I imagine there are two sides to every shirt coin, and a Royals postponement is likely no exception. On the head's side, the old "Hey, at least we didn't lose" phrase gets tossed around. On the tail's, it's "Ah, now we just get to lose twice in one day...

Pour me some DeKuyper, folks. It's All-Star Break time, and that can only mean one thing. Actually, it could mean 100 different things, but who's counting. The one thing that's certain is that this feature will not drag into September this year. You can take that to the...

Hey, look! A photo of Gary Coleman. That must mean it's time to post images of women in various states of undress. I haven't been around much lately, it's true, but I drop in from time to time to talk about the Kennedy Assassination and how truly ghey Tony Gonzalez is....

This is July 15, but more importantly it's the day after the MLB All-Star Game. That makes it, officially, the shittiest day of the year. There is not a single game scheduled in any major sports league or even the NHL. You're going to watch the ESPY awards tonight, unless someone...

There. Now that the American League has its rightful lead with only six outs to go, let's take a moment to examine something important. You know where.During some pre-bedtime InterWebs browsing, I stumbled across this. It's short, sweet, and to the point. That is, the commissioner...

As a sports fan, there are two things that come to mind regarding loyalty to a team. One came from a Mexican line cook I used to manage, who said this: "You can change your religion, your sex, your wife, or your family, but you can never, ever, change your team." The other...
