Hopefully all the Black Friday whack jobs are either done with their Christmas shopping or behind bars… so it’s safe for me to start my trips to the mall. Here is what I hope to get for Christmas this year!
-I want to see Alabama and LSU to play the most BORING game in the history [...]
The LA Dodgers are currently up for bid, and the names looking to buy the franchise are quite noticeable. Magic Johnson as well as Mark Cuban are the biggest names out there, and as a fan of baseball, I think they would both make great additions to the owner ranks. But who would be the [...]

Major League Baseball is a capitalistic, for-profit enterprise in which private owners try to do two things: 1) make money off their ball club and 2) win world championships. The order of importance of these two items depends on which owners and teams you are talking about.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Major League Baseball [...]
The shriveled up geezers from back in the day always said “act like you’ve been there before.”
After hitting a walk-off single that advances the Brewers into the next round of the NL playoffs, Nyjer Morgan jumped around and screamed like he won the Super Bowl. Could you imagine Willie Mays acting like that after winning an NLDS series? Of [...]
Major league baseball needs to seriously reevaluate their ridiculous best-of-5 playoff format in the Division Series.
Teams play a grueling 162 game schedule (which is probably too-long but that’s for another rant) to determine playoff match-ups and home field advantage, and their reward is a playoff series in a best-of-5 format in which the better team loses [...]
Well…it is official. Miami has become the capital of douchebaggery in the world of sports.
Whether you are a Prima-donna rat, a Kardashian boning Heisman cheater, or the most annoying manager in baseball history, Miami is just the place to be!
It was announced last night that former White Sox manager, Ozzie Guillen, has been traded to the Marlins for 2 [...]
Of all sports, it seems baseball players get injured in the weirdest ways. This time, the injury curse caught up with San Francisco Giants lefty Jeremy Affeldt.
You’ve been there. The grill is heated up, friends are hungry and you’re ready to cook these babies up. But those goddamn frozen hamburger patties never separate easily. You’ve tried [...]
Poor Nails. He goes through life like a bulldozer.
I loved having him on my fantasy baseball team in the early 90s. He hit for average, scored a lot of runs and stole a few bases too. His style of play always had people reminiscing of ole Pete Rose.
Now we get to see just what that [...]
Let’s face it, Jim Thome is the epitome of what we all strive to be. He’s hard working, humble, successful, driven and most important of all, happy.
We’ve been watching Thome hit the living s**t out of the ball for two decades, with little to no fanfare. His “chase” to 600 has been one of the [...]
I (kind of) know what this kid is going through. Having grown up an enormous Ken Griffey, Jr. fan, I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to have him personally hand me a ball. Even to this day, I’m sure a little bit of my childhood giddiness would still come out.
But this kid’s [...]
Today was not a good day to be a fan of Cleveland baseball.
In what was possibly unprecedented in professional baseball history (Elias, I’m lookin’ at you), both the Cleveland Indians and local Frontier League team, the Lake Erie Crushers, were no-hit today.
Both games were played in Cleveland. Although the Crushers are not affiliated with the [...]
Outfielder Jayson Werth was a hot commodity last off-season, and the Washington Nationals thought they got an elite player when they signed the former Phillie to a 7-year, $126 million dollar contract. What they have instead is a $10 million scrub, hitting .219 with 10 homers and 35 RBIs.
To celebrate such ineptitude, and to give [...]
