Too sad for cake....

This was another close week for the Too Sad for Cake Award. First Runner up goes to Craig Counsell of the Milwaukee Brewers. Counsell struck out against Jeff Cirillo, who had never pitched in a major league game before. I know Counsell is a gritty veteran but you can't even make contact against a 13 year veteran Third Baseman who has already been cut this year once and has never pitched in the majors. Come On.

The winner this week however is Latrell Sprewell. SPrewell had his $1.5 million yacht seized in northern Wisconsin for lack of payments. This is sad on multiple levels. If you had a $1.5 million yacht would you be driving it on Lake Michigan off the coast of northern Wisconsin? Wisconsin is a dark desolte void of life, especially the farther north you go. Sprewell played 13 years in the NBA and made good money and also endorsed Nike. How come he didn't just go out and drop $1.5 million on the yacht instead of making monthly payments of $10,000? Two years ago Sprewell turned down $21 million over 3 years from Minnesota saying he "has a family to look out for." Since then he has gotten no offers from any team. I bet that money would have been real handy when trying to pay for your boat. I guess he is going to have to start choking people in his house again instead of on his $1.5 million yacht. Too Sad.
