With apologies to the great David St. Hubbins, it’s such a fine line between stupid and clever:
The league has a web site, if you’re so inclined to learn more…

Forget steroids. This is huge:
Sorry about the mullet I wore in Oakland.
Sorry I ditched the mullet when I signed with the Yankees.
No, really, it was a sweet mullet.
Sorry I never showed my brother how to slide.
What was Jeter doing there, anyway?
Still, if Jeremy slides…
Sorry for being sorry.
Seriously, once you get started, it’s hard to stop.
Apologizing, […]
Rain Delay’s comment about Rafael Ramirez got me thinking (uh-oh!). Even though his numbers never were great, Ramirez had a knack for swinging at and hitting the worst pitches imaginable, at the most inopportune times. As a fan of the opposing team, I hated to see him come up in close situations because he was […]
You may have missed it in the all the hoopla surrounding, oh, pretty much anything else going on in the world, but right-hander Colby Lewis got the start Tuesday evening for Oakland. Lewis hadn’t made a big-league start since 2004, when he still wore a Texas Rangers uniform.
The previous year, Lewis’ only full season in […]
Joe Posnanski at Soul of Baseball discusses which current National League players he expects one day to see in the Hall of Fame. The entire piece is worth reading, but one incidental riff on the pettiness of some in his profession (Joe is a professional sportswriter) stood out to me:
Now I was really confused. Baseball […]
Have you noticed the National League shortstops this season? These are not the players I remember watching as a kid — Bill Russell, Davy Concepcion, Rafael Ramirez, Rafael Santana, Larry Bowa, Tim Foli, et al. Sure, Adam Everett is around, but most of the other guys manning the position now wield a potent bat.
Cal Ripken […]
You’ve heard the legend of Jack Cust by now. The veteran DH came to the A’s from San Diego in a trade a few weeks ago and has gotten off to a great start with his new club. But is he better than Superman? You be the judge:
Jack Cust vs Superman
Cust
Superman
Advantage
Birthplace
Flemington, N.J.
Krypton
With all due respect […]
While many baseball fans were keeping close tabs on the weekend’s intense interleague rivalries — who could resist the fabled Colorado/Kansas City, Philadelphia/Toronto, and San Diego/Seattle matchups — a three-game series in the Class-A California League saw 83 runs score. Yes, I said 83.
The Lake Elsinore Storm traveled to Lancaster, home of the JetHawks and […]
One of the chapters in my book, the Ducksnorts 2007 Baseball Annual, examines strategies teams like the A’s and Twins have employed to remain successful over the past several years. The A’s are fairly well chronicled in Michael Lewis’ Moneyball, but what about the Twins?
One thing I discovered about the Twins is that their pitching […]
Did you miss me yesterday? I’m not looking for an honest response; the correct answer is yes.
I crack myself up. That makes one of us, eh?
So it seems that reliever Kyle Farnsworth isn’t real thrilled about the arrangement Roger Clemens has made with the New York Yankees. You know, the one where Clemens gets to […]
