Daily Dumbass: Derek Lee Hurts Himself While Eating

Freak injury time! Derrek Lee hurts back in chair collapse

"I know Alex Remington was just writing on how Derrek Lee(notes) has been prone to injury the past few years, but this is ridiculous.

According to manager Lou Piniella, Lee had just sat down for some pregame chow on Wednesday when the clubhouse chair beneath him decided to call it quits.

The Cubs first baseman dusted himself off for an appearance in an exhibition game against the Rangers, but he left early to receive treatment for his 34-year-old back. "

It's embarrassing enough to injure yourself while eating, but to do so while sitting in a chair looking like that is absolutely detrimental to your image.  Derrek Lee, you have millions of dollars and you are still sportin' the grandma poolside rocker?  C'mon now.  Lesson one of being a professional athlete, keep all your grandma's hand-me-downs secluded in one room.  Not to mention the chair looks like it got in a full out first fight with the ball player.  How you do so much damage while eating is beyond me.  I'm still stuck on who got the last laugh though?  Sure the chair took some hole-some shots that might require a patch job, but you don't see the chair being embarrassed in Yahoo! headlines do you?  


Consensus:
Derrek 0, Poolside Granny Rocker 1

Ron Washington is a coke head

Rangers manager Ron Washington tested positive for cocaine last July, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com.

"I did make a mistake and I regret that I did it," Washington told SI.com on Tuesday night. "I am really embarrassed and I am really sorry." The Rangers ultimately decided to retain Washington and he has passed all subsequent tests. Washington planned to address the incident with his team on Wednesday morning.

When I first read this I wasn't going to blog about it. My reasoning: it's the Rangers, who cares. It's Ron Washington, who cares. I've since realized though it kind of is relevant. The professional sport with the biggest drug scandal (steroids) ever has now caught a coach doing cocaine and turning a blind eye. The Rangers are turning a blind eye (just like they did through out the whole 90s, because besides Oakland the Rangers club house had needles, pills, cream and clear spread from locker to locker) on the situation.

Ron Washington should be suspended. Make a statement. Show the world you are trying to fix your drug problems. You can't honestly tell me a player would not be suspended if he tested positive for cocaine. Like player, like coach. Coaches are supposed to set an example for their players and when they don't they should be fired or punished. End of discussion.
