Maddux Would Sink Every Cup

Fanhouse is reporting that a bunch of guys at a bar engaged Joba and Giambi in a game of beer pong. As always, the Yankees lost.

Usually, when I imagine playing beer pong against famous people, it is against basketball players. Or Keira Knightley. But that one's one-on-one.

But I digress. I never though about playing beer pong against baseball players, but it makes so much sense, especially if you're playing pitchers. Hell, David Wells could probably school anybody in beer pong. And in flip cup, chugging, marathoning, case races, eating contests and just about any other test of excess that exists.

But what about other, less obvious players? Chuck Knoblauch probably tosses the ball off the porch, on the fly. Steve Trachsel never plays, because no one will partner with him on account of how long he takes to shoot. Same with Wade Boggs, who won't stop eating to play, unless it is against women. Cal Ripken will play beer pong every day, much to everyone's detriment. Why do you think Tony Gwynn is that size and shape?

Curt Schilling would be That Guy Who Just Won't. Stop. Talking. Carl Everett doesn't believe in beer pong. Nobody would play Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, because they adamantly deny that they're leaning, even though they clearly are.

And, of course, Manny Ramirez would kill on the first three cups, then fake an injury, then hold his breath until he turns blue, then forget what he's playing, then would start missing on purpose until his teammate kicks him off and then go pair up with another team and sink five in a row.
