Barry Bonds – Racist?
An article in the Chicago Tribue quotes Barry Bonds as calling Ron Kittle an idiot for commenting in his book how Bonds said he doesn’t sign autographs for white people.
MLB Takes a Holiday
Sorry for the absentee long weekend. I figured if MLB can schedule days off on Memorial Day then why can’t I? But seriously, how can they schedule only 6 games on Memorial Day? What ever happened to the days of holiday doubleheaders? I can understand if they don’t play two but at least play 1! […]
Danny Graves: Free Agent
The Reds cut closer Danny Graves yesterday. He’s more or less been stinking up the joint this season but had 41 saves last year. I have to believe that someone doesn’t lose their stuff that quickly and that if he’s really that bad it’s a mental block or a small mechanical breakdown that can be […]
Subway Series Stinks
The big Subway Series starts tonight as the Mets take on the Yankees for a three game weekend series that’s sure to be exciting for players and fans alike. Or so the MLB hype department and media would have you think. The bottom line is that the subway series stinks. Why? For one thing it […]
Dontrelle Willis
In his latest insider column on espn.com Jerry Crasnick has a great profile on the dominant force that is Dontrelle Willis.
José Guillén Is Right!
I was talking with a co-worker last week about the steroids issue in baseball. The conversation occured on the heels of Twins reliever Juan Rincon. The co-worker brought up a point about how the rules could be unfair to Latin players because of a language barrier. I said that the language barrier is no excuse. […]
Of Selig and Steroids Policies
I found this story on espn.com. It discusses the MLB steroid policy and quotes commissioner Bud Selig as saying the policy is working. I beg to differ. One major leaguer and 38 minor leaguers have been suspended as a result of testing. This shows, perhaps, that the testing is working but that has nothing to […]
Steroid Suspension #1
Tampa Bay Devil Rays outfielder Ãlex Sanchez became the first player suspended under MLBs new steroid testing policy. Sanchez will be suspended for 10 days starting today. In perhaps one of the dumbest plays I’ve seen in baseball since I retired from little league as the least successful rightfielder of all time (I don’t think […]
Calm Down, Red Sox Fans
Whitney at Misery Loves Company has an excellent rant asking Red Sox fans to get on with their lives. They’ve been basking in the afterglow of their world series victory and rubbing it in the rest of the worlds faces even worse than us Mets fans did in 1986. Worth a read.
Misery Loves Company on Bonds
Rob over at Misery Loves Company has a post up about Barry Bonds that is pretty much an add on to my recent post about Bonds. And it’s got a witty title too (for those who remember the early seasons of Saturday Night Live): Barry, You Ignorant Slut. Rob adds a point that I had […]
