On Wednesday, a Tyrannosaurus Rex invaded U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. Somewhere, Crazy Carl Everett is spinning in his grave. Oh wait, he’s not dead - but he might soon be after his head explodes. Why? Well, a few years back, the former Marlins-Mets-Astros-Red Sox-Rangers-White Sox-Expos-Mariners OF/DH said the following … “The Bible never says anything about [...]

In my just-filed Web column, I suggested the Mets send their top three prospects to Seattle for Ichiro. I would explain my reasoning, but then you'd have no reason to read my Web column. I'll post a link when it's...

This was the last 1-0 Yankees-Red Sox game at Fenway Park since Sept. 2, 2001. That was the game Mike Mussina had a perfect game until Carl Everett’s single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. The last 1-0 game between the teams was Sept. 11, 2005 in the Bronx. That was from Randy [...]

Anthony was in Philadelphia for the Mets' weekend series, and in his game story today he referred to Tony Armas Jr. as chunky. Crafted nicely, I must say. Speaking of chunky, the Long Island Ducks ran an ad in the...

Michael Burgess began playing tee-ball, at the urging of his grandfather, in his native Tampa when he was about five. He grew up watching games at nearby Hillsborough High, a school that has produced major leaguers such as Dwight Gooden, Gary Sheffield, Carl Everett and Elijah Dukes. And now the barrel-chested Burgess, 19, is trying to join Dukes as the Nationals' second Hillsborough alumnus.

Devoted weekend readers know I'm enthralled by bowling, while fans of Saint Andrew's Net have surmised I also enjoy lovely girls who have a penchant for shedding their clothes. And so, from Page Six comes this exciting news : PORN queen Gina Lynn caused chaos for Howard Stern TV executive producer Doug Goodstein after she leaked the secret location and shoot date for their on-demand "Bowling Beauties"...

by DMtShooter , Five Tool Tool You are looking at Robert "Death to Flying Things" Ferguson, a defensive stalwart of an outfielder for the 19th century Brooklyn Atlantics in the 1870s... and proof that we live in a wussified era of nicknames. Where's "The Wild Horse of the Osage", much less a "Ducky Wucky", "Losing Pitcher" or "Old Aches and Pains"? Dammit, Sports Blogosphere, if we can make the Mets...

Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel, and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything...

Hey, glad you asked. Turns out it’s pretty much in the $150-200 range, though they get a little pricier if you want some more combo fun. And since you’re wondering, we’ve been in meetings much of the day and are relying on the insane e-mail thread that started with Stanford and has now deviated into [...]

According to Adam Rubin, John Maine and Aaron Heilman debated the scientific possibilities of Transporting (scroll down to 9am). The former engineering student Maine thinks it'll never work, while Heilman appears to believe it will. We’ve come a long way from having Carl Everett telling reporters dinosaurs don't exist. Though I’m not sure exactly how much [...]

It's a little strange to me that everyone is so eager to say that the M's won't under any circumstances take on Bonds as DH. They've brought on Al Martin, after all, and Carl Everett, who was no PR fun either. They had Ben Christensen in the system, and he almost killed a guy on [...]

When Oil Can Boyd got the call, he was screaming in a rage at some ghost in his head, sending frightened neighbors running for their houses. It was Theo Epstein, telling him that he would be the Opening Day starter for the Red Sox. “It's about time,” an angry Boyd snapped. “I knew they'd realize that that Beckett clown or that fat old man Schilling got nothing over me.” When El Guapo got the call,...
