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 ....)

Kobe Bryant, All About The DRAMA
We have a hard time firing ourselves up about front-office intrigue, mainly because it's usually just people posturing about money and "respect" and all kinds of silliness. But we have been enjoying this Kobe Bryant and the Lakers business, if just because it's not every day that a guy who was once ...

The Less Majestic Barbaro
Proving once again (gosh, how much proof do you people need?) that he is blessed with other-worldly powers, Barbaro has expedited the reincarnation process and has gotten himself back into the world of competitive athletics. Barbaro had a boxing match last night in San Jose....
About Last Night...
• MLB. Red Sox 10, Rangers 6. Matsuzaka left after five innings due to what Terry Francona describes as "the most covered case of intestinal turmoil ever." • WNBA. Mercery 111, Comets 85. I guess every basketball team in Phoenix scores a lot of points. • AFL. Blaze 65, Predators 62. Lookin' good, Jo...
Probably Just Best To Stay In The Tunnel, Ma'am
What happens when a Canadian attempts to sing the U.S. National Anthem? Nothing short of comedy gold, that's what.

Shane Victorino And His Skirt Can Be On Your Dashboard
Pity poor Shane Victorino. The Phillies outfielder/journeyman is being honored with his own figurine at a Phillies game on June 3, which has to be a thrill for any major league baseball player. (It was certainly a thrill for Mr. Celery!) Why Shane Victorino? Well, he's Hawaiian, and that makes him u...
Well, We Suppose This Ruins Pitino's Master Plan
Yes, friends, it is a sad day in Celtics land. (It's a sad day in Grizzlies land too, but nobody cares about the Grizzlies.)
