    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    If Im following, both Ohtani stories include a large money wire from Ohtani's very own bank account to a black-market bookie who is under federal investigation. Here on planet earth that simple transaction would constitute "concerning." Like MLB, I would just prefer for this to go away in the...

    Rest in Peace, DaveRoberts'Shoes

    Dr. Geary without question was a first ballot hall of fame poster on sosh. Having read through all the reflections from strangers, friends, patients and all the accounts of his personal life it really seems like he was a rarity (somewhat like our other recently perished Red Sox legend Tim...

    Didn't happen in Fenway. But otherwise, yes.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    Perfectly put Homar. He might not wanted or needed us all pulling for him but we are.

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    As they should. In Sept. '22 Story might not have been figuring he'd be playing SS in the spring and his elbow didn't hold up to him trying to ramp it up (although I am not sure of the exact scenario of how the injury occurred. I just figured it was the same bad arm that wasn't a secret...

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    ...Another angle, that we can only speculate about could be the medical staff. Everybody in the league was worried about Story's arm... Story finished out '22 with a bum arm. It may have been overly optimistic to think 8-10 weeks of rest was going miraculously cause his elbow to heal on its...

    Rafael Devers: post extension performance

    It seems to me that Devers has always had the knack to making the low probability athletic and reactive plays at 3rd. The knocks on his defense always have come from the poor execution of routine and perhaps judgment-type plays. For whatever it's worth. It typically nets out to a below...

    All-Star Rosters 2023

    Pounding down and away like Maddux, but he kept a great rhythm and was pretty consistent

    All-Star Rosters 2023

    Tried two and both want card info for the "free trial" I doubt Im the only one. This is a fun event that should just be made available. I think

    All-Star Rosters 2023

    Easier to rob a bank tonight then stream the derby. Kudos to MLB for keeping the clamps as tight as ever. Wouldn't want to promote this or anything (to households whom try to keep their cable internet bills below $100/month). Yes I am cheap, but their marketers are below par

    2023 PGA Championship--Oak Hill

    I don't follow sports like I used to but this 15th place finish has got to be the sports story of the year. That slam dunk was insane and a shot heard around the world. Guy is a rock star.

    Only God Can Judge Judge

    It seems the most likely story is either Judge told the truth or he was trying to steal the catchers location out of the peripheral using his special-captian-powered-calm eyes. Either way, complete, non-story--game within the game stuff. Toronto should brush him back if they're worried about it.

    2023 PGA Tour

    Perhaps we can work out some Jimmy Fund bet expiring before Tigers 50 or something.?. The kids are good, yes, but Tiger won a major not that long ago and Phil won even more recently while struggling to break 80 since. But seriously how does one go about reading the vegas odds on somethin...

    2023 PGA Tour

    Without knowing or understanding the Vegas odds on Tiger winning again, I will say if I had to bet on my life--I would say Tiger wins again. Perhaps not a major and it appears, as you say his body is shot for any consistent rise to the top. But if Tiger can so much as get within sniffing...

    MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years with no pay

    Sure wish baseball players were held to the same standards as other sports (looking at you, specifically, NFL...see the 'roids and domestic violence-- for the most part). Without knowing all the publicly available released info on Bauer's legal situation, I do know enough about it, to know, I...

    The 5 Dumbest Moves in Franchise History

    Without delving into the days the Titanic was afloat, we can mostly all recount the days when we could count, on one hand, after the 4th of July, the amount of pitches squared up on Papelbon. For a few years he was about as lights out as one could ever hope a closer to be. But by the time free...
