We’re in New York at the moment so like every single last one of you in the tri-state area, we’re tuned in to the bloviating wonderment that is Mike Francesa and Chris Russo on WFAN.
During their show (1-6:30p!) yesterday, the flatu-rific pair interviewed SI.com’s Jon Heyman, who volunteered perhaps a little too much information when it came to Pedro Martinez’s physical condition. Read more…
David Lennon of NEWSDAY has this blog entry today from Mets Spring Training:
Just found out why Pedro (Martinez) was a little wild this morning. He was throwing with his eyes closed. Martinez actually threw 15 with his eyes shut and only missed with three. Not bad.
Turns out it’s just another Rick Peterson mind trick. He does it with a number of the pitchers and they’ve bought into it. Score another one for Jedi mound master.
Last time baseball made news over eyes-wide-shut: Bud Selig and Don Fehr on MLB’s drug policy the past 15 years.
Bonus: We actually found a better example of trusting your stuff after the jump. Read more…

Yesterday we posted a video that featured a cockfight involving Pedro Martinez and Juan Marichal in the Dominican Republic. The video has since been taken down. Here’s the animated gif we created to link the video:
The ASSOCIATED PRESS then reported on the video a few hours after we linked it (which we first spotted on HOME RUN DERBY). Keep in mind the video was not uploaded to Youtube on the day we linked it. It had already been on the site for some time. We’re guessing the AP found the old video through SbB or Home Run Derby, which is fine. We really don’t expect credit on something like that.
But then earlier today Cathy Burke and Tom Liddy of the NEW YORK POST reported on the video as well, including this animated gif (bottom right):
Look familiar? Hi Cathy and Tom!
We offer evidence of another pumped-up day in the world of sports:

• Jeremy Shockey has better things to do than attend some silly Super Bowl parade.
• Terrelle Pryor said he wouldn’t choose his school on Wednesday, but others are trying to make the choice for him.
• Pedro Martinez & Juan Marichal do enjoy themselves a good cockfight:

• Like the SEC gals and Big East boys, the Green Bay Packers experience their own teleconferencing fun.
• ESPN needs to hire a spellchecker for the “PTI” graphics guys.
Very sad video sent over by HOME RUN DERBY today that features Pedro Martinez and Juan Marichal involved in what appears to be a professionally sanctioned cockfight somewhere in the Dominican Republic:
The video is not for the faint of heart. Unless you’re from Louisiana or BFF’s with Roy Jones, Jr.
