What? The Country has run out of shocking Puns already?

Horse Racing...Melbourne CUP!....Yes yes shocking win by a shocking outsider wearing a shocking reverse Richmond like top. We get it, it was a shocking surprise. And yes it was a shock that the winner wasn't trained by Bart Cummings. And yes it was a shock that Corey Brown the winning Jockey on Shocking almost nearly had the cup taken away from him for Shockingly whipping the horse after the race was over.

And it was even a shock to the bookies when the favourite did'nt win and they shat themselves at the prospect of paying up about 10 to 1 odds. Can you imagine how many interesting headlines we could come up if a horse called 'whollymother#$&^*&#Christ' won?

Shocking, with his shocking Jockey Corey Brown, in his shocking outfit:

Trainer Mark Kavanagh kisses the Cup with winning Jockey Coery Brown:

We still can't work out if the Oaks is the most fashionest day of the year, or if it is the pickingupest most day of the year for straight men on trains...Either way there were a few horse races on as well we hear. Bart Cummings was back on the winners list again with hot favourite 'Faint Perfume' taking the VRC Oaks by a neck at Flemington. At least he got a win at the famous track, even if it wasn't the big one. Yes yes strong perfume would've been better.

Faint Perfume passes Valdemoro:

Lat but not least, 'All American' stormed home past 'So you Think' to win the Emirates Stakes. It was trainer David Hayes 6th win for this race. And who should pop up as the Jockey, wearing Richmond colours again?? Yes Corey Brown. He's having a good week ey.

Baseball....well the World series has finally concluded with the Yankees wining their 27th World Champion title. They crushed the Phillies 7-3 in the sixth game. Yes, Yes we know, a closer representation of the World should include more than America and Canada. But if you ask the Yanks that they will tell you the rest of the World would be allowed to compete if they were damn good enough!. Therefore I am happy to announce that the Geelong Cats are World Champions of AFL!....Sounds good to me.

Don't need to be a genius to know what they are saying: "Yeah Baby!":

Hideki Matsui earned the series MVP blasting a home run to the second deck in the right field. The monster hit reinforced his nickname.

MVP Matsui, aka GODZILLA!:

The World Champions of America...Does that make sense?...."hell yeah baby!"

The Phillies were outplyed and failed to win back to back titles. This had not been achieved since the Reds in 1976.

Golf......We got him!...no its not Sadam or Osama, we got Tiger!...We managed to lure him to Australia for the Masters, for the discount price of only 1 million dollars! It must be hard coming to a beautiful Country with great weather and great beaches, we should pay the poor guy.

Channel 9 will be showing the Tournament and surprise, surprise giving Eddie McGuire another gig as host. Poor Eddie, like Tiger, he's one more member of the Community sorely in need of cash.

Cricket.... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! No its not Shakira, It's Mitchell Johnson claiming 3 for 39 in an injury ridden Aussie team against India (game 6). Bollinger was pretty pumped too with an equal career best of 5 for 35!

Shane Watson was solid on 49. Indias Jadeja hit 57 and Kumar 54, but it was too late. The runs only saved the home side from total embarrassment. Not a bad effort by a team that has lost Haddin, M Clarke, Bracken, Ferguson, Hopes, Lee, Paine, Siddle, and Henriques to injury in the space of an hour!

The Howl of Victory:

AFL.... Is it a bird?..Is it a plane?...No it's an idiot. In a cape. When you're applying for a role as Coach of one of the next big AFL clubs, what should you do to establish credability? Dress up in a fricken green cape and black spandex with green undies on the outside of your clothes, I hear you cry?....

Did'nt you learn anything when applying for the Richmond job? Which from memory, didn't quite work out for you...or did it?...were you in fact spared from years of embarrassment?.....We take it all back, go get yourself some feathers and pom poms. Nobody wants a piece of Greater West who gives a rats.

Interesting Resume Sheeds:

No, no, no , no...That is about all I have to say. nathan Ablett wins a Premiership with Geelong, then claims he doesn't like footy, and wants to be a carpenter like Jesus. He waits a bit, Gary tries to talk him back to footy but fails. He then rises from the dead 2 years later to sign a deal with the Gold Coast in 2011, and instead becomes the AFL's new Judas. Check your but cheeck mate, there is a stamp on it that says 'property of Corio and the GFC'.

If that was'nt bad enough, Nathan is hoping brother Gary (Officially best player in the League) will join him at the Gold Coast Judas's... Hands off our Gary Nathan. If you want him at the Gold Coast you're gonna have to pry him from the Kung Fu grip of greater Geelong!

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.

Peace out*.
