Great offensive output from the Mets tonight. Carlos Beltran and David Wright were robbed of home runs. Carlos robbed by to a blown call by the umpires and David due to the fact that the Marlins play in a ridiculous football stadium with a 600 foot deep centerfield fence. Carlos getting...

The Giants are in the Super Bowl?
Even more of a shock is the line hovering around two touchdowns, which may be attributed to their last Meeting in Giants Stadium. I wouldn't put too much weight on that game. If you want to take anything from that game, it should be that Down-Syndrome...

I can’t wait until Phillies fans discover why this is funny. It just goes to show, no matter what she says or how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit. Of course I could be wrong, maybe Brett Myers is going to teach her a lesson. Isn’t domestic violence...

Hi, I'm surefire Hall of Fame Pitcher Roger Clemens. If you want to win 300 games like I did, chances are you're going to need a little help. I recommend HGH, but if your old school, you might go the steroids route. Both options are great; I would have been out of the game in [...]
