Red Sox Dial Down Arroyo
After some legitimate complaints about his off-field pursuits, Red Sox pitcher/archaic grunge rocker Bronson Arroyo might be the most important pitcher the team has right now. So apparently the Red Sox themselves have tired of all the rocking, asking him to cut down on the music until, you know, w...
The Deprogramming of David Wells
It's a sad day when Boston fathead David Wells is turned into a Stepford Drone, but it has happened. On Monday, Wells blasted commissioner Bud Selig and essentially accused him of covering up the Rafael Palmeiro steroid bust, which, frankly, the rest of us all think too. But once Wells left his em...
Wells Gets Detention, Call Home to Parents
After his pissed-off comments Monday, Boston pitcher David Wells has been sent to the principal's office. Wells, who blasted commissioner Bud Selig and accused him of covering up steroid results, was summoned to New York to chat with baseball brass. Interestingly enough, Selig himself is unlikely ...
Wells Digs His Own Hole
It's always amusing when Boston elderly punk David Wells pops off, but we have a suspicion that when he verbally attacked commissioner Bud Selig after his six-game suspension for bumping an umpire was upheld, he might have got himself in some real trouble this time....
Respect the Reds' Authority!
When you're a Cincinnati Reds fan — particularly a Cincinnati Reds blogger — life has been pretty rough this year. Despite a nice little run of late and the inexplicable fortitude of Ken Griffey Jr.'s hamstrings, it's still a chore to write about the Cincinnati Reds every day, every year....
Clemens Survives ... For Now
Well, it's 5:30, and no announcement from Selig and company about steroids suspensions as has been widely rumored. We're keeping an eye out, but, of course, we'll just ask Michael Kay about it, if we have to....
The Day Of Rumor Reckoning
Well, today's the day. The Interweb has been all abuzz with rumors for days now that Roger Clemens/Johnny Damon/Gary Sheffield were about to be squashed under the steroid hammer of MLB. The Web was so a-twitter about everything that even the dinosaur print reporters noticed what was going on. (Dan...

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...
Bong Bonged For Bonging Wife
It is a tragic shame that Reds pitcher Jung Bong was arrested last Friday, and it wasn't for a drug-related offense. Nope, Bong took after his old manager Bobby Cox and was busted for strangling his wife, or, rather, causing red marks to appear on her neck....
Red Sox Fans Have Had Enough Of Manny
We have to say, it's a sad day when the city of Boston — or anyone, really — turns on outfielder Manny Ramirez. Maybe because we're not Red Sox fans, but we love Manny. When they say "that's just Manny being Manny," it's not fair, but come on: It's true. The guy wore sunglasses with in iPod in the...
Wily Mo Pena's iPod
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Wily Mo Pena is one of the hottest young prospects in baseball, in addition to having a wonderfully wacky name. He also has rather curious taste in music. According to the great Reds web log Red Hot Mama, when Pena comes to the plate at Great American Ball Park in Cincin...
Blind Item: Which Current President Used To Have Too Much Of The Bubbly?
