Saturday, October 18th, 2008As of 1:40PM today, this was the front page of The Post’s site:
AWKWARD!
Ben, who sent us the tip, claims this is at least the fourth time WaPo has made this mistake. The Rays are about to play in Game 6 of the ALCS tonight and the Post still doesn’t know they dropped the “Devil” part […]
Manny Ramirez Is a Clean-Cut Young Man
Friday, October 3rd, 2008After a torrid two months to close the regular season in L.A., Manny has a homer in each of the first two games of Dodgers-Cubs. And as bad as I feel about that for Cubs fans, I can’t help but be happy for the guy who has been knocking the cover off the ball and […]
Pithily Ranking All 8 MLB Playoff Teams
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008This list is excerpted as part of a group effort over at Yahoo!’s Big League Stew, and the others in the group actually know shit about baseball, so you should just go there now.
1. Red Sox: Kevin Youkilis’ batting stance bothers me so much, as does every fiber of Jonathan Papelbon’s being. Still, they score […]
Jim Thome Is Thin and Not Very Powerful
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008Game 163 was classic, especially for those pulling for The Kid, and the big blast that was the difference came off the bat of one Jim Thome. It may prove to be the signature moment of a HOF career, which saw him begin as a slim third baseman and “lefthanded hitter with average power.” Ah […]
Bloggers Are Going Bat-Shit in the Bronx
Monday, July 14th, 2008It’s tough deciding which blogger-in-the-Bronx is doing a better job so far: Chris Mottram for The Sporting Blog or Kevin Kaduk for Big League Stew. Both work for big media, so each is afforded the opportunity to go to New York, and both are directly connected to yours truly, so each is of the lowest […]
Sherrill Cements Meathook All-Star Status
Friday, July 11th, 2008Closers generally have an ERA under 3.00, and good ones are well below that. George Sherrill, after last night’s blown save in Toronto (his sixth of the season), is headed to the All-Star Game at 4.12.
What an embarrassment. Not so much to baseball or to the Sherrills, but to Baltimore. They’re not a bad team […]
I Love You, Ken Griffey, Jr.
Friday, June 6th, 2008What? Another man can’t profess his love for another male without everyone assuming he’s gay or something? Fine then, I admit it, I’m a big gaylord for Junior. Like a good Catholic boy, my love affair for an older man started when I was a young boy (note: not Catholic. I think divorce and abortion […]
Meet the World’s Most Literal Brewers Fan
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Upon seeing Milwaukee play the D.C. nine, it can be said that the Brewers join the Wizards as teams that should certainly go back to their old colors. It was evident throughout the Park as the vast majority of visiting fans wore vintage Brew Crew Blue, with this guy serving as Milwaukee’s finest:
What follows […]
