The Texas Tigers and Billy Joe Bush
Everyone had high hopes for the Texas Tigers; they were the newest, and rumored to be the best baseball team ever put together.
Although they had only been playing together for a little while, they knew how to bring out the best in each other. The fielding was excellent, the hitting was bar none, and the pitching was fantastic.
Billy Joe Bush was a big baseball fan who had an inheritance big enough to buy several small countries. He chose to buy the Texas Tigers, and he had a plan to have them go undefeated.
Billy Joe Bush knew that if the pitcher pitched a no-hitter, that there was no way they could lose.
He ordered a no-hitter.
The pitcher told him that he would do his best, but that fortunately, the team had excellent fielding, and they had all been working on their hitting. Even the pitcher was batting .300.
“I said, a no-hitter” Billy Joe Bush made himself clear.
The pitcher explained that of course, he would love to deliver a no-hitter, but that winning the game was what the team's real goal was.
“Am I an idiot? Of course winning the game is the goal- and that's why I'm telling you to pitch a no-hitter. And if you don't pitch a no-hitter, I'm breaking up the team, and selling off each of you. End of discussion.”
“Billy, We can win the game without pitching a no-hitter-” the pitcher tried to explain
“If you don't pitch a no-hitter, I am taking apart the team.” and Billy Joe Bush walked away.
On the day of the big game, the whole team had heard about the order. None of them wanted to go out on the field, no one wanted to play, but since they were professionals, they pulled it together. They knew the fans were there for them to play their best, to do their best, and they would.
But the pitcher had to deliver a no-hitter, or it would all be over.
So, the pitcher took the mound, the players took the field. The crowd cheered, and got ready for the first pitch. The Texas Tigers knew they couldn't let everyone down.
The pitcher looked out to the hitter, looked into the eyes of the catcher, and did what he had to do to make Billy Joe Bush happy, keep the team together, and play more games in the future.
First pitch: High and outside. So was every pitch after that- He walked every batter.
The Texas Tigers lost the game miserably, but he pitched a no-hitter-
Just as Billy Joe Bush ordered.

"Leblon James" slam dunks Miami nightlife
************************************************************
"Leblon James" slam dunks Miami nightlife
Never bet against King James.
What does famous basketball star Lebron James have to do with my hangover?
Well, it's not what you think...
I decided to go out in Miami with a rather tall chilean female friend of mine,
and we ran into a bunch of Spaniards who kept saying that Miami was "puta madre",
which by my understanding means "whore mother".
Well, by the end of the night, I would know what they meant.
The four of us went out to The Delano, one of Miami's hottest, swankiest hotels,
where women can just stand around and be bought drinks, rooms, and
bentleys if they're patient. I turned my head for a second to talk to the spaniards
when some guy with a glint in his eye offered to by my vertically advantaged friend a drink:
"Have you had a Leblon James yet?"
"huh?"
"It's Leblon and Orange Juice"
I laughed, and maybe interrupting his flow,
"That's hilarious" I said.
Of course, I got the joke, that LebRon James (with an r) is a basketball star,
and so having Leblon (a brand of Cachaca) with orange juice was representative of him.
It was sweeter than a vodka and oj,
but not girlie, so I liked it.
We all liked it.
Well, the guy was nice enough to get us all a round,
and then another, and then another.
And at the Delano, that got pricey.
Frankly, I was thinking about going home with him myself!
We eventually left (sorry Delano guy) and went on to The Clevelander,
which is pretty much the opposite of The Delano, with people dancing
and rapping along to hip-hop beats all night.
We thought it was appropriate to order a couple of Leblon James' at the Clevelander
(Lebron plays for The Cleveland Cavaliers), but the bartender hadn't heard of it yet.
Once we explained it was Leblon with Orange juice,
the bartender laughed, and gave them to us on the house!
That's probably when we should have called the game,
but since we didn't pay for the first round, we made it up by ordering two more.
Well, about an hour into the dancing, just about when
Biggie was talking about how his crew does run-run, I felt it-
Leblon James had slam dunked on me.
I decided that I would put some money down on the next Cavaliers game,
because if King James' drink could do a number on me,
I'm pretty sure we'll see them in the final four this year.
