Jonathan Lee Riches, like most people currently incarcerated, has a lot of free time on his hands. Some exercise, some work towards obtaining a college degree, and some file hand-written lawsuits against public figures, both dead and alive. Well, that last one may be unique to Riches. During his time in prison for wire fraud, [...]

Work it Tito, work it! Yep, that’s 51-year-old Terry Francona, manager of the Boston Red Sox, celebrating his daughter’s engagement in the most fitting way possible…shirtless and flexing. Seems appropriate to me–this is exactly how I celebrated my son’s briss, only fatter, drunker and oilier. Gotta give it to Francona here—he’s in pretty good shape [...]

From the Trenton Thunder’s “Football Kickoff Night” comes this picture of the world’s most interesting 8-year-old. Little man with some sweet bling is autographing the ball for these three Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders, and not the other way round. The story is as impressive as this kid’s smoothness. From Thunder public relations director Bill Cook… The [...]

As far as managerial meltdowns go, this is nearly as good as Phil Wellman’s epic tantrum of three years ago. While Wellman’s is the gold standard, Gary Robinson’s tirade is right up there too. Robinson, the State College (Pa.) Spikes manager, was upset with a call by umpire Roberto Ortiz, and the two jawed back [...]

But this is not your ordinary “kidnap and try and kill your ex” story. No it is not. Burgos allegedly abducted his former wife from the home [...]

I sorta promised myself I’d lay off posting anything related to the douchebag formerly known as Jose Canseco, pictured here signing autographs for people who mistook him for Erik Estrada. But then I heard about the chance to be an extra in a movie that is filming at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio, co-starring [...]

Unfortunately Nyjer didn’t channel Belle’s hitting prowess, but rather his penchant for blowing his top and hurling balls at heckling fans…this one time anyway. Totally under the radar came the announcement that Morgan, center fielder for the Washington Strasburgs Nationals, was suspended by MLB for seven games after an incident Saturday night in Philadelphia. A [...]

Was it really just four days ago that we witnessed quite possibly the best catch of a foul ball in the history of foul ball catching? Maybe having that dude’s spectacular one-handed grab fresh makes this piss-poor effort all that more terrible. And terrible it is. Nice hand-eye coordination preppy. What, did you lose the [...]

Listen up people–now I’m sure you’re all aware of the 5-second rule. Just to clarify, the food has to have been dropped in a relatively clean and safe area, free of any visible debris. Bathrooms (public or otherwise), supermarket floors and restaurants are definite no-no’s. Same goes for stadium floors. And if I have to [...]

From here on out, anytime a fan makes a smooth, effortless catch of a foul ball, it will forever be known as making an “Ian Driben.” Who’s Ian Driben you ask? He’s that fan in the picture proudly holding up a foul ball he just caught, on the fly, one-handed, while carrying a tray of [...]
