STEVE AVERY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Former Red Sox Pitcher Steve Avery Wins Car at High School Homecoming Game, But Dealership Later Says He Really Didn't
Former major league pitcher Steve Avery threw his hands in the air in celebration of winning a new car at Cabrini (Mich.) High School's homecoming football game on Sept. 30. The only problem was that he didn't actually win. Avery, who spent 11 seasons in the majors, including two with the Red Sox in 1997 and 1998, had his raffle ticket drawn for a chance to win a two-year lease on...

The Giants Win The Pennant
Bobby Thomson was a very good baseball player. Bill James a few years back ranked him as the 57th-best right fielder in baseball history, a couple of slots behind Jackie Jensen, a few places ahead of Dave Justice. Thomson could run (he once led the National League in triples) and he had some power, and in his four prime years — 1949-1952 — he averaged 26 home runs, 100...

1993 Topps Mike Devereaux
A fun debate broke out on Twitter yesterday and spilled over into today. It was started by the brilliant Jon Bois, who asked the simple question(s):
“Wait, is Eric Karros the most 1992 baseball player? Moreso than Todd Zeile? He just might be. This begs further reflection.”
I said Steve Avery. Others threw out Pat Listach, Phil Plantier, Andy Van Slyke, Travis Fryman, etc., before...

Rays record setting April
The Tampa Bay Rays wrapped up the month of April the same way they wrapped up spring training, setting records. After a record setting number of wins in the Grapefruit League in March, the Rays carried that momentum forward and won more games in April this year than in any April in team history, 17.
The Rays led the majors in multiple categories, runs scored-144. And while the Rays...

Kickin’ It Westside-Eastside-Westside-Eastside-Westside
I learned a few things from the Halos’ complete and utter discombobulating of the Red Sox this past week.
First, I’m apparently pretty darned smart for picking up the Angels because they remind me of the Braves’ juggernauts of old — pitching, pitching, pitching, and when you’re done with that, more pitching. Lackey, Weaver and Kazmir could well be the next ‘Big Three’...

You've Got to Change Your Evil Ways
All of the brouhaha over Johan Santana's tight triceps tendon brings a few varied thoughts to my mind.
While I join most Mets fans in gratitude that this doesn't seem to be a serious problem, I find myself in agreement with The Eddie Kranepool Society's Steve Keane:
I can understand not wanting to spend over 45 mil for Manny Ramirez but you mean to tell me that with the first class...

Mazzone On Baltimore Move: “I Done Messed Up”
During the 1990s, there was no more famous fixture on a major league bench than Rockin? Leo Mazzone, the humorously restless pitching coach for the Atlanta Braves. Under Mazzone?s tutelage, the Braves rolled with Hall of Fame-caliber pitching from John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, and Greg Maddux. Hell, ...

Is Cuthbert REALLY Sloppy Seconds?
Dallas Stars' forward Steve Avery gave what should go down as one of hockey's, if not all of sports', all-time bulletin board material interviews this week in Calgary. The ever-irksome Avery basically called Flames star defenseman Dion Phaneuf's girlfriend, hockey groupie Elisha Cuthbert, his sloppy seconds (actually sloppy thirds since she also dated Canadien Mike Komisarek). Here...

Confessions of a Braves Fan Pulling for the Phillies
The tools of my trade:For blogging. For fuel. For info.I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm hoping for a Philly win tonight. And it's a bandwagon this Braves fan treads lightly upon. I haven't been pulling hard for them the entire series. In fact I've watched many of the games of this Fall Classic to ...
