Big Papi? Big freaking deal*

Who would have thought big ol’ David Ortiz tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003 – just in time to lead the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series in a trillion years?

Stop the Internets! Exclusive Ziguana Fantasy Sports Interview!

I know something that you don’t know.  I know, without a doubt, that in my fantasy league Jayson Werth is more valuable than Ryan Howard.  But how?  How can I possibly know such things?  Apples and oranges, right?  What if I could tell you that the most valuable closer on my fantasy team is Andrew [...]

Top 1st: Cincinnati

BEAST MODE

Hello sportsfriends.  Who you got in the Derby?  I know it’s impossible to ever root against Albert Pujols in any way shape or form but I’m going to go with Ryan Howard.  Howard’s numbers have been backsliding for the past three-plus years but the one thing he DOES still do is put balls over the [...]

Dirty Sanchez

“Absolutely filthy.”
That’s how ESPN’s Baseball Tonight crew described Jonathan Sanchez’s no-hitter tonight.
And while we don’t write about the San Francisco Giants that often on The Bias, we had to give a tip of the hat to Sanchez, a kid who was 2-8 coming in to this start and wouldn’t even be on the bump if [...]
