This video is pretty interesting. Soon to be MVP Joe Mauer wants to win so bad that he is stealing signs from the opposing catcher to help Jason Kubel pick out a heater to hit. Verlander is clearly pissed off. Cheating? No. Verlander and Laird should be switching up signs to mix it up. Maybe [...]
Jeter got three hits to match Gehrig with 2,721 in a Yankees uniform, a mark the Hall of Famer had held by himself for more than 70 years. Jeter had a chance to break the record, but he walked against reliever Grant Balfour after New York’s comeback in the eighth. “He’s one of the classiest [...]
Just an observation watching a LLWS game. The Iowa pitcher just gave up a BOMB to some kid on Georgia and the coach came out to pull him. The 3rd baseman has come in for relief and the pitcher took his place at 3rd. While the pitcher warms up, the kid is directly behind him [...]
Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre might miss the rest of the season after taking a hard one-hopper to his groin off the bat of a White Sox player Thursday night. Manager Don Wakamatsu said the Gold Glove third baseman is out indefinitely, and might need surgery because of bleeding in a testicle. Beltre does not [...]

Tuesday night – Dodgers vs Brewers. Manny gets hit. Dodgers retaliate while up 13 runs and hit Prince Fielder. Game finishes. Brew Crew gets creamed. Prince goes psycho.
Unfortunately it is the truth. Everything the dude has said has been spot on. When asked what he thought out Ortiz and Manny, he said “When you tell me something I didn’t already know, I’ll be surprised.” “And I’ll tell you this, Major League Baseball is going to have a big, big problem on their [...]
Boom goes the Mitchell report!
Special report from someone who is not funny and does not know much about baseball and the home run derby in particular.
On the eve of starting for the NL in the MLB All Star Game in St. Louise, it has been discovered that starting pitcher Tim Lincecum, affectionately known as “The Freak”, is actually 14 years of age. “It was only a matter of time,” noted The Freak. “I look young, but I am an old [...]
The corporate owner of the Chicago Cubs is considering having the baseball team file for bankruptcy protection as a legal step to hasten its long-awaited sale, according to two people with knowledge of the process.

Manny Ramirez was great, but Jason Bay provides the same firepower without the unwanted noise. Literally. JockJoose Sports Network got to sit down with Bay prior to the All Star game. A little tidbit that you may not have known about Jason is that he has a part time job as a mime in Canada. [...]
