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 [...]
Hi everyone, and welcome to our first installment of Great Moments in Trash Talking. In honor of baseball finally being in full swing, pun intended, I thought I’d tell you the story of my favorite piece of trash talking in baseball’s greatest rivalry.
It was August 1, 1973 and the Yankees were playing the Red Sox. [...]

The baseball off-season has been slow to develop, unless your team was already awesome. The Yanks got Granderson; the Sawx got Lackey and Mike Cameron; the Phillies traded one ace to Seattle (Lee) for another from Toronto (Halladay); the Angels got Matsui; the Mets will probably land Jason Bay; the Cardinals are desperate to re-sign [...]

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 [...]

Grace Dunkley-Asphall is a poet and writer who I happened to work with a few years ago. Since we both run our own blogs, we decided to do a swap in which we would post on each other’s sites. Here is Grace’s entry for TOF. Stay tuned for part II when I post a rebuttal [...]

The New York Yankees haven’t won a World Series in nine hours. George Steinbrenner rose from his sarcophagus early this morning furious that his team hadn’t won any more championships while he was sleeping. He immediately called Brian Cashman and woke him up to scream at him about the Yankees need to win a 28th [...]

Phillies’ manager Charlie Manual announced his starting pitchers for game 6 and 7 of the World Series: Cliff Lee. The Phillies’ ace is coming off a game 5 win on Monday, after pitching a complete-game win in game 1, and will be coming off a two day rest and zero day rest between his next [...]

Yes, Johnny Damon became famous as one of the key guys on a team that bragged about being a bunch of idiots. Yes, he married a stripper who he started dating because his friend Derek Lowe, who was nailing her at the time, said “Dude, you have to sleep with this chick. It’s awesome!” But [...]

Good morning , Bud Selig. Did you sleep well? I f#cking hope not. Your playoffs have been a joke, with at least 7 horrendous calls that easily could have been overturned with instant replay. But you don’t want instant replay because you’re a baseball “purist.” Really? Where was your baseball purity when you turned a [...]

I think I covered all the cheesy puns that will appear on sports pages this morning. News papers are predictable. Maybe THAT’s why they’re going out of business, because they use puns as headlines. Anyway, Cliff Lee pitched one of the great games in World Series History last night. It would have been a shutout [...]
