MLB players do more than just polish up their ping-pong skills in the off-season. Red Sox relief pitcher Hideki Okajima is developing a new “secret” pitch. There’s a good chance you’ll never guess the name—or forget it.
Get ready for the 2008 unveiling of . . . the Doki-doki! The Japanese pitcher, like teammate and countryman […]
We don’t know what it is without newfound fascination with gut-wrenching images lately, but here’s another one likely to trigger a craving for Pepto Bismol.
Eduardo da Silva, a Brazilian-born player on the Croatia team, suffered this horrific—and more than just season-ending—injury. “Poor guy” is an understatement. Yikes.
This slideshow (49s) contains disturbing images. You’ve been warned.

Take note, readers. You’re about to witness a Red Sox fan praising Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees.
The Yanks’ shortstop-loving El Capitan gets a thumbs up from us because he supports blood testing in MLB players for banned substances. Better yet, he’s not afraid to take this stance even though the MLB union itself poo-poos the idea.
According […]
Potito Starace had kind of a rough out outing at the Buenos Aires Open. The tennis player, currently ranked No. 35 in the world, claim he was thisclose to bashing his racket into the teeth of a heckling fan.
The would-be recipient of such racquet-bashing? Argentinian soccer player Diego Maradona—one of Starace’s fave athletes. (Um, until […]
Who knew Barry Bonds was a stickler for copyediting boo-boos?
Bonds, as you probably know, is being bagged for allegedly lying to a federal grand jury about his use of “performance-enhancing drugs.” He’s pleaded not guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice charges, and now he’s turning the tables because of a couple typos: Last week, prosecuters idiotically mistakenly […]
Even though we are more or less “that Boston fan” and none-too-shy about our disdain for the New York Yankees, we’ve always had a soft spot for Joe Torre. In fact, next to Bill Belichick (we’re wearing “the hoodie” as we type), the erstwhile Yankees skipper is one of our all-time fave coaches.
CNBC’s “Conversations with […]
Don’t expect Gary Sheffield to speak at Scott Boras‘ Man of the Year dinner any time soon.
Wait, you can stop clutching your heart now. That “Man of the Year” part was hypothetical.
But what about the Detroit Tigers slugger’s feelings for his former agent? To say there’s “no love loss there” would be an understatement along […]
As much as we’d like to claim credit for inventing breaking fun stories like this,* the truth is (pun intended) that Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at eTrueSports.com have that honor.
Forget John McCain and the lobbyist. This is the real story out of Washington today.
An Epidemic of Sports Apologies Prompts Congressional Investigation
Washington - Briefly turning […]
When we think “witty” and “jokester,” approximately 528 people come to mind before Alex Rodriguez. But given the listen-to-all-those-crickets response to his attempt at humor today, he’s about to slip down a few notches.
WTF?
The New York Yankees third baseman told reporters he got tested for drugs “9-to-10 times” in 2007. Eyebrows across the sports blogosphere […]
With Fidel Castro stepping out of the already-fading picture in Cuba, fingers are crossed for political change, socioeconomic improvements, and American access to the world’s best cigars. But what about baseball?
According to USA Today, the MLB is bit-chomping like Pacman (the game, not the NFL troublemaker) for free access to signing Cuban talent. Guess how many MLB players […]
