I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been kind of bored with the World Baseball Classic so far. I’m wasn’t expecting much, but at least more than these mediocre games. Remember a couple seasons ago, where we all said Prince Fielder lost his...

Alfredo Aceves — Crazy (Gnarls Barkley) As a general rule of thumb, anyone who chooses their number as a tribute to Dennis Rodman has a screw, or two, lose. Aceves is certainly not an exception. Andrew Bailey — Everybody Hurts (REM) Every player gets hurt...

And no, I don’t mean the end of the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey “feud” on American Idol. Though that can & should end now. Preferably at this very moment. After weeks of facepalms, exasperated sighs and sporatic shouts of “C’MON!”...

Does anyone else look up highlights on MLB.com to get your baseball fix? Or is that just me? Because home run highlights are pretty awesome. That, and whatever Mike Trout does. We hear nothing out of the Sox for weeks, and then Terry Francona fires a shot over the...
