Chase "Cee" Utley Going From G to Gent

OK. Maybe not Chase, but according to Matt P. at The 700 Level it could be his ugly brother. Good enough for me.

Ladies Love Bad Boys

Chase Utley's new badass persona only makes him more desirable.

Keep Chasing him, ladies.

$16. Cheap.

Alyssa Milano Up to Her Old Groupie-Like Antics?

Look out Jennifer. While the ballplayer-loving bombshell will be at the Park tomorrow pimping her MLB ladies-wear, she noted yesterday that she can't wait to see her some "hottie" Chase Utley at the All-Star game next week.

Ahh! To be a lame duck.

Let's talk comedy and baseball...

From today's LA Times:

Speaking with Mike Allen, chief political writer of Politico.com, Bush covered an eclectic collection of topics -- including the erroneous intelligence that formed part of the foundation of his case for invading Iraq, his choices for building a top-dollar baseball team, and his rating of the comedians cast as him and his father on NBC's "Saturday Night Live." (He chose Dana Carvey's George H.W. Bush over Will Ferrell's George W. Bush.)

Say what you will about the Leader of the Free World, the man knows his baseball:

As for his baseball pick, his first choice to build a team is Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies. "There's nothing better than having a good person up the middle that can hit," said Bush, a former part-owner of the Texas Rangers.

From the transcript of the interview at Politico:

Q Mr. President, I know you're going to hate this, but I'm hoping that we may twist your arm and talk about baseball for just a moment. (Laughter.) Mr. President, you're a Major League Baseball team owner again. Everyone is a free agent. You have a Yankees-like wallet. Who is your first position player? Who's your pitcher?

THE PRESIDENT: That's a great question. I like Ottley from the Philadelphia Phillies. He's a middle infielder, which is always -- you know, they say you have strength up the middle -- there's nothing better than having a good person up the middle that can hit. And Roy Halladay from the Toronto Blue Jays is a great pitcher. He's a steady guy, he burns up innings. And I'm sure I'm leaving some other good ones out, but those --

Q We thought you were going to go A-Rod, Josh Beckett.

THE PRESIDENT: Josh Beckett is good, yes, he's real good, too. I mean, look, that's a tough question to answer on the fly like this, Michael.
