While making his pre-game laps around Great American
Ballpark with his trusty sidekick “Gapper” at the wheel,
Mr. Redlegs took a spill off the back of a golfcart and literally lost his head.

Brett Myers gives an obscenity laced tirade to
Philadelphia Inquirer reporter. WITH TRANSCRIPT & AUDIO.
Cole graciously agreed to sit down with Bugs
& Cranks this week and answer some of my
juvenile questions. We cover a wide variety of topics including the Phillies, his beautiful wife Heidi, rap music & Lindsay Lohan.
The Phillies have once again acquired troubled prospect
Cash Considerations. Hopefully this year he can finally get
his act together.
With big hair making a comeback throughout “The
Show” it is time to pay homage to one
of histories great ‘do’s — equally fascinating and underrated — the afro. Grab those butterfly collars and plaid slacks ’cause it’s time to take a stroll down memory lane with baseball’s best ‘fros.
Ever have the design and concept of your
site completely ripped off? Well, it just happened to

Two of the greatest home run under-producers of
all time were teammates: Kirby Puckett and Gary Gaetti
in 1984. Puckett hit no home runs (-16), Gaetti hit only 5 (-19). Suggesting the possibility that the Twins’ two titles may have been aided by their team being among the first to discover…well, I’d better not go there. Nor will I point out that Gaetti was bald and had acne and Puckett died young.
The Phillies executed an elaborate clubhouse prank and
tricked Kyle Kendrick into thinking he was traded to
a Japanese team...
In a series of e-mail exchanges arranged by
one of my childhood friends (who lived in the
same freshmen dorm as Steve at Notre Dame), Bugs & Cranks presents the first at-length interview with infamous Cubs fan Steve Bartman.
A blogger's trip inside a pixelated baseball world.
Of course his self-reflective character would be a likeable
winner...right?

In light of the recent multiple arrests occurring
in professional sports, I figured now was the perfect
time to take advantage and put together an All-Star Team of current and former MLB felons. I managed to fill a 20-man roster along with a Manager, 1st & 3rd Base Coaches and General Manager. Enjoy the abundance of criminal activity!
[Video] Orlando Magic all-star Dwight Howard took batting
practice with the Phillies last April at Citizens Bank
Park. Ryan Howard (no relation), Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino & Michael Bourn were all there to witness it.
You’re telling me the same guy who inexplicably
lost the ability to accurately throw a baseball 60
feet, 6 inches, now has the ability to make these throws? To have two throws of that distance, with that accuracy, to nail two ...
Not only have the actual Mets enjoyed a
beating at Citizens Bank Park the past three days,
now their fans are joining in the fun. In the ninth inning of last nights game (before Marlon Anderson secured the Philthie victory) some fans decided to take their anger out on Metro fans, who obviously don’t know how to act properly in someone else’s house.
I call it the Michael Jackson list–they wear
a glove on one hand and nobody knows why.
Bugs & Cranks takes a look at the worst fielders in baseball history.

We have here Gar, a 35 year-old father
of 2 Los Angeles fella. His Stupid Human Trick
is imitating batting stances. Except it’s not stupid at all, it’s AWESOME. He can do anybody. I particularly enjoy the first 3: Pujols, Edmonds and McGwire. This video is his Cardinals video, but there are others. He does the Red Sox, the Yankees and 80's...
The Cubs will make some noise this postseason,
and the noise will say lots of the same
things over and over again. Here's a survival guide in the form we know best -- a drinking game.
Paranoid that a wily Red Sox fan had
managed to curse his team, New York Yankees’ owner
Hank Steinbrenner paid constructions workers to unearth a surreptitiously buried Red Sox T-shirt from beneath the visitors’ dugout at the new Yankee Stadium and had it replaced with the body of Yankee reliever Kyle Farnsworth, who’s been dead to Yankee fans for several years.
