It's gotta suck to be the guy in this video. As soon as he found out that Baron Davis was opting out of his Golden State contract, he set about writing a song begging Baron Davis to sign with the Clippers. Then within hours of him finishing it, Baron was already a Clipper.
I'll be honest, I'm not in love with this song or anything. I'm just posting it because I like the idea of an Asian Jack Johnson.

AL – In the battle of first and second place teams that isn't the Rays and the Red Sox, the Angels got a three-run rally in the 8th capped by a two-run Garret Anderson homer to get a 5-3 win over the A's and push their AL West lead to 4 1/2 games. K-Rod picked up his 33rd save, leaving him one short of John Smoltz's 2003 pre-All-Star Game record. WHOA! PRE-ALL-STAR-GAME RECORDS! PRESSURE'S ON! … Just to show us for the ribbing in the link dumb post, Richie Sexson goes yard in the Mariners 7-6 win over the Jays. Eh, he stil fights like a girl, so I'm not worried about pissing him off… The Rays continue to exploit the power of the Cowbell Kid's Trop mystique, improving to 5-0 this season in Tampa against the Red Sox. The Rays can go for the sweep tomorrow and the two teams don't play again until two series in September, when we can actually care what happens…The White Sox get one of those two-run, two-out 10th inning rallies that usually result in wins, only this time [tension mounts] it did. Oh. Super.
NL – The Phillies build their lead in the East by improving to 4-0 at Mechanical Cow Field in Atlanta, while the Nationals get a grand slam from recent walkoff hero Ronnie Belliard to hold off the Marlins…The Dodgers, only 2 1/2 games out of first in the West despite being five games under .500 get an 11th inning homer by Jeff Kent to top the Astros…The Mets unveil secret weapon Tony Armas, who wins his season debut by virtue of getting some run support…Aaron Cook tosses a five-hit complete game shutout against the Padres to swap places in the West cellar. At least it's upholstered.
Assorted Summer Boredom – Williams sisters (okay, Serena) remain the only hope for a sexy triumph at Wimbledon, as both advance to the semifinals. In transaction news, because that qualifies for action these days, Boom Dizzle is about to sign with the Clip, ditching one mediocre Cali team for another. Meanwhile, a bunch of hockey players signed with hockey teams. Sounds like a good fit.
Warriors point guard and noted cool dude Baron Davis celebrated his 29th birthday Saturday night at the Hotel Sofitel in West Hollywood, which was co-hosted by his friend, noted Alba impregnator Cash Warren. I read on a million gossip blogs that it was a surprise party, although how you have a surprise party with a red carpet is beyond me, and I've got a mind like a bear trap. Assuming you dropped the bear trap a lot when it was new and left it to rust in a vat of whiskey for ten years.
And yeah, that hot chick who can't act was there. Only she's not really hot any more, so she now has zero marketable skills. Well, except baby-making. But that's not really a growth industry.
Thanks to badass tipster Josh, I can't begin to guess why the hell Warriors point guard Baron Davis is wearing short-shorts and roller skates… which is why I'm glad YouTube clips come with descriptions:
In this clip from FRAMED, actress Emmanuelle Chriqui of "Entourage" and two time NBA All-Star Baron Davis take a trip through time as they hunt for the perfect wardrobe for Baron's short film, "One Shot."
I'm not sure what FRAMED is, but there's something about this being a show on the IFC Channel. But I don't know what the IFC Channel is, so I'm still pretty clueless.
Anyway, it's nice that Emanuelle moved on from Entourage (a show by douchebags, about douchebags, for douchebags). I always enjoyed how retarded dipshits counted her as a legitimate reason to watch the most overrated show in history. Sure thing, guy. And On the Line was awesome, too. I especially liked the part where Lance Bass played a straight dude.
Somehow, this Baron Davis flop didn't quite make the "Where Amazing Happens" commercials. And yet I can't be mad about it, because Baron Davis reps Oaktown and keeps it "real," while Mehmet Okur plays for Utah. I just can't feel sympathy for the Jazz. Their team bus could get into fiery wreck, and I'd be all, "I hope the driver is okay."

Baron, Baron, Baron… When it comes to good-looking, wealthy star athletes making horrible love life decisions, THIS is just one step below A-Rod cheating on his wife with a she-male stripper. Tony [Parker]… introduced [Teri Hatcher] to a fellow NBA guard, the Golden State Warriors’ Baron Davis, 28, at the newlyweds’ reception on July 7… “Baron and Teri really hit it off,” said a friend of the TV beauty. “They talked and danced all night and had a great time. They couldn’t seem to get enough of each other!”… On July 24 [Teri and Baron] were spotted together again at the Hollywood eatery Pace, where they sat on the same side of a four-person table, “looking like a couple of love-struck teenagers!” Gah, this is gonna ruin my day. Teri Hatcher is 42. Granted, she doesn't look 42. She looks like C-3PO. So I guess the pairing makes perfect sense, if you take into account that Baron Davis likes sex with robots. Older, washed-up robots. I just don't get it. If he's that desperate, I could have introduced him to a used Cuisinart that's still in really good condition. [FanHaus]
