Week 6 Yankees at Tigers

Demented Guy With a Huge Head...Richie Corbello

Howard Stern has his wack pack and I have mine...watch a guy with the biggest head on the planet get baseballs thrown at his head, tussle with a mascot and ride a merry-go-round. Mostly just marvel at the size of his head.

Hit the triangle to play the video...

Submit a picture of someone with a bigger head and I'll send you a FOX Sports hat...for real

Richie and his boys...

Ballpark Cuisine...

Nothing says going to the ballpark to watch a game like...Sushi??? That's right sushi...at the Tiger Den in Comerica Park

But let's get real...how about a Kielbasa with peppers and onions...personally, I'm not a big fan of the neon yellow mustard but overall it was pretty solid

Accidents will happen....

Sights and Sounds...

Miguel Cabrera with some fans......Matt Joyce went into the stands to sign some autographs

Kickin' It Old School...

And of Course...

Gotta love a good fireman carry

Flat brimmed hat Joba Chamberlain style and glitter eyelashes

Not sure what is more disturbing...that this girl let Richie pick her up or that she kissed him

She was reluctant to go up but happy once she got there

Week 5 Cubs at Cardinals

 A Visit to the Anheuser Busch Brewery in St. Louis...

We went to the brewery to see why Bud tastes so good...not only did we find out the answer but we got a really cool pair of work goggles.

Hit the triangle to watch the video...

I might have glossed over the 7 steps that go into making Bud the "Great American Lager" but let's be honest - it's hard to remember everything when free samples are involved.

I do recall that they use 13 types of hops to make Bud...that's impressive if you ask me (and I am now a deputized Budweiser brewmaster).

Bottom Line - Budweiser=good

Kickin' It Old School

Fans, Fans, Fans...

Even though we were at Busch Stadium it was the Cubs fans that represented

Hit the triangle to watch the video...

 

Suprisingly, a big and enthusiastic crowd gathered when the 2 girls started fighting

Sights and Sounds...

And of Course...

She wore a FOX hat for the pick-up

A Screwballs 1st - The "Piggyback"

My New Haircut...

I got a new haircut and all my boys got the same haircut...not quite. Busy all week, I was unable to get a haircut before coming to Cleveland.

Luckily for me, 2007 A.L. Cy Young award winner and Indians' pitcher, C.C. Sabathia was there to help save the day.

While some of his Indians' teammates thought he did a good job...Tim McCarver had other ideas.

Hit the triangle to watch the video

Lucky for C.C. he pitches better than he cuts hair.

Not caught on tape: the look on Johnny Damon's face when I offered to arrange for him to get the same cut. Four Jager Bombs Chief.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE BUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Artistic shot of the week 

For my producer who begged me to stop the disgusting shots of me with food...this week I only take pictures with mascots of food - only for you Pete

Ken Rosenthal gets deep with Morgan Ensberg

Let's Go Yankees...

Possibly the only guy at Progressive Field with a worse haircut than mine...give them credit for a solid Yankees chant.

Hit the triangle to watch the video

I'll have to keep them in mind for the "Ken Rosenthal Knows it All" Remix.

And of Course...

Leftfield Pavilion is where all the pickups happen in Cleveland

Any time feet get above the head - you can consider it a solid pickup

Gotta like a girl in knee-high socks

Last week Screwballs was invited to be on "The Nightly Scoreboard," a nightly show on FOX Business Channel. Hosted by the incomprabrle David Asman, Scoreboard is one of the best hottest and most cutting edge shows out there today (at least that what their producers told us).

Hit the triangle to watch the video....

If I came off a little nervous it's because I was...but at least I wasn't in a bad suit like Fidelman...sorry Wayne.

And of Course...

If you've ever watched FOX Business Channel you will know my next pick-up...Sandra Smith

I set her up with my patened "Can we take a picture together"

And then the follow: "I think I blinked...can we take another?"

I think she was surprised

FYI - Those lines are trademarked and will be featured in my upcoming book: "How to Pick Up Women...Literally"

Behind the Scenes...

Want to have a laugh at my expense? Check out this video of me getting my make-up put on. It wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be.

Next time I think I'll request a little less foundation and maybe add some blush.

Week 3 - Mets at Phillies

Screwballs Teaches Jose Reyes a New Handshake:

 In an effort to give back to the game I take  few minutes on Friday to show my old friend, Jose Reyes, a new handshake. It is a mild shake that still packs a lot of punch.

Both Jose and I are professionals so please don't try this out at home without proper supervision. 

Hit the triangle to play the video:

I think he liked it...Don't forget to watch the Mets - Phillies game on Saturday to see if Jose uses "The Screwballs Shake."

Old School Jersies:

Ken Rosenthal Knows It All:

Question: Who is the best MLB insider in the game (and my best friend)?

Answer: Ken Rosenthal

Be the first to see the new "Ken Rosenthal Knows it All" video that's sweeping across the nation. Starring: Shane Victorino, The Phillie Phanatic, Greg Luzinksi and Ken Rosenthal.

 Check out the surprise eneding...at least it was a surprise to Ken

Hit the triangle to play the video:

Sights and Sounds:

Don't go to Citizens Bank Park and not go to Bull's BBQ - Owned by former Phillie Greg Luzinski...Not only does he have the best food at the park but he also has a great new BBQ sauce for home use - no word if Ken Rosenthal bought any.

Item eaten this week: Cheesesteak with wiz and peppers (at Pat's), cheesesteak at Tony Luke's, pulled pork sandwich at Bull's BBQ, cherry water ice.

And of Course:

Posting a Screwballs blog and not posting my pickup pics would be equivalent to Billy Joel doing a concert and not singing "Piano Man" - so this week's pickups are dedicated to you Pete.

 

Thanks to Palubinsky for letting me pickup his girlfriend (below)

One of my personal favorites of all-time

NOTE: In what my producer is convinced is the first sign of the apocalypse...I was recognized for the first time ever for my exploits on this blog...I take this opportunity to say thanks to my #1 fan

Week 2: Yankees at Red Sox

How To Wear Your Hat - The Joba Chamberlain Way:

Yankees Pitcher, and master of the flat brimmed hat, Joba Chamberlain took one look at the bent rim on FOX Sports hat and had felt the need to intervene.

Joba gives me a hands on lesson on how wear my lid. Ever the perfectionist, Joba doesn't quit until the job is done. Thanks Joba

The Boston Red Cups

I meet a lot of people on the road. Some stranger than others...but none stranger than the BOSTON RED CUPS.

Dressed up in life size Dixie Red Cups (and nothing else) they run wild around Fenway, chasing cars, supporting their Sox and harrasing any Yankee fans that dare to encroach on their turf.

These guys are out of their mind...Check out the video and see for yourself

 

Reading Is Fun With Tim McCarver and Jonathan Papelbon:

Before the game on Friday Jonathan Papelbon read through Tim McCarver's new book "Diamond Gems" while Tim McCarver read/looked at the pictures in Jonathan Papelbon's new book "Pitching With The Papelbons" - BUY THEM BOTH

 

After Tim finished. Papelbon was kind enough to read to me.

I think this might have been the 1st bedtime story ever read in the dugout at Fenway - still waiting to hear back from Guiness.

In fact the RED CUPS like "Diamond Gems" so much they made it the first book in their book club...watch the video and see for yourself...

 

Sights and Sounds...

I get Ken Rosenthal ready for his interviews and my artistic shot of the week.

A-Rod, Johnny Damon and Big Papi catch up.

The Red Cups, Red Sox Cheerleaders and a bowling pin

And of Course...

Thanks to the Joba Chamberlain, Jonathan Papelbon, Tim McCarver, the Red Sox Cheerleaders and the Boston Red Cups.

 

Week 1 - New York Mets at Atlanta Braves

Friday night's game was rained out. The tarp was on the field most of the day and not too many players were out on the field.

Due to the rain I wasn't able to give any batting tips to the Braves...sorry boys, maybe next time

What do players do when it rains? You can watch and see what Braves pitcher Tom Glavine does

I apologize for the lame music. We are experimenting with some new musical samplings and I promise better beats next week. I don't apologize for the plug of Tim's new book "Diamond Gems"

Food For Thought...

You can't go to Atlanta without going to "The Varsity" - an Atlanta institution where the counter people wear paper hats and serve up chili cheese dogs, burgers, onion rings and fries. And for dessert you have to have a frosted orange.

I personally want to thank "The Varsity" for letting me pull a shift there while I was in town and allowing me to supplement my paltry pay. I'm still wearing that paper hat.

Lenny Dykstra aka "Nails" aka "The Dude," formerly a fiery centerfielder for the Mets and Phillies, currently an investment guru and author of the financial newsletter "THE DYKSTRA REPORT" is about to launch his newest project; a magazine aimed at professional athletes, aptly named the "THE PLAYERS CLUB - Keep Living The Dream."

Below is the inaugural cover featuring Derek Jeter

While Dykstra was playing he was part of two of the most colorful clubhouses in recent memory...the 1986 New York Mets and the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies.

Each team had tons of players that were labeled anything from characters to free spirits to bad boys to outlaws to worse. Screwballs wants to find out who was the most colorful character of them all...we let you the fans decide.

It's our won version of March Madness - the 1986 Mets vs the 1993 Phillies - the candidates:

1986 Mets: Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez, Roger McDowell, Wally Backman, Nails (the NY version) and Mr. Met

1993 Phillies: Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams, John Kruk, Darren "Dutch Dalton, Pete Incaviglia, Nails (the Philly Version) and the Philadelphia Phanatic

New York Nails vs The Philly Dude: Mets fans remember the 1986 NLCS (game 3) vs the Astros. The Philly Dude sported a bigger frame and more chew. Traded to PHI for Juan Samuel...that's still a tough one for Mets' fans to stomach.

 

Pete Incaviglia vs Darryl Strawberry:  Inky vs Straw. 'Nuf Ced - Probably the most intriguing match-up in all the brackets.

                                   

Keith Hernandez vs John Kruk: Hernadez was the smoother both on the field and off. Kruk ate more - you decide. A great battle of polar opposites.

                     

Roger McDowell vs Mitch Williams: McDowell could always be counted on for a good hot foot or lighting off fireworks in the dugout. The "Wild Thing" featured a full throttle delivery and was always entertaining. Joe Carter anyone

                  

Wally Backman vs Darren Daulton: Backman and Dykstra were affectionately known as the "Wild Boys" while in New York and Backman sported a killer moustache.

"Dutch," as Daulton was known, was the leader of that Philly team and had the long flowing locks that were in style (maybe) in '93.

                

The Philly Phanatic vs Mr. Met: Kind of an easy one. From his famous feuds with Tommy Lasorda to his animated antics with players, fans and umpires alike it has to be the Phanatic. Footnote - The Phanatic is Tim McCarver's favorite mascot.

            

So...who was the most colorful character of them all...leave a post and weigh in - A free FOX Sports hat sent to the best reply.

Mets at Braves or White Sox at Tigers or Dodgers at Padres

 

Red Sox and Dodgers From the L.A. Coliseum...

The first baseball game at the L.A. Coliseum since the Dodgers played their last game there back in 1961 ... 

A possible record crowd of 115,300 for a baseball game? (The people at Guinness will let you know on Monday) ...

Tons of passionate Dodger and Red Sox fans hurling insults at each other ...

This was a game you didn't want to miss.

With the left-field foul pole only 201 feet away, a huge netting was in place to keep the balls in the yard. The Teams played with five infielders and two outfielders for most of the night. The dugouts consisted of  tarp with a metal bench under it.

The fans did the wave, and even some players on the Red Sox bench joined in.

Big Papi and the Case of the Woo Woo...

Maybe you've heard him do it before, maybe this will be your first time. I heard it for the first time at Fenway last year after ALCS Game 7, when Big Papi addresssed the crowd. He punctuated his World Series guarantee with it -- with what? With a "Woo Woo."

Screwballs correspondant Nathali Parker went to Big Papi to find out why ...

 

Guys that played Cops on TV in the '80s Like Baseball

'80s TV cops Don Johnson, aka "Sonny Crockett" from the show  "Miami Vice," and Fred Dryer, aka "Hunter" from the show "Hunter," were at the game.

Dryer hung on the field while Johnson sat next to his "Tubbs" for the game, Commissioner Bud Selig (not pictured). Both were in brown leather jackets - a coincidence or something more?

I wondered all night who would win in a battle of '80s cops. I have to think it would have been Hunter, although I think it's a worthy discussion topic without a clear-cut answer. Any thoughts, post 'em.

Don't Drink and Sing...

I don't know what I like more about this guy, his enthusiasm or his satin cut-off Steve Yeagar Dodger jacket ...

 Food For Thought...

I usually review some food at the ballpark each week. But after seeing this sign in the L.A. Coliseum, I lost my appetite (and since it's really only a football stadium, I don't feel that bad)

And after seeing Derrick (owner of the stand?), I was even more disturbed.

Sights and Sounds...

Someone actually has (and wears) an Eric Karros jersey - I was just as shocked as you. Lasorda and Manny pose for the cams (unfortunately not exactly at mine)

Former Dodger Steve Garvey (he's still got picture-perfect hair). Former Dodger Don Newcombe (still got that cool hat) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hangs with (and above) Coco Crisp.

Kareem threw out some type of ceremonial pitch during the game, and he bounced it bad. He did, however ,have the presence of mind to get the ball back and do a "sky hook" to the catcher that got a huge ovation from the crowd.

My most artistic shot of the day ... Jason Varitek through the backstop netting

And of Course...

The funnest part of my day, and probably your favorite. The Pickups.

Sonny McLean's (a local L.A. watering hole that is the home of Red Sox Nation West) came 250 people strong to support their Sawx. They go up easy with no explanation needed.

 

It was all fun and games until a "Wally" imposter tried to steal my move - Not Cool Wally

What's the best part of my job? Picking up girls (literally, not figuratively) without any doubt. What does it have to do with my job or baseball? Nothing really but people seem to enjoy it...so why not.


 

Thanks to Tina Cervasio for being such a good sport. Not really sure how she feels about having a picture of me picking her up in the Red Sox dugout come up when you google her name. I thought it was cool.

This year I'm going to attempt to pickup Erin Andrews. A challenge but one I think that I'm up to.

Jimmy Rollins will probably want to take me out to a nice dinner in Philly week 3 to thank me for teaching him that new batting stance last season. Attention all MLB players...I'm very approachable and would be happy to give you a few tips...worked out pretty well for Jimmy.

Last year we fell a little short in our bid to help Mr. Met into the Mascot Hall of Fame - who will we get into a Hall of Fame this season?

Meet the Biggest Head in Sports Television - aka Richie Corbello (the guy on the right)

This picture doesn't really do justice to how big Richie's head really is...Actual measurements of his head: 7 inches wide, 11 inches long and a 26 inch circumfrence. Don't think that's big...measure your head and then let me know what you think.

 

We also had 2 guys that dressed up in lifesize red dixie cups (and little else) aka The Boston Red Cups, the singing beer guy from U.S. Cellular Field and of course Ronny Woo Woo - Cubs super fan.

The 2008 season has officially started. Unfortunately, our first game isn't for another 13 days (METS at BRAVES SATURDAY - APRIL 5th - 3:30 PM ET ON FOX - WATCH IT)...so until the new content comes in we will be taking a look back at some of the great (and not so great) moments from 2007.

With the Red Sox and A's squaring off in Japan I though; why not look back at some of our time in Boston.




This Saturday we will be live from the LA Memorial Coliseum to cover the Red Sox and Dodgers exhibition game. Over 100,00 tickets have been sold...traffic will be a nightmare but we will (hopefully) bring you the 1st look at the hairdo that Eric Karros will be sporting for the 2008 season - (he still won't return my calls so we are not completely sure he will be in attendance)

Next week we will have an interview with Lenny Dykstra and coverage from the launch party of his new magazine "Players Club; Keep Living The Dream." - "Nails" dishing out financial advice to athletes...you couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.

Can you guess which of the pictures is really Lenny Dykstra and which is a guy with a mohawk in a Lenny Dykstra jersey - does it really matter?





Have a question you want me to ask Lenny - let me know - I'll ask it

WATCH FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL - STARTING APRIL 5th at 3:30 PM ET/12:30 PM PT

Welcome back faithful fans...it's been a long offseason but Screwballs is back...and my grammar hasn't improved at all. I welcome you all back with an interview...

He won 288 games in the majors, has a major surgery named after him, has never heard the saying 'You can't trust a guy with 2 last names' and has the scouting report for getting Tim McCarver out at the plate...he is none other than former MLB pitcher Tommy John.

Screwballs sat down with the former Indian, White Sox, Dodger, Yankee, Angel and A's pitcher to see what he had to say...

SCREWBALLS: What is Tommy John up to these days?

TOMMY JOHN: MGM re-released 3 great baseball movies. Bull Durham, Eight Men Out and The Pride of the Yankees. The movies are great and have tons of extras. There's an interview with Charlie Sheen for Eight Men Out, audio commentary with Tim Robbins and Kevin Costner for Bull Durham and on The Pride of the Yankees, an interview with Curt Shilling.

I'm particularly fond of Pride of the Yankees since I do a lot of work for ALS. 1 person gets ALS every 90 minutes and 1 person dies of it every 90 minutes.

SCREWBALLS: How did you get involved in the fight against ALS?

TOMMY JOHN: My friend and teammate Catfish Hunter had it. He called us all over to his house and told us he had ALS. He told us he was going to fight it as hard as he could and that he probably wouldn't beat it. He said he wanted to turn the fight over to his bullpen and that we were his bullpen so I took it to heart.

SCREWBALLS: You won 288 games yet your legacy might be "Tommy John Surgery"

TOMMY JOHN: I hear my name mentioned 2, 3,4 times a day and it's one of the things I'll be known for. When I had the surgery Dr. Jobe told me there was a 5% chance that I would pitch again...and that was better than the 0% chance I had to pitch without it.

Last year I had 8 guys on the team I managed have the surgery. (Bridgeport Bluefish in the Atlantic League). If you know anyone out there I'm looking for a few good catchers.

SCREWBALLS: Any guys that you managed with the Staten Island Yankees that we should look out for?

TOMMY JOHN: Jeff Marquez. He throws hard...in the mid-ninties. He just has to find out what he has to do be successful. There's power and there is pitching. Throw hard but only as hard as you effectively can.

SCREWBALLS: With this being the last year at Yankee Stadium...what was your greatest memory there?

TOMMY JOHN: 1981...we were playing the Brewers in the first round of the playoffs. That summer my son Travis was two and a half and he fell out of a 3rd story window. He was in a coma for seventeen days. Mr. Steinbrenner had him throw the first pitch out during the 3rd game of the series vs the Brewers, which I was pitching. The entire crowd was chanting his name. Reggie Jackson carried him out and he threw the first pitch to Rick Cerrone. it was a game that I will never forget.

SCREWBALLS: Do you remember facing Tim McCarver?

TOMMY JOHN: I seemed to draw Steve Carlton all the time when we faced the Phillies. And I loved to pitch against Carlton because you'd have McCarver and Carlton hitting 8th and 9th. I could get those two guys out pretty good. At least better than Mike Scmidt and Greg Luzinski.

SCREWBALLS: What was your game plan for getting McCarver out?

TOMMY JOHN: Fastballs down and in and curveballs away.
