- The Big Hurt is back in the Bay Area — and it's as if he never left - Less than a week after being released by Toronto, Frank Thomas is back in Oakland.

Hawk attacks 13-year-old at Fenway Park And you won't believe the name of the girl.

I don't get it.
I'll give you a hint- her former best friend's name is Daria Jeter.

Jose Canseco Has 'Stuff' on A-Rod Throughout this whole somewhat tainted steroids era, Alex Rodriguez's name has never really been slung through the mud. He obviously has a lot of home runs for his age, but he's never hit an exorbitant amount of them in one season. The general perception is A-Rod is just really, really good at what he does.

FPP link is from last year. The updated "dirt" is via Joe Lavin's blog, from the first comment:
As for Alex Rodriguez, Canseco says he didn't inject Rodriguez, but that he "introduced Alex to a known supplier of steroids." Canseco didn't mention Rodriguez in the first book because he "hated the bastard." He was worried that people would have "questioned [his] motives" had he included Rodriguez.
Why all the hatred, you ask. Well, Canseco claims that A-Rod was trying to sleep with Canseco's wife. Apparently, even after Canseco had been nice enough to help A-Rod find a friendly steroids supplier, A-Rod kept calling Canseco's wife.
And, in case there's any further confusion about Canseco's true feelings, he ends the chapter by saying:
So A-Rod, if you're reading this book, and if I'm not getting through to you, let's get clear on one thing: I hate your f***ing guts.
His argument is (a) I introduced Arod to someone who sold steroids, and (b) he had the hots for my wife. Classy.
As much as Canseco probably knows about the inside dealings on MLB steroids, he seems determined to undermine his own credibility at every opportunity.

Knicks Disappoint The Entire World New York Knicks owner James Dolan promised free tickets to all remaining Knicks games to UN ambassadors if the team won Tuesday night vs. Golden State at Madison Square Garden. How'd that work out? Not too good. After the Knicks got pounded by the Warriors, 108 - 82, even a seasoned diplomat like UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was moved to say of the Knicks, "they're playing poorly, very poorly, and I'm disappointed."

What does Isiah have on New York Knicks owner James Dolan anyway? Shouldn't his ass be out the door like 50 games ago?
My friend and I were just joking about this the other day. We concluded that he must have some pics implicating him in kiddie porn or something. There's just no other explanation.

ARod wins AL MVP award, but not unanimously.
ARod got 26 of the 28 first place votes. The other two first place votes went to Magglio Ordonez of the Detroit Tigers. The voters who chose Ordonez over ARod? Writers from the Detroit News and Oakland Press (Pontiac, Michigan).
*cough*

Put an average player at third in A-rod's place and the they're still playoff contenders.
That's just ridiculous. Arod pretty much single-handedly carried the team on his back (bat?) during a couple months when the rest of the team was doing nothing offensively.

This Just In: 'Alex Rodriguez is a Weasel' "Since forever, baseball has had one mandate for every team: No significant news announcements during the World Series," Scott Miller writes for CBS Sports. "Opting out in the middle of a World Series game is the height of arrogance. It is the Towering Inferno of arrogance. Arrogance doesn't reach higher peaks."

I'm just surprised that FOX managed to fit the A-Rod announcement in between its exhaustive coverage of a fast food promotion and reminding us about a car company's love affair with the game.
Here, here. Considering the shamelessly crass broadcasting job Fox did during the series, Arod's announcement was one of the less offensive moments.

Bombed: New York Yankees Make Another Early Exit from Playoffs Yankees who might no longer be in pinstripes after the team's elimination from the AL playoffs by the Cleveland Indians Monday night: Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Manager Joe Torre.

I put the blame much more on Jeter- team captain, worse performance from someone who is supposed to be "Mr. Postseason"- than Arod.
As a Yanks fan, I hope Torre stays, but Steinbrenner just isn't a rational person. I came to NYC having grown up a Phillies fan, which in the 80's was not easy. I became a Yanks fan when Torre took over, and it's been an amazing tenure.
I think Posada will be back, but as 1B. Who's going to sign him as a starting catcher at this point? He's got a year, maybe two, left behind the plate, but he's a good bat and a solid teammate. I hope Arod comes back- he's a dirty, dirty player, but he's amazing to watch perform every night.
The problem is not enough Paul O'Neill/Tino Martinez/David Cone type guys on the team.
Definitely true, but you can see this coming together around Cano, Cabrera, and (to a lesser extent) Abreu. I think Melky would move into the dugout if he could.

Wait, wait, wait. Did I just read an article that essentially claims Braun will win because he's Jewish?
Wow, the Global Zionist Conspiracy reaches farther than I imagined...

Texas 30 - Baltimore 3 ... wasn't an NFL preseason matchup but the rather the Rangers posting the highest major league run total in 110 years. I guess there is no mercy rule in the MLB.

-- Good news for me: I don't have any Orioles pitchers on my fantasy team, either.
If you're fielding Burres, Bell, or Shuey on your fantasy squad, your problems started well before last night ;)
Littleton's got the best stat line in the game, IMO. How many times do we see a 3-inning save, let alone a save in a game that ultimately had a margin of (opposing roster X 3)?

A Toss of the Dice, and History at Fenway. . . Red Sox go back-to-back-to-back-to-back, setting a club record and tying a MLB record with four consecutive homers off Chase Wright to help a shaky Daisuke Matsuzaka complete a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees.

Wait, that can't be right- Frank Thomas? Not even born yet...

As much as I detest Crybaby Thomas, this is a good move for Oakland, whose best offensive player this year has been... Bobby Crosby. They desperately need a power bat.
