In order to pump interest in its annual baseball franchise, 2K Sports is offering a $1 million prize to the first person that can throw a perfect game in the upcoming title MLB 2K10. The window to complete the challenge is March 2 (the release date for the game) through May 1, 2010. The perfect game must take place in a specific game mode that will release with the game. The rules also stipulate that you have a video recording of your game in its entirety. The results will be verified by the good people at Twin Galaxies.
I’m not sure what’s sadder to me about this promotion. The fact that the youth of today is more likely to gets tendinitis in their thumbs from a video game controller instead of scraped knees and tight hammy’s on a real baseball field, or that some 8 year old gaming wizard is going to make $1 million dollars long before I do.Â

Lincecum Nabbed for Pot Possession
 SEATTLE– San Francisco Giants star pitcher Tim Lincecum is facing misdemeanor marijuana charges following a traffic stop in his home state. A Washington State Patrol spokesman said Thursday that the 2008 Cy Young Award winner was pulled over for speeding on Interstate 5 in the town of Hazel Dell, about four miles north of the Oregon border, on Oct. 30. An officer approached Lincecum’s 2006 Mercedes and smelled marijuana as the pitcher rolled down his window. Lincecum immediately complied with a request to hand over the drug and a marijuana pipe from the car’s center console. He was fined a total of $622 for driving at 74 mph in a 60 mph zone, and for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Both are misdemeanors. The 25-year-old All-Star starter entered a plea of not guilty through his attorney on Monday.
 When you have an ERA under 2.50, strike out over 260 batters in a season, and are nicknamed the “Freak” because of your unparalleled athletic ability, I feel you’re allowed to drive your Mercedes a little fast with a bit of ganja in the console. Hell, when you’re this good you could probably get away with smoking some crack from a Meister Bräu beer can while driving around your submarine erratically. I would love to know where Timmy gets his Mary Jane from because he just looks like a filthy hippie who can get his hands on some good shit.
