He'll make you sorry you were even BORN! I've met a lot of fools in my day, Rick Flair, but trying to take food off Jim Malone's table is a the sort of stupid that gets a man turned into a pretzel! Listen Flair, you can talk all you want to, but if I were you, I'd be working on your running skills, because when we meet in the ring at Wrestlemania XVI, running is going to be your only choice, But don't you worry. Malone is gonna CATCH YA!

In San Diego, The Nuge has nailed down the job for San Diego Padres closer Huston Street.

Street told Don Norcross of UT-San Diego that he was rushed as a rookie, picking a Nas instrumental because he had five minutes to decide on game day.

This time around, with the pressure of being in the same city where Trevor Hoffman famously entered to AC/DC's "Hell's Bells," Street took his time.

Street decided on Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold" at the urging of Padres strength and conditioning coach Jim Malone, who told Norcross:

�Ted Nugent, he�s out of his mind. That�s the kind of controlled craziness, if I were a closer, I�d want to come out to.�

With that, Jim Malone leads the league in understatements this season.

That's his girlfriend at the time, no idea about anything since. Presumably this is the shot they take before you get on the boat. AFTER he got on the boat..well...

it probably shouldn't be a surprise that Jim Malone, the San Diego Padres' strength and conditioning coach, found that being stranded on a cruise ship wasn't that bad an experience.

Malone, 42, and his girlfriend were among the passengers on the Carnival Splendor. They arrived back in San Diego on Thursday after being adrift for three days at sea because of a fire in an engine room.

"I grew up in the Northeast, and it was like being stuck in the dorm after a snowstorm. As long as you had some beverages and something to snack on, you're good to go for a few days

(Buffalo Native, I can relate)

But it also could have been much, much worse. ... We got home, safe and sound, in a few days. We didn't sink."
