Mike Freeman Doesn't Like Mike & Mike

CBSsports.com columnist crushed Mike and Mike in the Mourning in his recent column. He steals the Mike and the Mad Dog nickname by calling Mike and Mike, fatso and fruit loops.

He crushed the mourning duo for their interview with Rickey Henderson. Supposedly they went to an website(fantastics.com) and ran off some quotes and lines about Henderson. He just sat there and basically took it. Here's what Freeman said Henderson whose to do to guys like them.

There was a time when you could've taken Fruit Loops by the gizzard and yanked away Fatso's cherry Pop-Tarts and shoved them down his size-60 underpants.

Why allow two jackasses to humiliate you at the end of that interview, Rickey? Why assist in helping people make you look like a fool?
Just classic lines.

Freeman is just upset because the mourning duo didn't show the appropriate respect to Henderson. While yes Henderson was a little off center, he was one of the greatest baseball players we will ever see.

They should have showed Henderson respect he deserves. I am glad though there are other people out there who don't care for Mike and Mike in the Mourning.

Rickey Thinks Rickey is the Greatest Ever

Today the writers spoke and Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

This is significant for two reasons. Rice was finally elected to the hall on his last chance on the ballot. Also the hall elected one of the biggest misogynist in the world.

Think about what Henderson's induction speech will sound like. I can just here Henderson now speaking in the third person, and this is what it might sound like:

- Rickey is the greatest player ever.
- Rickey is the greatest hitter ever.
- Rickey looks good up here doesn't he?
- Rickey doesn't take a back seat to anyone.

These could all be possible subjects Henderson talks about.

I remember a great story Tony Gwynn once told on the Jim Rome Show about Henderson. While they were teammates with the San Diego Padres, Henderson was offered a seat anywhere on the bus because he has tenure.

And Rickey quickly responded with this gem, "Ten years? What are you talking about? Rickey got 16, 17 years."

Then there is the great story of Henderson being so proud of a $1 million dollar check he framed the entire check, thus losing the interest on it.

These are just some of the great stories about Rickey Henderson, and I hope he talks about them all.

Until then, congratulations to both Henderson and Rice.
