Hey, Sometimes You Need A Place To Sleep During Devil Rays Games
Well, it was only a matter of time. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays — the saddest, cheapest, most desperate franchise in baseball — has taken to selling furniture at the ballpark. Seriously. The D-Rays have a deal with a local furniture outlet to sell ottomans and sofas and all kinds of things you lie d...
The Curse Of Don Novello
The San Francisco Giants, thanks largely to a balky knee that has absolutely nothing to do with steroids, are 14 games under .500, 11 games behind the first-place San Diego Padres and appear stuck in a rather large ditch with poor plumbing and a strange puddle of something green. But a new theory ...

Humor. Who knows exactly how it works? Some things just strike us as amusing. For instance we were watching a rerun of the TV show "M*A*S*H" last night and witnessed the following exchange: Frank Burns: "Listen Bub, I'm a pretty fair doctor myself. You can ask any of my patients." Hawkeye: "We're...

Zack Greinke: "Let Me Go Home!"
The truly amazing folks at Yard Work — an anonymous blog that's written in the voices of ESPN writers and "personalities" — are having a grand time playing around with ESPN.com's new "writing" gig for A's closer Huston Street. Yard Work imagines a continuous column written by Royals starter Zack G...
Trippin' Balls
We have always heard the stories about former Pittsburgh Pirates Dock Ellis and his no-hitter in 1970. If you haven't, the legend has always been that Ellis threw a no-hitter that day while under the influence of LSD. We were never quite sure whether or not to believe it; we saw someone on LSD on...
Would You Call This A Throw Pillow?
We've never been to Japan, but we have heard many stories, most notably about all the varied ways a blond girl from the United States could make some really easy and strange money simply by hanging around with uptight Japanese businessmen half her height. We always chalked these up to urban legen...

As if the world doesn't hate us enough already, somebody got the bright idea recently to send Tommy Lasorda to other nations to act as our ambassador. He has just returned from Japan, where he was part of a "delegation" representing us at the World Expo. We know this because Tommy has just recoun...

And The Children Shall Lead Them ...
Minor league promotions are always fun — we were a big fan of the team that gave out free vasectomies for Father's Day a few years back — but the Northern League's Kansas City T-Bones have come up with a great one. In July, the first two innings of the game will be played by two kids on an XBOX o...

They've finally figured out a practical use for MLB Blogs.com, and we have to say it's a stroke of genius. What Major League Baseball has done is to take all players who are currently on the disabled list, and make them write a blog on their site. Sort of a forced labor camp for them to earn thei...

Those Crazy Titanium Mets
We sometimes suspect that if you told a baseball player that putting a paper clip on each testicle would pull them out of slumps, they'd do it (and maybe even try the nipples too). The latest superstition craze in baseball, according to The New York Times (who would know, we guess), is the orange ...
Bonds Continues To Give Away All His Scoops
We're beginning to think Barry Bonds' just doesn't care about his Web site anymore. While the site, which was supposed to be the only place you could TRUST for Barry Bonds news, hasn't been updated since June 10, Bonds is now lowering himself to talk to reporters. In an interview with MLB.com — we...

What Not To Put In Your Pants
We've been watching this White Sox-Cubs spitball feud with much amusement. It all started when White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle pretty much accused Cubs future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux of cheating, saying he "very well may be using something." (He didn't say his name specifically, going more for th...

Wherefore Art Thou, Barry?
As usual, Barry Bonds is keeping us confused, forlorn, lost. He told us we could get all the info we needed — and the only info we could trust — at BarryBonds.com. But we're now approaching the halfway point of the season, and it has been almost two weeks since we heard from Barry. Is he coming b...
