Barry Blogdome: Asterisk-esque!
What they're saying in Blogopolis about No. 756. We apologize for the use of that word, by the way. At least we didn't say "sphere."...
Yankees Fight For A Little Recognition
As New York continued to spit vitriol at Bonds (the Daily News came up with the gimmick of actually putting him on trial), it kind of forgot that the Yankees and Mets also played on Tuesday. In fact, the Yanks won; got into a scuffle with the Blue Jays, and crept to within five games of the Red Sox ...
In The End, You Don't Feel Nothing
By now, we've all pretty much made our peace with it, though there was a little part of us today that wanted to not mention Barry Bonds until about 4 p.m., and then throw up a "holy crap, did you guys see what happened last night? We just noticed" post. We felt that would be too gimmicky, though no...
Ireland Has Trouble Keeping The Michigans Straight
Our own Matt Sussman recently spent some time in Northern Ireland — he'll be back for his shift this weekend — and found this incredibly odd T-shirt....

Oh, To Be Back Home At Busch ...
We're going back to St. Louis this weekend for our yearly Busch Stadium trip — it has to be better than last year's — and we wanted to get back in the spirit of Busch. Thankfully, Joe Sports Fan obliged us....
Back When The Fielders Got Along
This might have something to do with it:...
Have Barry Bonds' Arms Really Not Grown?
Yesterday, Editor & Publisher, of all places, ran a column saying Barry Bonds' elbow brace gives him an unfair advantage. Over at Baseball Prospectus, Will Carroll follows up and stumbles onto a scoop of his own....
Rich Garces Will Never Leave Us
Because the world is a better place when Rich Garces holds a prevalent role in it, we bring you a definitive Rich Garces profile....
Byrd Is the Word
Behold the leg kick, the high socks, the windmill windup; all he needed was the little stubby-billed cap to make one think that it was Christy Mathewson out there befuddling the Twins....
Our One Moment Of Grace, Coming From A Guy Who Pees On Teammates
As Barry Bonds goes to finally break the record this weekend, we hark back to the only real revelatory moment of this "chase:" Greg Maddux's performance against Bonds on Friday night....
Lil Romeo, Undersized, Shoot-First Point Guard
We've already shared with you our joy that Michael Jordan's son is going to be playing for our Illini this season. He's not all that good, but he's not costing a scholarship, and it'll make sure his dad impregnates a few co-eds. It'll be fun....
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....
Solicit Like A Champion
We know that Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is infinitely more popular than Tyrone Willingham ever was (even though they have pretty much the same record at the university). But it's possible he was paying too much attention to his gastric bypass surgery than his players' well-being, because one of t...
Careful What You're Eating In Anaheim
When you think of rat-infested hellholes, usually you're veering more toward Detroit, or The Bronx, or even downtown St. Louis. You're not necessarily thinking of Anaheim. But boy howdy, they sure are having some rat problems in the land of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim....
Glavine Gets His Zack Snyder On
We congratulate Tom Glavine on earning his 300th win last night. We also appreciate that he didn't drag it out too long; unlike some people, he hasn't taken so long that we find ourselves rooting for him to break a record we don't actually want him a break, just so everyone will be quiet....
Today's Story: Coco Crisp And The Very Careless Moose
It's always a sad thing when a moose goes bad. One minute he's delighting children with his playful antics, and the next ... vehicular assault. The victim: Boston's Coco Crisp, who was minding his own business, warming up for Sunday's game in Seattle against the Mariners. The assailant: Mariner Moos...
