Today In MLB Blogs
We knew it would come to this. Until now, MLB Blogs.com has been somewhat harmless. Annoying, but benign. Yesterday, for instance, we fell asleep while trying to get through "Life in the Slow Lane," a blog about the Kansas City Royals. It was a peaceful slumber, and we dreamed of puppies and free ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while proposing to Katie Holmes ... Spurs on brink of NBA title. Stern itching to get lockout started. Cleveland Rocks! Not really — Cleveland pretty much sucks. But the Indians have won nine straight. Tiger doesn't win U.S. Open. But he's still a 5-2 favorite in the Preakness....
Bobby Abreu's Otherworldly Restraint
All right, now, we pay pretty close attention to this sports business. (We do it for a living, after all.) But we'll fess up: We had heard nothing about this Bobby Abreu story from last month. Maybe it's because we don't watch Spanish language TV. But still....
Pujols Nice; Bonds, Not So Much
Our obsession with Barry Bonds remains. Now, we're not saying that Barry Bonds is somewhat of, um, a lesser guy than fellow superstar Albert Pujols, but we were farting around on athlete Web sites today and discovered Albert Pujols.com. Barry Bonds' site and its self-serving nature has been well-...
Today in MLB Blogs
We won't even comment on the terrifying play on words that assualted us at the top of the page when we checked in at MLB Blogs.com this morning. It's discomforting enough to learn that Tom Seaver has his own wine label, but to learn it like this ... It's really a horrifying pun, there in the firs...
Look! Singing Baseball Players!
This has been out for a while, but we finally heard it today, so we couldn't let it slip by any longer. Oh Say Can You SING?, an album of covers by baseball players, has been unleashed into the wild. Included are:...
Governor Fights Anti-Freedom Soccer Officials
You know, we liked New Jersey more when its governor did it with dudes. Apparently, current governor Richard Codey is furious that the National Anthem was not played before the England-Colombia soccer game at the Meadowlands earlier this week. "I was shocked, absolutely shocked," Codey blared to t...
The Fight For Bonds' Ball
Remember Tim Forneris? The St. Louis Cardinals groundskeeper who gave Mark McGwire's 62nd home run ball back to him? Whether or not you thought Forneris was an idiot depends on whether you were from St. Louis or from anywhere else, but one thing is certain: McGwire's 62nd home run ball will never...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while standing vigil outside the courthouse at the Michael Jackson trial ... Spelling Bee champ wins on "appoggiatura." Form an orderly line, ladies — he's single. Heat Win, Wade Hurt: Shaq offers to pay for funerals of Mikan, Pistons. Cubs win 7th straight. Do we smell another Jimmy...
Giambi Dropped By Obscure Shoe Company
There are lots of ways different people in different professions might lose endorsement deals. An actor might lose some beer commercials if it turned out he was gay, or, worse, actually from Europe. A doctor probably wouldn't work as a spokesperson for Vioxx if he had, say, an inclination toward s...
The Sweet, Beautiful Face Of Derek Jeter
What is it, Tim Kirk ... JUN, that makes you swoon? Is it candlelight dinners? Long walks on the beach? John Kruk all lathered up in bacon fat?...
Today in MLB Blogs
It's official: America is suffering from creative block. Over at MLB Blogs.com, the latest feature entry concerns a dad and son who are visiting five major league ballparks in five days. They've entitled it 5 for 5. Get it? (Alternate title: Something Juan Gonzalez Will Never Again Do). Exciting?...
Bonds: "I Don't See White People"
This tidbit from the Chicago Tribune is the one reason to buy a book by former White Sox outfielder Ron Kittle:...
Bonds Speaks Again!
We're starting to think Barry Bonds is telling us more than he thinks he is. In the newest installment of his traditionally content-free journal, Bonds tries what he can but can't help but let some of the demons sneak out. On the surface, the "entry" is the typical bland prattle about rehab, "lov...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while coughing up that piece of wax fruit ... Arrivadercci Amare: Spurs reach NBA Finals. First Day, Scripps National Spelling Bee: Evan O'Dorney of Walnut Creek, Calif., advances by nailing "lederhosen." Lee's five hits power Cubs past Dodgers. In Juan Gonzalez terms, that's five se...
Today in MLB Blogs
If you're like us, you've just been assuming all along that Elton John is a big baseball fan. Yep, he is — or so claims his tour manager, D.C. Parmet. How do we know this? Parmet is the latest contributor to MLB Blogs.com — the site that lets you do all the work, and makes you pay them!...
Buy The Nationals!
Wanted: Wealthy individual (white preferred. sorry!) willing to plunk down $400 million for franchise with limited television rights, decaying stadium and loyal (if a little too black) fan base. Must be open to making no decisions and following orders from former car salesmen and lawyers. Oh, and yo...
Tampa Now Killing Off Its Pitchers Literally
What would you do if you were pitching so poorly that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays wanted to send you to the minor leagues? Legitimate question: No one seems to have any idea what happened to starter Dewon Brazelton. His agent released a statement and now isn't talking, and no one in D-Rays' front off...
Welcoming Back Oil Can
We haven't talked much about the return of Oil Can Boyd, mainly because we haven't really found a story that adequately captures all this is Oil Can-y and Boyd-y about him. We have now found that story. ESPN's Tim Kirk ... (pregnant pause) ... JUN details the best parts of Boyd's comeback with the...
