A "Scientific" Hangover Cure?

By Joe Quinn - @joequinnshow

There's a thousand different ways to solve (or cure) the dreaded hangover out there, but this time a UC-Davis chemist is stepping to the plate to present her "scientific" cure:

Instead of magic pills or a list of what eat/drink when you're going out, this cure sounds like a fairly tasty soup that should get you fixed up fairly quickly. 

She's termed the soup "Old Sober," and it includes Asian noodles of some sort, meat (beef, chicken, or shrimp), a sliced egg, some vegetables, and a brown broth with soy in it.   Apparently, the foods in the soup will counteract the alcohol's unpleasant morning-after effects. 

I can't say I've tried this one yet, but it might be on my agenda sometime soon.

THE MASTERS, Rd 2

QUICK HIT

By Joe Quinn - @joequinnshow

There's just no place for this in baseball.

Don't get me wrong, I'm as much of fan of a good fight as the next guy, but if I want to see a knock down, drag out brawl, I'll flip on the UFC or a hockey game.

What makes this instance to appalling is the fact that no pitcher, not even the dirtiest of them all, is going to intentionally hit anyone in a tie game on a FULL COUNT.  Clearly, the ball got away from Greinke, and he ultimately paid the price with a broken collarbone.

Did Greinke say something to Quentin to set him off, as a lot of people have suggested?  Probably.  Greinke isn't exactly known as a guy who always has both feet firmly on the ground, if you catch my drift.

Jay Mohr made a great suggestion on his show today - anytime a player takes a step toward the mound like this, its an automatic 10-game suspension without pay.  Regardless of the outcome.  

Now, I'm not stupid- baseball's players union would never let this happen, which brings up another point.  Is the union preventing the game from being better?  Tough to make an argument against it, with the insane contracts and outdated rules. 

On another note, just how severe is the injury to Greinke?  Hard to say - there's not much precedent for broken collar bones among pitchers in MLB.  Initial indications say a couple of months.  Should it matter in the overall punishment Quentin receives? 

I'd argue yes, absolutely!  If I walk up and punch you in the face, and you get a broken nose, I'm looking at an assault charge.  If I punch you in the face and you die from a brain hemorrhage, its a much more serious case.  My intent was the same.  The outcome if different.  Regardless of whether Quentin directly caused the injury to Greinke or if it was the ensuing scrum, if he goes to first base LIKE HE'S SUPPOSED TO, this never happens.

As it turns out, Quentin will likely get a five or six game suspension, while Greinke, and the Dodgers ultimately, will be stuck with a $140 million dollar bench warmer for several months (if not the whole season). 

Where's the justice in that?

QUICK HIT:

By Joe Quinn - @joequinnshow

There's been a lot of great moments at the Masters over the years.

The sight of Phil winning his first major - jumping up and down on the green when he sank the put.  Then again after he won his third green jacket, and embraced his wife Amy, who had been battling cancer.

There was the first confirmed sighting of the Tiger - when he was just a young lad, blowing away a field en route to setting a course record that still stands today. 

Speaking of Tiger, who could forget the chip that seemed to hang on the edge of the cup forever, Nike logo for all to see, before falling in?

You can go back to Larry Mize in 1987, denying Greg Norman the green jacket by chipping in from the fairway in a playoff.

There was Ben Crenshaw weeping in 1995, Gene Sarazen in 1935 when the tournament was just in its infancy, and Gary Player shooting a 30 on the final nine to win it in 1978.

But the one that stands out to most, is Jack in 1986. 

Verne Lundquist made what will likely go down as the greatest call in the history of golf - "Maybe....yes sir!"  And a 46-year Jack made history with six birdies and an eagle on his final ten holes to knock of Norman, Watson, Seve, and the rest.

A few years back, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Jack's win, ESPN did a series of short videos they showed during the broadcast.  This one was the best, and the story of Jack's iconic yellow shirt still gets to me today:

Happy Masters week everyone.  Lets hope this years tournament holds a moment just as great.

NHL - Sidney Crosby told reporters yesterday he's "feeling better" since taking a puck to the face last week during a game (I can only imagine - sounds like the most awful experience ever).  He claims he never saw the shot coming, but felt it, which I totally believe.

There's no doubt Sid the Kid is one of the most talented players in the league, but his legacy will depend upon him staying healthy for long stretches.  The concussion issues aside, this was more of a freak accident than a player that wasn't in shape, etc.

A video of the shot:

 And of Crosby talking to reporters yesterday:

 Needless to say, Sid the Kid is light a few teeth after that one.  OUCH!
