Lemme At 'Em! Lemme At 'Em!
Twice a year, members of the New York media play members of the Boston media in baseball. This is surely amusing to watch — fat guys fielding grounders is always a reliable source of comedy — but yesterday, at Fenway Park, there was a truly beautiful happening: They almost had a bench-clearing brawl...
Gary Sheffield, Unlike You Latin Pushovers, Will Not Be Controlled
I don't know if it was the conspiracy he was talking about yesterday, but Gary Sheffield did tell GQ all about his thoughts on why there are dwindling numbers of African-Americans in Major League Baseball....
Gary Sheffield Will Rip The Lid Off Of It
For "aggressive actions directed at umpire Greg Gibson," Detroit Tigers DH Gary Sheffield was suspended for three games. Sheff broke his bat, and then threw the handle down ... somewhere. He says he threw it towards the dugout, Major League Baseball says he threw it at the ump....
All The Sudden, Mike D'Antonio Seems Stoic And Emotionless
I particularly enjoyed the meticulous job of covering home plate in dirt. Paula Dean doesn't take that much care when she's baking a cake. Nor does she crawl around on the grass afterwards, and throw a rosin bag as if it were a grenade. But, I guess that's why she'll never be asked to manage the Mis...
Alex Rodriguez Resists Temptation
If it's true that A-Rod likes the "she-male, muscular type," then it must have been quite a struggle to maintain focus last night. Decent effort, Fenway fans ... but it wouldn't hurt you to show a little more cleavage....
Carlos Zambrano Needs A Time Out
When you're 8 games below .500, the least you could do is try to be lovable. But the Cubs, 7.5 games out in the pathetic NL Central, can't even manage that....
Cubans Treat Their Female Umpires Much Better Than We Do
In the United States, when there's a female umpire, she's mocked, particularly if her name is Violet Palmer and she's, uh, not a particularly great referee. But in Cuba, umpire Yanet Moreno is the talk of communist baseball....
Kick Satan Out Of Your Life With The Help Of The Indianapolis Indians
What's coming up in the world of minor league baseball ... we proudly present you with Rick Chandler's Minor Enterprise!...
Meet A-Rod's Lady
Today's Alex Rodriguez update: They've got the name of his lady, and she's a former Playboy model. She's Joslyn Noel Morse, and she was in this issue of "Casting Calls."...
One More Thing For Giambi To Apologize For
Notes on a day in baseball:...
The Rocket Would Rather You HGH Than Dip
As we await Roger Clemens' return to the game this Monday, we bring you this old public service announcement from Roger on the evils of chewing tobacco. The guy is a natural actor, though we really don't want to know what happened once the camera stopped rolling....
Ichiro Can Move Fly Balls With His Mind
We can never quite tell if Ichiro Suzuki has an imaginative translator, or if he's even battier than we thought he was. Either way, it's entertaining. This, from after he missed a fly ball the other day:...
It Tastes Like The Back Of A LA School Bus
Ever wonder what it would be like to see Manny Ramirez savor the aroma of fine wine? (Manny, that's not grape juice ... Manny ... Manny ....) Get yourself to Yawkey Way tomorrow to see three Red Sox show off their new wines. It will be nice to see Schilling use a spit cup for something other than ch...
In Case You Were Wondering Whatever Happened To Steve Buechele
For years, for the NBA Draft Lottery, various franchises have trotted out coaches, assistants, GMs, current stars, franchise legends, random puppies, whoever, to represent the team as they find out which tall young person they will pay millions of dollars to. And now that Major League Baseball is ho...
When It's Time For Mr. Met To Party, It's Time To Party Hard
You thought A-Rod was the only New York baseball personality out partying with attractive ladies all weekend? You clearly forgot about Mr. Met....
A-Rod Has Sexual Urges, Apparently
Remind Alex Rodriguez, once again, why he decided to come to New York? As if matters weren't disastrous enough in The Bronx right now, it appears everybody's favorite sensitive boy has been gallivanting around Toronto with buxom blondes who aren't his wife. We know! We're as shocked as you! A Major ...
Does Barry Really Owe The Hall Of Fame Anything?
Barry Bonds is heading to New York this week for the Giants' three-game series with the Mets, and because there are a ton of reporters here, expect Bonds to make some sort of headline in the next three days, whether he homers or not. (If we were Bonds, we'd avoid anybody with a combover for the next...
Jose Canseco, Keeping Us Entertained For Nearly A Quarter Of A Century
Oh, 'tis a sad, sad day indeed when one is outwitted by Jose Canseco. As SportsbyBrooks so dutifly reported over the weekend, the man who once had a baseball bounce off his noggin for a home run has apparently convinced USA Today columnist Michael McCarthy that his non-existent TV reality show, Win ...
