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...

So, as far as we can tell it, a pitcher can't have the following substances with him on the mound:...
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...

If you're like us, you begin each day by asking "What would Tommy Lasorda do?" Never one to shy from the controversial issues, Tommy will always stand up for what is right. When he sees an injustice, he moves to right it. When he senses that people are in trouble, he is the first to offer assistan...
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...

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 ...

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-...

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...
