I’m rich, bitch!

By GibbyZee ⋅ August 9, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Matt Murphy is a very lucky young man. The New York Mets fan who just happened to be at AT&T Park the other night managed to emerge from under the scrum in the stands with Barry Bonds’ no. 756 in his hands. Now most people would immediately think about selling the historic ball or maybe […]

Neifi Perez Loves Him Some Speed

By oddSeth ⋅ August 3, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Detroit Tigers’ shortstop Neifi Perez has once again tested positive for a banned stimulant, as he’s set to be suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball for his third failed test. Perez was coming down from a suspension of 25 games that started on July 6 for amphetamines, a sentence that was to end on […]

Clemens back in pinstripes

By oddJoe ⋅ May 7, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

The annual ritual of wooing Roger Clemens is finally over so now baseball season can begin. I know it was probably pretty tough on everyone, a lot of sleepless nights worrying about where the Rocket would end up: Would he stay in Houston or maybe back in Boston, oh I just don’t know. Well rest […]

Sweet Jebus, was this the longest week ever or what? Thank heavens its Friday. (Or thank goodness for you TGIFridays fans.) So you’re probably wondering what to do with your blissed-out, not-at-work selves for two days. Well, the oddsnark Weekend Planner is here to help.
There is a little thing called the NCAA Final Four happening […]

Ugueth Urbina Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison

What’s the moral of this story, kids in the audience?
1) Attacking anyone with a machete isn’t a very good idea, nor is it very nice.
2) If you do attack someone with a machete, try to come up with a better legal defense than “Yo, I was asleep.”

Wanna Buy Manny Ramirez’ AMAZING Grill?

By oddSeth ⋅ March 21, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

You could be the proud owner of a lightly used JENN-AIR grill owned by none other than Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez, who is auctioning it off on eBay. At lasy check the grill was fetching bids of over $20,000, which is pretty steep for a $4,000 grill at retail.
“Hi, I’m Manny Ramirez,” the listing […]

Barry Bonds is a Liar or Mark Sweeney is a Tweaker: You Make the Call

By wizardofblog ⋅ January 11, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s play the pretend your Barry Bonds game. Put the syringe down, rest your gargantuan, swollen noggin’ against a reinforced support of some sort, and try to concentrate.
You fail a test for amphetamines and not only dodge a suspension because it’s your first offense, but the news never reaches the press, per MLB’s policy of […]

Breaking News: Tony Gwynn Likes Tootin’ Dudes’ Horns!

By oddSeth ⋅ January 10, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Fresh off induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Tony Gwynn feels that the time is right for the tootin’ of horns of contact guys:
“I’m excited about it because it gives me an opportunity to toot the horn of the contact guy, that guy who doesn’t hit a whole lot of home runs, who sprays […]

Cal Ripken is 98.5% a Hall of Famer

By oddSeth ⋅ January 9, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Congrats to Cal for getting into the Hall of Fame with a near-record vote total, falling just shy of Tom Seaver’s 98.84% total in 1992. But are there really that many cantankerous, crochety people that get their hands on ballots and get to vote, each and every year?
I guess I can understand a few people […]

And You Thought Brett Favre Was Bad

By oddJoe ⋅ November 2, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Very surprising news about Roger Clemens today:
DALLAS (AP) — A no-decision for Roger Clemens. Clemens will file for free agency, but the seven-time Cy Young Award winner insists he hasn’t decided whether he will pitch for the Houston Astros or anyone else next year.
“Full season, half season or at all, I haven’t even thought about […]
