With LA Laker Ron Artest still on his nationwide tour of insanity (he recently ‘took over’ the ESPN The Magazine offices for their most recent issue), Sacramento King and reigning Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans decided it was his responsibility to fill the crazy athlete void in California by getting in a high speed [...]
If prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, then journalism wasn’t far behind it out of the womb. And just like any set of twins—their similarities are striking. Nobody gets into prostitution because they love sex. Just like no one gets into journalism because they love writing. Both breeds of human just realize that they have [...]
Tuesday morning was good to me. I woke up with David Ortiz as the home run champion (or Jose Ortiz if you’re Bobby Valentine) and George Steinbrenner dead. Apparently God had been getting my letters about my deep seeded desire to witness a Red Sox player be named the best at batting practice and see [...]
NEW POST: For video of the fan killed trying to get a foul ball during a game Thursday, July 7th 2011, click here. —– In what I can only describe as the most eye opening example of the state of this country’s economy, a fan at the Rangers/Indians game last night took a 30 foot [...]
You know how we always wish that the omnipresent jackass on his cellphone at baseball games would get hit in his face while he carried on his undoubtedly unimportant conversation? Well…wish granted, courtesy of Seattle’s Rob Johnson, who delivered a well placed ground rule double to one lucky Yankees fan’s domepiece. Of course, the always [...]
With Daisuke Matsuzaka returning to his role of pitching behind in the count and making it insufferable to watch a Red Sox game, space had to be opened up on the 25-man roster—space made by placing the scarcely used Mike Lowell on the 15-day DL with “hip problems.” Of course no one really thinks Lowell’s [...]
You and I aren’t all that different. We both spent a summer month back in 2006 getting caught up in the fervor of World Cup soccer. We were impressed by the traditions and histories. We learned the players’ names and styles. We were enchanted by the beauty and fluidity of the game. We made a [...]
In case any of you Sox fans have noticed, and judging by the votes, you haven’t, the 2010 MLB All Star game is fast approaching. But for anyone expecting to see a Red Sox player jog out of the dugout in Anaheim for the start of this year’s Midsummer Classic, be prepare to be anywhere [...]
I’ve literally been waiting since the inception of the Tampa Bay franchise to write that headline. Mark another one off the bucket list. Check out the legendary “Shortgoria” in the video below:
Well, it’s been a week, and I’m just starting to get over the tragic loss of the 2010 Boston Bruins’ playoff run. The past several days have really been a textbook lesson in the mourning process, as I went through all the standard Kubler-Ross stages of grief. First there was denial: “I must be having [...]
For anyone hoping to garnish some good will in a sports nation that has all but fallen in love with hating us, you can forget it. Between Marc Savard “biting” Dan Carcillo during a post-whistle scuffle in Game 2 of the Bruins-Flyers series, and Danny Ainge tossing a towel in the air to distract Cleveland [...]
Not only is Jack Edwards a fan of hyperbolic statements and blatant homer-ism, he’s also a fan of New Jack swing artists like Color Me Badd, Bobby Brown, Blackstreet, and Boston’s own Bel Vid Devou, as evidence on his appearance on the Toucher and Rich Show on 98.5 The Sports Hub last week. Dope Beats [...]
I want to preface this by saying that I am no draft expert. I casually watch college football on Saturdays in the fall, but a majority of that time is spent with one hand firmly grasping a beer and the other hand deeply entrenched down my sweatpants, firmly grasping something else. Not exactly the look [...]
With the Bruins dropping the puck on their run to the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday night, and the Celtics ready to tip off against the Heat on their journey to grab title No. 18, I thought now would be a most appropriate time to partake in one of my favorite and most cliché sports [...]
Chan Ho Park basically won the game for the Sox in the season opener. Now, after watching this video, you can learn why. Feel free to insert your own “problem with runs” or “crappy performance” pun in comments section below, I’ll have no part in such low brow humor.
