One upset Prince makes a 17-4 game interesting



Two men at the center of a controversy get us started on this Hump Day edition of Wilber's Way. I dunno bout you, but I was off to bed by the time the fun started in LaLa Land last night with the Brewers getting pounded by Manny and the Dodgers.
Manny had been hit in the seventh by Chris Smith (the young buck has been involved in two instances now during his brief time in the bigs) with little commotion raised.
Then Guillermo Mota makes himself known against the team he played for last year by throwing at Prince, who did not like being thrown at with two outs of a 17-4 game in the top of the ninth.
After the game, all hell broke loose. See for yourself here.

Moto got tossed immediately, but in order show the full perspective of this incident, we need to take a look back. This might just be one of the funniest baseball fights ever as Mota takes a shot at Mike Piazza who didn't like it at all.

All I can say is, I'm tuning in tonight! Might be some fun as it is the last time the two teams play this year.

Also of news today is a move by ESPN to change is social networking guidelines for thier employees. Word actually came down through one ESPN worker's Twitter. Here's the link.
My take on the matter was initially one of, WTF is the four-letter word in sports talk doing? But the more I thought about it, things in Bristol are fitting to get out of hand now that this Erin Andrews thing seems to be done by someone within the complany. Sad day, looks like I won't be hearing anything out of Molly Qerim for a bit now will I? So sad.



Speaking of Twitter. I do actually follow some Packers blogs to see what is going on in Packerland and came across something I just couldn't say no to posting. It looks like the NFL's No. 1 draft pick was enjoying his final days of summer with some quite beautiful women (that's how the top pick rolls right?!)
There's more here, as he looks like he had a damn good time. Plus started the day with one girl and dragged a different one into the woods. Haha. Oh Matthew!

Speaking of drafts, I'm finalizing my fantasy football league and have things together for my team names, but always am in the market for a witty name. If you're having problems, the fine folks over at "Kissing Suzy Kolber" have some help for you. First, these are awesome and they do it every year. And second, that might just be the best blog name I've seen.

OK. Now to the feature event of the day. I know yesterday I went with a boycott of the Megan Fox boycott and had a full blog of Nussie Hunter. Well, have to keep the spot alive today.
I watched Fast and Furious the other night and while Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez are fine in their own right, I thought Gal Gadot stole the show. Upon doing some research, I discovered she is the 2004 Miss Universe. Well, damn. She is out of this world hot, so why not run with it.

Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!!

Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar
Get more pictures like this from SHERDOG.COM

OK boys and girls. One of the best weekends to be a dude in recent memory is upon us. And I'm going to be right in the middle of it.
It's going to start Saturday with a trip to the Cathedral (Miller Park if you're new to my lingo) to welcome, OK maybe unwelcome, Manny Ramirez to Beer City.
I just want to go on record and say I'll be the guy in section 223 with the Mann-Roid sign screaming at the top of my lungs with each of his ABs. I asked the question about the sign around the office and on my Twitter and FB last night, and it's going to be in Dodgers Blue because is there really another option?
Then, the night shifts to what is in the photo at the top of the blog, UFC 100, which is being dubbed the biggest MMA fight ever. And even if the fight sucks, it's going to be the most bought UFC event ever.
I'll go on record and say my WWE allegiance has me rooting for Brock Lesnar over Frank Mir here just to show what he is made of and that it isn't all fake and does take some ability to do what the guys in WWE do. Now I do have mad respect for Mir here and think he could do what he did the first time he fought Brock and catch him in a submission to win the fight.
Got some links from the Four-Letter sports network with Brock saying he's evolved as a fighter.
Here's some insight on all of the fights. Plus, I read these on the UFC Website in finding a place to watch the fight. Mir says he's seeking consistency in this fight and this story on Brock saying he is keeping it simple this time around.
The hard part for me is going to be finding a place to see the fight as I will be at the Brewers game and am going to have to go do some probably already uber-packed sports bar, pay a cover and get a shitty seat with people that have no idea about the sport or either guy and just wear their lame Tapout! shirt out.
One of the great pieces of scenery at the fights is going to be Holly Madison who will be a ring girl at Mandalay Bay. Figured I'd give you this hot pic and a video of her on Jimmy Kimmel. Pretty funny and she looks damn hot.








And my final thing on the UFC fight, is this. If you remember the Rampage Jackson video I posted yesterday of Rampage humping the chick interviewing him (take a minute, if you haven't yet to check it). Well, her name is Heather Nichols and she did an interview today on si.com's Hot Clicks with Jimmy Traina. Be sure to check it out.
Now to Sunday's great event, the season premiere of HBO's Entourage. I'm a huge fan of the seris and will be watching back seasons to get ready for this. Be sure to check out a sneak peak scene here. Also, be sure to check this written preview.
Now I'm going to dish about how excited I am about the whole thing. This show has become one of my favorites and the reason I sprung for HBO in the past. Always funny and always hot chicks rolling around the screen. I'm a huge fan of Johnny Drama and love quoting the show. It's just a great guy's show to follow and hopefully try to live your own version of.
And while I have the platform to post my own blog, let me give you a reason to watch Sunday. Special, note, it's not E. Thank me later! That's my dream girl Sloan :)




OK. I've delivered on the eye candy and on the big weekend. Oh and how can I forget one movie I'm kind of excited to see how it does, Bruno. Sasha Baren Cohen was on Letterman the other night and did the Top Ten List. Enjoy this, it's pretty good!





OK, that's enough out of me for today. It's time to enjoy the weekend.
**A special programming note is that I will be posting on Sunday night and not Monday this week because I will be taking in six baseball games in La Crosse. Don't worry, I'll deliver the same things I would have come through with Monday. Including a UFC 100 recap and my Entourage reaction from my hotel room in LAX.

Remember, if you find something you think I should post, be sure to E-mail me at wilbersway@gmail.com. SEE YOU IN THE PROMISED LAND!
