Dodgers 17, Brewers 4: In a scene out of late-80s WCW, after the game, Prince Fielder ran through the underground tunnels to go put a hurt on Guillermo Mota in retaliation for a ninth-inning plunking. Fortunately for Mota’s health and Fielder’s wallet, he was stopped at the Dodgers’ clubhouse door (though I’m guessing he’s gonna […]

All I have to say is boo friggin’ hoo to these guys who get paid 7 or 8 figures a year to play a game… Suck it up and deal with it. Not like baseball requires much physical exertion, you stand out in the field and maybe sprint 8 or 9 times in a 3 […]

Rob, please come back from your vacation soon, because I don’t know that I can take much more of this.

Lots of talk recently about the ethics of blockquotes and linkbacks and all of that. First you had the AP being silly. Then, on Sunday, came the much-discussed Ian Shapira article in the Washington Post. Today Maury applies that to baseball, talking about the role of “aggregators” such as Baseball Think Factory, MLB Trade Rumors, […]

That dude who threw that ball at that fan got convicted. Sorry for the brevity. I’m thinking about fair use and attribution and stuff right now, so I’m kind of afraid to type anything (another post to follow).

As best we can tell, this is the offending tweet, from July 31 at 3:46 p.m.: “Man we have 2 have the most nasty […]

Thanks to the law, my day just exploded again. I don’t think it will take me out of blogging all afternoon, but things may once again be light today. A thousand pardons. For now: Brandon Webb has his owie fixed. Wanna win the World Series? Beat up on the cupcakes! See cathedral mountains, see the […]

All law and no blogs makes Craig a dull boy. Let’s try to remedy that today, shall we? Nationals 8, Pirates 4: The Laughingstock Series went four games, and nothing was decided. Adam Dunn went 3-for-4 and was a triple short of the cycle. He may as well have been eight unicorns, cold fusion and […]

Sorry folks, no ATH today, as I am spending the morning in beautiful downtown Cincinnati, Ohio arguing a case before the Court of Appeals for the First Appellate District of the State of Ohio (I’m assuming it’s the “first” because they started counting them south-to-north). It’s a complex case involving state constitutional issues, procedural matters, […]

Pete Toms is the dean of ShysterBall commenters. His son — age 6 — is a Blue Jays fan. His son — age 6 — has a blog. He needs traffic. Let’s all go read it and leave some comments. And remember: he’s 6, dudes. Be cool. And don’t patronize him. Let’s talk Jays ball.
