After last night’s blown call with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th of a perfect game by Armando Galarraga, umpire Jim Joyce ruined an extremely rare event in baseball history. There had never been 3 perfect games in one season, let alone in one month, and now that is still the case because [...]
Wow. We’ve gone over how dumb Steve Phillips is, and then how, even while discussing how incredibly stupid he is, he blows you away with something even dumber. Well, yesterday Steve Phillips decided to top even the most moronic things he’s ever said or done. He really wanted to just set the record straight that [...]
Last night, Hanley Ramirez was benched after he decided not to hustle in chasing after a ball he booted, even though doing so allowed two runs to score. When asked why he didn’t run hard, Hanley said, “I’m Hanley Ramirez, bitch.” He later told manager Freddy Gonzalez, “Fuck your bench, Freddy! Fuck your bench!” Ramirez [...]

His response? That the game shouldn’t be moved because baseball has such a [...]
Woo hoo! The Cubs called up 20 year old prodigy shortstop Starlin Castro today. He’s totally going to save our franchise and lead us to the promised land, where we’ll all live happily ever after. I heard one time he slayed a giant, then feasted his on golden goose and magic beans before taking the [...]
While I didn’t get to see it since I was blind drunk all weekend at Mark Twan’s wedding, apparently there was some pretty exciting baseball this weekend. In honor of that, here is another installment of Great Moments in Trash-Talking:
It was July, 2004. A-Rod, like many who join the Yankees, was struggling to adjust to [...]
From The Sporting Blog, here is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in baseball: A Fordham player diving head first over the catcher to score a run and avoid getting tagged out.
Brace yourselves for this one , Cubs fans: The Cubs are not gonna win it this year. Whoa! I know, shocking, right? But seriously, even though the Cubs have a long tradition of winning, and addressed all of their problems this year, they are somehow going to end up being a bad team. If only [...]
