The Sportsblahg Does It Again

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

So I’m not going to take full credit for this, but look at what happens when the Sportsblahg starts talking about gaming titles that they wish to see return, the magically begin to reappear.

Major League Baseball, Where To Next?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

After reading about all the “interesting” situations going on with this preseason and major league baseball teams traveling to Asia (Chan Ho Park incident, Red Sox incident), the Sportsblahg feels it is necessary to help Major League Baseball better pick locations for next season’s pre-season run around:

Since I am partial to the East, I figured we’d start with them both. You may be asking, “Why not be partial to the west, since you’re the west coast fan?”. Well truth is I’m a transplant, and though I enjoy watching the A’s, Giants, Dodgers and Angels. I can’t deny that my first two […]

With some 60-80 MLB players appearing on the Mitchell report due out shortly, I have devised a list of some of the players that are unlikely to make this list:
*Rich Garces - Former pitcher, Boston Red Sox: Sure he was big, but more in a fat way than a “juiced” way. In fact I have […]
