OK, she only pitched batting practice.
Justine Siegal, who was already the first woman to coach a professional baseball team (The Brockton (MA) Rox, recently in the news for giving Bill Bucker a job managing, pitched batting practice yesterday for the Indians’ camp.  She confessed to being nervous, called herself an old lady…and still made manager [...]

She claims to be a Yankees fan, but who knows whether she even knows baseball? What we do know is that she talked her way past security and teased the hell out of a bunch of Yankees players after Friday night’s game, wearing a bikini bottom and unbuttoned jersey and “fondling her chest,” according to [...]

TBS is a little new to this whole showing-baseball thing.  Sure, they’ve shown Braves games forever, but the whole playoff viewing experience with them leaves something to be desired.
Last year, for example, one game didn’t go live until the second inning.  Instead, they were showing an episode of the Ed Harvey show.  (We assume someone [...]

There is, as Dane Cook would have you know, only one October….and it’s pretty much upon us.  Look for lots of baseball analysis and liveblogs.
For now, a bit of updated playoff analysis.
Clinched
The Yankees have clinched the division title, but playoff questions remain.  Specifically, after you start C.C. Sabathia, then what happens? A.J. Burnett has been [...]

Baseball cards, baseball cards.
OK, dying industry.  Only Topps remains of the licensed manufacturers, so maybe we’re hopping on this boat kind of late.
But we always wanted to collect baseball cards, and we were inspired by running into a kid the other day who seems to have a college fund in a binder.  Joe Girardi rookie [...]

We can only go so long without a little baseball analysis, so here’s our take on all the post-trade-deadline deals MLB has seen recently.  Either we’re playing better attention, or there’s more going on this year post-deadline, and some of it might make a difference….
Alex Gonzalez to the Red Sox
The struggling Sox’ current best defensive [...]

Dude. Bronson Arroyo, Reds starting pitcher,  just doesn’t give a…well..a…”care.”  If “care” began with *f*.
He just wants you to know, and that’s why he told USA Today he’s been taking supplements since age 5–up to 20 different kinds a day–and half of them aren’t on the approved list and NOBODY FREAKIN’ CARES.
He brings up an [...]

We’re back to do it again for the NL.  See what you think of our picks, and feel free to sound off in the comments.

Well, the All-Star break is over–long over, if you’re a team like the Red Sox, whose momentum has suddenly shifted.  Races are heating up almost universally, and it’s time to start talking playoffs. There is, after all, only one October.

People make fun of statheads, and sometimes it makes sense.  When we hear that this is only the fourth time since 1972 that a guy wearing number 10 got a two out double in the eighth inning off a left handed hitter in a day game in August after striking out twice in the game, [...]

Every week, UPH will look at one confusing thing in sports, and figure it out.  It will then become Stuff We Didn’t Used to Get.  If you’ve got something you want us to investigate, drop us a line.
What the heck does the trade deadline even mean, anyway?  It just happened on July 31st, yet MLB [...]

Livejournal, or as those in the know call it, LJ, has recently started posting a feature they call Writer’s Block.  A recent one pointed out to us by a dear friend, combines tween pop culture and America’s pastime:
“Imagine you manage a coven of baseball-playing vampires. The Cullen family is really strong this year and you [...]
