Another Reason To Hate Teenagers
We've been watching video of that dumbass teenager who jumped onto the screen behind home plate at Yankee Stadium last night. We love contrasting the terrified look on his face after he pulled that stunt with the this-is-why-we're-never-having-children smirk when he was taken into police custody ...
Fun With ESPN's Ombudsman
We repeat: We find it hysterical that ESPN has hired an ombudsman — former Washington Post editor George Solomon — to tell it when it's operating outside the boundaries of journalistic ethics. We mean, it's ESPN: Duh. Anyway, Solomon does his monthly tilting at windmills this morning, and as alway...
The Saga Of Larry Krueger
For those who don't know him, Larry Krueger — who was finally fired last night — is a motormouthed, somewhat annoying late-night talk host on the San Francisco Giants flagship radio station, KNBR-680. On the air August 3 following another inspiring loss by the home lads (3-2 to the Rockies), Krue...

Baseball Tonight Hijinks
We've become pretty addicted to Fire Joe Morgan, a hideously designed but riotously funny daily rip on ESPN's baseball coverage. Today's rant is on something we noticed as well: The awful, brain-dead banter about the AL Cy Young between analysts John Kruk and Harold Reynolds and anchor Karl Ravec...

Tyson Throws In His Loin Towel
That woman right there, that's Jenna Jameson. She's a porn star. By "porn star," we mean "someone who is paid to have sex with other people while cameras are running." We don't know much about porn — really — but we have always found it, we dunno, a little degrading. Sorry. We're prudes....
To Watch Tonight ...

Well, That Didn't Take Long
It has been four days since NBA commissioner David Stern announced that Las Vegas would host the 2007 NBA All-Star Game. And players haven't taken long to start marking their territory:...
The Drooling Michael Kay
As loyal MLB.tv subscribers — honestly, if you're paying for the MLB TV package for your TV rather than your computer, you're getting ripped off — our favorite parts are usually when the game isn't going on. If you find the right feed, it won't jump to commercial like on regular telecasts and you ...
Today In MLB Blogs
We spend a lot of time mocking MLB Blogs, and rightfully so — after all, Tommy Lasorda's involved. But every once and awhile we stumble upon actual journalism....
Nothing Says Christmas Like A Good Blood Feud
God Bless The NBA. For the second consecutive year, commissioner David Stern and Co. have put together a Miami Heat-Los Angeles Lakers Christmas Day matchup, allowing broadcasters Al Michaels and Hubie Brown to look for significance in each sweat bead on Kobe Bryant's brow and each slight tilt to...
More Fallout From Derek Lowe's Banging
More fun with Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe, his soon-to-be-ex-wife and Fox Sports "broadcaster" Carolyn Hughes: The Boston Herald reported this weekend that the Red Sox might have actually used Lowe's alleged infidelities as an excuse not to resign him last year. According to the paper, Lowe showed...
Apparently, Stephen A. Smith Is Black
We usually try here to avoid the rantings of fundamentalist Christian stick-in-mud New York Post media columnist Phil Mushnick. He seems to be living in a world that's different than ours, one where all television executives are apparently closet kiddie porn enthusiasts. But we couldn't help but n...
Sheffield Story Eats Itself
We've been hearing all week about how Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield is a total whiner and apparently is misquoted as soon as he said something interesting, so we figured we'd just check out this infamous New York Magazine story and find out what the whole rigmarole was about....
The Sound Of MLB Blogs Silence
If you're looking for insight from Orioles fans on the Rafael Palmeiro steroid situation, what better place than MLB Blogs? Um, yeah. Hello? Anyone? (Sound of crickets). Either there are no O's fans at MLB Blogs — a distinct possibility — or they're laying low, waiting for this to blow over. Th...

Does George Steinbrenner Pee In A Jar?
