Peter Gammons Rocking Out The Mitchell Report Blues
We'll get into Roger Clemens more a little bit later — because we know you can just never get enough Roger Clemens and steroids talk, obviously — but we wanted to take a moment to salute Peter Gammons, everyone's favorite Andrew Jackson-impersonating, hard-rockin' baseball reporter. More »

It's Tough To Type While Wearing A Mitt
We don't have an iPhone, because we're quite happy with our iPod and our cellphone being happy and separate, thank you very much. (Also: A little pricey.) Most people we know who have one tend to enjoy them, but they've had a bit of an issue with the lack of a keyboard.
When you combine this with Peter Gammons' recent report than baseball players are buying the iPhone like crazy, well, you've got an instant classic Dugout. The premise: Baseball players were having enough trouble typing as was.
Gammondorf: Yoi can type pretry well if you spend enougj timw typing yourt message. That last sentence toik me 25 mimutes.
pr0ff3ss0r_f4rnsw0rth: Htf is franswirth mclane supoosed to talk loke a jaded basass if it uppertcases all my thoights and wishers.
It makes sense, though, that the iPhone would be the way Manny Ramirez would truly be able to communicate his deeper nature.

Somebody Was Too Blasted To Pitch In A Meaningless Game
So you remember that whole All-Star game travesty from five years ago — yes, it has been five years now, which is kind of amazing — when they had to call the All-Star Game a tie because everyone was out of pitchers? (That game is the reason the American League has freaking home-field advantage every year now.) More »

Jeffrey Maier Wants To Return And Screw Over The Orioles Again
You might remember that Jeffrey Maier, the infamous Yankees fan who might have cost the Orioles a win in the 1996 American League Championship Series, was hoping to be selected in the amateur draft earlier this year. Well, it didn't quite happen the way he wanted, so now, at the Winter Meetings — a baseball convention so vital and important that it requires Capital Letters — Maier is like every other post-grad with a resume: He's trying to find himself a job.

Peter Gammons Has Returned, Just In Time
Baseball Musings had the great news today that Peter Gammons will be back on "Baseball Tonight" tomorrow night, and late today comes even better news: Gammons is writing again, with his first work since his aneurysm in July. Typical Peter, he has an excellent look at the upcoming free agent pitching market, but, before that, he exercises some well-earned indulgence by telling the story of his recovery. More »

They Got To Gammons Too
It was one thing when Mel Kiper had to deal with the indignity of having his daggum top 10 messed up. It was another when Stephen A. Smith smugly pointed out to Tim Legler that all those papers were holding him back. It was another when Trey Wingo invaded our home through direct mail. More »

What's On Peter Gammons' iPod?
If you don't have ESPN Insider, well, you miss out not just on Bill Simmons mailbags from late 2002, but also various "blogs" from Buster Olney, John Clayton and our man Peter Gammons. We always enjoy Gammons' blog, if you can call something a blog that's really just feature stories that are a little shorter than your average feature story. More »

Roger Clemens Hates His Crotch
You might think that Peter King's gruesome description of the preparations he took to prepare for his colonoscopy would be the most disturbing thing you'd read all day. It would seem like a good bet; Peter, we love the freedom you have online, but there is such a thing as decorum and good will to your fellow man. Please: No more in-depth descriptions of your need to poo. Thank you. More »
