Yankees 11, Angels 8 - Steinbrenner apparently has financed some sort of time-travel machine to take us back to 1996, as Bernie Williams homers twice.
White Sox 6, Twins 1 - The White Sox avoid the sweep that the other Sox couldn’t.
Mariners 6, Red Sox 3 - I told you, why didn’t you believe me?
Marlins […]

Soon the leaves will begin the change and young adults around the nation will leave their summer jobs to return to the inebriated sanctuary of university life. In those hallowed walls of learning the future will be shaped. And inbetween drunken hookups at fraternities and boredom related hookups at the library, many of these future […]

Thirty-eight fools were soon parted with $1,995 so they could receive their MBAs, Master of Boxing Administration, from Fight Promoter University. (A much better school than Fight Promoter State, that cow college.) The keynote speaker was Jim Lampley, a boxing commentator on HBO. The students completed their training by basically running a fight for Dean […]

Yankees 9, Mariners 2 - King Felix gets roughed up to the tune of seven runs, Chien-Mien Wang gets his 15th win, my fantasy team weeps.
Indians 15, Royals 13 - This is exactly the score I expected when I saw the Royals were up 10-1 in the first. The most amazing thing is that in […]

Jim Leyland’s brother is a priest, Joe Torre’s sister is a nun. Cue worthless column debating for whom God is rooting. Each story is slightly touching human interest story in it’s own right, but they really should be separate stories in the siblings’ respective church newsletter. Jim Leyland takes the proper indignation. His opinion on […]

For only $29.85, you or someone you love can wake up every morning to Dick Vitale shouting “several different ‘wake up’ calls” with the Dick Vitale Alarm Clock. It promises that you’ll “never oversleep again,” which makes sense as the owner of this hellspawn will probably never sleep again, ever. Can’t sleep, Dick Vitale will […]

Steroids were found at a Chinese sports school. Boy, steroids in communist nation training centers, that’s never happened before.
They found appalling evidence of collective doping. Officials caught school staff injecting teenage students with banned substances and confiscated illegal drugs including erythropoietin (EPO) and testosterone. The management of the school not only defied the law but […]

The conundrum: tennis players want supplements, the WTA doesn’t want them to take supplements. The apparent answer: sign a deal to create an official supplement of tennis. I certainly appreciate that the WTA is taking a new approach, rather than banning all the untestable performance-enhancers, they’re getting some cash to only allow one. They’ll still be testing, […]

Orioles 6, Twins 3 - Nick Markakis hit 3 home runs, Baltimore happy for short time.
Mets 8, Cardinals 7 - Pujols drives in all seven runs, still not enough as Beltran his walk-off home-run. Beltran is actually underrated, which seemed impossible two years ago.
Angels 4, Red Sox 3 - Disney’s old team intentionally walks Ortiz, […]

Because today is a very slow news day, any sort of criminal activity peripherally involving an athlete makes the cut. And thusly, reports surfaced today of Zach Randolph’s “involvement” in a sexual assault case. The investigating officer is quick to point out that Zach is not a suspect. Honestly, being part of an investigation isn’t anything […]

I was shocked when I was informed about the positive ‘A’ sample. I have requested that the testing of my ‘B’ sample be expedited and done as soon as possible
No way she forgets the masking agent a second time.

Aaron Rowand has great range in centerfield and goes all out to make the catch. Unfortunately, he often runs into things or people and ends up missing time. Earlier this year, he ran face first into the centerfield wall, breaking his nose. Now he’s out with a broken ankle suffered in a collision with Chase […]

Athletics 12, Blue Jays 10 - Toronto Manager John Gibbons: “Big whoop, want to fight about it?”
Tigers 7, White Sox 1 - Justin Verlander exorcising his Chicago demons is absolutely huh-yuge. He was 0-3 with an ERA near 10 before this game.
Yankees 2, Red Sox 1 - The good news, Boston fans, is this should […]

Juventus, one of the soccer clubs punished in the match-fixing scandal of last year, is filing another appeal. Essentially, their entire case against their relegation is that it would be very damaging to their club.
Relegation will, above all, gravely damage the identity of Juventus.In over a century of existence, Juve have contributed to writing the […]

Yankees 8, Red Sox 5 (1O Innings) - Papelbon blows a 2 run lead, Rivera gets out of a bases-loaded jam, Craig Hansen gets roughed up in the top of the 10th, Rivera gets the save in the bottom half. That probably should have been expected. The “Clutchest Hitter in the History in the World” […]

Palmer’s Status Unclear for Opener Unclear
[Palmer’s status has now “cleared,” so the article has changed to one with a less repetitive title. I’m leaving the post up because I’m happy Palmer’s playing.]
