Bucket Post

Eh, I'd try to come up with a theme for this, but it's a bucket of slop, and you and I both know it. Tuck in.

> So the Magic *did* have a reason to can Brian Hill after all -- they wanted to pay a ton of money for a college coach whose weaknesses will be magnified by the pro game, while his strengths will be negated. We take back all of those mean things we said.

Ed. Note - What's this? Billy Donovan's pulling a Kobe!

> The Red Sox and the Yankees are playing baseball. Quick, everyone, pretend the Yankees are good! Or that when Scott Procter almost hits Kevin Youkilis, it's a big story!

> Clemens isn't making his start on Monday. A 45 year old pitcher turns out to be, how shall we say, not so durable. What are the odds? Such bad luck for the Yanks this year. Near Celtic-level bad luck, really...

> The Senators came back strong in Game Three, making their Stanley Cup series a 2-1 affair. We'd say more about this, but as FTT gets more interest than the NHL these days (provided, of course, that we put the words TITTY and TORTURE PORN in the entry), we just can't take the traffic hit.

Oh, what the heck. Let's double their site traffic. Everybody get down with some BLACK METAL WEDDING TORTURE PORN!



> Finally, some nice work from Double A manager Phillip Wellman. Given the amount of attention he's going to get from this, we're wondering what the next minor league manager looking for some media play will do. We hold out hope for the Slap Shot-style stripping move.
