Why Matt Drudge Shouldn't Be Allowed To "Write" About Sports
Last night, at about 11 p.m., we started receiving emails about a supposed interview the Drudge Report had linked, stating that Barry Bonds had claimed not only would he pass Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron, but also Japanese slugger Sadaharu Oh. That's the headline right there. We followed the link to W...
A Ball Just Doesn't Go As Far As It Used To
It's official: Barry's balls are shrinking. Um, we mean the worth of Barry's balls is ... no. What we mean to say is, oh forget it. Let's start over. Baseball collector and comic book artist Todd McFarlane is not as interested in Barry's balls as he once was ... Dammit!...

And he's never more amusing than when he's being edited to suit the taste of the delicate ne...

We're going to get into tonight's Cardinals-Giants, Bonds-Pujols matchup a little later today, but we thought the time was right to remind you of our Barry Bonds home run challenge, which encouraged you, nearly a month ago now, to predict which pitcher would give up the homer that passed Babe Ruth...

714, At Last
It's kind of a shame that this didn't happen while Will was blogging, because I'm not nearly as obsessed with this as he is, but... c'est la vie. Barry Bonds hit his 714th career home run, tying Babe Ruth for 2nd on the all-time list. It came against Brad Hasley of the Oakland A's in the second in...
