Earlier, when we told you that scouts working for the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds were being investigated by the FBI and MLB for asking signed Dominican players to kickback some of their salary, we had a sneaking suspicion...

Red Sox Nation has released some of the greatest players in the history of the game because of dissatisfaction and/or feuds with the organizations front office. And after listening to LA’s 710am this morning, we were convinced that they’d...

So remember earlier in the day when we told you that Manny Ramirez was about to be dealt to Florida… yeah, he’s not. But he still has to pack his bags because he’s moving from Boston to Los Angeles....

Well let’s jump right into, shall we? Manny Ramirez minced no words on Sunday when he told reporters that he really didn’t care if Boston would re-sign him the following season. Of course, this means, above all, that Manny...

You’d have a better chance of being struck by lightning five times in your lifetime than ever see a baseball perched on a fence for a few seconds. And thanks to ESPN, every single angle is covered. [With Leather]...

Manny Ramirez, despite his recent foibles, has a place in everyone’s heart. That’s why were shocked when we read an interview on ESPN Deportes where he doesn’t shoot down the idea of going to the worst team any Red...

After doing battle over the weekend with someone old enough to order from the senior’s menu at IHOP, Manny Ramirez has a new image problem. Before knocking down 64-year-old Jack McCormick because of ticket problems, Ramirez’s eccentricities were laughable...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night MLB 2008: So, this Tampa Bay Rays team isn’t that much of a fluke. After being sidelined since he threw a one-hitter, Matt Garza pitched a gem against the Boston Red Sox and...

Manny Ramirez has looted Shawn Chacon’s playbook of crazy. In the most recent episode of “Manny being Manny,” Ramirez wasn’t being the silly cuddly bear that we’re all accustomed to. Instead, Manny allows evil spirits known as “a Latino...

Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz became a United States citizen today and it’s now his civic duty to vote in the 2008 election. Yet, we learned from his wife that he’s hardly lent a minute to thinking about...

U.S. citizenship is fantastic, isn’t it? As citizens, we’re allowed rights such as freedom of speech, going bankrupt without serious repercussions and Las Vegas. And now, Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz—a Dominican-born player—will officially be scorned across the...

The Boston Red Sox got their fight club on when Coco Crisp leapt from the batter’s box in the second inning, charged the mound and displayed his best Pernell Whitaker impression. The benches cleared and all seemed calm after...

Kudos to a guy who can outpace well-trained security guards, dodge them and leave them eating grass behind his pedaling wheels and cut clear across the outfield while jumping over and into the stands like a steeplechase racer. Oh,...

Boston Red Sox are really passionate about their time. They’re also blatantly annoying and can be explicitly held accountable for international relations travesties. Just don’t do this in Spain or Argentina, k? [Deadspin] Paul Gasciogne may be a psychotic...

Red Sox slugger and future Hall of Famer Manny Ramirez hit his 500th home run in Baltimore this past weekend. Luckily for Ramirez, Sox fan Damon Woo was sitting with his brother Jason where the ball landed so everything...

We can’t believe we forgot about this stinkin’ post after talking about it for an hour yesterday. We were so enraged by it, not for it’s sanctimonious theme, but because we weren’t baptized at fucking Dodgers Stadium, a.k.a. Chavez...

The New York Yankees are hosting this year’s MLB All-Star Game and they don’t seem to mind that David Ortiz will be participating the game. They also don’t mind that people are tossing around comparisons between the Sultan of...

There’s a hubbub of adulation cascading over that mythical creature known as John Lester. He threw a no-hitter last night against the Kansas City Royals to become the first lefty in 52 years to toss a no-no for Boston....

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night MLB 2008: Is that headline a bit blasphemous? Good. We really think Jon Lester’s first left-handed no-hitter in 52 years for Boston is a fantastic feat, but we’re also annoyed because Boston will...

Alex Rodriguez has gone ahead and recorded a message to be played after Manny Ramirez hits his 500th career home run (he’s at 498, not that he’s cognizant of it). But this message doesn’t contain the words “douche,” “asshat”...

See the lovely young-ish lady to the left? Her name is Angela Moyer, and the New York Daily News, tired from trying to kill off Sean Avery, is reporting that Roger Clemens slept with her and many other women...

For once, the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry stimulated some really good news. David Ortiz’s notorious “curse” jersey we reported on last week has motivated an anonymous do-gooder to bid $175,000, resulting in a hefty donation for cancer charity, The Jimmy...

Good thing no one was severely injured or else we’d have three or four posts to write about this. Wait a minute. Rats. [Fan IQ] Brazil’s Romario wants everyone to know he joined the Mile High club a few...

eBay—it’s not just for unloading your Go-Bots collection anymore! It’s now the go-to place for on-the-fly charity auctioneering, as best exemplified by the Jimmy Fund’s high-end sale of the David Ortiz jersey the Yankees spent $50,000 to dig up...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night MLB 2008: The empirical evidence for what we’re about to say doesn’t exist, but we’ve connected with viable sources who’ve stated that Manny Ramirez’s dreadlocks are his source of power. And cheeseburgers. Cheeseburgers...

In the greatest Yankee save since Derek Jeter’s backhand toss threw out Jeremy Giambi in 2001, the team yesterday unearthed a Red Sox jersey from the site of the still-being-built new Yankee Stadium. In a scene reminiscent of Geraldo...

It’s the opening week of Major League Baseball and the words “omen” and New York Yankees/Boston Red Sox rivalry have already crossed the threshold of annoyance for all of that could care less about those teams. It all came...

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox broke a major league record by playing a game host to more than 115,000 fans. That’s roughly 3 billion Dodger dogs served in one game. It would have been nice to...

We’ve never considered John Mayer to be anything more than a cool guitarist. [Ed. Note: Bug off, philistines.] Yet, after partaking in a 9-month shagfest with Jessica Simpson last year, and now calling a rather humorous play-by-play, the guy’s...

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox are set for an exhibition showdown (how can they fit in exhibition games when the season started in Japan?) in the famed Los Angeles Coliseum this weekend and there are...

Meet 89-year old Furman Bisher. Furman’s a baseball writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and he has a problem with Major League Baseball’s insistence on opening their season over in Japan. But it has nothing to do with starting the...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night MLB: They promised a thriller and that it was. The Boston Red Sox had to rally and win the game in the tenth inning, 6-5. Welcome back, baseball. [Leader Post] NBA: Josh Howard...

Apparently David Ortiz never saw “Garden State” and a lovely Natalie Portman sternly exclaiming that anyone who rides in a sidecar of a motorbike (old school) is officially a bitch. Hey, Big Papi! Those are her words, not ours,...

When news first erupted that the Los Angeles Dodgers were to face off with the Boston Red Sox in preseason action at the Coliseum, people were ecstatic. So much so that 90,000 tickets to the game sold out immediately....

Aww, look. Jonathan Papelbon is trying to speak Spanish. Wow, he looks angry. Big angry man speak Spanish tough. Me want food. [YouTube] Apparently grunting during a tennis match isn’t hip anymore. Fads die out so quickly. [Lion In...

We have every right to unrelentingly talk about baseball now that football is officially over. We have nothing against football, but we played baseball for 15 years and, well, there’s nothing like it. Who else loves them some baseball?...

It’s funny how time changes things. We remember the 2000 Super Bowl when the upstart Patriots beat the supposedly unstoppable St. Louis Rams. Oh man, what a feel-good story that was. Now, eight years later, and the same quarterback...

Man, and we thought we were cool for walking on the wall for like three steps in the seventh grade. [YouTube] Becks and the Galaxy are going to be playing some little ass (read: under-20) Chinese soccer players when...

There’s no bigger rivalry in American sports than Yankees-Red Sox (or as we like to call it around here, Dodgers-Giants with a tenth of the titles). So we wonder how Yankee fans will take the news that without a...

What is it with the Boston Red Sox and their last-out World Series balls? The first time they won it all in 2004, first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz took the ball home and wouldn’t give it back after he was...

Ever since former Maine Democratic Senator George Mitchell’s report on the state of steroid abuse in Major League Baseball came out, the sports world has been enthralled. And although we’ve found the report is really nothing more than one...
