Had enough (already) of being bombarded with the
presidential race? Need some comedy? Like collectibles? Upper Deck
released the following today. I'm torn... It's either the Gore/Knoblauch or the "Wild Card" of Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly reenacting the infamous Robin Ventura/Nolan Ryan brawl, or Fred Thompson as Babe Ruth, or... Forget it, they're all great. (High-res versions supplied)
The classic Windy City debate, which franchise is
better? Not just this year, but of all time?
Whatifsports tries to settle the debate by simulating a 7-game series of all-time greats 1,000 times. Ernie Banks, Sosa, Sandberg, Maddux, Mordecai Brown, Sutter against Shoeless Joe, Big Hurt, Robin Ventura, Eddie Collins, Fisk...
The Chicago White Sox announced today that a
life-sized sculpture of franchise legend Harold Baines will be

Just when I think television is doing us
all a disservice by not having more MLB cameos
comes a reminder that most baseballers have the stage presence of an air conditioner. For evidence, witness this appearance by Nolan Ryan on a 1975 episode of ...
As a fan of combat sports, from MMA
to the WWE, Josh Deitch tips his hat to
the quality brawls of 2008. Is it wrong that as I watched the highlight from Sunday’s scuffle between the Royals and White Sox unfold, the immortal voice of WWE announcer Jim Ross ran through my head? (Pyrotechnics shake the stadium. Heavy metal music blares as the camera pans through thousands of ...
On April 6, 2004, in his first major
league appearance with the San Diego Padres, Akinori Otsuka
gave up an RBI single off the bat of Robin Ventura in the bottom of the ninth to pick up the loss in a 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers. Over the ...
For those of you who still don’t think

Inspired by Jonathan Roy, this blog post looks
at what to do when forced to fight. The
nine options range from the good ("beat down opponent, then leave like it was no big deal", aka the Mr Miyagi) to not-so-good ("defecate on ice, fling poo" aka the Sean Avery). Helpful Youtube clips of pro athletes demonstrating each method are included.
Hey, remember when Robin Ventura put on the
Mike Piazza jersey and a fake moustache and slid
across the tarp during a Mets rain delay a few years back? No? Well I have no video evidence to share with you, so please to enjoy several Rangers doing the ...
I can't believe it took ESPN about 3
hours to get this video, but here it is
from ESPN News. A pretty cheap slide by Shelly Duncan starts the arguing and a horrible tackle attempt by Johnny Gomes clears the benches..... Pretty lame, but aren't ...
Yes, the Yankees first baseman/designated hitter is wearing
a thong in each of these photos.
Of course, the MLB video-nazis knew this and

This is the best we could do. It’s nice when we write about the exact same relatively obscure event twice in one week, isn ’ t it? You know you love it. 1993 - White Sox 3B Robin Ventura charges Nolan Ryan after a pitch hits him in the 3rd inning. Ryan ...
Another entry in the ongoing series of the
Top 79 Cub Killers of my time. Today's Cub
Killer: Robin Ventura.
Roids, HGH, non-apology apologies aside, this is what
makes Jason Giambi a fun guy. In a recent
interview with Portfolio , Jason Giambi said that he wears a Golden Thong whenever he needs to break out of a slump: The deepest, darkest secret ...
Despite what all of us believe, there are
actually people who know significantly more about sports than
the crew at TTCS . That was evident this week when we took the bashing of a lifetime by the Unprofessional Foul , which I'll still call the most ...
Take a look at it. That picture right
there is one of the most famous baseball photographs
