World's Greatest Living Peorian Jim Thome (apologies to Joe Girardi) moved up in baseball's record books on Monday night by becoming the eighth player in big-league history to hit his 600th career home run. There will be no HBO special to capture the chase to this accomplishment (as far as ...

How bad are the Houston Astros?
We're glad you asked.
After Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks, Houston dropped to 40 games below .500 for the season. The Astros would have to go on a 43-3 tear in order to break even in 2011. Obviously that would be one of the unlikeliest scenarios ...

All across TV Land and the Forest of the Internets, people have spent much of Monday castigating Yankees fan Christian Lopez for his rather innocent decision to return Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit to Jeter rather than selling it off to the highest bidder.
Surely this attitude must be a joke, I ...

The World Cup is great. Really is. But it's still got nothing on baseball.
Yesterday, when the Netherlands scored to make it 3-1 in the second half, the commentators conceded that it was all but over and the Dutch were headed to the final. And this was with a good 20 ...

My roommate’s birthday was last week and as a supplementary gift his mom gave him two suite tickets for Monday’s Indianapolis Indians game.
It's 5:30 p.m. He walks into my room asking if I’d like to make a 7 p.m. first pitch. I figure it’s a Monday night, the tickets provide ...

There's been a minor hubbub about Yankees' fans treatment of Javier Vazquez in his first start at Yankee Stadium this year. Vazquez didn't pitch very well, but he wasn't awful either (5.1 IP, four runs, six hits). But depending on the which account you read, he either ...

Briana Evigan is a hot chick I'd never heard of until this afternoon. After minimal research I realized that she can dance. And as I've always said, there's nothing better than a hot chick who can dance. For real. Watch this video. You'll be glad you did.
