Bode Miller can now fail at baseball

The same guy who won as many medals in the 2006 Winter Olympics as Charlie Sheen has Oscars is now heading from the black diamond to the baseball diamond. (See that last thing about black diamond and baseball diamond? It's using a skiing reference and a baseball reference. There are many professional writers who get paid for coming up with clever shit like that).
Bode Miller, more famous for his diet of beer, tequila and 16-year-olds than for his athleticism, is making his way to the baseball field. Miller signed a one-year deal with the Nashua (N.H.) Pride of the independent CanAm League Monday, which is about 27 steps away from actual baseball. The article does not mention what position Miller will play, but he seems like he'd be an Armando Benitez type -- a high-profile guy with a big salary, lots of blown saves and the hatred of the fans.
As for the picture -- courtesy of those wacky fellas over at Deadspin -- well, let's just say Bode hasn't been seen with girls like that since his shutout in the Olympics. On second thought, these are exactly the girls (or perhaps transvestite) he's been hanging out with since.
Yeah, Bode Miller. Baseballer.
