Jim Nantz Does Like Him A Good Pun
With the official Week Of Jim Nantz just around the corner — starting Saturday, Nantz is about to take a starring role in all your nightmares — we are reminded that Nantz, right now, is probably sitting in a hotel room in Atlanta, jotting down puns and single entendres based on which ever team wins ...
Your AL Central "Preview"
Everyone says it's the toughest division in baseball, but we think it's just the mostly hotly contested: You could pretty much interchange any of those top four teams and not sounds like a fool. But those Royals ......

Your AL East "Preview"
All right, whether you're ready for it or not, baseball is starting Sunday night. (The Mets will watch the Cardinals raise their World Series title flag.

"The Ball Is Tipped ..."
Because we are just more than two days away from the Final Four, we thought we'd all work ourselves up into a sappy, cheesy frenzy with the good ole "One Shining Moment." Never before has something so horrible felt so, so right. (Note: Everything horrible feels right, actually.)...
Baseball Spits In Congress' Face (And Yours)
So, it's pretty much set in stone now: If you don't have (or can't get) Direct TV, you're shit out of luck....
There's More Than One Way To Skin A Softball Player
This, friends, is the College of Southern Idaho softball team and their VERY clever slogan this year. CSI — wee! — is a tiny junior college with an incredibly innovative way of promoting its players. They ask them if they're "shaven or unshaven."...

What's Eating Zack Greinke?
Last year, the mystery depression that clouded the mind of Royals pitcher Zack Greinke confounded teammates, coaches and fans. The man Baseball Prospectus once called "the future of pitching" was off the map. He has been in spring training this year and has even won a spot in the Royals' rotation, n...

Operation: Keep A-Rod From Weeping
Tired of all the hatred and cynicism piled upon poor, innocent, sensitive Alex Rodriguez? Wish someone would just cut him a break already? Think the world would be a better place if we could all come together as one and band together behind the man with the purple lipstick?...
Venezuela Not Big On Cutting Athletes Breaks
If you were thinking former big league reliever Ugueth Urbina was going to get off easy during his trial for attacking a guy with a machete, worry not: Urbina has been sentenced to 14 years in prison....
More Fun With Joakim Noah
Because Saturday's Final Four matchup between Florida and UCLA is a rematch of last year's national championship game, some bad blood is still stewing, or boiling, or whatever bad blood does, and UCLA fans are wanting revenge. And how does today fan fire himself for revenge? Funny PhotoShops!...
Afterwards, They Made Him Eat Actual Buckeyes
This is an old video, but it never fails to crack us up and remind us, when we are watching Ohio State play a sporting event on the largest possible stage, just what kind of people are rooting for them. We love how they jump in joy after it happens....
Baseball Season Preview: Montreal Expos
One of our favorite in-person baseball memories is watching the Expos play at Olympic Stadium a few years ago. This was back when Omar Minaya was the GM, during that season when he tried to make a mid-summer wild-card run. We saw the second game Bartolo Colon pitched for the 'Spos after his trade. T...
My Mother The Ump
Keith Hernandez has been curiously silent about Ria Cortesio, who on Thursday will become the first female umpire to work a Major League baseball game since 1989. Likewise, Cornbread Maxwell could not be reached for comment, as Cortesio, 30, will work the bases for an exhibition game between the Dia...
