Innocent Girl Felled by Spherical Object Impacting Her Cranium

Published on: 10th March, 2010

Isn’t that much better than a generic title, along the lines of “Softball Player Hit in Head With Ball,” or something similar.  See, what my title does is spice things up a bit, gets the reader’s morbid curiosity aroused, then draws them into the interwoven tapestry that is this article.  And once the reader is [...]

Flying Hot Dogs, Detached Retinas and Sluggerrr, the KC Royals Mascot

Published on: 24th February, 2010

Put them all together and what have you got?  A nearly blind Royals fan who’s suing the team.
Hey, when you’re at a ballgame, you have to be on the lookout for a wayward foul ball heading your way–but having to keep an eye out for flying hot dogs tossed by a guy dressed as a [...]

Bonds and McGwire Should Stay Away From Fargo, ND For a While

Published on: 5th February, 2010

Is it just me, or has there been an inordinate amount of fan-purchased billboards popping up lately, voicing some complaint that a particular team’s fanbase might have?  It’s getting to be an epidemic of sorts.  Eventually all communication will be done via billboard, if this trend keeps up.
Which is how we end up in Fargo, [...]

Minor League Team to Honor a Great American Hero

Published on: 1st February, 2010

I said Great American hero, not the Greatest American Hero, so don’t expect “William Katt Night” at the old ballpark anytime soon.  Not that that wouldn’t be the Greatest American Promotion Ever (see what I did there).
No, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs are honoring a Washington state man by the name of Jeff Olson.  Believe me, [...]

Mike Piazza’s Golf Bag Comes With It’s Own Roadie

Published on: 1st February, 2010

Mike Piazza was always kind of a rock star back in the day, what with the killer mustache and top-notch mullet.  Plus he married a Playboy playmate, which was nice.
But since retiring in 2007, we haven’t heard much from Piazza.  Until now.
Even though the mustache is gone, and the mullet history, Piazza is still a [...]

A’s Prospect Grant Desme Seeks Higher Calling

Published on: 22nd January, 2010

It’s weird refreshing to see that for some people, it’s not always about the money.  For me, it is all about the money, because I have none, which isn’t too great when you have a crystal meth addiction like I do.  But I get by.
Grant Desme is one of the top prospects in the Oakland [...]

Carlton Fisk Cares Not for Mark McGwire’s Confession

Published on: 20th January, 2010

I’ll admit, I’ve never been that big of a Carlton Fisk fan.  Great career, Hall of Famer, orchestrated one of the iconic moments in baseball history.  I respected him as a player, but that’s about it.
My god how that has changed.  I think I love Carlton Fisk.  Seriously.
While many people in and around the baseball [...]

Mark McGwire Reveals What Most of us Already Knew

Published on: 11th January, 2010

Well, you can officially add Mark McGwire to the face of steroids, joining such notable turds as Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens and Manny Ramirez.  It took a while, but Big Mac finally came clean about his steroid use.
“I wish I had never touched steroids,” McGwire said in a statement. “It was foolish and [...]

Report: Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly are Heading to the Altar

Published on: 10th January, 2010

This is totally unconfirmed.  Which means it as of yet not been confirmed.  Confirmation is pending.  Got it.
A report from the NY Post has the Yanks MVP planning a November wedding with his uber-smoking hot girlfriend, Minka Kelly.  The date is allegedly set for November 5th, which is good news for you Yankee fans.  The [...]

The 1986 Dodgers Remind Us Why the 80’s Sucked

Published on: 8th January, 2010

I don’t know about any of you, but when I reminisce about the 80’s, it isn’t with any sort of fondness.  Granted, I was an awkward, socially inept pre-teen, but that’s besides the point.  The point is, the 80’s was a decade of bad hair, bad clothes and bad music.  I drink heavily to forget [...]
