  • Manny being Judy

    Margaret Hamilton in the Wizard of Oz?! Err...so that would make Manny....Judy Garland....right? Well...there is the hair...no, stop!...I need a valium...the most appalling mental image post All Star break. So let me get this straight... Manny attempts assault on Youkilis: the real scandal - ain't it the truth - is that Youk was asking for ...

  • I thought it was me

    I never knew other people saw this card as the achetypical baseball card. This was the card to haggle over when I was in 7th grade. It was going to be worth a million dollars and one had to devise very clever trade packages to acquire it. I have two in mint condition safely stored in the bottom of my closet. I actually remember trading a Kirby ...

  • Baseball fans and sex frequency

    There's another, complementary explanation of these stats. Parents, especially fathers, of great baseball players are usually big baseball fans themselves, which is why they encourage their own kids in the sport. During the playing season, they're busy watching games, and NOT having much sex, so nine months later, they're NOT having babies. ...

  • Rickey Henderson could play in the majors today

    Why you have to hate on Rickey? He is still at least as good or better than the worst player on any team in the majors. They should let him play one more game. Let him have his final goodbye. There is a petition going around to get him back into baseball. www.LetRickeyPlay.com

  • Sports Nut's Annual MLB Predictions thread

    Yes, it's back, by popular (read: my own) demand, Sports Nut's annual MLB Predictions thread. Simply list the winners of all 6 divisions, the 2 wildcard teams, and how the playoffs will play, um, off, plus any other happenings that might, um, happen. Then we will ridicule you. Start ridiculing me...now! NL East....Phillies. Oh, how I hate to ...

  • New Reality of Baseball

    One important point about the Yankees and Red Sox strategy was missed. They are still buying success, by raising the cost of signing draft picks to a level where only they - and the Tigers - can afford the best players. It's easier to stand pat with your prospects when you've stacjed the deck. As to the Sox fans reactions to A-Rod in October: ...

  • McNamee is a loser

    Before I hear one more person say that McNamee doesn't have any incentive for finger Roger Clemens, let me offer one: You have never heard of McNamee. He spent his whole life around very rich and very famous people, of which he was neither. In accusing Roger Clemens, the greatest baseball player of our generation, of taking steroids, he has now ...

  • MLB and Steroids

    Bowman's article states that the DoJ is pursuing prosecution of the wrong people by going after the suppliers rather than the players. Yet he also compares steroid use to that of other illegal drugs such as cocaine. Does the system not seek to impose harsher penalties on dealers than users? Do the police not try to turn users into informants to ...

  • The Premises Are Wrong

    As with so many who raise their voices on this topic, Mr. Bowman is seriously in error on several matters of demonstrable fact. First, ''chemically enhanced cheaters'' have had zero impact on baseball results. Numerous well-qualified baseball analysts, each using a different methdology, have come to that conclusion. No one has ''cheated their ...
