7 Baseball Sites As Written by VEB'ers
So, as always, I woke up today, walked over to my desk and turned my computer on. I started my usual journey of internet scouring, trying to find something to break the monotony of the week.
And the first thing I glanced upon was Twitter. LaRussa had just tweeted something... rather disturbing. Yeah, I know, I couldn't believe it either:
Original Site: http://twitter.com/#!/TonyLaRussa
I assumed I was still drowzy from the little sleep I got, so decided to carry on and check out the beloved P-D. I stumled upon this unread article from earlier this month. Seems like Brendan was traded for annoying fellow players. I just never thought Holliday would be so blatant about it:

I went over to the Cardinals Home Page and see if I could fint that story somewhere else. So, I looked up any article that included swear words, and came upon this:
Original Story: Here
When I am done venturing the Cardinals Home Page, I tend to go over to MLB.com. So, naturally, I did that and was suprised to see this on the home page:
Original: Today's www.mlb.com homepage
I went ahead and clicked on the "$$$" team, below the AL East Division to see what the Yankees were up to. And then, I was amazed at the following story: (BTW, if I mock Latinos, it's not racist. It's the one thing we can do, besides mow your lawn and raise your kids: Mock ourselves)
Original: Here
I went over here to VEB to read today's post and share some of the amazing articles and tweets I had found. However, I was distracted by this completely agreeable and reasonable fanpost. Never has DanUp made so much sense:
Original: Today's www.vivaelbirdos.com Home Page.
I had an assignment for a University class so I had to log on to CNN and read an article. Instead, I found what might be the greates book ever... (So I decided to make my first mysterui's mom joke. I realize it's a bit uncalled for. But, I guess "when you're in Rome..." Also, apologies on the typos)
Original: Today's CNN Home Page
I realized this was an odd day, as if it was written by Viva El Birdos regulars, and it was probably never going to repeat itself. So I took a picture of each and every one of the articles I read and decided to share with you. I am sure you will be as apalled as I am.
(NOTE: This was actually made with a firefox add-on I recently learned how to use. I guess I decided to have a little fun with it and create this fanpost. If you want to try it, and freak the hell out of people you know, it is called firebug and it's very simple and easy to use. I hope I made you laugh with this, because I certainly had fun doing it.)
EDIT: The third paragraph in the Cashman article was modified. I don't know how that slipped by me.

My great wit allows me to interject that by assuming the partakers of this conversation are inbedded and perhaps romantically entangled, rather than indeed, the truthful observation that they are both platonic and standing upright. Great comedy may be produced!! -Aranathor
Good stuff.

Scary and hilarious at the same time

btw, remember that VERY REAL headline from last season that lasted an entire 35 minutes?

That was hilarious.
I remember reading that headline 5 times to make sure it really said what it said
I need signature suggestions. The Boog and the Walrus have both departed. And it's not funny anymore... sniff
nonsense
So I decided to make my first mysterui’s mom joke. I realize it’s a bit uncalled for
they are always uncalled for which basically means they are always called for. Also, it’s always OT, irrelevant, and mysterui and his mom never have it coming. Meaning of course they are always on topic, relevant, and they had it coming every fucking time.
And yes, do not dispute my “everybody’s rich so nobody’s actually rich” logic. It’s science and modern art put together with a little bit of Galileo and the sex charm of Rui’s mom. The only thing that surpasses it is Amaury Cazana.
DONNIE FUCKING JONES FOR PRO BOWL!
firebug, huh?
My hat’s off to you. Nicely done.
Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left. ~Hubert Humphrey
Actually, I was thinking about doing one
but I couldn’t come up with something clever. I figure the “Albert signs 8 years, 120 Million Mexican Pesos” headline was too easy.

Dig it.

Or, you know, because he's been an autocratic dictator for 30 years
and they were using facebook to organize the protests.
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
That's friggin beautiful.
A very good use of your time, sir.

My secretary had to peek in my office to see why I was consumed by a fit of maniacal laughter.
Great job.

Is that David Eckstein taking BP behind Matt Holliday?
Could Colby Rasmus hit a ball so hard that even he couldn't catch it?
