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 [...]

The Twins are our favorite Little Team that Could (Maybe).With only the 23rd highest payroll in the majors, their just fun to root for, darn it
Sure, they lost last year’s one game playoff, against the White Sox, and thus ended up finishing second in their division.  But this year, we think, they can do it.
It’s [...]

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 [...]

This is the most completely researched article on a totally tiny part of sports that we’ve read in a long time.
It’s about hats. The hats that ball players wear, the hats that gang members wear, the hats the fashionistas wear that kind of look like those other two types.
New Era is the official maker of [...]

So, we guess we picked a bad time to start this blog.
We’re fascinated by the immediacy that the 24 hour news cycle and the advent of the internet have brought to the world of sports reporting.   (Except when our twitter feed refreshes faster than our MLB GameDay and we find out that in fact someone [...]

Talk about post-deadline differencemakers!
Pudge Rodriguez is headed back to Arlington to lend his bat and leadership to the Rangers. Rodriguez, who has been with the Astros, is batting only .251 this year in 93 games, but his veteran presence will provide depth and a soothing influence in the playoff run, where  Texas doesn’t usually find [...]

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 [...]

Josh Hamilton, the baseball player who got us thinking about addiction and drug culture in sports the other day,  spoke out wonderfully, as we think we probably mentioned.  We won’t talk your ear off repeating that, but we thought a followup was worthwhile since Hamilton’ s wife blogged publicly and at length about his addiction [...]

There’s a new batting helmet that can withstand being hit by firethrowers at their best: we’re talking 200 MpH heat.  So you’d be forgiven for thinking that it would be all but standard apparel for batters.  It is for third base coaches on the college and national levels, after a coach waas recently hit and [...]

Attendance issues are all over the place in professional sports right now.  With the economy in the tank, football playoffs, which–unlike baseball playoffs–all but automatically sell out, had trouble last year.  Nothing’s gotten any better, even though the economy shows signs of slight recovery.
