Written by paul on May 20th, 2008 | 1 CommentBud Selig is the worst commissioner there has ever been, in any sport. He is an absolute boob.

Yankees Appeal Suspension, Pose Weak Argument Using Strong Double-Negatives
Written by Chris on March 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment(Full disclosure: Yankees suck; Derek Jeter drinks wine coolers; year 2000 and all those I’m-a-Sox-fan prerequisites. You should approach this with the understanding that I’d offer to buy George Steinbrenner a drink, but I’d take him to a bar that only serves Zima.) Continue reading...
