Now that Casey Blake has officially become the first opposing player to openly mock Brian Wilson’s X-gesture, it’s time to answer some burning questions:

New York City has long been known for its excesses. To list a few: Carrie Bradshaw’s $600 shoes, gourmet restaurants that require reservations half a year in advance, and A-Rod’s (A-Roid’s?) salary. As of last April, his salary is $28 million, more than the entire Florida Marlins’...

Last year at the beginning of Spring Training, when this website was in its infancy (as opposed to the mature, adult blog you see today…OK, OK, I understand laughing at that last statement, but spitting out your beverage for dramatic effect was total overkill), I wrote the 2008 San Francisco Giants:...

I apologize for taking so long between fantasy baseball segments. I could blame an avalanche of negative Warriors news, the Manny Ramirez non-story or the Kurt Warner debacle, but those would all be lies.

I know I haven’t been posting enough links lately, so it’s high time we again gave some shine to some of the other websites that make this little thing called the Internet a lot better. But first, I have a few assorted thoughts about the Lakers/Cavs game from yesterday, where Los Angeles...

Joy to the world, the Yankees still suck...
If Barry Zito were a baseball team, he’d be the New York Yankees. Unbelievably expensive, and comically underwhelming on the field. The 2009 Yankees might actually be worse than last season, which most people wouldn’t assume after they went on a shopping spree over the past two weeks...

Baseball players think they have us fooled. They want us to think slumps and streaks are mysterious creatures. The hitting fairy comes at strange times, and can be lured to your favorite player’s bat by anything from a chicken-centric diet to a new style of facial hair. But like an intelligent...
