After a brief detour to deal with Manny-mania, I finally finished the Selena Roberts/A-Rod book over the weekend. I originally had thoughts of dissecting the sucker, but upon its completion I realized that, despite all of the hype (to which I helped contribute, I’ll admit), writing a highly-detailed takedown would represent a massively disproportionate response […]

I had meant to get to this when it ran last week, but Manny Mania kind of took over. Anyway, Maury was interviewed in USA Today, and he talks about his site, the business of baseball, and a few other things. Nice exposure for Maury.

On April 30, 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appeared at the World’s Fair, stood in front of NBC’s cameras, and became the first U.S. president to appear on television. Two weeks later, Bill Cosby was given a pilot, and “Law & Order” was launched two weeks after that. True story. Joba turns the other cheek […]

Angels 4, Royals 3: Torii Hunter’s catch in the ninth was sick. After the game, Hunter said that it was his second best of all time, with number one being the one in the 2002 All-Star game where he robbed Barry Bonds of a homer. But unlike the 2002 All-Star game, someone won this game, […]

This is pretty much the perfect link on which to end a week like the one we’ve just lived through. I may have a post or two tonight on NBC, but as soon as those go live, I’m going to sleep and I’m not waking up until Monday morning. Have a good weekend everyone.

This week on “Law and Order: MLB”: Excuse me for asking, but how do we know that Ken Griffey didn’t juice? A.J. Hinch? Really? Junk bonds! Get yer read hot JUNK bonds! R.I.P., Little Professor Finally,

“Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant Thursday evening to you, wherever you may be. The Dodgers and the city of Los Angeles and all of California and for that matter, all of baseball, still shocked and stunned over the suspension of Manny Ramirez. We’ll have more to say about that a little bit later on […]

A slightly superficial edition this morning, as I was working on another writing project last night. I’m so lazy about this that I’m not even going to link up the box scores, so if you want them, go here. Apologies, but I’m freakin’ tired, dudes: Nationals 11, Dodgers 9: I’m guessing at this point that […]

At least some folks think it to be the case: Less than a week after the team slashed prices for many of its premium tickets, hundreds of premium New York Yankees tickets are turning up on StubHub, and speculation is rising that the team or intermediaries may have posted them. While there is no direct […]

Um, OK: A source close to Manny Ramirez said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not “an agent customarily used for performance enhancing.” At least not on the baseball diamond. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex […]
