Baseball Hat of the Day

Has it been long enough for this hat to be cool yet?
I know, I know. I’m supposed to wear the hat of my favorite team. But, you know, that’s just kind of boring. Plus, the fashionista in me says I need a hat with a little more panache.*
This old Expos hat has lots of zesty [...]

Baseball Picks A Week Late

You know, anyone  can make predictions before the season begins. But if you ask me, I say that’s for amateurs. Because, really, come on — who knows anything before the season starts?
I mean, sure, maybe we’ve watched a few exhibition games. But what can we glean by watching guys who are going to end up [...]

MLB Season Opens as Expected — On the East Coast

Major League Baseball threw out the first pitch tonight and guess who ESPN featured on the ol’ boob tube … you guessed it, Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees.
The defending champion Yankees blew a late 7-5 lead to fall to the rival BoSox 9-7, but that’s not why I’m writing about it.
I’m writing about [...]

Yankees-Red Sox AGAIN????

Is it me or does it seem like the Yankees and Red Sox play each other, like, 60 times during the regular season?
Seriously. Every time I tune into ESPN, they’re announcing their next game — and it’s the freakin’ Yankees and Red Sox!
Am I crazy here? The Yankees schedule at the beginning of the season must [...]

WCBias.com’s Second Annual All-Steroid Team

In honor of the latest members of the MLB’s PEDebacle, roid-ragin’ WCBias.com presents its new and “better enhanced” All-Steroid Team.
(Don’t forget to compare this list to last year’s first-ballot Hall of Shame class.)
The second edition consists of the who’s who of players linked to performance-enhancing drugs, according to a rash of media reports, the latest [...]

Big Papi? Big freaking deal*

Shocking news out of the East Coast: Big Papi is a Big Cheat!
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?
Who’s next, Albert Pujols? No way! LeBron James? You’re crazy. [...]

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 [...]

It’s All Good in Mannywood

The other day Pembertonian was giving me crap, calling me a “homer” because I was talking about how much I love my job while he wallows in the self-pity that comes with working in the newspaper biz.
It was the first time in a long time someone could actually call me a homer, because if you’ve [...]

The Ordeal of Manny’s Many Faces

So Manny Ramirez is set to return Friday after his suspension for using female fertility drugs – they don’t allow that kind of stuff in California any more.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind or reception he gets around the Majors, from opposing players, fans, media, etc. But that’s not what I’m most interested [...]

Good News: Lakers aren’t doing women’s fertility drugs

Well, there’s finally some good news coming out of LA: No D-Fish, no problem for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers took hold of the series with Houston, taking a 2-1 lead tonight with a 108-94 victory.
Kobe Bryant dropped 33 on the Rockets, and for the second straight game Los Angeles played with grit – a [...]
