MLB had to do something about Tony LaRussa’s comments during a Game 2 in-dugout interview. The comment: “I would add — which could get me in trouble, but I’m going to add anyway — is that we are pitching to two different strike zones.” You’re right, Tony. You did get in trouble. LaRussa was fined … Continue reading LaRussa’s criticism of umpires lands him a fine from MLB
I really don’t condone running on the field. In fact, I think this kid deserved what he got. So rather than remembering the moment for the kid, I’m going to remember moment #9 as the Philadelphia Police doing the right thing and zapping this clown. Taser Bro, as we refer to him, was a huge … Continue reading 2010 Moment: #9 “Don’t tase me, bro!”
Dear Idiots, Yea, I’m talking to you, the 17-year old clown and the old fat guy trying to be as cool as a high schooler. So tell me kid: was running onto the field worth getting yourself tased?

I was bored at work today and my friend challenged me to make a line up of the biggest douche bags in baseball. I decided to one-up him and make a 25-man roster. This may not be the most loved team but it would sure win a World Series if the players were at their … Continue reading All Douche Bag Team
J-Roll returns to lead off: article Jimmy Rollins is back in the lead off spot tonight. Charlie Manuel is freakin’ stubborn. Your offense has found a spark with the absence of Rollins. Even though Shane Victorino has struggled leading off (.133 AVG; .235 OBP in four games), I would have still kept him there. “I … Continue reading News 6/30
