Live Blogging The George Mitchell Presser
OK, it's time. Will all be revealed? No. But it'll be fun to watch nevertheless. Is well circulated list accurate? Will George Mitchell call Bud Selig a hoser? Find out all this and more, after the jump. And MLB will have the full report on its site right after Mitchell's presser is over....
Is This The List Of Players Mentioned?
OK, let's do a little test of the Internets today: In the last hour, we have been forwarded a list of players mentioned in the Mitchell Report by about 25 different people. Is this list substantiated? No. Is it from an MLB official? No. Do we have any reason to believe it's anything but random bunk?...
Last Chance For Blatant Mitchell Report Guessing ... But There's No Guessing On Clemens
We're not sure if this says more about the significance of today, or simply a statement about us, but just about every email we've gotten today has included the words "Happy Mitchell Report Day." Hype is fun. Particularly now that Roger Clemens is attending the party....
Early Bedtime Kids ... It's Mitchell Report Eve!
For the schadenfreude-hungry sports fans, it truly is Christmas Eve....
Kent Bottenfield Croons To Save Your Soul
We remember former major league pitcher Kent Bottenfield as an above-average starter for the Cardinals and the guy we packaged with Bill Simmons lookalike Adam Kennedy to grab Jim Edmonds. (Also, he's the least likely human to be included in the Mitchell Report tomorrow.) Well, he's more than that n...
What The Mitchell Report Could Possibly Mean
Baseball has promised that the Mitchell Report will be out by Christmas, and several sources are whispering that it'll be out this week, including those who have talked to SI's John Donovan, who has an excellent pregame rundown. (Howard Bryant at ESPN has a great piece as well....
Bronson Arroyo Brings The Rock
Last night, we saw the Majestic Rock that is The Sword. We left quite rocked. But we ain't seen nothin' yet; Bronson Arroyo is on tour....
The Barry Bonds CourtTV Business Begins
Barry Bonds is going to be arraigned in San Francisco in about 20 minutes or so. We have a hard time firing ourselves up about arraignments; it's pretty much just a bunch of guys in ties saying about 10 words so low that we can't hear them....
A-Rod Is Not A Pleasant Landlord
When people defend Alex Rodriguez — because, you know, in a few circles, he's somewhat unpopular — they often point to the amount of charity work he does. But there might be less to that charity business that meets the proverbial eye. And he's not much of a landlord....
Curt Schilling On His Bonus Clause, And Others'
Curt Schilling, on his immaculately typed blog this week, blasted the new Baseball Writers Association rule that says anyone who has an incentive in their contract to win an MVP or Cy Young award will be ineligible. There's money to be lost, but that doesn't seem to be his issue; actually, we're not...
Barry Bonds Could Really Use Johnnie Cochran Right About Now
Considering the charges against him — and the public opinion forces, going all the way up to President bush — one would think Barry Bonds' legal team would be coming together and preparing a fierce, scorched earth strategy to take down what are arguably pumped-up charges. One would be wrong....
Baseball Alumni Would Like Some More Of Your Money, Please
Always wanted to get close to your favorite baseball players, but only in a corporate, officially licensed, non-transferable type of way? You're in luck: You can become a member of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association....
Micah Owings Might Go Both Ways
One of the stars of the Diamondbacks' improbable 2007 season was Micah Owings, the pitcher who could hit better than almost everybody else in Arizona's lineup. In the offseason, teams look for every advantage they can find, to fill every hole. The D-Backs are getting creative; they're thinking of pu...
Your Team Would Like To Trade For Santana Too
Andruw Jones signed with the Dodgers yesterday — the money seems a bit high, but the two-year commitment wouldn't seem crippling to us — and Dontrelle and Tubby McTubberson headed to Detroit, and that's pretty much all that came out of baseball's winter meetings, which end today. So, perhaps Johan S...
In A Way, Aren't We All John Maine?
For years, we have been plagued by the scourge of John Maine impersonators. We have fallen prey to this ourselves; heck, just more than a month ago, we thought Maine had shown up at our door, asking not for a dress, but for candy. One would think we would have learned to have been more skeptical....
Fat Guy, Skinny Guy Shipped To Detroit
As was first reported (kinda) by Sports Review Magazine, baseball had its first big trade yesterday. The Marlins sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers for six guys, though we think the actual amount of tonnage exchanged was close to equal....
