You could argue that this story isn’t strictly a sports story, and I would argue, who cares, it’s my blahg and I get to choose the stories. Despite all evidence from last night, this is NOT a democracy. So, here are some photos from what appears to be a lively softball game between the Grand [...]


Dmitri Young, MLB’s 2007 Comeback Player of the Year has been outrighted to the Washington Nationals’ AAA team in Syracuse today. Baseball without da Meathook just doesn’t make sense. Young, who has overcome being diagnosed with diabetes, as well as suffering through playing two seasons (well, parts of 2 seasons) for the Nationals deserves better. [...]


Jeff Kent showed Monday that his redneck mustache isn’t just a look, but a lifestyle when he donated $15,000 to fight the gay marriage proposition on the ballot in California. Kent, who makes his permanent home in Texas apparently feels VERY strongly that the gays shouldn’t be messing with his America. I’m especially intrigued because [...]

Immediately after the Phillies won the World Series up comes the commercials for crap from MLB and Sports Illustrated that Phillies fans MUST own. Sure, you might be a fan if you buy a championship t-shirt or hat, but that’s not the way to show you’re a TRUE phan; that would be by bidding on [...]


In case you’ve ever wondered what a $27.5 million dollar salary buys in terms of apartments in New York City, here are some photos of Alex Rodriguez’ pad. Looks classy. Except for that horse painting, that seems uber-lame and cliche. Keep in mind this house is basically the same as my spot in Brooklyn… sigh.

“I know there are people out there that think I’m a jerk. There are people out there who think I’m a wife-beater. That will never change,” says Phillies pitcher Brett Myers, referring to the 2006 incident in which he was arrested and charged in Boston with assaulting his wife, Kim. THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A FUCKING [...]


The weather is expected to continue getting worse and worse tonight and MLB has already canceled the game for tonight, with play expected to resume on Wednesday. Wow.


Now I don’t generally like to provide free viral advertising, I’m much more likely to post something if it has someone like Marissa Miller involved. So here’s a new ad for some Remington razor something or other,who cares featuring Miller and Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun. What matters is Marissa Miller. What matters more is [...]


In 1999 I saw a sneak preview of Office Space at the Copley Mall movie theater. There were about 10 people in the theater and my friend and I managed to sit in front of a GIGANTIC fat man who guffawed and hooted throughout the entire movie, making pithy comments like “totally!” and making it [...]


According to anonymous reports in the Daily News there is a half-decent chance that this World Series might be the last work we see out of Joe Morgan on ESPN. Gloriously mustachioed Bob Raissman reports that his embedded sources tell him that Morgan and possibly also Jon Miller, will be removed from the Sunday Night [...]


At what point does taking Ryan Howard out of the field and putting him as the DH NOT make sense? I mean, he’s a goddamn BUTCHER out there and I have to believe that someone, ANYONE on their roster is a better first baseman than he is. Then he could spend all of his downtime [...]
