You Will Never Think Of The Drew Brothers The Same Way Again

Rick Chandler — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:30:46 EDT

I've heard of Star Trek slash fiction, and Starsky & Hutch ... even Harry Potter. But baseball's Drew brothers? Why, Jesus? No, I don't have all the answers. But I would like to point out that the author at Live Journal is not twisted and sick, as one might expect. He's just a misunderstood artist trying to find his voice in a world that doesn't take fiction seriously. This anonymous fabulist has the same dreams as a young Hemingway or Steinbeck: To get a story into print. Well, that, and to have sloppy, primitive sex with a Drew brother. More »

Philadelphia's Continuing Misguided Hatred Of J.D. Drew

J.D.

It was in the Simpsons episode Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play that Homer, disgusted at a player during an Isotopes game, hurls various batteries onto the field, following it up by throwing an electric drill. J.D. Drew knows the feeling. Each time he plays in Philadelphia, the calm, measured Citizens Bank Park crowd has something new in store for him. On Wednesday they tried to boo him back to the Stone Age, as usual, but it didn't throw him off. More »

You Mean The Speed-Up Rules Began THIS Weekend?

Hopefully you caught wind of Major League Baseball's new directive to enforce rules that speed up the game, if from no other source, from Jim Leyland's awesome rant. But apparently the Red Sox didn't get the memo. Correction: they read it, they just didn't read it. More »
