October 2009

I remember the feeling I used to get before every Pedro Martinez start. It was like being a kid waiting for Christmas morning, your birthday, and hot photos of a semi-nude Pamela Anderson to inexplicably drop from an airplane into your backyard tree fort. It was good to feel that again last night. Even though [...]

So Cliff Lee manhandles the Yankees in Game One, coming into their house, slapping around their guys, drinking all their beer and having his way with their women. And now, with the Yankees facing a must-win scenario, unless they want to head to Philly down two games, all eyes turn to Pedro. Petey’s been persona [...]

Honestly, Mazz, I know you need to sell papers and whatnot, so you need to be “controversial” and say things like “Hey, let’s all root for the Yankees ’cause it’ll get the Sox’ front office to spend money.” But even though I know you’re speaking as a guy who’s gotta move papers and not as [...]

I’m fairly certain that A-Rod is no stranger to the art of sliding under some dude’s legs. But even I was amazed at the blatant elbow-chop he put on Erick Aybar’s nutsack while trying to break up a double play during last night’s ALCS game. For those who missed it, here’s a brief recreation in [...]

I hate to suggest it was the game in which NESN showed the Surviving Grady T-shirt. But, honestly, I think it was the game in which NESN showed the Surviving Grady T-shirt, sported by our good pal and SG regular Tex, no less. August 14 in Texas was probably the biggest game of the season. [...]
