Absolutely awful news coming out of the Netherlands this afternoon where promising Mariners outfielder Greg Halman was allegedly stabbed to death in what appears to be an incident of fratricide. Rotterdam police have arrested his 22-year-old brother Jason in connection with the murder. Halman, one of the few players from the Netherlands to ever wear […]

So apparently something called Manfest happened last week in a town called LaCrosse, Wisconsin. This is the first we’re learning about it, but apparently at said event, a summit of two people who helped make the Brewers nationally relevant occurred. Yes folks, our beloved Front Row Amy finally came face-to-face with noted Team Jacob member […]

Long before Brett Favre became known the world over for his dick shots, there was another Dickshot in professional sports who, to the best of our knowledge, never took any photographs of his manhood.  His name was Johnny Dickshot, his nickname was Ugly, and he played parts of six seasons in the Major Leagues between […]

Theo Epstein has punked his former assistant Ben Cherington yet again. The Cubs are set to announce that Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum will become the 52nd manager in team history at a press conference tomorrow morning.

In the information age, no rebranding effort stays under wraps for very long. Such is the case with the new Miami Marlins logo, which leaked months ago on internet message boards and social media. When it was first unveiled, reaction wasn’t kind. Critics knocked everything about the logo, from the 2-dimensional marlin flying out of […]

Turns out Cubs fans won’t be able to get their hands on an authentic Theo Epstein jersey after all. RedEye (a free publication offered by the Chicago Tribune) reporter Tracy Swartz is reporting that Sports World will no longer be selling the Epstein jerseys.

Walk around U.S. Cellular Field this summer and it’s highly unlikely you’ll see any fan wearing a jersey bearing the name of Jerry Reinsdorf, Kenny Williams, Rick Hahn or any other member of the White Sox front office. But visit Wrigley Field this season, where Theomania has reached a fever pitch, and you’re likely to […]

After waiting 39 years to see their team win their first ever World Series title, Texas Rangers fans are going to have to wait at least one more day. Game 6 of the World Series at Busch Stadium was officially postponed due to rain. Ron Washington is expected to trot out Colby Lewis tomorrow to […]

The Cardinals seem to have any number of conspiracy theories when it comes to why they can’t win in other teams ballparks. Back in August, LaRussa claimed the Milwaukee Brewers were using an LED ribbon board to give their hitters more light with which to see the ball when they were batting at Miller Park, […]

The sun appears to finally be setting on Kevin Costner’s Lake County Fielders. The team, which really hasn’t been viable from the get-go, is facing yet another public relations nightmare which is somewhat ironic given that team owner Richard Ehrenreich told me last year when I was working on a story for Page 2 that […]

Mere hours after I reported on my inability to find any trace of Theo Epstein in or around Wrigley Field, an official joint announcement from the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs comes down regarding the future of Epstein’s employment. Of course it did. Theo Epstein has officially been named President of Baseball Operations for […]
