A-Rod has become the youngest person ever to reach the 600 home run mark. And there’s those who love the guy (note the following AP butt kissing Video) and those who sort of hate the guy … check out the hard to misinterpret headline “Rodriguez a fraud among baseball gods“ … ok then.. Apparently you either hate or love this guy. Well it’s better than some who people don’t care if you win the lottery or get hit by a bus. .. Trust me on that one.

If I were a major league player the following would definitely apply to me given my luck. First off, I’d be a major leaguer by the seat of my pants. I’d have one foot into Triple A Ball at all times and just by sheer luck there would be no one better around to kick me down there. Second, given the reason I just gave for being in the majors my team would not be any good (and therefore I could make the team). However, this would also mean that the All-Star Game would have to pick [click to contimue reading...]
The three top reasons why it’s tough to be an Orioles Fan (the worst team in the laegue, article here). Here they are: You have the worse record in professional baseball. .. Well someone has to have it I guess. But at least you use to be able to point to the Nationals and by comparison not feel so bad. But with the Strasburg Phenomenon even though they are still terrible they still can be interesting to watch (for the games that Strasburg Pitches.. if just to see if the offense can at least get [click to contimue reading...]
Edwin Jackson pitched a no-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays and most of the headlines also put in (the forth no-hitter of the season). You know sometimes you can’t win even when you do win. Sort of like taking a lady to a four star restaurant when the last three guys she dated have done the same… Yawn… just the bad luck of the draw my friend. … So, congrats to Edwin Jackson. Awesome athletic performance against your former teammates (that HAS to sweeten the deal for him). And for the rest of us remember, [click to contimue reading...]

A post at RedSoxUp on how a left field seat when the Red Sox will be in town will go for about $57.50 but when the O’s were in town a few weeks ago…
I swore off this blog but who can resist the Lady Gaga story. Supposedly loaded, wearing bra and panties.. I like this statement in the article “..In a drunken stupor, she then talked her way in the Yankee clubhouse…” Right, a beautiful, drunken multimillionaire has to talk her way into the clubhouse….Yeah… I’m sure she said something convincing such as “Hi”.. .. ok,ok we’ll let you into the clubhouse, you talked us into it… anyway here’s the source article, the kind of stuff that I hate but it has a good pic of her bra so [click to contimue reading...]
A game of perfection. Perfection, as in, cannot be pitched any better. … This is definitely one of those “If I’d only known” moments. After-all there was hardly anyone in attendance (many, many men I’m sure were on the verge of jumping out the window last night because they took Wifey out to Applebee’s for Mother’s Day instead of going to that once in a lifetime game…(just glad it wasn’t me..(I got to see the Red Sox Trounced on Saturday while being battered by pouring rain, cold temps and wind, a real fun fest it [click to contimue reading...]
So you’re sitting back, had a few brews and whoa this baseball is flying right out of your TV and coming right at you. .. You dive off the couch, crash over that stupid vase on the coffee table and try explaining to your wife that you’re not loaded.. (a bit scared is all). This in much the same way as movies with a speeding train would flip out people 90 years ago … so will baseball when it comes to 3-D this July. So we’ll get more of the taser guy and really see [click to contimue reading...]
Navarro accidentally on purpose bumped the ump with his chest protector in an argument about a disputed call. When you look at the video (here) it’s impossible to see at first. Then they replay it up-close and there was some what looks like a gut bump. So he got tossed. The real shame is that he really didn’t get a chance to give the ump a piece of his mind. The bump came way too soon. A better strategy of course would be to yell at the ump, call him this and that piece of whatever [click to contimue reading...]

OK in the Sporting News Blog (“the Sporting Blog”, wish I had thought of grabbing that domain) they say that Tampa Bay may be the best team in baseball… then they go on to say that here’s some stats that the Yankees may be better….then they go on to say that well if the Yanks are better look at their payroll… What the heck?! Baseball people not only like to put out comments they know will start an argument (Tampa the best even though the season is still wet behind the ears) they love to [click to contimue reading...]
