Joey Votto Owned Me
On June 1, Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto had a triple slash of .213/.330/.404. I wrote an article expressing the opinion that, at the time, he was bad. A lot has changed since then. Joey Votto, like he did to the buffoon in the Reds shirt at last night’s game, has owned me....

The Battle Over The Rangers' Ballpark Scam Has Officially Begun
It is not unreasonable, I don’t believe, to portray the pending fight over a new $1 billion stadium for the Texas Rangers as a proxy war—or at least a referendum—over the public financing of stadiums in America. Here is every variable that should make sports fans recoil in horror at the now-accepted...
Mariners Fan Fights Stadium Netting, Loses
Hanley Ramirez jerked a big dong this evening, sending a Wade LeBlanc fastball some 455 feet into the Seattle evening. It nestled its way into the netting above the scoreboard in left field, thus beginning this enterprising Ken Griffey Jr. fan’s treasure hunt. ...

Phillies Fan Ejected By Home Plate Umpire For Heckling [UPDATE]
Heckling is built into baseball. The game is slow and judgment-dependent, and for the fans close to the action at home plate, giving it to the players and umpires is a good enough way to pass the time and possibly influence the outcome of the game....
Joey Votto Owns Clown-Ass Reds Fan
Don’t try to pull any shit on Joey Votto. Asking for some charity while sitting in some expensive seats? That’ll get you a taste of Joey Votto’s praxis. Trying to catch a foul ball and getting in Votto’s way? He’ll pull your card. ...
Ken Rosenthal Is A Good Reporter And He Had To Eat Some Shit
One piece of evidence that Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal is very good at his job is that when he reported that Yasiel Puig stormed out of Dodger Stadum after being told he was going to be traded or demoted, it was accepted as gospel even without confirmation from either side, or even anyone else reporti...

John McEnroe Brought The Heat
The best first pitch of 2016 does not belong to a 92-year-old World War II veteran, Snoop Dogg, or, uh, whoever these people are. No, the honor goes to John McEnroe, who smoked this fastball in to open this evening’s Mets-Yankees game....

Your MLB Trade Fucking Deadline Roundup
The MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and although news of more deals could trickle in over the next few hours, I think it’s safe to say that the hot fucking stove was only moderately hot today. Look, my hand is on the stove right now. It’s right there on the burner. What do I feel? It’s not col...
Everything's Coming Up Joe Maddon
Judging a baseball manager’s long-term, direct impact on his team is one of the hardest things to do with any true accuracy.
