Okay. So. Open communication, Daisuke. That’s what we’re all about from now on. Agreed. No more surprises. Like leg injuries or whatnot. We’re upfront. Trust will be our foundation. You dig? Understood. Alright, then. Let’s shake on it. Fine. ::Extends hand; arm falls off and hits the ground:: What the–??? Your goddam arm just fell [...]
Arbitration avoided. Papelbon signed a one-year deal with the Sox. Chad Finn has the scoop…
Far be it from us to send you over to another website, but all is fair in love and Remy. The Dawg will be hanging with our pal Rafe Anderson at TruFan today at 2:00PM. What better cure for the winter doldrums than a dose of Remy?

We don’t get into politics much here at SG. Mainly because I’ve lost faith and interest in every elected leader since Martin Van Buren, and, for the last several elections, have written in Roddy McDowell as my candidate of choice. But here’s something I thought was pretty funny. The guy in the photo above is [...]
Listen, we spend a lot of time here screwing around and talking about baseball. It’s fun, and at times, it even seems important. But it’s a game, a distraction from the hard stuff that happens in our real lives. Then something happens, something so real that even we, the greatest fans in the world, can’t [...]

SGers never fail to come up big when it comes to giving something back. So we were hardly surprised when reader/commenter extraordinaire Stacy told us she’d set up a Surviving Grady Haiti Relief Fund through UNICEF, as 100% of their donations go to relief efforts. If you want to donate — and this is a [...]
