Posted Tuesday October 27, 2009, About: FBI agent questions McGwire's return
Of course, with Tony mentoring him, McGwire might claim he wasn't taking steriods, he was just tired and fell asleep at the needle.
Posted Tuesday October 20, 2009, About: Titans owner won't promise Fisher's return
More like an owner problem.
Posted Friday September 11, 2009, About: Phillies have plan to fix Lidge
The Astros had a plan for fixing Lidge, too. Trade him. They tried other things to fix him for two years and nothing worked, other than making him a set-up man. I hope the Phillies don't fall into that trap.
Posted Friday August 07, 2009, About: LeBron: I didn't want dunk tape confiscated
Shenanigans. I took him two months to come up with that? If what he said was true, he would have said it the day after it happened.
Posted Friday August 07, 2009, About: Crabtree threatens to re-enter draft
Where does this moron think he will be picked next year? #1? After this stunt and a year off of football, he might be lucky to be picked on the first day.
Posted Friday August 07, 2009, About: Mets may trade Wagner before return
It's a good deal for the Mets if they can get anything for Wagner. He's old and coming of Tommy John's. Plus, he hates his teammates. I can't imagine any team would give up much for him.
Posted Thursday August 06, 2009, About: Mets lose another pitcher
Their surgery card has to be full by now. When do they get their free one?
Posted Thursday August 06, 2009, About: Vince Young: I will be in Hall of Fame
Oh, you should have kept reading, you might have liked it.
Posted Thursday August 06, 2009, About: Vince Young: I will be in Hall of Fame
Be fair people. He can do it. I mean technically, Fred Merkle is "in" the baseball hall of fame.

It's funny, a few years ago, all of the VY people would be out, defending this idiot. Where did they go? Are they still sending hate mail to the Texans because the Texans picked Mario Williams over Vince Young; or are they at home, watching the Limited Edition Vince Young Hooked on Phonics DVD?
Posted Thursday August 06, 2009, About: Vince Young: I will be in Hall of Fame
I'm trying to think of other third string quarterbacks who might have a better chance of being being the next black quarterback to win the superbowl and to getting into the hall-of-fame. I'm going to say Rex Grossman. I know he's not black but he has already been in a superbowl and has more of a chance of suddenly becoming black than Vince Young does of suddenly becoming an NFL caliber quarterback.
Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: Braun's comments upset Brewers GM
Braun has always seemed like a little bit of a prima donna and the more popular he gets, the less inhibitions he has. Enjoy your club house cancer, Brewers fans.
Posted Monday June 01, 2009, About: Oswalt looking for new team?
The reason for the playoff runs is sitting in an office in Tampa Bay.
Posted Monday June 01, 2009, About: Oswalt looking for new team?
It's that time of the year again? We go through this every year the Astros suck (every year for the past 4 years). Oswalt signed a big new contract with a no-trade clause. That way McLane gets to keep him and Oswalt gets to stay. I really don't think he is going anywhere.
Plus, the Peavy thing in nonsense. Why would Oswalt get mad now instead of when they failed to get Peavy in the offseason? Oswalt isn't dumb; he knows the Astros have nothing valuable enough to acquire Peavy.
You can't blame the Randy Johnson and Beltran trades for the current state of the Astros. The Johnson trade was ten years ago so any prospects have either made it or are now merchandising for Dr. Pepper. I think the Astros gave up Buck and Dotel for Beltran.
What really hurt the Astros was Tim Purpura trying to prove himself as a GM, for which he was totally unqualified. He basically destroyed the farm for Jason Jennings and Aubrey Huff and then tied the Astros hands as far as free agency goes by signing Lee. Of course, Lee and Tejada are the only Astros who actually seem to be enjoying themselves, so that's something.
Also, Hidalgo, Ensberg, and Ausmus had nothing to so with the reason the Astros are in last place this year. Hidalgo was gone in 2004. We never had a better catcher than Ausmus (sad, isn't it?). Ensberg wasn't making any money. I don't understand how you could blame it on them rather than on Purpura.
Posted Tuesday May 12, 2009, About: Cuban apologizes to Martin & family
Stern: Apologize or I'll fine you.
Cuban: Can I do it on my blog? I don't want to have to look at that thug's mother in the face while I'm apologizing.
Stern: No.
Cuban: What if I offer her a suite and free food later in the series, knowing it won't come back to Dallas, so it's an empty promise?
Stern: Fine, now about the cameraman, I've been talking to Kenny Rogers...
Posted Friday April 17, 2009, About: Ump claims Bradley bumped him
We once heckled Milton Bradley at a game and he turned and started responding within 5 seconds. No kidding. We weren't being profane or anything and he wasn't getting angry, but it's amazing that he would be so easily distracted.
Posted Wednesday April 08, 2009, About: Piniella denies Yankees future
Nope, it's just true. Braves and Cubs fans outside of their respective markets are largely just bandwagon fans who want to be seen as baseball fans but also want to be different so they latch on to a team that is available to them but is not their hometown team. This also allows them the luxury of not knowing anything about baseball but with the reduced risk of anyone else finding out. I mean, can a non-Cuns fan name any position player besides Ramirez, Lee, Soriano and Soto? When the Cubs come to town, they are overly obnoxious and spout off Cubs power words and phrases like "Cubbies" "This park is nice but it's not like Wrigley," and "I'm going to get another pocketful of sausages, do you want anything?" You can spot them by their aforementioned behavior, the Cubs merchandise from head to toe and them seemingly not paying attention to the game but making generic baseball comments every few minutes (between sausage and beer breaks). I think they reflect poorly on real Cubs fans (someone who has been to a game a Wrigley can tell me that) and if I was a Cubs fan, I would disown them from my fanbase.

Gunslinger,
It looks like you are unpopular with people who choose their favorite baseball team based on availability of games on their basic cable package.
Posted Tuesday April 07, 2009, About: Titans pushing Vince Young out?
"A healthy Vince Young in another system that knows how to use him"

The Giants need a wide receiver.
Posted Wednesday March 25, 2009, About: McDaniels: I didn't go after Cassel
Shenanigans. Why mention this after Cutler has been throwing a fit for a month? If it was true, he would have mentioned it right away. Also, his assertion that Belichick would only trade Cassel to a team that would not benefit from having him is laughable. Good luck Denver, your new coach is a moron. I liked your old one.
Posted Tuesday March 24, 2009, About: Inside NFL's new 'Brady Rule'
I think Pass Rushers are special players that make the game special. To help them continue to be special, there should be a special rule that allows unimpeded access to the passer. I think defense is a special part of the game and I especially like sacks. More sacks=better football, so the rules should be changed to allow more sacks.
Posted Thursday March 12, 2009, About: Kobe goes off on trash-talking Artest
Artest got lucky. Bryant could have done to Artest what he did to that girl in Colorado.
