It’s time for another trip to the weird, the wild, the wonderful…the MLB Twilight Zone. This video is so on point that it doesn’t need much of an intro. Suffice to say, we have a newfound respect for Joey McIntyre, and aside from “The Right Stuff” (it’s just so damn catchy), this is his finest […]
For us here at the GSF, the MLB postseason can’t come soon enough. Say goodbye to the meaningless games of this year’s pathetic September and hello to the glorious rivalries of October. So to get ready for the action to come, here’s a video that will no doubt fire you up. Now we’re not condoning […]
With the NFL season under way and baseball’s postseason around the corner, you probably aren’t leaving your couch very often. As we say here at the GSF: screw Christmas — this is the most wonderful time of the year. But for our resident fantasy sports addict, Norm Brooks, September can be a difficult month, typically […]
Buster Olney has done some great work in the past, both on ESPN’s Baseball Tonight and in this fantastic commercial. But there’s no arguing that this Paul O’Neill-loving baseball savant does some of his best work on his blog. And yesterday he broke out some seriously interesting shit. Discussing the future of the Milwaukee Brewers, Buster […]
Yesterday’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs was historic, but for the loyal fan base of the Pirates, it wasn’t even worth lifting an eyebrow. Sure, Derrek Lee jacked two homers and Ted Lilly pitched convincingly to bring the Cubs a much-needed win. But that wasn’t what fans, players, or even opposing […]
Since the All-Star break, there’s been no hotter team in baseball than the New York Yankees. With their typical late-inning heroics, they’ve run away with the AL East, and unlike recent Yankee squads, this team actually seems to be having fun. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you gotta respect their newfound swagger. But when you […]
Whether it’s a little leaguer or the lovable Louis Tiant, what kid doesn’t want to impress his father? And throughout baseball’s rich history, we’ve seen countless ballplayers follow in their father’s footsteps, building their family’s legacy on the field. But while Prince and Cecil swap big league stories over veggie burgers and baba ganoush, it’s […]
Unless you’re a sadistic Cubs fan, this is painful to watch. (Tirico Suave) Screw Cliff Lee – Chase Utley just wants to feel the warm embrace of Ryan Howard. (The Onion) Big Papi knows that you always wear polyester when fighting steroid allegations. (Sons of Steve Garvey) What’s harder to do: make a baseball bat […]
Whether it’s arguing over a property trade in Monopoly, rolling double sixes in Parcheesi or hoping to pull a Q in Scrabble, a little competition among friends never hurt anyone. But in the dog days of summer, can the simple pleasures of a board game cheer up the hapless New York Mets? We’re talking about […]
Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, hate me because I’m Rickey Henderson. (Hugging Harold Reynolds) Evidently the Philly Phanatic has a thing for trannies. (Major League Jerk) Who knew that Fantasy Camp includes karaoke? (Babes Love Baseball) Is it possible that the Yankees go 0–12? (Josh Q Public) Yup, it’s official: it sucks to be […]
At this point, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing big leaguers test positive for steroids. It’s become as common as seeing a twenty-something actress “forget” to wear underwear and flash her cooter at the paparazzi. But when news broke that “Big Papi” David Ortiz was among those who tested positive for steroids in 2003, my heart […]
This morning I was fortunate enough to sneak into my buddy Greg’s basement so that I could adjust my squad on his computer. It had been a few days since I’d gotten online, and I happened to notice that I was approaching the Innings Pitched limit — I would only be able to start pitchers […]
Time for yet another trip into the bizarre, the zany, the wacky, the strange…the MLB Twighlight Zone. We’ve all had that high school coach who liked to raise his voice a bit too often. And we’ve certainly seen emotions run high when coaches and general managers speak to the press. But according to the New […]
How the Dodgers’ Billboard campaign appeals to every Los Angeleno. (Sons of Steve Garvey) Joe Morgan’s at it again… (UmpBump) “Do you think these jeans make me look Mom-ish, Albert?” He’s got a huge contract, but what he really wants is Godzilla’s helmet. (Deadspin) How the Padres are bringing down the economy of San Diego. […]
With its plethora of numbers and meticulous recording of even the most insignificant statistics, baseball seems to attract those who revel in the minutiae, and often times, those who still live in their mother’s basement. Yes, they may be socially awkward, but they can also tell you how many times Bobby Thomson struck out during […]
Back in May, 50 games sounded like an eternity. But now that Manny’s paid his penance, the Dodgers couldn’t be more excited to bring their slugger back to the lineup. And this past weekend, they pulled out all the stops to make him feel welcome again. We understand the confusion: Manny does have excellent birthing […]
Promotional contests aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be. But when they’re free to enter, and you have the chance to win 2 tickets to the baseball stadium of your choice, it’s kinda like taking steroids in the early 90s…there’s no downside. So we’re proud to announce the GSF’s first contest, which is taking […]
Ugueth Urbina might be in prison in Venezuela, but his son is on the Mets. Which sucks more? (Tirico Suave) Kobe Doin’ Work disappointed. But Spike’s new joint, Manny Doin’ Work, shows a lot of promise. (Portal A) It may not be baseball, but hot dogs, overeating, and all things Joey Chestnut are inseparable from […]
Sure, I may be a fantasy addict, but just because it’s called “fantasy” doesn’t mean it’s not real. You try walking in my shoes for a day, and not only will you get athlete’s foot, but you’ll understand the harsh realities of my day to day. From panhandling to public urination, it’s no walk in […]
