Some Morning Fun Time At Fenway Park
So some of you might have seen the video of the infamous pizza-throwing incident at Fenway Park yesterday, but if you haven't — and you haven't heard Jerry Remy and Co's hilarious commentary on NESN — it's above. The NESN announcers didn't have the ability to talk to the fans, though, so The Bosto...

Bill Hall Is Smarter Than The Average Centerfielder
Back when we lived in St. Louis, we made the mistake of parking our car before a Rams game in the rooftop garage for the Gateway Arch, which is technically federal property. This was not necessarily a problem until we popped open a beer for a tiny, sad little tailgate. Within a matter of seconds, th...
Apparently, The Weather Was Warm In LA This Weekend
Over the weekend, the University of Southern California athletics department hosted a fundraiser for physically challenged athletes. Ostensibly, the highlight was supposed to be a swim race between USC coach Pete Carroll and, uh, physically challenged athlete Will Carroll Ferrell, but it turns out t...
Marlon Wayans And Jeff Kent Remember Jackie Robinson
You know, nothing says Honoring Jackie Robinson than making his wife pose for an incredibly awkward photo with Bud Selig. (As if there are any other kind with that guy.) Seriously, this guy is the commissioner of Major League Baseball, and every photo of him makes him look like Professor Frink....
Meet My Least Favorite Former Mets Minor Leaguer
Unless you were a huge fan of the "Man on Street" character so craftily portrayed in "What Women Want," you've probably never heard of Joe Petcka. He was drafted by the Mets in 1992, and knocked around the minor leagues before giving up baseball and taking up acting. And cat-beating....
USC Will Be The Most Popular Basketball Team Among Nickelodeon Viewers
High school basketball phenom O.J. Mayo is most likely going to USC for one year and then bouncing to the NBA, and everyone thinks it's because that's what O.J. Mayo wants to do. Not so. Mayo's leaving after one year because he's afraid to suffer the indignity of losing his starting job to the artis...
Remembering what Jackie Robinson meant, and who he was
As we prepare for Jackie Robinson Day in baseball on Sunday — the Cardinals, among other teams, are considering having every player wear No. 42, which gives us the unique opportunity of seeing David Eckstein and Brad Thompson pay tribute to Jackie — we thought we would provide our own tribute to a g...

Yahoo Fantasy Takes A Moment To Gloat
Considering all the trouble ESPN has had with its fantasy game, we suppose it's inevitable (and probably pretty smart) for Yahoo (where we've been doing all our fantasy games for years) to rub it in a little bit....
Cleveland's Wacky Home Game In Milwaukee
As you know, thanks to all the freaking snow in Cleveland, the Indians "hosted" the Angels in Milwaukee yesterday, and Indians fans Mistake By The Lake were there. It was a bizarre afternoon all around, with the scoreboard showing Cleveland news headlines, a misplaced sausage race and, most amusingl...

Look Where The Twins Are Gonna Be Playing
Randball and the folks at The Minneapolis Star-Tribune has posted sketches of the new Minnesota Twins stadium that supposed to open in 2010. As you may have read, a retractable roof would add an extra $100 million to the $522 million stadium cost, so they're not doing one. Which, if you look at this...
Razorbacks Fans Are Terrifying
So you know the crazed Razorbacks message board fan who went through the impressive measure of FOIAing coach Houston Nutt's cellphone records, discovering that he had been text-messaging a local female reporter? Well, his quest to rid Arkansas of Nutt is not over; as you can see in this video, he's ...
Mnookin: Another Crazed Night At Fenway
Last night, Fenway Park came alive once again, in that weird, psychotic way that only Fenway Park can come alive. Even though it turned out to be the King Felix show, it still had the feel of a historic night ... well, for April, anyway....
You Just Can't Trust MapQuest Sometimes
So you're pissed, right? We mean, you're really freaking ticked off. Your teammate has flummoxed you for the last time. So now you're at his house. You've got a handgun in your car, a shotgun by your side, and it's 4:30 a.m. It's time for revenge; you came here to kick ass and chew gum, and you're a...
