Road Beef, Big Papi At The Pink Pony, And You

Rick Chandler — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:30:55 EDT

Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why not import the idea here? It's just crazy enough to work. So behold: The latest edition of Deadspin's Waxing Off. We found seven terrific female writers who were willing to pen short pieces on this week's topic: Road Beef. Alfonso Soriano has his Keri Wieson, and Jose Reyes has his Bentley Matthews. Allegedly. In the old days they called them mistresses, or groupies, or Me So Horny girls. Today, they're known as road beef. What motivates these enterprising ladies, who know that the athletes of their desires are married, with children and various pets? Let's see what our ladies have to say. By the way, if you'd like to be part of the Waxing Off writing staff, email myself at Rick@Deadspin.com, or Mr. Daulerio at AJD@Deadspin.com. More »

Getting To Know Alfonso Soriano's Alleged Road Beef

A.J. Daulerio — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:30:15 EDT

So, this seems like it could be a regular feature. Deadspin received a tip this weekend about pictures circulating on one Keri Wiesen's Facebook page (public to those in the Chicago network), which features this fleshy young lady in various friendly poses with the Chicago Cubs' (Central division champs! Hooray!) Alfonso Soriano. Ms. Wiesen seems to be a little torn in her loyalties, however, because one of the photos on her profile shows her wearing a Chicago White Sox jersey. Was Carlos Quentin not interested? More »
