Baseball seasons are long. So damned long. So many games. It’s beautiful. It’s awful. It’s glorious. It’s painful. It’s amazing. The 162-game season needs to die; long live the 162-game season. And there are some stories you’ll never forget. Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, for example, will be a game that will inspire [...]

DALLAS (AP)—Three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols agreed Thursday to a $254 million, 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Pujols’ contract is only the third in baseball to break the $200 [...]

Alex Rodriguez has been alleged to have engaged in high stakes poker games with other celebrities in the recent past. These supposed illegal contests have hurt his image during a time when he hasn’t been producing on the field due to injury. I am an aficionado of poker and have some suggestions for the highest paid baseball player:

He shouldn’t deposit money into any offshore poker accounts…

Richard Rubenstein, the publicist for the amazing life story that is Alex Rodriguez, claims the New York Yankees’ third baseman is looking forward to cooperating with MLB in its investigation of his “alleged” involvement in illegal gambling, specifically underground poker games.

We’ve been oh so tired, recovering from all the interviews we did at the Twins and Pins Charity Bowling Classic last week, so forgive us for ignoring you, our dear readers. In the past week, we’ve let the trade deadline come and go, injuries have happened, and the sports news world was all abuzz because Alex Rodriguez was sitting at 599 homeruns for what seemed like an eternity…

It ‘s a mute an unimportant point whether the 15 minutes of fame that Dallas Braden began accruing after his pugnacious rant at Alex Rodriguez is extended much longer. And simply pitching a perfect game, as stellar an achievement as that is, is no guarantee of continuing fame or sustained success, especially if it’s a singular occurrence in an otherwise mediocre career, a plateau that Braden is still looking up at.

Every week, athletes go out and give it their all just to help their teams get the win. At this time, some are in the midst of a playoff run and some are reaching the 50 mark in a 162 game season. While trying to honor these athletes, I’ve decided to start an athlete of [...]

It’s possible that if you’re male sports fan you may be faced with the same problem that I’ve been dealing with lately. Explaining to your wife/girl-friend/significant other how it is possible that male athletes seem incapable of keeping their focus when it comes to committed relationships? I’m not sure how I became the spokesperson for [...]

After the first installment of my tournament where we introduced all 32 athletes included, now it’s time to shorten the field. Without further ado, let the matchups begin. Conference One 1. Michael Phelps 8. Dwyane Wade There is no doubting D-Wade has had a good decade, but he can’t hold a candle to what Phelps [...]

Man, Chase Utley is good at hitting baseballs over the fence. Stealing the glory right out from under Cliff Lee, the Philadelphia Phillies second baseman nailed not one, but two home runs in his team’s 8-6 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series. Chutley hit the go-ahead, three-run shot in the bottom of the [...]
