Gaga Takeover

Lady Gaga is just pissing off people in the baseball world these days.



Exhibit One: two weeks ago the Mets let her watch the game from Jerry Seinfield’s luxury box during their game vs. the Padres. First of all – she showed up at a sporting event wearing nothing but a leather jacket and a bikini. (insert eye roll here) I don’t care who you are – that’s never ok. She then proceeded to give the bird to fans trying to take her picture.



Exhibit Two: Lady headed to Yankee stadium and crashed the clubhouse. I think this might be the only time in history that any man has been less than thrilled to be greeted by a tall, blonde woman in nothing but a bra, underwear and sports jersey. Why were they pissed? Well, besides the fact that they had just lost the game, they had to wait to finish speaking with press, who wasn’t allowed to enter until Gaga exited.

Gaga, I love you, but baseball isn’t Hollywood, and you’re not Lindsay Lohan. Put on some clothes and get a grip on yourself, woman – you’re embarrassing yourself. (Not to mention, pick a NY team and do your roots some justice: you’re from Manhattan after all).

Just as an afterthought, I really hope Gags wasn’t shocked by her less-than-warm welcome in both stadiums. These are baseball fans, not paparazzi. They don’t think 2-foot tall hair and rhinestone nipples are cute. Those fans weren’t taking your picture because you are Lady Gaga – they were taking your picture because they found it hysterical someone actually went in public, to a baseball game nonetheless, half-dressed and looking like the morning after. On one hand I feel slightly bad ripping her shit, but on the other, homegirl was asking for it.

Former Mets Pitcher Catches More Charges

Dwight Gooden

On Tuesday, Dwight "Dr. K" Gooden, was charged with both driving under the influence of drugs and leaving the scene of an accident. While Police remain hush-hush about who the child in the car was or what substances were in question, this is not Dr. K's first run in with the law. Prior to ending his career as a result of debt and drug and alcohol use, he had faced a number of charges from from driving with a suspended license to open container to battery. Over the course of his career, Gooden pitched for both the New York Mets and Yankees as well as Cleveland, Houston and Tampa Bay.

The driver of the other car told police that Gooden shook his hand and seemed surprised when he recognized the former baseball pitcher... Which brings up my question: how did he catch a charge of leaving the scene of an accident if he obviously got out of the car and had time to chat it up with the other driver? Then what? He hopped back into his dented up ride and sped off when the other person obviously knew who he was? Either Gooden was just that messed up at the time, or something else is being left out of the story.
