Oh My God, I Just Took A Huge Link Dump (Today's Links)

Lions fans really REALLY hate Matt Millen. Holding up "Fire Matt Millen" signs is one thing, but this is entirely different.Bears sign ex-Northwestern QB Basanez to 2-year deal. Really? What exactly does this do?The Bulls didn't look terrible, but they did lose to the Rockets to snap their ...

The 2001 Minnesota Twins — AKA The Center of the Baseball Universe

Baseball'sA Final Four has been set, and in the end there can be only one but regardless ofA how you slice it, the 2008 major league post-season would not be happeningA were it not for the 2001 Minnesota Twins. Stick with me,A see this phenomenonA is stranger and delvesA far deeper than those six degrees of Kevin Bacon we always hear about [...]

Mister Twenty

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:32:55 -0500

If you caught any of that awful series against the Seattle Mariners, after each commercial break you were greeted with a brief advertisement to watch Cliff Lee as he goes for win number 20. Worry not that the Indians were about to be swept by the worst team in the American League - just tune in on Monday night to see if Cliff Lee makes history. And wouldn't you know it... AJ Pierzynski did his best to try and upstage the event! Far-fetched, we know...

This Is Interference

On Willy Aybar. As opposed to the guy who threw an elbow at him. Unbelievable.

A.J. Being A.J.

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:11:35 -0500

If it's an extra-inning game that the Sox absolutely need to win, A.J. Pierzynski will try anything to give his team a better chance to win. I just can't believe the umpires keep falling for his shenanigans. In today's must-win series finale against the might Rays, Pierzynski found himself in a rundown after straying too far [...]

What do Jerry Springer and the Boston Red Sox have in common?

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:01:28 -0500

I don't usually venture into the world of MLB around here, it doesn't interest me as much until October, but the All Star Game gives me reason every year. My normal irritation is with way these teams are picked...Popularity Contests...Especially with home field advantage for the World Series being decided by the winner. I always wondered why MLB would grant control of such an important thing to the least informed group of people, The Average Fan. I shudder when I think that if my Diam...

TOP 10 REASONS WHY KERRY WOOD FLASHED THE OLD DOUBLE HI SIGN

by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool 10. Really not enjoying the ChiSox avenging last weekend's sweep 9. Highly opposed to Fox's biased baseball coverage 8. Thought he saw Dusty Baker in the stands 7. Hasn't forgiven Fox for the repeated reaction shots of his wife in the playoffs 6. Wanted to see if he could inspire a terrorist freakout in Boston 5. Has Tourette's of the hands 4. New exercise program to prevent further rotator cuff injuries 3. Natural reaction to being in the same ba...

These Are Your Managers Chicago Fans

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:52:50 -0500

There's really no way to prepare you for what you are about to see, so we'll just go right into it. Here's your first look at the Chevy commercial that WGN aired with Lou Pinella and Ozzie Guillen rapping.... Ummmm....wow. I guess there really isn't anything else left to say. The only thing that was missing was Carlos Zambrano and AJ Pierzynski breakdance fighting in the background.

Chicago's Un-Civil War

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:32:15 -0500

Wrapping up this weekend's event we saw one of the great rivalries in sports. I'll admit the first couple years of interleague play it was a made for TV event. Cub fans didn't care about the Sox and the same was true of Sox fans. The Cub fans were much, much happier watching the Cubs take down the Red Birds in the Lou than watching them defeat their southern bretheren. Then something happened. Everyone expected a rivalry that wasn't there. Then after a couple years when the Se...

GNUru Mailbag: Closer Conundrum?

Mon, 14 May 2007 22:14:50 -0500

As impatient owners drop quality players, log-jam rosters are bound to occur. Here, the GNUru adivses a loyal reader on what to do with his stock pile of closers as well as providing advice on what the common mistakes fantasy owners make early in the season! I'm in a 5x5, 12 team, H2H Yahoo Public and over the weekend I was able to add 2 good players- T. Saito and G. Atkins who were dropped on Thursday. I used my #5 priority on Saito and dropped Oliver Perez before his good start on Sunday. Atkins then cleared waivers, I was surprised so I grabbed him for Gorzelanny. So my team looks this now:

Sports Bloggers Reveal Their Favorite Baseball Players

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 12:24:00 -0500

Two weeks ago, with baseball season fast approaching, I thought we needed to do something special to kick off the 2007 campaign. We wanted to do something big, something lasting and something involving other members of this loosely-connected fraternity we call the sports blogosphere. With that in mind we emailed what we consider to be our favorite sites and asked them one question: Who is your favorite baseball player of all-time, and why? The results of this little project blew us away.

Pierzynski Making the Rounds

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 22:09:27 -0500

Apparently, Pierzynski will be appearing in a tag team match at a TNA Pay-Per-View. For those that don't know, TNA is a lesser version of the WWE. Team Eckstein? Don't tell me that little douchebag will be making an appearance. I simply can't believe what the hell

Joe Cowley is a Joke

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 18:39:38 -0500

As I said yesterday and in my award picks I did not think Morneau deserved the MVP and I thought Derek Jeter did. Well listening to the major culprit Joe Cowley, of the Chicago Sun Times, the man who voted Jeter 6th, speaking on the radio it is blatantly obvious that this man is an idiot and does not deserve a vote. First I can see how you can look at the statistics and see all of Morneau's RBIs and HRs and average for a team that did not have overpowering offense statistics and vote h...
