Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap.

Morning! Love these Recession Weekends. So glad you guys could pop-in for a little while before the snow starts. New Yorkers — brace yourselves for seven inches of fun. Speaking of seven inches of fun, the above photo shows Washington Nationals centerfielder Lastings Milledge showing off the lower-body flexibility that made him such a highly-touted prospect.

Again — good after-morning. Send me your tips or your IMs or your Gchats and let's do how we do.

Lastings Milledge, Scaring All The White Mets Fans

Leitch — Wed, 16 May 2007 15:45:05 EDT

In the annals of ridiculous Lastings Milledge photos, this one, from the New York Daily News blog, is a rather classic one: It's like if Outkast met Cliff Huxtable.

Anyway, Milledge, currently on the AAA DL, is rapping up a storm, and he's saying some of those terrible, terrible words everyone's always so worried about. In the NBA this would be no big deal, but baseball has, like, six black fans.

The Mets released a statement: "We disapprove of the content, language and message of this recording, which does not represent the views of the New York Mets."

Because when you're talking musical expertise, you're talking New York Mets.

The Lastings Milledge Ho-Down

Leitch — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 12:45:20 EDT

We've had several people ask us this morning: Hey, how about those Cardinals? Actually, a few variations on the them, a 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould type of thing.

• The Mets own you.
• The Reds caught your ass.
• Pujols is terrible and bleeds HGH out his eyes.
• Tony Larussa molests kittens.

And yes, we'd rather not talk about the sweep, or the Reds, or the fact that we have to play the damned Cubs again this weekend. We can't be mad at the Mets either; they just whupped the Cardinals, because, as we think the rest of the world is finally beginning to realize, the Cardinals are just not very good.

But we still can't let a sweep go by without retribution. Therefore, here's a picture of Mets hot prospect Lastings Milledge uh ... doing something while wearing a cowboy hat. This picture looks like a sartorial collage, actually, of really bad ideas from the last 20 years. Love the art on the wall behind him, though; beautiful.

Yes: We don't handle sweeps well.
