Boy, it must suck to be Barry Zito right about now. Only a few years ago Zito was the talk of the baseball — a 23 game winner in 2002 who had always shown himself to be a quality starter — and now, in 2008, he’s done something that hasn’t been done by… by… *sigh* […]
There are few moments in sports that are truly scary. A NASCAR driver doing flip after flip after flip at 180mph, a NHL player getting slashed across the throat with a skate, and a batter getting drilled in the bean by a 100mph fastball immediately come to mind. But what about the umpire?
If you […]
Two years ago Francisco Liriano was it. At least, he was it if you asked a Minnesota Twins fan, and while his 37 major league starts may not be too many to judge on, I’m going to judge anyways: Liriano is a bust.
That’s not to say he was always a bust — after 2006 […]
If you haven’t heard this gem, get this: Joe Girardi has banned candy, ice cream, and any other kind of sweets from any Yankees consumption. Why? Why the hell not!
According to reports (and there are more than a few), Girardi has contacted every major league team on the Yankees 2008 schedule and asked them that […]
By the time I came of age to realize what was going on in the world around me, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner had pretty much become docile. I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to experience Steinbrenner in all of his pre-ban glory. It is for this reason that I am thankful for Hank Steinbrenner, […]
If you don’t live in or near Toronto (or listen to six hours of ESPN Radio a day, like I do) then I won’t blame you for not knowing that the Toronto Blue Jays released 19-year veteran Frank Thomas after yet another early season slump. People around baseball, as well as Toronto Blue Jay fans, […]
Look, I love watching a baseball game go into extra innings as much as the next guy, but last night’s affair with the Padres and Rockies was just ridiculous. Last season I sat through every pitch of a Tigers/Yankees game that lasted until 3:32am EDT, after starting at 11:00pm the previous day. That game was […]
Prince, let’s you and I have a talk. I understand that you’re wanting to trim some of that excess weight, and I can respect that. I understand that you don’t want to eat meat anymore, and I can respect that… even if I don’t understand it. But let’s face facts here: You’re not hitting.
In […]
Now before everybody goes crazy, misinterpreting the title of this, let me just clear something up: I’m not saying he was the best to ever play the game. That debate can rage on for all time, though personally you’re wrong if you say anybody else but Mickie Mantle (I kid… or do I?). I am […]
[IMAGE: Don’t get me started with the “images” fiasco. Just use your imagination for today. It’ll be healthy for you.]
You know, the colossal kick-in-the-pants that Jim Leyland gave the Tigers before tonight’s game against the Twins couldn’t have come at a better time. They had been outscored in their previous two games (against the Chicago […]
