Diamond Dames
It’s easy to point your web browser to www.letsgodeep.com and find out who is hitting homeruns on the field. It’s a little bit tougher to find out who the biggest slugger is off the field. Sometimes you’ll catch a glimpse of a new relationship on SportsCenter. Occasionally Yahoo will feature a new fling. The Consigliere is here to really break down, who is “The Man” when it comes to off day activities.
Russell Martin might still be making rookie mistakes, but he’s also been doing some of the same things as his older teammates. Once linked to Brad Penny, among others, Alyssa Milano can now be found cheering on the young Dodgers catcher. The good news for Martin is that she’s already had the tour of the clubhouse.
And don’t feel bad for Brad Penny. Eliza Dushku is keeping him busy enough that he doesn’t have time to worry about his catcher and his leftovers.
Everyone knows that Alex Rodriguez is married, but since his wife looks like a disgruntled department store mannequin, let’s giving him some credit for his pre-marriage conquests. He may not have been the first one to hit a homerun in the ballpark, but I’m sure that ARod felt pretty comfortable at the plate with Jessica Canseco. The Yankee slugger has also been linked to Sofia Vergara. Her nickname is “Human Viagra”, so I think he did okay for himself.
We also have a few pool players that have managed to marry some pretty good-looking women.
David Ortiz can be seen here with his wife Tiffany. Fellow teammate Manny Ramirez landed a hot wife named Juliana. Red Sox rival Jason Giambi also has a pretty lady in his corner named Kristian.
Of course, we couldn’t forget about the man that’s always in the news. All-Time HR leader Barry Bonds has apparently met a new woman at the gym. It’s rare that they are seen together in public but we did manage to track down one picture of her.
All of the above-mentioned players have one very important thing in common.
They all wish that they were Derek Jeter.
When it comes to off the field milestones, Derek Jeter is a legend that will likely never be matched. His dating profile reads like a who’s who of the hottest women in America.
When Jeter was still a rookie is baseball, he was already a pro on the dating scene as he began a relationship with Mariah Carey. After he made his mark on the music world, he moved on to Miss Universe Lara Dutta. Pretty soon, it was time to try out the actress scene and he began dating Jordana Brewster, who co-starred in D.E.B.S with Meagan Good. Being careful not to stay in one relationship too long, Jeter moved on to Supermodel Adriana Lima. After things ended with Lima, he hooked up with small screen star Vanessa Minnillo. Why would he not stay with Minnillo for the rest of his life? Because he hit the jackpot and started dating Jessica Alba! While the Consigliere cannot condone this break-up, things did end with Alba and Jeter wasted little time before getting together with FHM star Vida Guerra. While Guerra may be hot, she can’t live up to the standards of Jeter’s next stop, Jessica Biel a.k.a. The Hottest Woman Alive!
Jeter is no longer with Biel either. Idiot. His latest relationship is Friday Night Lights cheerleader, Minka Kelly.
Now the next time you see the Yankees losing to the Red Sox and Jeter is sitting in the dugout grinning ear to ear, you’ll know why.

Sunday Surprise...A tribute to fathers day!

Written by Consigliere
No, this Sunday isn’t the Super Bowl, but for many people the day means just as much.Father’s Day is a special time of the year when you can let your dad know exactly how much he’s meant to you over the years. When you think back to some of the memorable times that you’ve spent with your dad, there’s a pretty good chance that baseball played a part. Whether it was your first trip to an MLB ballpark, a ride to Little League practice or just playing catch in the front yard, baseball has always been present in the father-son relationship.As Sunday draws closer and you start to recall some of those times, it’s interesting to note that there have been some pretty memorable on field moments in the history of Father’s Day.The date in history has provided us with a little bit of everything. In 1925, Philadelphia scored 13 runs in the 9th inning to erase a 14-2 Cleveland lead, en route to a 17-15 win. In 1938, Reds pitcher Johnny Vander Meer pitched his 2nd consecutive no-hitter. In 1982, Jeff Reardon recorded his 342 career save and passed Rollie Fingers on the All-Time list. In 1996, Juan Castor, Delino Deshields and Eric Karros turned a triple play. In 1999, Brewers pitcher, Jim Abbot recorded his first career hit and Orioles first baseman Will Clark recorded his 2000th career hit.Not everything was something to remember though, if you’re a Cubs fan. In 1964, the Cubs traded Lou Brock to the Cardinals for Ernie Broglio. Of course, Brock went on to amass 3000 hits and over 900 stolen bases while Broglio went on to record just 7 more career wins. If you’re planning on getting together with your dad this Sunday, here are a few games that have a chance to be memorable…Dodgers at Tigers: Super prospect Clayton Kershaw is the scheduled starter for LA.San Diego at Cleveland: Reigning Cy Young winner CC Sabathia takes the mound against 4-time Cy Young winner Greg Maddux.Boston at Cincinnati: This could be the matchup of the day as 2007 World Series Champions take on a surging group of youngsters. Rookie Homer Bailey will square off with veteran Josh Beckett, but if pitching isn’t your thing, the game also features 8 HR Derby pool players. Mike Lowell and Manny Ramirez will have to make up for the injured David Ortiz, while the Reds will field Ken Griffey Jr, Adam Dunn, Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto and Jay Bruce.From all of us here at the All-American Homerun Derby, we want to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there. We hope that Sunday is a special day for you.

Week 10 Review from The All American Home RUn Derby

Take it Deep: www.letsgodeep.com

Week 10 Review
The battle atop the leaderboard rages on!
Mr. Papa Georgio is in a dead heat with #1Philsfan with each team having a total of 176 HR. AllorNothin sits in 3rd place, just one HR off the pace. Dilldocks remains in the hunt with 173 HR and Adragon’s Bash Bros holds down the 5th spot with 169 HR.
Let’s look at our pool player breakdown…
1 player with 21 homeruns
1 player with 18 homeruns
3 players with 17 homeruns
2 players with 16 homeruns
5 players with 15 homeruns
3 players with 14 homeruns
4 players with 13 homeruns
5 players with 12 homeruns
4 players with 11 homeruns
6 players with 10 homeruns
4 players with 9 homeruns
13 players with 8 homeruns
9 players with 7 homeruns
8 players with 6 homeruns
7 players with 5 homeruns
6 players with 4 homeruns
5 players with 3 homeruns
1 player with 2 homeruns
3 players with 1 homerun
4 players have failed to go deep
Chase Utley maintains his league-leading total yet again this week. His 21 HR are good enough for a 3 HR cushion over Dan Uggla. Josh Hamilton, Lance Berkman and Adrian Gonzalez are all 4 HR back, while Ryan Braun and Adam Dunn are 5 HR off the lead.
We have 12 players with a HR total between 13 and 15 HR. Jason Giambi(13) and Joe Crede(14) have had nice weeks, but Chipper Jones(15) and David Ortiz(13) are currently on the sidelines.
There are 15 players in the 10-12 HR pool. Jack Cust(11) added to his total this week and Hanley Ramirez(12) has been showing power since returning to the leadoff spot.
Our biggest group is the 7-9 HR class with 26 players. Alex Rodriguez(9) continues his climb towards the upper echelon, Ian Kinsler(8) is turning things around after a slow start and Corey Hart(7) hopes that he’s found his HR swing.
The 4-6 HR group is where we start to find the injured and underachieving. Vladimir Guerrero(6) isn’t where you would expect and Eric Byrnes(6) is just hoping to get back on the field. Vernon Wells(5) has returned from the DL and hit a HR in his 2nd game back.
The 1-3 HR group can be summed up with just 2 words: DELMON YOUNG(1)!!!!!
With Delmon and Eric Chavez homering this week, we have just 4 players in the Goose Egg Club. Andy LaRoche is in the process of being called up. Josh Fields is in the minors. Barry Bonds is in court. Victor Martinez owners are in trouble.

He's not Bruce Almighty...He's Bruce "Lee Roy"

Take IT Deep: http://www.letsgodeep.com/
Ever since ESPN has tabbed Jay Bruce as Bruce almighty; this nickname has spread across the networks, newspapers & internet like wildfire! Has everyone forgotten about another Bruce that was one of the biggest bad asses on the silver screen in the 1980's?If you've seen the cult classic The Last Dragon by Barry Gordy, you know what I'm talking about! He's the baddest Bruce I've ever known (Yes, even badder than Bruce Lee) because he was the coolest karate chopping Mo Fo I've ever known! How many dudes do you know that could use their aurora & Afro to completely dominate & strike fear into their opponent? Maybe Bruce Lee Roy has shown Jay Bruce the ways of the dragon & how to connect with his inner Chi to funnel that energy into his big bat these day ;)Anyways, rent the movie if you haven't seen it & I hope you enjoy this story not about Bruce Almighty, but.......The New Bruce "Lee Roy"The Reds didn't seem to be headed in the right direction when they traded away Josh Hamilton and signed Corey Patterson. Why wouldn't you just bring up Jay Bruce to play CF? Probably for the same reason that Joey Votto had to wait patiently while Scott Hatteberg wasted plate appearances. Dusty Baker loves his vets. If you're a rookie and want to get your chance, you have to make it impossible for you to stay in the minors. Jay Bruce did exactly that. Through 49 games at Louisville, Bruce was batting .364 with 34 runs, 9 doubles, 3 triples, 10 HR and 8 SB. The one knock on Bruce has always been his high strikeout rate, which showed in Louisville(12 BB/ 45 K) and that's exactly the reason that the Reds kept using as a reason to leave him in Triple-A. When rumors started to heat up that Ken Griffey Jr would be traded back to Seattle and that Adam Dunn might be on the market, it seemed that Bruce's time was coming. After Bruce had a 10 game stretch where he batted .611, including 3 HR in his last 17 at bats; the Reds couldn't ignore him anymore. Cincinnati officially made the call up on May 27th when they designated Hatteberg for assignment and Bruce has been something out of **** tale ever since. He made his debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates and collected 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs, 2 RBI and 1 SB. In the 6 games since his call up, he's batting .591 with 2 HR, 6 RBI, 10 runs and 2 SB. He also notched his first career walk-off HR in a win over Atlanta. Oh, and as for his one flaw... he has 6 walks and just 1 strikeout so far.

Surprise!!!

Surprise!!!
Every year a few players start out very hot and every year those players eventually cool off. As the month of May comes to a close, we have a few guys that are still hot and showing no signs of slowing down. A couple of them are no strangers to the spotlight and a couple are just beginning to take center stage. Let’s take a look at the 5 guys that are the biggest surprises thus far.
Lance Berkman
Berkman has been around the game for a while now and has made quite a name for himself, but this year he’s looking to set career highs across the board. He’s currently batting .384 with 17 HR, 47 RBI, 57 runs and 10 SB. His batting average is downright ridiculous and he’s already set a career high in stolen bases. If he can maintain his current pace, he’ll set new marks for HR and RBI and shatter his previous run total.
Chase Utley
Some would call Utley a rising star and others could make the case that he’s already a certified superstar. He’s doing everything in his power to make the latter true. Utley is right at his career pace for average, runs and stolen bases, but his power numbers are through the roof. He’s currently batting .310 with 17 HR, 46 RBI, 42 runs and 5 stolen bases. He’s on pace for 49 HR and 133 RBI, which would destroy his previous highs of 32 HR and 105 RBI.
Dan Uggla
The Marlin middle infielder doesn’t have the experience that some of the other guys, but he’s well on his way to stardom. Uggla is carrying a career high .307 average along with 16 HR, 38 RBI and 41 runs. At this rate, Uggla will set new career highs across the board with 51 HR, 120 RBI and 130 runs.
Josh Hamilton
Hamilton burst back onto the scene last year and showed why you never give up on talent. With his troubles in the past, Hamilton is looking to make up for lost time. He’s batting .324 with 13 HR, 58 RBI and 35 runs. He’s already set a career mark for RBI and is currently on pace for a whopping 174 this season. At this rate, he’ll hit 39 HR and cross the plate 105 times.
Joey Votto
It turns out that the only thing holding Votto back was Dusty Baker. Once Votto was given his fair shot, he took it and ran. He’s currently batting .294 with 10 HR, 29 RBI and 28 runs. He only played a handful of games last year so he’s already setting career highs. At the pace that he’s on, he’ll hit 30 HR while scoring 85 times and knocking in 90 RBI. The scary thing is that I think he can top those numbers. Not bad for a rookie that started the year behind Scott Hatteberg.

Week 7 Review from Letsgodeep.com

Week 8 Review

A quick glance at this week’s leaderboard shows us that we have a new leader. AllorNothin takes over the top spot this week with 143 homeruns. Mr. Papa Georgio slips to 2nd place with 142 homeruns. #1Philsfan has 141 homeruns, which is good enough for 3rd spot. Dilldocks and bulldogs round out our top five. Let’s take a look at this week’s player totals… 2 players with 16 homeruns 1 player with 15 homeruns 2 players with 14 homeruns 2 players with 13 homeruns 4 players with 12 homeruns 6 players with 11 homeruns 3 players with 10 homeruns 7 players with 9 homeruns 13 players with 8 homeruns 6 players with 7 homeruns 13 players with 6 homeruns 10 players with 5 homeruns 5 players with 4 homeruns 7 players with 3 homeruns 3 players with 2 homeruns 3 players with 1 homerun 7 players have failed to go deep Lance Berkman leads the MLB in HR again this week, but Dan Uggla, who also has a total of 16 HR, joins him at the top. Chase Utley continues to keep pace with 15, while Adrian Gonzalez and Ryan Howard each have 14 HR. Adam Dunn and Ryan Braun stay close to the top with 13 HR each. Chipper Jones, Jason Bay, Josh Hamilton and Pat Burrell all have 12 HR. Nine players have a total of 10 or 11. The surprise of the group is rookie Joey Votto with 10 homeruns. Twenty players comprise the 8 and 9 HR groups. Hanley Ramirez and Brandon Phillips look to add to their totals, while Matt Holliday and Rick Ankiel just look to get healthy. Nineteen players make up the 6 and 7 HR group. Alex Rodriguez returned to the field with a bang and now has 6 HR, but Curtis Granderson has cooled off dramatically and remains stuck on a total of 6. Fifteen players are in the 4 and 5 HR group. Adam LaRoche is having a good month and has increased his HR total to 5, but guys like Travis Hafner and Carlos Beltran are facing a power outage and have just 4 HR each. Thirteen players have 3 HR or less. The majority of the players in this group have battled injuries and their HR totals have suffered as a result. BJ Upton and Koskue Fukudome on the other hand, have no excuses. Our bottom 10 players remain the same this week. It’s depressing to even type their names anymore. If you own them, you know who they are.

MLB Injury Report: 5/25/2008

Injury Report 5.25.08

Chipper Jones Jones is having trouble with his back again and was out of Sunday’s lineup as a result. He’s considered day-to-day. Matt Holliday Holliday was placed on the 15-day DL with a strained hamstring. Andruw Jones Jones will finally have surgery on his knee and is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks. Brad Hawpe Hawpe joins Holliday in the category of Rockies outfielder on the DL with a strained hamstring. Eric Chavez Chavez won’t return from the DL on May 27th when he is eligible. He’ll likely be out another week. Andy LaRoche LaRoche is off to a very slow start in Triple-A and likely won’t get the call up in the near future. Hank Blalock Add a wrist injury to the growing list of reasons that Blalock isn’t on the field. He’s once again expected to return this week.

Week 6 Review in The All American Home Run Derby

Take it Deep: www.letsgodeep.com

Guess who is leading the game after 6 weeks? That’s right. Once again, The Hundo’s leads the way in the All American Home Run Derby. The once insurmountable lead has dwindled to just 1 HR as we close in on our first quarter prize. With just 3 days of games remaining before the deadline, time will tell if The Hundo’s holds on to the lead or if we see a collapse like the New York Mets of last year. #1Philsfan is just one homerun back with a total of 100. Mr. Papa Georgio(98 HR), The Shockers(94 HR) and Sultans of Swat 2(93 HR) round out the Top 5 and also have a great chance to overtake our leader.Here is this week’s player breakdown…1 player with 13 homeruns1 player with 12 homeruns1 player with 11 homeruns2 players with 10 homeruns3 players with 9 homeruns2 players with 8 homeruns15 players with 7 homeruns14 players with 6 homeruns11 players with 5 homeruns8 players with 4 homeruns19 players with 3 homeruns4 players with 2 homeruns6 players with 1 homerun7 players have failed to go deepChase Utley has fallen off his pace, but still leads the Majors with 13 HR. Lance Berkman, Dan Uggla, Derrek Lee and Chipper Jones also have 10+ homeruns.Pat Burrell is another Phil that has cooled off, but remains near the top of the league with 9 round trippers. Adrian Gonzalez, Chris Young, Carlos Pena and Hanley Ramirez all have 8 or more.Joey Votto had a 3 HR game this week and Ryan Braun added a 2 HR night to lead 15 players with a total of 7 HR.Raul Ibanez finally added to his total and now had 6 HR. That’s the same number that Miguel Cabrera seems to be stuck on. Twelve other players also have 6 HR.Ryan Zimmerman showed some more pop and now leads a group of 11 players with 5 long balls.We have 8 players with 4 HR, but ARod is hoping to get off this list later in the week.Our largest group is 19 players with just 3 homeruns. Ian Kinsler and Adam LaRoche are starting to show some signs of power, but everyone is still looking for Vladimir Guerrero. His name appears on this list, but I haven’t heard from him in weeks.Koskue Fukudome and Khalil Green finally hit #2 on the year and join Gary Sheffield and Ryan Garko as the only guys with 2 HR.Six players sit with just 1 HR. Andruw Jones, JJ Hardy and Corey Hart are all equally unimpressive. Our Goose Egg Club is 7 this week. Delmon Young and Victor Martinez remain the only active players without a single homerun. Who hits one first? Delmon, Victor or Jay Bruce?
