With the exception of a couple of arms (Felix Hernandez, Michael Pineda), and a couple of young bats (Justin Smoak, Dustin Ackley), this pint-sized fan showcased the most talent that Safeco Field has seen in quite some time. Face it Mariners. You can’t compete with this.
I’ll admit that I’m not a doctor. I know precious little about platelet counts, metabolic rates or white blood cells. Left to my own devices, I probably couldn’t diagnose an injury or provide a very accurate prognosis. But when a player suddenly cuts more than half the time off of his recovery period following a [...]
This spring, Tigers first baseman Miggy Cabrera earned a DUI and got belligerent with officers at the scene. A few weeks ago, Cincinnati’s Mike Leake shoplifted $60 worth of T-shirts from a local Macy’s. Now Atlanta’s Derek Lowe is the one making headlines. The 37 year old sinkerball pitcher was pulled over around 10pm Thursday night in Atlanta. According to [...]
In case you missed it, Atlanta Braves’ pitching coach Roger McDowell insulted and threatened San Francisco Giants fans at a game back on April 23rd.

At the start of the 2010-2011 season, all signs pointed to the UConn women’s team being a likely title-winner. The men? They [...]
Suspect the Yankees of cheating? You’re a “psychotic”. Give your best pitcher the ball as much as possible? You’re an “abuser”. It seems as though the New York Yankees general manager has labels suited to any and all situations this weekend, and isn’t afraid to dish out the criticism. Brian Cashman has been in the [...]
Allow me to drop the superficial objectivity for a moment. It’s dishonest anyway, and I’d prefer to say what many of us are thinking. The Auburn football program is dirty. This is about more than harping on the Newton issue, though that certainly plays a big role in having created the current storm of controversy [...]
