Jim Thome, the hay-baling Illinois farm boy with a knack for making opposing pitchers look incompetent, crossed the 600 home run mark last night by hitting two opposite field shots to reach the milestone. The feat that puts him in a rather legendary club to which only seven former sluggers can claim membership. Read the rest of this entry »
“Kevin Zelko likes to think of himself as a smarter beer vendor. On Friday, at the Seattle Mariners season opener, he’s going to try to prove it.
“The 36-year-old teacher who, for the past five seasons has served beer at Safeco Field, is ready to take orders from fans in the stands. Send a message to his Twitter address, @Msbeervendor, your seat and your order and he’ll be there as soon as he can. Read the rest of this entry »

So the mistake was made. Everybody knows it. Armando Galarraga remained poised yet distracted, even after Chevrolet mistook him for Prince and awarded him a little red Corvette for his imperfect game. The douche of the week, Jim Joyce, used his tears as beard softener as he openly admitted to his mistake and apologized with heartfelt man pleas. Fans and sportscasters alike applauded Galarraga while still holding out for the silver lining that Commissioner Bud Selig would exercise his presidential powers and right the wrong.

In case you’ve been too busy watching real sports to notice, MLB pitching has gotten much better thanks to the fact that hitters have stopped injecting steroids into their bums. There have been two perfect games in the last month, only the 19th and 20th instances in MLB history. Last night was going to be the 21st thanks to Detroit Tigers pitcher, Armando Galarraga. That was until umpire Jim Joyce remembered section 5 paragraph 12 of the Unwritten Sports Manual that states that nobody from Detroit shall ever know the feeling of joy again.

The ghost of Cy Young is among us, ladies and gentlemen. And he’s possessing the pitchers of Major League Baseball. Not even a month removed since Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game, we have a classic case of déjà vu as Roy Halladay becomes the 20th member of the perfect game club. Laying the smack down on the 27 different Florida Marlins he faced in the nine innings, not even the real Doc Holliday had that much accuracy during his days at the O.K. Corral.

It’s one of the rarest feats in professional sports. In fact, before yesterday, only eighteen others since 1880 have been able to be immaculate from the mound. But even if he never plays another game in his life, Dallas Braden of the Oakland A’s will be etched in the history books for his play yesterday afternoon. For he did achieve perfection with his perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Read the rest of this entry »

Behind Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Jr. likely ranks as my favorite athlete of the 1990′s. For good reason, too. The Braves were/still are my favorite team, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find myself pulling for the Mariners back when they had Randy Johnson (with the mullet), a very young Alex Rodriguez and KGJ24. They were baseball’s version of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin…minus the championships and drugs (well, A-Rod had yet to…nevermind). Read the rest of this entry »

…and probably paid decent money for those seats. You can tell he’s a serious fan because he’s got his cap turned backwards & the matching Phillies shirt. He doesn’t care that you think he’s a putz. He’s a Phillies fan and this team is a part of his life. It means so much to him, he even paid to bring his pride & joy, daddy’s little girl, to the game with him so that she would one day too grow to be a diehard Philly fan. And catching the foul ball? It made his life worth living. Like any loving father, he shares the moment with his child, allowing her to hold the ball.
Then she throws it back. Read the rest of this entry »

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 someone SOMEone would hit a homer into the lights; showering sparks and glass over the outfield.
Me? Yeah, I mean, I was a little disheartened to hear the news. But it was a foregone conclusion the building of Sparky Anderson and big-ass Cecil Fielder would fall. It had become Read the rest of this entry »
