Lady Gaga and baseball a bad mix

 

Mega-weird Lady Gaga arrived at last night's Grammy Awards in some sort of giant plastic egg and sang her new hit single "Born This Way," which was disturbing to hear on so many levels.

But as I watched her -- oh, yeah, I'm big on the Grammys; loved that new guy, Bob Dylan -- all I could think of was: Just keep Gaga away from the Orioles. They don't need her Category-5 level of distraction down in Sarasota, Fla.

You may recall that Ms. Gaga has a rather turbulent record when it comes to her attendance at major league baseball games.

Last June, for instance, she talked her way past security and showed up in the New York Yankees clubhouse after their loss to the Mets, reportedly decked out in a half-buttoned Yankees jersey and bikini bottom.

I know it will shock you to know she was also reportedly intoxicated, swigging from a bottle of whiskey and fondling her chest.

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner apparently went thermonuclear when he heard about Gaga's shenanigans and permanently banned her from the team's clubhouse.

A couple of weeks earlier, the eccentric entertainer had endeared herself to Mets' fans at Citi Field by giving them the finger during a Mets-Padres game.

With the baseball season just around the corner, there's no telling where Gaga could show up next to make a spectacle of herself.

I hope it's not at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota.

Unless she gives me a heads-up so I can watch the whole thing.
