This week was a slow sports week in terms of TOTW nominees. As Jeff02 had said, he was kind of surprised that K-Rod didn’t get the nod for pounding on his girlfriends father. Then I had chimed back about the Corey Pavin-Jim Gray story that seemed to take over the PGA Championship. I have no reason to believe that Corey Pavin would have any reason to lie about the fact that Tiger Woods would probably be a top choice for the Ryder Cup team, but Gray’s contention that Pavin had told him he’d make Wood’s a wild card pick even before the Woods played out the event seems to be a bit out of character for Pavin. Meanwhile, during a heated exchange where Gray apparently poked his finger in Pavin’s chest stating he was “going down” Lisa Pavin waved her cell phone at Gray and told him it’s all right here, meaning she recorded the entire exchange. Gray has a lot of credibility issues. I’m still having a lot of trouble with this douche bag even having a press pass after the 60 minute “LeBron Infomercial”, which he was reportedly paid 6 figures to read from a script. Better known for calling out Pete Rose in the All-Star game over cheating, Gray has had always seemed to find a way to become the story rather than report it. Gray gets an honorable mention from me this week, he’s fucking tool, has been and always will be. Hey Jim, shut the fuck up!!!

Now it may be slow, but that also doesn’t mean we aren’t surrounded by Tools, we’ve had our fair share of fans recently that have walked away with the Plunger right between the yes and this week will be no different. Bo Wyble (that name is more than fitting isn’t it?) and his girlfriend Sara Saco-Vertiz attended the Astro’s – Braves game in Houston this week and took seats along the left field corner wall, it turns out these weren’t even their seats they moved up to them. Once seated Sara tells Bo - “baby, we’re going to get hit”! Bo replies in typical male bravado, “I’ll catch it if it comes this way”. I think it’s safe to say this is the answer most guys would give, I mean let’s face it, you don’t want to let your gal think you have no sac right? Well sure enough a foul ball comes directly to towards Bo and Sara and this is where Bo can flex his muscle and impress the hell out of the little blonde cutie, but what does he do? He sure as hell doesn’t make the gallant effort we’ve seen 60 year old women make at the ball game, he darts out of the way leaving Sara all alone and the ball plunks her right in the arm. You can even see where she tells this dolt, “I told you we were going to get hit! Poor Bo…Bo knows humiliation, he also has a new moniker, “The Bailer”!

You’d think things couldn’t get much worse for Bo but you’d be wrong! The pair ended up on the Early Show with Harry Smith two days later and Bo sits there and gets ripped a new one by good ole Harry! Asked if he had a brain aneurysm at the moment when he could have been a hero, Bo just kind of sits there, sure now he stays put. At the conclusion of the interview Smith asks how they’re doing, if they’re still together, and after a few umms, and an uncomfortable glare at Bo, Sara states they’re no longer together, but it didn’t have anything to do with this event. Sure, I’ll buy that when I grow hair on my palms. It certainly didn’t help his cause any that he looked like a candy ass, you’d think from watching the video that he was in Iraq and someone had just shouted “INCOMING”!!! I’m sure that Sara was not only a little embarrassed by the event, but gave some serious thought to how much he must have cared about her being he saved his own ass and left her to fend for herself, and I can see that. As for his reaction to the foul ball, I’ve never been to a ball game or watched it on TV where fouls balls are avoided, the normal move is to go towards the ball and get the souvenir. Bo doesn’t know much about baseball either I guess.

So he lost a souvenir, he lost a chance to impress his girlfriend by catching the ball that would have basically landed in his lap and in the end he lost the girl too! But don’t fret Bo, we here at the Gab have a special place in our heart for guys with no balls whatsoever, it’s called the Tool of the Week! Here, catch!
