San Francisco Giants to tie Roger Clemens for second-most in career strikeouts during Thursday night's 4-3 loss, but The Big Unit doesn't think it's that impressive.

Maybe that's because he's already been second on the all-time list, but dropped back down to third with The Rocket still pitching last season

"Strikeouts don't win you ballgames," he said after the game, "I can assure you that."


Yeah, but they sure do help.

The 44-year-old lefty retired the first nine batters he faced -- five by strikeout -- before giving up a Randy Winn homer to lead off the fourth. He's fanned 19 over his last two starts for a total of 4,672 strikeouts, exiting last night's game to a standing ovation and a 3-2 lead after seven solid innings.

Johnson trails only Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan's 5,714 career punchouts.

Top Ten Possible Causes For a Fatigued Groin

For those living under a rock, the world's most noble humanitarian, eer, I mean, selfish sack of hog feces, Roger Clemens has decided he has to push his first start back with the Bronx Bums a few days due to a "fatigued right groin muscle." So ladies and germs, we at Babes Love Baseball bring you the top ten possible causes of a fatigued groin muscle.

10. Goddamn Andy Pettitte has been on the road, actually WITH HIS TEAM, and there's been no one to rub Warm Vanilla Sugar Bath and Body Works Lotion all over his hairy inner thighs that reek of a Manhattan bum in mid-July.

9. Took a spill while attempting to show LeBron James that The Rocket is God's gift to sports.

8. Took a spill when charging towards what he thought was a half-eaten cheeseburger. Turns out it was A-Rod's jockstrap.

7. Swung and missed while attempting to kick Kyle Farnsworth in the ass.

6. El Duque challenged him to a "Yoga-Off," and he had some difficulty with the Downward Dog position.

5. Attempted a Banana Split on Alex Rodriguez when laying the beat down over A-Rod's dominance of the news last week.

4. Son Kody pulled too hard during a wheelbarrow race at annual family reunion, or Rogerpaloozza.

3. Decided to do one squat for every million of his 2007 contract. Soon realized he's almost 45.

2. Slipped when "right leg on red" came up during one of his nightly games of naked Twister with Andy Pettitte.

1. Was attempting the solo version Ratipasha (look it up) to NY tabloid back pages, and audio tapes of Suzyn Waldman during his comeback announcement.
