Wait 'til you see his ping pong ball trick!

We’re playing FanDuel fantasy baseball again this week, and one way or another I’ll end up feeling like Justin Verlander. If I win, I’m the Justin Verlander who gets to shack up with Kate Upton. If I lose horribly, I’m the Justin Verlander who ruined the All-Star Game.

We’re capping the league at 275 spots this week, so sign up as soon and as often as possible. We’re letting you register up to three teams, and the entry fee is only two dollars. Turning two bucks into 500 is a pretty sweet deal, especially if you do it by clicking your mouse what … 11, 12 times? Don’t be the guy who won’t do that.

As always, here’s how we’re playing:

So yeah, SIGN UP FOR THIS THING PLZ. It’s fun, cheap, and can win you a bunch of money. I’ll let you decide how many of those describe Kate Upton.

According to people who keep a much closer watch on who athletes are dating than we do, Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander has been in a relationship with the same girl since college. But apparently that may have changed recently – or perhaps during the filming of a certain video game commercial – as the big news about arguably the best pitcher in baseball – who was shelled in the first inning of last night’s MLB All-Star Game – wasn’t that he would start for the American League, but that he might be dating… Kate Upton.

The comely blonde model, a native of St. Joseph, Mich., was seen by several fans in Verlander’s suite at the Palace of Auburn Hills at last Thursday’s Aerosmith concert. The two stars were joined by her BFF, model Lizzy Glynn, and his pal Frank Viola, Jr. (son of Minnesota Twins’ pitcher Frank Viola). (Via HuffPo)

Does “comely” mean obese cannibal? Wait, no. It means attractive. Thank God, I didn’t want to rant again. But the double date indeed happen, with the younger Viola even removing his pants to appease Upton’s BFF for the mechanical bull ride.

Ever since Upton showed up at a recent Tigers game and *GASP!* might have drank an alcoholic beverage – because 19-year olds never drink – there was buzz as to why this New York Yankees fan and professed Florida native suddenly had an interest in her real home state again. And now we possibly know why.

But if Verlander and Upton are actually an item, I urge her Internet boyfriends to remain calm and not be too upset. After all, it could be much MUCH worse. She could be dating Bryce Harper.

I’m not one to narc on a beautiful woman having a good time, but here’s a clip of Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton — 20-year old Kate Upton — enjoying a clear, yellow-ish beverage in a transparent plastic cup at a Detroit Tigers home game over the weekend. She’s in Michigan, so there’s a chance the cup’s just full of urine (or SoBe … you know SoBe has a truck with a fire hose attached waiting outside her home at all times), but whatever. She’s got all the necessary tools to enjoy Journey and we shouldn’t fault her for that.

For anyone expressing sincere outrage (and I know you’re out there), our friends at Guyism summed it up best:

Oooh, where’s the TMZ investigative team? I eagerly await Harvey Levin breaking this down with the title, “Kate Upton drinking: Are her boobs real?”

Video is below. Don’t stop believin’.

It’s here! Tonight’s FanDuel.com fantasy baseball game with With Leather is giving you a chance to turn a $2 entry fee into a Prince Fielder-sized chunk of a $500 prize pool. They should give you a flat 50 points for a Prince triple, but whatever, I don’t organize these things, I just play them.

You should be playing, too, so here’s how we’re doing it:

No bells and whistles or “Beat Brandon To Death Because He’s Bad At Online Games” stips, just a straight-forward chance to turn a little bit of money into a lot of it. A $500 prize pool is nothing to gloss over, especially for two bucks, especially when the hardest thing you have to do is click a few names. Mike Trout! Click Mike Trout!

Seriously though, this is going down tonight, get over to FanDuel and sign up now.

Needs more Dulce Maria. (via NESN)

Or, “Dude, yer gettin’ arrested for a hate crime”.

From the Detroit Free Press:

Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young was arrested and faces a hate crime-related charge in connection with a dispute outside a hotel along New York’s 6th Avenue early this morning, a New York police spokesman told the Free Press.

“Basically, there was an incident at the hotel (and) some anti-Semitic remarks,” said Det. Joseph Cavitolo, who added that alcohol was involved.

Our exclusive, three-part report on this very serious matter is after the jump.
