Watch Manny Ramirez Almost Kill Roy Oswalt
Roy Oswalt was struck "in the upper body" with a line drive hit off of Manny Ramirez's bat today in Port Charlotte, Fla.

TV Station Comps Lenny Dykstra $2,500 In Food And Jewels After He Compares Himself To Gandhi

Belgian Goalie Forgets How To Throw At The Worst Possible Time, Assists Opponent's Goal
Sammy Bossut, goalkeeper for Zulte-Waregem in the Belgian Pro League, pulled down a corner kick in a match against Lokeren over the weekend and, channeling a certain Giants quarterback, held onto the ball a little too long in his attempt to throw it down-field. Zulte-Waregem lost 2-1....
Let's Stage A Citizen's Intervention. Here's Charlie's Sheen's Phone Number.
We got a hold of Charlie Sheen's cellphone number (one of them, at least) and distributed it to some people who were desperate to contact him. Then it occurred to us that everyone seems desperate to contact Charlie Sheen these days. So now you can, too. Watch the video above and you'll hear Sheen ...
Where Are All The <em>Two And Half Men</em> Fanboys?
Know what's amazing about this whole Charlie Sheen fiasco? That no one who actually watches Two and a Half Men seems to give a shit that it may never come back. Usually, when the future of a TV show is in doubt, you get fanboys waging massive grass roots campaigns to keep the show going. They send ...
The Broken Phenom, The Overzealous Enforcer, And Some New Ammo For The Anti-Fighting Crowd
Try to justify the institution of the enforcer in hockey to an outsider, and you'll likely pull out the usual arguments. It's about protection, about fear, about retribution. So yes, on a basic level, it's about pain. But it's never, never about injury. So with two players still out in the wake of a...

The Messy History Of Charlie Sheen's "Winning" Ring
As part of his relentless media odyssey this week, Charlie Sheen introduced himself to Twitter with a message that had a Chappelle-esque, "Kiss the rings, bitches" quality to it. It was an image of Sheen's shimmering 1927 World Series ring that was once worn by another winner with an equally insatia...
Charlie Sheen Still Doing Insane Interviews, Now Channeling Allen Iverson
In Charlie Sheen's interview with Jeff Rosen of Today this morning, the former star of Two and a Half Men said that overdosing is "for amateurs" and AA is for "people who don't have tiger blood and Adonis DNA," and further immortalized himself by referencing, in his words, "the great Allen Iverson...

Charlie Sheen Puts Lenny Dykstra In A Position "Where I'm Actually Ready To Make A Big Move In My Life"
The Lenny Dykstra/Charlie Sheen revival tour can't do nothing but gather steam. Just two days after Dykstra vouched for the coke-fueled genius that is Sheen, they took to the radio waves to "set the record straight on the myriad of exaggerations, misinformation and outright falsehoods about his li...
Phillies Prospect Upset That Coke Charges Brought His Character Into Question
When young outfielder Tyson Gillies came to the Phillies organization via the 2009 Cliff Lee-to-Seattle trade, they probably didn't expect that cops would find him on the side of the road waving his shirt all happy-like, and cocaine in the backseat of the car in which the cop drove him home. But th...

Lenny Dykstra Vouches That Charlie Sheen Is A "Rock Star" And "F-ing Genius"
It was always supposed to come to this: Lenny Dykstra singing the "exclusive" praises of his pal Charlie Sheen to Radar Online.
