Firstly, thank you to the fan who brought the “Big Papi? More like Big Poopie!” sign. You, sir, are a hero. While I am immensely disappointed in myself for not coming up with that scatological nickname — indeed, I’m disappointed that I haven’t even heard it before — I am pleased that you, fan with […]
There’s something uniquely mesmerizing about this photo. Maybe it’s the look on the guy’s face after he completely missed the ball and it hit him in the nuts — something about that look says, “Good thing I only need one.” Or maybe it’s the reaction of all the fans around the guy — […]
Travis Hafner has a fantastic nickname. It’s not one of those silly abbreviation nicknames. No, no T-Haf here. No sir, Travis Hafner is Pronk. In the minors, Hafner had two nicknames: Project and Donkey. Project Donkey already being a successful reality show on Bravo, the two names were combined to the sublime Pronk. I find […]
I have no idea what to make of the news that Tommy Lasorda was invited by President Bush to greet Pope Benedict in Washington this morning. Really, I’m still trying to get over the fact that this isn’t even the first Pope he’s met:
“Lasorda, who has frequently been called on to serve in dignitary roles […]
Did you guys see the line from Johnny Cueto? Yeah, I know, can you believe it. First MLB start and the guy had ten strikeouts. Yeah, I know. He was perfect through five innings too. Yeah, there would be a run to get him off waivers, if I didn’t draft him. Yeah, I drafted him. […]
Ok, I bought it when I heard that a school girl was attacked by a hawk at Fenway Park. I even believed that her name was Alexa Rodriguez. That’s a common enough name, it could happen. I draw the line, however, when someone has pictures of said hawk attack. Really? It just so happened that […]
A day after I proclaimed that the Marlins were the best run franchise in baseball, this happened.
Ryan Church and David Wright each homered, Carlos Beltran had three doubles and the New York Mets pounded out 17 hits in a 13-0 rout of the Florida Marlins.
To be fair, this is one of those years where they’re […]
In terms of monetary worth, at least. Alex Rodriguez is making more this year than the entire Florida Marlins opening day roster, 33% more.
Boosted by his new deal with the New York Yankees, A-Rod tops the major league baseball salary list at $28 million, according to a study of contract terms by The Associated Press. […]
OK, technically there’s been two games already, but those games were played in Japan. I deal with baseball from Japan just like I deal with technology from Japan: months later. And so, because baseball hasn’t really started, I can still do a preview. (It’s true.) The following predictions will certainly be wrong.
AL East - Boston […]
I was looking for a video of Billy Crystal’s spring training at-bat so I could break it down. (He has a pretty good eye. I’m impressed that he took three pitches — I’d be swinging wildy at anything. Plus, he made contact! All-in-all, he did a pretty good job.) I found the video. Lucky for […]
There really isn’t too much of an intro I could give this one. I’ll just let you know that Manny has a copy of The Secret and then let Manny take over from there.
“You’ve got to be a boat knowing where you’re going,” saith the sage of the Green Monster. “We’ve got money. We’re famous. […]
And not just by being irrelevant. (Hiyo!) Billy Crystal will play with the Yankees in their spring training game against the Pirates.
The actor will sign a one-day, minor league contract with the New York Yankees and play in Thursday’s exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Crystal, an avid Yankees fan, will work out with the team […]
In the grand history of rich people having friendly competitions about their rich things, this Hank Steinbrenner vs. John Henry rivalry is pretty tepid. They’re not ruining people’s lives for dollar bets. But still, John Henry has signed Hank Steinbrenner up for citizenship in the Red Sox Nation. Most people didn’t think that you could […]
Roger Clemens, as some of you may be aware, is doing some pitching for the Houston Astros. He’s basically throwing the ball around with the minor leaguers. His son Koby Clemens is one of those Astros minor leaguers.
Obviously, the media has been all over Clemens ever since his much publicized steroids meeting on Capitol Hill. […]
That’s because he’s giving up hand-shakes. Or at least he will be giving up the intricate, celebratory handshakes he used to do with his teammates. Because God forbid that anyone have fun while playing baseball.
In addition to the Mets’ championship dreams, a part of Jose Reyes’ died on that final weekend at Shea Stadium. The […]
Houston Astros outfielder and fellow b5 blogger Hunter Pence spent the night in the emergency room after crashing through a sliding glass door. Firstly, I’m really glad Hunter’s injuries are minor, and I hope he makes a quick recovery. Secondly, I’d like to note how badass Hunter Pence is.
“It’s pretty silly that this kind of […]
Yes! Can you believe it? Even more quotes about baseball and steroids that don’t just seem to be exactly clued in. This one is from extreme peripheral figure Hank Steinbrenner. Hank thinks baseball is unfairly being made the focus of performance-enhancing drugs in sports.
“I don’t like baseball being singled out,” the New York Yankees […]
