Rays, Red Sox Let Us All Down, Fail To Brawl
So what happened to Jonathan Papelbon's prediction of fisticuffs and other mayhem when the Red Sox returned to Tropicana Field? No brushbacks or punches or obscene gestures ... all we got was some lame identity theft. Rays manager Joe Maddon spent much of Monday trying to cancel his debiit card, whi...
Lenny Dykstra's Mansion Is Up For Grabs
In the market for a new place? Lenny Dykstra is selling his $25 million home (marked down from $27.5 million due to various chewing tobacco stains on the furniture and carpets). Presumably he's getting rid of the palatial estate on the Sherwood Country Club in LA because it's too big for he and his ...
A-Rod's Late Night Creep Sessions With Madonna Reach Day Two Of Gossip News Cycle

Jack Kent Cooke's Daughter Has Lots Of Moxie, Little Class
The daughter of former Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke is a feisty little lassie named Jacqueline Kent Cooke and, like most millionaire heiresses, she seems to have a problem with authority and a staggering sense of entitlement. That would explain why she sued the executors of her beloved dead fat...
Viral Sports Videos Are Getting Less And Less Believable
This video has been circulating for a couple of days, supposedly showing Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham booting a 110-yard field goal in practice. As Martin Prince would say: "Highly dubious!" (is then pummeled by bullies). Is it a real kick? Video trickery? Gus, the Field Goal-Kicking Mule? Brett Ha...
Celeb Rag Says A-Rod And Madonna Are Possibly, You Know, Doing It
Oh, if this is true, this would just be one of the most fantastically mind-blowing developments on the planet. One can only hope that the gossip-mongering scoundrels at OK! magazine aren't confusing Alex Rodriguez with one of Madonna's other orange-skinned boy toys. But according to Radar, the magaz...

Tropicana Field's Homeland Security Set To "Red" For Black, Latin Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays are spirited combatants on the field, and after the most recent Coco Crisp/James Shields donnybrook, tensions are running extremely high going into this series.

Technical Difficulties Make For A Fun First Day
Hello. If you're used to refreshing this site every hour to see what you've missed, obviously the last two hours haven't been too spectacular. It appears somebody urinated on the Gawker HQ's motherboard system and fried the system. (Was not me.)...

Manny Ramirez Is Passionate About Free Tickets
I've seen The Amityville Horror enough times to know that something supernatural must be going in Houston's Minute Maid Park. First Shawn Chacon snaps and tackles Astros' GM Ed Wade in the home clubhouse, where an attempted strangling may or may not have occurred. Chacon was shipped to the North Pol...

We Who Are About To Die Salute You
The Cubs really don't have a reasonable explanation as to why they suck so relatively badly on the road. The White Sox beat the Cubs 5-1 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep, the North side's eighth loss in the past 12 games. And here we see Mr. Kerry Wood trying to explain it, as you probably s...
