Are you serious with this? Houston Astros RF Hunter Pence was getting out of his hot tub in his spring training home to use the bathroom. He claims to have left the door open. He apparently did not notice that a friend had shut the door, and sure enough, BAM, he crashed into the glass [...]
Here we go, let the suspensions begin! A number of major leaguers have been accused of taking HGH, but baseball didn’t ban the substance until January 2005. Players like Troy Glaus, Gary Matthews Jr., Rick Ankiel, and Scott Schoeneweis were let off the hook, because even if they did get shipments of the stuff, it [...]
Revisiting a story from early in the year, St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa pleaded guilty to a DUI Wednesday. Eight months ago, LaRussa was found asleep in his truck at a stoplight in Florida during spring training. The bonehead passed out at the wheel with his truck in drive and his foot [...]
I applaud the man’s effort in this situation, but Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Joel Zumaya wasn’t very careful when helping his parents evacuate their house due to the California wildfires. Zumaya went up to the attic to grab some things for his father when a big box fell on him, severely injuring his pitching shoulder. [...]
Mike Cameron on Wednesday became just the second player to be suspended for taking banned stimulants. Cameron will serve a 25-game suspension at the start of the 2008 season for testing positive a second time for a banned stimulant.

Why do fans always have to take to the streets and attack cars to celebrate? The Boston Red Sox won their 2nd World Series title in 4 years Sunday night, and the fans got extra rowdy! Police arrested 37 people for disorderly conduct following the clincher. Unruly fans flipped a truck, set a car on [...]
This one is funny on both sides — first, as happens often in many sporting events, a lot of Boston fans got a little too crazy celebrating their team’s return to the World Series Sunday night. In fact, 26 fans got arrested for disorderly conduct as they ignored police orders and even threw rocks [...]
Some boneheaded words came out of the mouth of Manny Ramirez yesterday. With Boston facing elimination tonight, Manny told reporters “who cares? There’s always next year. It’s not like it’s the end of the world.” Wow. Way to rally your team and get the support of the fans! It must be comforting knowing that your [...]
A bonehead slide by Arizona outfielder Justin Upton caused quite a stir during Game 1 of the NLCS last night. Having been hit by a pitch from Jeff Francis, Upton stared down Francis on his way to first, clearly upset. With runners on first and second, a ground ball was fielded and flipped [...]
LeBron James is causing quite a stir in Cleveland, where he’s openly professing his support of the Yankees over the hometown Indians. It’s true that he’s been a Yankees fan for some time now, and I don’t so much mind him sticking with his team, but the problem has been his open flaunting of [...]
