The 2008 baseball season just kicked off, and everyone has questions. Will the Yankees or Red Sox prevail in the next chapter of the age-old rivalry? Will the Cubs’ pitchers stay healthy and lead Chicago to the promised land in year 100 of the curse? What will happen to Barry Bonds?

 

Of course, all of those questions are stupid when compared to this one: Which team has the hottest fans? Using many highly-scientific methods, we measured the attractiveness of each MLB fan base and, with the help of some groundbreaking new technology, determined which fans’ good looks really pushed their club to the next level. So yeah, we basically scanned the Internet for pictures of hot chicks in baseball shirts.

 

Here are the 10 hottest fan bases in Major League Baseball.

I dare you to find me a more emo day than Valentine's Day. We can either celebrate love and be all romantic and cheesy, or mourn love and spit in the general directions of all the Hallmark stores that invented the damned holiday to begin with. I kind of prefer a combination -- I like to celebrate love, but at the same time, shun the odd -looking heart bears, over-priced flowers, and whatever else you're supposed to like and give people on this day. Anyway, it's Thursday, and that's a wrestling night in my house.

 

Anyway, I asked a bunch of punk and emo bands what came to mind when they thought of their first loves. As expected... some cute, some sad, some completely hilarious.

 

 

 

 

Brien Worsham- Vocals, Secret Lives! Of The Freemasons:
I was in 4th grade when this girl Jenn* moved to my school. I was instantly in love with this girl. From her permed hair right down to her big ass teeth… I was in love. Until the day we kissed, that is. This girl’s spit was out-of-control. It was like kissing a water fountain! You can imagine how bummed I was. Didn’t even have time to cop my first feel or anything. Nothing but instant gross out. Thanks for letting me vent about this, Shoutmouth.

I would say my first love was one of my best friends. I had a problem with falling in love with all my girl best friends, and that was a theme with me. I was afraid to branch out on girls I didn't know. The nice thing is, I'm still really good friends with all my first loves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daniel Hunter - Vocals, Everything Else, PlayRadioPlay:

 

When I was in 7th grade I think... I dated my first love for 8 months and we never kissed...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brian Nagan- Vocals, Four Letter Lie:

"I remember I was in first grade, and it was about half way through the school year when a new girl joined our grade. She had moved here from another state and of course whenever there is a new student at your school, everyone knows about it. Her name was Jennifer* and she was so cute. I had a crush on her for sure, but the problem was, my two other best friends did too. Everyday at recess we would spend all of our time trying to impress this girl and out do the other. One day I brought her flowers, and even went so far as to stealing a pair of my mothers earrings and giving them to this girl, remember...she was in first grade and could obviously never wear any sort of fine jewelry.

 

The day I finally got the chance to hang out with this girl outside of class when I got to her house, one of my friends was already there and he told me to leave and that he "had her first". I felt pretty devastated. Every day after that I no longer talked to her or tried to entertain her at recess. And that was the beginning of my endless losing streak with girls.

 

 

 

Jared - Drums, Innerpartysystem:

The only thing I remember about my first love was that it was painfully blinded by 13 year old teenage hormones. No one knows what the fuck love really is the first time around, and like anything else, you make a lot of mistakes when you're learning

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doug Robinson- Vocals, The Sleeping:

My first love married my best friend about five months ago which is funny because he started seeing her after he told me she was cheating on me with one of our other friends.... haha. We are all still close to this day.

 

Oh and my second love would smash her own head against the steering wheel every time we got into an argument basically scaring the shit out of me and forcing me to fear for my life... haha.

 

 

 

 

Alida Marroni- Vocals, 1997

I'd have to say that I was incredibly lucky to have fallen in love and stayed with that person for the years that I did. I barely have any regrets when it comes to the situation, which is fairly unusual for such a long relationship. There is nothing like being in love throughout all of high school. In a lot of ways it's as typical and adorable as it sounds. However, I neglected a lot of friends and experiences during this time because I was so caught up and dependent on another person. That's probably the only downside of it all. I haven't been in love since, but I hear that the first one will always have a big part of you.

 

 

So... what do you remember about your first love?

 

And... Happy Valentine's Day!

 

I've had this song in my head since I woke up, so it's my gift to you guys:

 

 

 

I would like to think of YouTube as a happy place. I know that I can go there anytime I get an urge to watch that Rihanna video, reflect on the good times with the Britney Spears Superbowl Commercial for Pepsi, or go full out nostalgic with some retro TV theme songs. Pretty much the best place ever, right?

 

Recently, while perusing this video site of aforementioned greatness, I decided it was long past time I checked out that Soulja Boy video which has been getting so much attention lately. What I stumbled upon was this video of Soulja Boy himself, with a small legion of adoring dancers at the bottom of an empty pool teaching me everything I needed to know in order to 'Crank That' all by myself! Too good to be true...or so I thought.

Some people like to drink.
Famous musicians are people.
Therefore, some famous musicians like to drink.

Fortunately, when famous people drink there are usually cameras rolling. While we cannot personally attest to the level of intoxication of the musicians in these videos, I think we all know some outlandish behavior when we see it. Enjoy!

For most people, being a professional athlete would be a great and thoroughly satisfying accomplishment. But for a lot of professional athletes, it's just not enough. You may have heard about suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones, who recently decided to use his time away from the NFL to focus on a rap career. While Pacman is the latest athlete to give music a shot, he's certainly not the first (nor will he be the last).

 

Over the years, several athletes have ventured into the world of music. Some, like former White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell or former New York Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams, have been praised for their attempts.

 

Others, not so much.

Many people are shocked when a former All-American pop idol ends up as a scandal-plagued tabloid punch-line. But they shouldn't be, because it has been happening for years.

The names may change, but the "Behind The Music" remains the same. Like a bottle rocket soaring to astonishing new heights and lighting up the night sky, only to eventually run out of juice and come crashing down onto the neighbor's roof, thus is the trajectory of a pop star.

Let's take a closer look at the trajectory of a female pop star.

The highlight of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards was a scuffle between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee. If the VMA's proved anything, it's this: When musicians fight, everybody wins. Here are 20 of the craziest fights in music history...

This week's release by 50 Cent, Curtis, is all about acknowledging his roots. And while the name Curtis James Jackson III doesn't exactly exude bravado, it's way cooler than what's written on the birth certificates of these nerds, geeks, and dweebs.

The diss is generally associated with rap, but don't be fooled; it can translate to all genres. Here are the greatest musical disses of all-time...

Unless you've been under a rock for the last few weeks, you've probably heard the newest phrase to permeate the American vernacular:

Andrew Meyer, the student who evoked images of the Spanish Inquisition with his forceful grilling of John "The Ketchup King" Kerry, was subsequently tasered for his disruptive questioning style. Since the event, many questions have been raised regarding civil liberties, and just how far an American is allowed to go within the confines of "free speech" before someone tasers their ass.

...and like all serious matters dealing with social justice these days, outraged parties took to the streets to protest made hilarious YouTube videos spoofing the plight of Mr. Meyer.

Integrating the majesty of song, and the immediacy of the "remix", dozens of clips have popped up around the web. We've taken the time to assemble the best of these remixes into one convenient place, ranking them based on their informative contribution to society awesomeness, awareness of the larger social issues at hand quality, and proposals for remedying the problem hilarity.

Enjoy!
