The Return Of Barry Bonds
After almost a month away from us, elusively beefy Giants outfielder Barry Bonds has finally given back to his fans on his online journal.

Major League Baseball Is Incredibly, Massively Cool
We think it's incredibly cute when sports people decide to hold awards show. NASCAR has been doing this for years, most hilariously, with a bunch of dudes spilling chaw on their tuxes. The ESPYs are pretty much the pinnacle of this; nothing could possibly beat Tiger Woods in a tuxedo trying to be ...

Jeter, A-Rod Exchanging Blows. This Time It's Not In A Gay Way
We were all waiting to see when Yankees gay icons Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez were going to finally have a lover's spat.

Giants Fans Desperately Want To Get Crabs
In 1984, the San Francisco Giants, back when the team was terrible and the sports information was wacky, introduced the Crazy Crab, a satirical mascot meant to skewer the concept of a mascot all together. The notion was that Crazy Crab was an anti-mascot, one that would take the abuse of fans fru...

One thing we've always wondered about MLB Blogs: How far is too far? Will they censor one of their members for posting a bunch of dirty jokes, or photos of a bare-chested Tommy Lasorda? What exactly gets you kicked off MLB Blogs? We can't see their terms of service unless we actually sign up for a ...

The Primal Grunts Of Maria Sharapova (And Her Fans)
You know it's a bad sign for your sports when all anyone can find to talk about are how much your athletes grunt. (This has to be why synchronized swimming never made it.)

If weblogs are the new journalism, then what the hell went awry over at MLB Blogs? You'd think that people paying $4.95 a month for a weblog would be more into it, but alas, there's not much action here. Let's go to the statistics. For the month of June, the first 10 featured sites on MLB Blogs' ...

Maryland's Great Fake Farters
The Bowie BaySox, the double A minor league affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, are celebrating the birth of our country in the way our dad probably would, if he owned a baseball team: By farting.

John Rocker's Next Career (Hint: Kip Winger's Involved)
Last night, the Long Island Ducks released former Braves cattlehand John Rocker after Rocker said he needed to "take a step back" from baseball. It is not known if Rocker is going to try to peddle his wares elsewhere, or if he will look for a second career....

OK, here's the thing. Baseballs are plentiful and relatively cheap. So why do people become village idiots when one is batted in their direction? We've seen fathers elbow their young daughters out of the way in order to catch a foul ball at a major league game. We've seen men knocking over the eld...

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...
