A-Rod Will Keep Hitting Them Out As Long As You Keep Teeing Them Up
The two-home-runs-in-one-inning phenomenon, usually found only in Little League and the softball game at your company picnic, appeared at Yankee Sradium on Wednesday in the form of a limping, self-satisfied Alex Rodriguez. The two clouts in an eight-run seventh led New York over Seattle 10-2, effect...

Honestly, What's NCAA Football Without Hugh Johnson?
High atop the Family Feud board of most popular questions Deadspinions posed to the Democratic Assembly of Deadspin Administrating Saturdays/Sundays (D.A.D.A.S.S.) was, "Who did Sussman bang to get the job?" "Will you guys bring Hugh Johnson back?" Well, I hope the logo hovering over this paragraph...


Chipper Jones Loves Jose Canseco
Chipper Jones has been know for his entire baseball career as a purveyor of wisdom, a rare voice of reason in a world of insanity. Dare we call him professorial? We do; we do dare....

Three Great Tastes That ... You Know, We're Gonna Stop There
We meant to post this yesterday but didn't get around to it. David Beckham visited the Yankees locker room on Monday; he was one of the she-male, muscular types A-Rod usually hangs with while in Toronto. For some reason — and we can't put our finger on why — but these pictures oddly remind us of th...

The Next Guy To Be Immortalized In The Record Book
As we come to terms with the fact that Barry Bonds is now the all-time home run leader — and no one is coming to terms with it better than The Dugout — we look to the future. Specifically, we look to the time that Alex Rodriguez breaks the record himself....

Does This Mean No More Live Look-Ins?
The nation's long wait has finally come to an end, A-Rod hit 500! Alright, it's not exactly 756 but at least it's one less thing we'll have to hear about every single day. He got things out of the way in a hurry this afternoon with a first inning blast off of Kyle Davies. Call me crazy, but I think ...

Jose Canseco Is Very Cautious With His Speech
Jose Canseco confounds us, because he's obviously a moron, yet he's pretty much the only guy who's been right about this steroid business from the beginning. It's like learning Charles Nelson Reilly came up with some cinematic innovation 20 years ago. Anyway, he's spouting off again, and this time h...


Searching For Beckham In LA, And Finding Alexa
David Hirshey writes regularly for Deadspin about soccer....

A-Rod Would Really Prefer A Smaller Market, And Less Cash
The second half of the season has already begun to delight me: I got to laugh myself silly over Bay Area broadcaster Ted Robinson's speculation that Alex Rodriguez would be signing with the Giants for 2008. Sure, the Giants would love a second shot at one of their players breaking the all-time caree...

A-Rod Scores Them In Bunches
The guy who provided this here site with The Tip That Shook The Nation — involving Chris Berman and a certain leather-clad female — of course earned a place in our our mythical Tipster Hall of Fame. And in our hearts. But he's slipping, unfortunately. His once great fastball is now merely a languid ...

Lord, Heavens, Now They're Cursing At Yankee Stadium
The New York Post is all up in a tizzy this morning: Alex Rodriguez's wife wore a T-shirt with a bad word on it! Ack! (Link via The Smittblog.)...

Paul Lo Duca's Inspiring Idiocy
• I'm Sorry, Italians. Paul Lo Duca calls it a "good Italian temper," but I'm going to choose to think a little more highly of the Italian-American population, and call Lo Duca's display childish, dumb, and embarrassing. The idiot Mets catcher was thrown out of the game for arguing balls and strikes...

Our Version Of The Joslyn Morse Photos
Friday, good ole With Leather posted the naked photos of A-Rod's lady friend, and our friends at Fleshbot have them today....

Alex Rodriguez Resists Temptation
If it's true that A-Rod likes the "she-male, muscular type," then it must have been quite a struggle to maintain focus last night. Decent effort, Fenway fans ... but it wouldn't hurt you to show a little more cleavage....

Meet A-Rod's Lady
Today's Alex Rodriguez update: They've got the name of his lady, and she's a former Playboy model. She's Joslyn Noel Morse, and she was in this issue of "Casting Calls."...

How A-Rod Changed Everything, And Nothing
Of all the pleasures of this whole A-Rod business — and there are many — the best has been watching media outlets like ESPN and the New York Daily News dance their way around the story while still embracing it and licking its ear. "SportsCenter," in a move that would have been unfathomable five year...
