Foulke Wants Winning World Series Ball?

Apparently Red Sox closer Keith Foulke isn’t happy that the famous ball he tossed to first to win Boston’s first World Series in damn near a century, isn’t on his mantle.
He was quoted yesterday as saying,
“It’s not on my mantel where it should be…It’s one of those deals where I got the last out. I […]

Ok so we’ve got one guy missing part of a game from laughing too hard, and now we’ve got another minor leaguer suspended indefinitely…for what, you ask? How about for chucking his freaking bat and hitting the umpire in the chest!
One of Tampa Bay’s top prospects, Delmon Young was called out on strikes in […]

Outfielder Injured…In Laughing Attack

Man, how silly is this guy feeling?!  Omaha Royals outfielder Kerry Robinson ended up delaying the entire game a few minutes when he was being tended to for a severe chest muscle spasm that was triggered by none other than a laughing attack.
Apparently he thought the youth team participating in a pre-game promotion was pretty […]

Cubs Get Dealt ANOTHER Bad Hand

If I was the Cubs, I think I’d probably want to cry.  I’d want to cry a single tear for every year that has gone by since the last time they won a World Series; I’d want to cry a tear for every day D. Lee is gonna be on the D.L.  Now, I’d want […]

Encarnacion Barely Misses Hitting For Cycle

Ugh, that’s gotta be frustrating…you get the home run, the triple and the double out of the way and then don’t get the single.  The cycle just a tiny little base hit away.  Oh well, Juan Encarnacion’s gotta feel good about driving in 4 runs to help push the Card’s to a 6-3 victory over […]

Bonds Bombs Again

Number 2 is in the books officially for big Barry.  He’s been walked a lot, struck out a lot, and flew out a lot, but he finally knocked in number 2 of the year this fine evening.  He’s now one step closer, 4 home runs off, of tying Babe Ruth’s second place record.
Am I the […]

Bonds Admits Aaron’s Record Is Probably Safe

Hmmm…I don’t know quite what to make of this choice little gem.  Part of me wonders if he’s being honest, frank, and humble, the other part of me wonders if he’s being that guy in the race that trips and falls on purpose when he knows he’s not going to win, just to avoid having […]

The San Diego Padres have to be feeling better today.  Center fielder Mike Cameron has been officially taken off the 15 Day Disabled List and activated for play again.  Phew.
Cameron has missed the first 17 games of San Diego’s season with a strained left oblique and the Padres record has been strained too.  The Pad’s […]

Franco’s Historic Homerun

Get that man an Ensure!  Julio Franco sure earned it with his historic home run last night.  When he belted that 8th inning, 2 run shot, he became the oldest man in the history of baseball to hit a home run at a whopping 47 years old.  He’s not just barely 47, the man turns […]
