This Is MLB... and THIS Is MLB on Drudge
There are two taxing and equally debilitating activities that I force myself to partake in, every... single... day. I swallow a big@$$ horse-pill that's supposed to make my cartilage stronger; and I read all of the headlines on The Drudge Report.
If I had time, I would also stick rusty needles under each of my fingernails.
Why do I do these things? I take the horse-pill 'cuz it comes highly recommended by my doctor, and my doctor is a smart dude (he hates the Cubs, man!).
And I check in with The Drudge Report because it's important to know what the "other" side is thinking, how they're scheming, how they're fear mongering and how they're doing other popular GOP pastimes. But mostly I just like to laugh at how Drudge turns a headline like "Wall Street Baffled by Slowing Economy" into "WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF A GREAT, GREAT DEPRESSION".
That's how the dude gets hits. He scares traffic to him!
Indeed, I tip my cap for his savvy, but I wave my finger at his twisted incitations.
And to put things in perspective, I instructed the RSBS interns to take three recent MLB headlines and hand them over to Matt Drudge, just to see what would happen.
Here's what we got:
- - -
Original Headline:"White Sox enjoy another sweep at Fenway"
Headline on Drudge: "SHOW ME ALEXEI RAMIREZ'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE DAMMIT!!!"
- - -
Original Headline: "Holliday, McClellan both land on Cards' DL"
Headline on Drudge: "HOLLIDAY NEVER F$&*ING TOUCHED HOME, HE NEVER TOUCHED IT, HE NEVER TOUCHED IT, I CALL DO-OVER!!!"
- - -
Original Headline: "Swisher's Swat Solidifes Sweep for Yankees" Headline on Drudge: "OMG JORGE POSADA SUCKS, THE BRONX IS BURNING AND WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"

Hate me 'cuz I got the connections to make it happen, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right!
Peace,
Jeff
