Follow up: Vlad Guerrero

So a couple of days ago I wrote about just how good Vladimir Guerrero is, both as a five tool player, and as a threat at the plate to hit for a high average with power and be able to hit any ball from his neck to his shoe tops or in on his hands [...]

Vick: “I’m Eager to Play Football and Not to Strangle, Hang, Drown, or Electrocute Dogs.”

Michael Vick has signed a one-year $1.6 million dollar contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, with an option for a second year at $5.2 million, and a potential $3 million in performance-based incentives. He might not get to play until midway through the year, and even then, it’s unsure what role he will play with [...]

Vlad the Impaler

I know I’m a day or so late on this one, but I had to speak up.  Vladimir Guererro recently joined one of the most exclusive clubs in the long history of baseball.  By hitting his 400th homer, Vlad joined Babe Ruth, Lou Gherig, Ted Williams, Jimmy Foxx, and Stan Musial as the only men [...]

I Went To Yankee Stadium, And All I Got Was This Lousy Post…

…and a great win from my team. Yep, last night I went to the cathedral “House ThatNew York Taxpayers Built” and I’ve got a few things to say about it:

Rick Porcello: Boy, Man or BEAST?

As I’m sure you’ve seen or heard, Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello body slammed Kevin Youkilis in the second inning of Tuesday night’s game in Boston.
I didn’t see it as it happened— I was listening to my Gameday Audio. Naturally, MLB.com has conveniently avoided posting it as a game highlight on their web site. I [...]

Kenny Williams Has a Gambling Problem

It’s universally understood that Kenny Williams is a good GM.  He rutinely rescues valuable players from the scrapheap, makes bold trades, and basically pulls out every trick in the book to keep his team in contention every year.  But I think he’s gone mad with power.   We get it Kenny, you grabbed Scott Podsednik after [...]

Fuck Bud Adams

I dropped my trousers, rested my loins upon the somewhat sanitary toilet, and gazed at the front page of the Houston Chronicle sports section in disbelief. The Tennessee Titans were shown in throwback Houston Oilers uniforms to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the American Football League. My heart sunk just as yesterday’s stir-fry [...]

Ye Olde Timey Softball Game

This weekend I got invited by a friend of mine to sub in on his company softball team.  Being who I am, I took this as an opportunity to bring some olde school flavor to the Central Park league.  I dusted off a vintage baseball uniform that I bought as a Halloween costume two years [...]

My Take on Ortiz, A-Rod, and PED’s

I am an unabashed fan of the Boston Red Sox and David Ortiz. If you are not a fan of the team than you can have no idea what David Ortiz as a player means to his fans. It is with that said that I feel like I have to believe his words from his [...]

My Douchebag Cheater Is Better Than Yours

I’m a Yankees fan. I love the Red Sox. Yeah, that’s right. Soak it in. I know that team better than any other team aside from the Yankees. I lived in Boston in 2004 (FUCK!) and I watched almost all of their games that season. I need them. I need the 5.5 hour match-ups with [...]
