Dallas Braden threw a perfecvt game last night. That aught to teach A-Rod a lesson about running over people’s mounds. He’ll think twice next time… unless he’s feeling lucky. Well, do you, A-Rod?
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 [...]

Dearest Grace,
I received your letter several days ago, but decided to let it’s message sink in for a while before replying. I can’t tell you how much your words meant to me. I want to let you know that I understand how you feel. I have often wondered what would happen if we were to [...]

So earlier today I said that I had been wrong in calling the Yanks/Angels series non-competitive. Then the Yankees made the Angels toss their salads on live television. CC versus Kazmir is supposed to be a good pitchers duel, which it was for the first few scoreless innings. You would have thought that CC would [...]

So now that the Yankees have advanced in the playoffs, in no small part due to the offensive production of Alex Rodriguez, can we now stop talking about how he “isn’t clutch,” or “folds under pressure,” or “can’t do it when it matters most?” Seriously, I’ve lived in New York for the entire time A-Rod [...]

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 [...]
