Not A Bad Place To Be On A Night Off

Man, being a professional athlete sure has it's perks, doesn't it? They may have gotten shut out of the Ritz Carlton last night in favor of a Saudi princess, but several Yanks caught the Cavs vs. Magic game in style. That's Robby Cano and CC checking in with Jay-Z pictured above. Even some of the beat writers got in on the action.

In addition to the Yanks, Jigga and the LoHud of the Rings"Ben Roethisberger", errr, Brady Quinn (the real Big Ben was there too), Kerry Wood and Carl Pavano all saw the Cavs crawl back to 3-2. Only 4% of NBA teams who get down 3-1 in a playoff series come back to win, but I can't bet against LeBron. I think it's his time. 

Sager: CC, the year you won the Cy Young, your team, the Indians, were up on the Boston Red Sox 3-1 but couldn't close them out. How much do you think a championship would mean to this city?

Sabathia: I'm sorry Craig, could you repeat the question? I couldn't concentrate because I was fighting the urge to strangle you with your ridiculous tie.  

Isn't it amazing how often A-Rod gets a picture taken of him where he looks like a complete and total douche? Would you even want to hang out with him for a night if you could? I'm assuming he'd pick up the tab which would make it significantly more tempting. 
 Mo, on the other hand, looks like he's walking in to "Enter Sandman" no matter where he goes. I would kill with hang with him for a night at his restaurant and talk baseball. 

Which Yankee would you most like to chill with? One night out, on them, your choice of activities. Ladies, it can't be Derek Jeter and "rolling around in bed", okay?

  1. Nick Swisher or Mo. Seem like complete opposites.

  2. Going out on the town with Swish has to be a blast. He would have been a lot closer to the top of the list about a month ago, though...

  3. How about one a couple nights out with Wang in Taiwan. Not that I really ever dreamed of going to Taiwan but he's bigger over there than Jesus Christ is in the South! I'm sure you'd get some awesome treatment.

  4. Stopera - You would at least get a happy ending!

  5. Swish or Damon I bet would be a good time. I would almost say that Swisher is a toned-down Jeremy Shockey without the incconveniences of coding or stomach pumps. Everyone would have to agree that Jeter would probably also be fun to hang with, just because there isn't a single place or pack of groupies he can't get into.

  8. CC. You know you'll get an awesome dinner (it's obvious the guy knows how to eat), everyone everywhere knows him and loves him. You hang with CC and there is no tellin who else you'll be hanging out with (LeBron perhaps)!

  10. I find it very offensive that I'm not allowed to pick Jeter just because I'm a girl. So I'll go with Mo.

  11. You could have gone with Jeter, Laura. You just had to pick something legitimate to do on your night out. No hanky panky.
