Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:23:11 -0500

Lastings Milledge continues to impress the Pirates. Do you want to see Milledge on stage with Jo Dee Messina at PNC Park this Saturday? Most of the Pirates fans would settle for just seeing him on the field playing. Not singing. But if both were to happen PNC Park would be sold out. Milledge has done [...]

Milledge Goes Yard Twice. OK, Sweet, Get Him in LF at PNC

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:40:13 -0500

Pittsburgh Pirate Lastings Milledge was told by the front office that he needed to prove he could play his way on to the Pittsburgh Pirates roster. Do two home runs in Class A Lynchburg last night count? Milledge had a solo shot in the first inning to put the Hillcats on top 1-0. Unfortunately, that wasn’t [...]

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:30:20 -0500

Are The Washington Nationals Trying To Trade Lastings Milledge? I noticed some traffic coming my way from MLBTradeRumors.com this afternoon, and when I looked I saw that MLBTR.com writer Cork Gaines had linked to my interview with Sports Illustrated writer Lee Jenkins. While lurking around MLBTR.com, I came across a link in MLBTR writer Ben Nicholson-Smith's post entitled, "Heyman on Penny, Ackley, Milledge", which led to SI.com writer Jon Heyman's article entitled...

Former Nationals outfielder Lastings Milledge is currently rotting away in AAA Syracuse, but he was with the big club long enough to get his name on the All-Star ballot for the National League. Sons of Sam Horn and Bootlegger Sports both have started campaigns to get Milledge into the All-Star game. So how did [...]

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 16:17:01 -0500

At one time, Lastings Milledge was one of the hottest prospects in all of baseball. At 21, he was the youngest player in all of baseball when the Mets brought him up in 2006, and he was a player with seemingly limitless tools. But one year later, the Mets had washed their hands of him, [...]

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 18:47:33 -0500

Eaaaaaaasy there big fella, might want to find some time for an apple in between all those magical moments with Hostess. As for the dancing, we don't need to hope that this song was playing when the photo was taken.

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 01:24:38 -0500

Here's the footage of Manny Acta and Elijah Dukes going at it in the dugout after Lastings Milledge hit a homer to give the Nationals the league. Needless to say, they are not happy with each other for some reason.

Ryan Church: The Mets' new Rightfielder an Anti-Semite

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 21:44:48 -0500

Does anyone remember this? Back in 2005, Ryan Church was quoted on the front page of the Washington post, alluding that Jews were doomed to Hell. His exact quote, ""I said, like, Jewish people, they don't believe in Jesus. Does that mean they're doomed? Jon nodded, like, that's what it meant. My ex-girlfriend! I was like, man, if they only knew. Other religions don't know any better. It's up to us to spread the word," Church said. (Jon being the team's C...

Mets' outfielder Lastings Milledge sure is making the most of his time on the DL. Milledge, currently out with a sprained foot ligament, recently popped up in the news for his appearance on a profanity-laced rap track, aptly titled 'Bend Ya Knees'.

L Millz Learned Nothing From Carmelo Anthony's Experience

Wed, 16 May 2007 21:41:00 -0500

Mets outfielder Lastings Milledge is on the DL. Not really news, right? Well, he has somehow still found his way into the papers despite not playing. And not for a good reason either.

Wed, 16 May 2007 17:19:12 -0500

Mets outfielder Lastings Milledge is the latest professional athlete to enter the rap music arena. The sexually-explicit lyrics in his first song have the Mets distancing themselves from his off-the-field musical exploits:

Another Toe Out the Door for Millz

Wed, 16 May 2007 04:16:57 -0500

This is unbelievable. If you're Lastings Milledge, wouldn't you just lay low for a while? It's become painfully obvious that this guy has no future with the Mets...the only question now is how much value does he have. I was hoping for a Milledge and Pelfrey for Zambrano type deal, but now I don't know if that would even be enough to get Big-Z.
