« Previous EntriesGriffey to the Chisox Is a Beautiful Thing
Thursday, July 31st, 2008It looks like my October rooting options might not be limited to whoever is playing the Red Sox and/or Yankees. Griffey, after being traded to the White Sox today, will get at least one more chance at a ring — an opportunity he hasn’t had since leading the M’s to the playoffs 11 years ago. [...]
JaVale McGee’s Model Game Is Too Raw
Thursday, July 31st, 2008J.E. Skeets offers his perverse view of the NBA’s annual rookie photo shoot (the Ryan Anderson one kills me), and Wizards rookie LaVale I mean JaVale McGee A.K.A. The Vale of Cashmere doesn’t make the director’s cut. So here he is with his freakishly long arms in the clouds, followed by another of him and [...]
The Only Thing Michael Wilbon Hates More Than Sports Bloggers Is Pants
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008I’m fully aware that TV anchors often wear shorts, jeans, PJs, nothing at all, etc. under the desk. But seeing Wilbon’s chicken legs in boat shoes kicking around under the uncovered PTI desk every time they went to the wide angle today was strangely hilarious:
And, to answer your question, no, Manny will not be traded. [...]
Giambi Gives B-Rob the Finger, the Middle
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008I thought the only highlights from Baltimore’s win over New York last night were Huff increasing his trade value and Cabrera plunking A-Rod, but Big League Stew (via Mr. Irrelevant reader Steve Whitman) caught this:
“Tell me someone say Giambi blatantly flick off B-Rob after getting a single over the shift last night, then give a [...]
Fantasy Sports Girl Is a FanHouse Mess
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008With Alana Nguyen A.K.A. Miss Gossip leaving just weeks after assuming leadership, I’m not sure who’s running the show at FanHouse, but they’re running it into the ground.
Case in point, AOL’s new partnership with Fantasy Sports Girl. The ladies of FSG are video blogging on FanHouse, delivering advice and skin free of charge. Not only [...]
Cooley’s Fantasy File Commercial Is Lame
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008If I’m directing the Fantasy File commercial for Chris Cooley, I’m delivering something deserving of one of the NFL’s top personalities and pass-catching tight ends. Something like him snagging Jason Campbell laser beams with one hand while enjoying a beverage with the other. This is not that:
The problem is this is obviously fake, whereas those [...]
Shhh … Narcoleptic Adam Jones Is Dreaming of Hitting Grand Slams
Monday, July 28th, 2008In spite of the O’s being 11 games back and slow to deal Aubrey Huff (21 HR) and/or George Sherrill (30 SV), it provides great pleasure to see them win in New York. Hell, it’s probably because they’re dead at the deadline that tonight’s 13-4 win bring me such joy, but either way.
Jeremy Guthrie got [...]
Um, Ryan, What’s So Funny?
Monday, July 28th, 2008We were first introduced to Ryan Zimmerman’s “blog” back in the beginning of May, and promptly found good reason to mock it: He writes like a grade-school-girl all hopped up on Hannah Montana. In other words, he’s unnecessarily excitable. His latest post — from last Wednesday — is no exception. Here’s the last graph:
We have [...]
Free Agent Chad Morton Takes in Redskins Camp From the Sidelines
Friday, July 25th, 2008Thanks to friend of Mr. Irrelevant Britt (aka Big Breezy) who attended training camp today — along with the youngest Mottram — and came back with this glorious sighting:
Somehow, I think this is actually worse than the Health Shuler sighting from earlier in the week. At least Shuler was, for a brief time, expected to [...]
So Long, RedLasso … For Now, At least
Friday, July 25th, 2008Anyone who enjoys sports, blogs, moving pictures, freedom and just generally sticking it to The Man will not like this one bit: RedLasso is closing up shop. This comes after being sued by FOX and NBC earlier this week. RedLassoers received an email today from Gil Edwards, who I suspect is the company’s only actual [...]
