Dan-you're beginning to bore us
To Dan Shaughnessy: Dan, I have to say you're really getting boring. The crushing Pats loss on Sunday gave you an excuse to go over classic Boston folds-again. Naturally, you start at Fenway: "When it comes to mind-bending, catastrophic calamities, the Red Sox are the gold standard. They produce more agita than The Sopranos. No team does colossal flops like the local nine...

Enough with Jose Mesa already.......
Let's see Pat Gilick, you have a 40 man roster, three levels of minor leagues (not counting rookie A ball teams), and a fan favorite player in AA Reading who hit over .300 last year for the big club. Yet, we the Philadelphia Phillies fans get to read our local paper's transaction wire to see that we re-acquired Jose Mesa with an open roster spot? What is wrong here? No Chris Coste...

John Kasich remembers Jose Mesa’s World Series winning save, and the time Craig Ehlo blocked Michael Jordan’s shot …
It’s not like we’d expect just any Steelers fan to be able to refrain from repeatedly blurting alarmingly sociopathic utterances, but a guy who manages to get himself elected governor of Ohio?
"We have located the DERP."

Illitch Brings the Dolans Back Into the Spotlight
There are plenty of old bits in Cleveland sports. How could the NFL not force the financially strapped Art Modell to sell, or what if LeBron hadn’t been coddled the way he was, or why didn’t Sandy Alomar go out to the mound and yell at Jose Mesa when he was shaking him off in game seven of the ’97 World Series, or Joel Skinner’s stop sign starting the chain of events which...

Baseball According to Chris Wheeler
According to Chris Wheeler preserving a lead in the 9th inning is difficult; in his words, "closing is tough." He continually blurts this mindless crap over and over again as Phils fans endure numerous blown saves by Brad Lidge and now Ryan Madson. If closing is so damn tricky, then please tell me how Jose Mesa has 321 career saves. Shut the f*ck up Wheels!Phillies are...

Alanis Morrisette would have to revise Ironic, as it would be simply mind-blowing. First the Cleveland Barons, then Force, and now an AFL team in its first year of existence?

The Mets Dream Team and the Need for a Nickname Renaissance
I've got a thing for nicknames. They're fun. They add a little spice to life. So, it's not surprising that I dig it when athletes have pseudonyms too. We're not talking about plays on people's real names like "Rhino" for Sandberg. Even Joe Table (for the Tribe's former closer Jose Mesa), which we love, doesn't hit on our nickname criteria. Unfortunately, creative athlete nicknames...

The Top 10 Least Popular Philadelphia Phillies Players Since 2000
Philly fans have a reputation for booing anyone who doesn’t hit .300 with 40 home runs every year, and while that’s maybe a slight exaggeration, you do have to play well to earn your wings in Philly. Philly is a blue-collar city, so you also have to play your hardest. You don’t give it one hundred percent, you have no chance. Just ask Todd Pinkston.
