Coco Crisp Gets Creamed By Spiderman

When it comes to pies in the face...I'm not a big fan.

When it comes to Oakland A's outfielder Josh Reddick dressing up as Spiderman and delivering not one, but TWO pies in the face?  Count.  Me.  In.

I mean, what else would you expect from the guy who proudly displays this hardware?

Welcome Back Fro-Co Crisp!

After a week away from Twitter...Oakland A's outfielder Coco Crisp was back Saturday night with a message for all:

Come get your froco on with me tomorrow. Legs feeling good and the fro's gunna be in full effect!

Yes!

You might remember a couple of weeks ago when Covelli channeled his inner Oscar Gamble and made my friend Dan Epstein (author of the great Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging '70s)

Unfortunately, that version of the "fro-co" only lasted a day, so who knows how long this re-incarnation will survive.

My hope is that it stick around long enough to get its own bobblehead.

Hell Yeah, Covelli. Hell. Yeah.

When Coco Crisp, then just 26, left Cleveland for Boston...I was one of the guys who thought that a new Red Sox legend was going to emerge. 

Unfortunately...I was wrong.

The speedster has been more flash than substance.  His actions of late have been suspect and, if you follow his Twitter feed...you've gotta wonder if the cat isn't just a little bit distracted.

Thursday night, the Oakland A's outfielder won me over.

Looking like someone right off the cover of Dan Epstein's great book Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging '70s,  Crisp did his best Oscar Gamble impersonation and broke out the afro.

We'll all have to wait and see what Crisp will do with his hair next, but you know what my hope is.

Nothing.

Coco Crisp...the Update

The other day, the internet exploded after Oakland Athletics outfielder Coco Crisp posted his desire for an assistant on Craigslist.

Hi. My name is Covelli Crisp (Coco Crisp), i am a professional baseball player. Looking for a live-in personal assistant (Female) that can help simplify my life.

And in case people were curious if it was legit, Crisp took to Twitter and posted the following:

FYI: The Craigs List post for the PA position is real

So here we are a little more than a day later and the job...gone. Was it something I said?

Perhaps the job has been filled. Perhaps Crisp's wife figured out that her husband was online looking to spend $40K for a slam piece.

I guess we'll never know.

Coco Crisp Needs Your Help!

Are you a female in the Redondo Beach/Rancho Mirage, California area looking for a job?

If you're reading this...probably not.  But stick with me.

According to a post on Craigslist, Oakland outfielder Coco Crisp looking to shell out $40,000 a year for a "personal assistant".

Here's the job posting:

Hi. My name is Covelli Crisp (Coco Crisp), i am a professional baseball player. Looking for a live-in personal assistant (Female) that can help simplify my life.

I'm not sure why Crisp is looking for someone to help him simplify his life given he's missed more games (close to 200) than he has played (124) over the last two seasons, but hey, if you can pull it off...go for it.

Anyway, if you're a female (and, yes, that is specifically what the married Crisp is looking for) and can help the 31 year-old speedster with scheduling his appointments and bill payment, personal shopping and dinner reservations...here's the job for you!
