MLB Twilight Zone: When it’s OK to Cheat

MLB Twilight Zone: When it’s OK to Cheat

It’s been impossible to escape the media circus surrounding Tiger Woods, but something’s been lacking from all the coverage over the past few weeks: with all the focus on Elin and the women who Tiger slept with, we haven’t heard anything about the guys who were romantically involved with Tiger’s mistresses. What did Jamie Grubbs’ […]

The MLB Twilight Zone: Takeout Gone Wrong

The MLB Twilight Zone: Takeout Gone Wrong

While the winter meetings continue in Indianapolis, there’s still plenty of baseball news to report on in New York…especially if you’re a quality publication like the Daily News. According to the Daily News’ Amanda Sidman, this past Sunday night when Derek Jeter ordered takeout from his favorite neighborhood Italian joint, Nino’s Positano, it caused some […]

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 […]

Start Spreading the News…

Start Spreading the News…

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 […]

“There’s no crying in…basketball?” by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein

In my continuing series on why women’s basketball is about as interesting as watching paint dry, I present you with the following: According to ESPN, Elena Delle Donne, the women’s basketball star recruit who left UConn last season after only 48 hours on campus because she had “burned out” on the sport, has admitted that […]

Not only did I have the last pick in the first round, but of course I picked CC Sabathia with my first choice. Of fuckin’ course. Let’s take a look at his craptastic Opening Day Stats. Everybody knows the hype that surrounds this guy. On the field, the 265-pounder is an intimidating presence – the […]

“It’s been a difficult several weeks and it’s been very painful for me and my family. I’m here to take my medicine” — Alex Rodriguez After hiring two PR firms and flying in Boras from Hermosa Beach, this is the best you can come up with, Alex? Are we really supposed to believe that a […]

“Tom Cable enjoys cutting himself in his spare time” by Norm Brooks

It’s the worst time of year for a sports fan – football is over, nobody cares about the NBA in February, and Pat Summitt is the hottest thing on TV. But as I enter my fifth straight month living on the street, I’m comforted to know that at least one person has it worse than […]

“A Game of…Relationships?“by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein

“A Game of…Relationships?“by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein

As a student of success, I’ve noticed something about all truly successful people: they understand the value of relationships. And as Yankees GM Brian Cashman quietly snuck Mark Teixeira out from under the noses of both the Nationals and the Red Sox this past week, he signaled to the rest of the league that he […]

“Another Corndog, Please“by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein

The Yankees may be excited about signing C.C. Sabathia to a seven-year $161 million deal, but it’s only a matter of time until they experience buyer’s remorse. Think about it – seven years from now Sabathia will be 35 years old, and that paunch isn’t getting any smaller. How the hell is a man that […]

“A Fat Check for a Fat Man” by Zachary Rubenstein

This weekend, Brian Cashman and Theo Epstein each met with the biggest (and I do mean biggest) free agent, C.C. Sabathia. It’s pretty clear the 270 pounder will end up in New York or Boston, but which team is the frontrunner? It’s all about who lays out the better spread during the meetings. Is a […]
