Welcome To Phoenix. We Hate The Home Team Here
Baseball blogs come in a few basic varieties. You have the committed fan (Bleeding Pinstripes), the starry-eyed kid (Look Who I Just Interviewed!) and those who have given up entirely and abandoned all perspective and self-respect (I Am Begging the Cardinals to Win the World Series). But rarely d...
Charting The Stars With Andrea Mallis
Are you a professional athlete? Are you seeking balance in your life? Is Venus entering Scorpio in your house of partnership? Well, you probably need the services of a qualified sports astrologist. If only we knew where one could be contacted. Wait! We're in luck! Andrea Mallis is a professional ...
Tom Brady Loves Him Some Olsen Twin
Our big sister — and by "big sister," we mean "woman who wears shoulder pads" — reported yesterday that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, in New York City for something called "Fashion Week," was sucking face with a bunch of women who did not star in I, Robot. Quoth a tipster:...

Zack Hample is quite insane, of that we're certain. He has close to 3,000 baseballs in his house, from 40 different ballparks. So obsessed is he that he's even posted a map of Costa Rica on his site, with arrows pointing to the exact site of the Rawlings baseball factory. We know he's planned his ...

We don't mean to pry, really, but we can't help but find Baseball Strategies a little strange. First off, it promises "daily insite" (sic) into the game of baseball direct from San Diego Padres scout Branden Moskwa. But for a guy who supposedly works inside the game, he sure is, well, kinda into g...
ESPN Ombudsman: You Kids Knock It Off!
Resident nerdy professor ESPN ombudsman George Solomon filed his newest impotent you-darned-kids column on Saturday, and, as usual, we imagine ESPN brass reading it, shaking their heada, chuckling, then tossing another few more Indonesian children on the fire. (It's gonna get cold in Bristol soon;...

Dan Rivkin has a couple of things going against him — he's a programmer of some sort at MLB.com, and he's a Mets fan. Poor dope. With those two strikes against him, we know we're all rooting for Dan to get away from it all for a little while and forget his troubles. But no such luck. Even though ...
Saints: America's Guilty Conscience Team
Like most of you who decided that NFL Sunday Ticket isn't quite valuable enough to make up for the utter uselessness of DirectTV, we spent yesterday at a sports bar, looking past the impromptu games of beer pong to watch hundreds of television screens full of football. And we saw what we're sure y...

For a while in the sixth grade we pretended we knew French — but in reality it was just that one line in the Beatles song "Michelle" that we memorized and repeated to impress our friends. Apparently the folks over at MLB Blogs never even got that far. The Expos are long gone, after all, so why sho...

We'd like to introduce a new feature, because features are fun and make the day just fly fly fly by. In case you missed it, former Sportingnews.com "new media" dropout Mark Newman has resurfaced at MLB.com to help Bud Selig sell something that you absolutely cannot find anywhere else (particularly...
The Monstrosity of Leaving The Big Easy
Currently, the New Orleans Saints — we have to keep reminding ourselves that New Orleans had a football team, and that they still exist right now — are denying CNN's reports that the Superdome will have to be torn down, but whether CNN is right or not, the team still needs someplace to play right ...

If you've never been there, we can pretty much sum up the bulk of MLB Blogs in three words: Vacuous pap. Hmm — actually, it only took two words....

They are the weblogs that time forgot. The blogs of the damned. Let us take a moment today to pay homage to the brave sites that have been consigned to the MLB Blogs scrap heap. Oh, once they were thriving Internet communities. But no more. Tour of Duty, That's Not Orange and Five-for-Five ... we...
Dirty Deeds Brings Out Dirty Folk
More info on Dirty Deeds, the "movie" produced by former gay nomad Todd Zeile and Yankees gorilla Jason Giambi: Apparently Barry Bonds has seen the movie. He showed up at the premiere, posing for photos with former "Party of Five" star Lacey Chabert, which is kind of a frightening mental image....

Take a look at the above photo, actually existing on MLB Blogs at this moment. A couple of possibilities here:...

The facts: Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti has an MLB blog. Tremonti is pals with Boston's Johnny Damon. Damon is rumored to be one of the next big names to go down in baseball's steroids sweep. How about some insight, Mark? Dish, baby. ...

We find it hard at times to keep up with MLB Blogs because of its the breakneck pace. When visiting Replaying the Past, for instance, we often have to take a breather to collect our wits, stop our heads from spinning and have someone from the clinic across the street take our blood pressure. It's ...
We're Not Sure Whom We're Supposed To Hate
David Pinto at brings up something we were kind of curious about: If admitted steroid abuser Jason Giambi hits a home run off suspended steroid abuser Ryan Franklin (which he did last evening), uh ... whom are we supposed to get mad at? Would Nationals manager Frank Robinson say it just didn't ha...

What you missed while writing a musical based on the movie "Fargo" ... • Puberty — nature's steroids. Hawaii wins Little League World Series. • Speaking of steroids: Giambi's 7 RBI lift Yankees. • Danica Patrick proves that women drivers are just as capable as men when it comes to ... wait, she just...
