The Giants hired Bruce Bochy as their new manager today. Many people, myself included, are facinated by Bochy’s huge head (seriously – it’s gotta be a size 9). This made me think of a great scene from ‘So I Married an Axe Murderer’. You’ll want to forward to the 3:02 mark [...]

It’s over for the A’s
Well, it’s over now. The A’s were outplayed by the Tigers and their season is over. Milton Bradley was one of the few bright spots for the A’s in this series. He batted .500 in the four-game series, had 35 % of his team’s total bases (17 of 48), and he played hurt during [...]

Eric Chavez has thrown in the towel

How much for #715?
Bidding on the Barry Bonds homerun ball #715 started this afternoon on eBay. The bidding starts at $10,000. The last Barry Bonds “milestone” ball (#700) went for $804,129 back in October 2004.
