Why Pete Rose Didn't Ruin Ray Fosse's Career

That's Not Quite What Pete Said, Actually
With all the hullabaloo around Pete Rose's "admission" yesterday that he "bet on the Reds every night" — a story so overblown that even Katie Couric was talking about it, chatting with beer pong specialist Armen Keteyian — Keith Olbermann, who did the Rose interview along with Dan Patrick on ESPN Ra...
You Can Shove Your Sorrys In A Sack, Mister
The week began with violence and bravado, but has concluded in ignominious regret. Yes, it's time for the "sorry" roundup. And while none of these apologies rise to the level of that of that of the great Pete Rose, rest assured that all of the participants are nonetheless terribly filled with sham...
You Stay Classy, Pete Rose
We had a lot of fun with the Pete Rose "I'm sorry" autographed baseball story from Tuesday, thanks, as usual, to our commenters. You folks took our eight-yard slant pass over the middle and turned it into an 80-yard TD run, if you'll excuse a football analogy in the midst of a baseball post. For t...

Pete Rose, Still Around, Still Clueless, Still Doesn't Care
A confession: We can't stand Pete Rose. Ignoring his loutish tendencies in his personal life or his complete lack of understanding of a human being not named Pete Rose — and that includes Pete Rose Jr. — we just can't fathom how anyone could forgive him baseball's one unforgivable sin. Not only sh...
Rose Talks To Stat Nerds
We have always liked Baseball Prospectus: It's just a bunch of scrappy guys with laptops who realized it was possible that everyone in charge of baseball was an idiot. But now that they've gone mainstream, they've grown up from crunching stats on the back of Outback napkins to rubbing elbows with th...
