Gorzo a Starter Without a Spot

Written by smitty | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Rum Bunter (Pirates)

Well, Tom Gorzelanny is still with the Pirates.  It’s been a while hasn’t it?  NH said when he called Gorzo up that ‘Tom was our only option.’  We have to wonder if he isn’t being used to motivate the starting staff.  Especially Ian Snell and Jeff Karstens.
NH alluded to the fact that Ian Snell isn’t going to [...]

A Bunch of Quick Thoughts

Written by nickpease | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Naptown's Finest (Colts)

It’s almost June, literally, as in just a few hours it will be June 1st. 
This really has so importance what-so-ever, only that we are another month closer to football starting again – and I say Hallelujah to that brother!  I love baseball, I mean I love it, but nothing compares to the excitement of the NFL and following your [...]

Hillman Blunders with Bale and Bloomquist

Written by Wally Fish | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Kings of Kauffman (Royals)

I think I have been pretty reasonable in my assessment of Trey Hillman thus far, but this weekend he pushed me over the edge.  I am officially done trying to find the positives in his decisions.
Many people have questioned Trey’s usage of the bullpen, but what he did against the White Sox was downright idiotic.  [...]

Cowboys’ McGee “Stunningly Refined” in Minicamp

Written by thembIIIeffect | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Landry Hat (Cowboys)

By: thembIIIeffect
A rookie’s first minicamp surely isn’t any kind of way to judge a player.
But that won’t stop Dallas’ coaches from getting a little excited about Dallas Cowboys’ fourth round pick Stephen McGee.
The former Texas A&M quarterback was labeled as a “project” and was thought to be a backup to backup quarterback Jon Kitna, but [...]

Jay Cutler Making Life Difficult for Himself With Bears Fans

Written by Dan Zinski | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)

New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler needs to take a few courses in public relations:
I know Cutler already has alienated enough small pockets of fans at various appearances in Chicago to produce a flurry of furious e-mails, such as the one from a guy at Wrigley Field last week who criticized the quarterback for waving [...]

?Numbnuts? and ?P*ssy? Are Okay to Say on Basic Cable, According to Charles Barkley

Written by Pacman Jonesin' | Running from the Name...and its Ghosts | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'

Why would Charles Barkley say “numbnuts” and “pussy” on the air at the end of Saturday night’s TNT broadcast?  Was he drunk?  Is he trying to get himself fired?  Is he part of some insanely complicated economic stimulus plan that involves incurring FCC fines, then somehow dispersing that to troubled …

Donnie Veal pitched Friday night against the Astros for the first time in three weeks.  It will be a few weeks at least until we see  the big left hander in the black and gold as the Pirates have placed him on the disabled list.
Neil Huntington mentioned possible call-ups but wouldn’t give a name, he noted Bootcheck, [...]

Outside the Lines Savages Brandon Marshall; Marshall Defends Himself Feebly

Written by Pacman Jonesin' | Running from the Name...and its Ghosts | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'

Pretty disturbing expose of Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall’s abusive history from ESPN’s Outside the Lines, revolving around his tumultuous relationship with childhood sweetheart Rasheedah Watley.  Marshall was given the opportunity to respond, and denied all the terrifying allegations.

Marshall’s denials look pretty feeble against the body of evidence accumulated by ESPN, …

My Wieters Experience

Written by Michael | May 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Birds Watcher (Orioles)

I’ve been at the O’s games recently, which is the reason I haven’t been posting much. As most of you know, you have to go to the bars after the game. Anyway, it was a great experience to see Wieters first game. It started raining about an hour before game time, but thankfully it was [...]
