R.I.P. Tiger Stadium

The Man tore down what remained of Tiger Stadium the other day, much to the chagrin of local yokels and Ty Cobb fans the world over. It was the kind of old-timey stadium that made you want to eat Cracker Jack from a box, bring your little-league glove (just in case of that pop fly) and pray that someone...

Vote For Manny!

Watching Sports Center yesterday, the anchors were up in arms due to the fact that Manny Ramirez was fourth in MLB’s All-Star voting for NL outfielders. They blathered on about how much of a PR disaster it would be if he made it as a starter, even though he’s suspended for 50 games for PEDs...

I Think The Dodgers Are On To Something…

Last Wednesday, the Kim & the Kardashians (yes, Beefy/no, Bruce) are invited to throw out the first pitch against the Nationals. Then on Saturday, the young Simmons ladies make an appearance? Color my odd but there’s something strangely alluring about a woman in a baseball jersey. Not something...

Remember when Bunny Colvin opened up a “no arrest” zonefor drug dealers in The Wire? In case you aren’t familiar with the storyline, Colvin allotted a section of town for drug dealers to roam freely in front of the police without threat of being arrested.

“Just A Friendly Game Of Baseball…”

Up until Kanye & Luda leaked, I had been exclusively listening to mixtapes. This isn’t something I do on the reg, as I usually give them a once over & keep it moving. But in my extended listening, it became clear where the mixtape stands in relation to retail albums. Just like in baseball,...
