My Brother Is Stupid–and That Does NOT Mean Stoopid Fresh.

When I read my big brother Nick’s guest column in our former hometown newspaper, my first feeling was pride in his accomplishment. Hey, we might scrap a bit, but we’re still siblings, and it truly changed my life when he invited me to be the final member of our groundbreaking vocal quartet 98 Degrees. (DON’T […]

Fever of Beisbol: A Message for You Ugie

How do you like my new photo? O my dear Ugueth, I was very surprise to see that los Tigres has traded you to los Filis. At first, I was very upseted. I was like this: “¡Oh no you did NOT do that to mi gran tio once removed!” I beg you, Alan Trammell seriously […]

Pig-Bitin’ Mad About Steroids!

I’m madder than a vegan at the World’s Largest Brat-fest about steroids in Major League Baseball! When the good Lord put us on this earth, he gave some of us some special talents. Some are really good painters, some can figure out the U.S.’s antiquated tax code, and some are very very good at sitting […]

The Physics of Baseball 1: “The Curious Case of Damon’s Mane.”

Johnny Damon recently suffered a minor injury, which was close to being a major one, by running into Fenway Park’s infamous center-field “Triangle” in pursuit of a fly ball off the bat of Jay Gibbons. (Of course, this trapezoidal area is nowhere near being an actual triangle, but no matter, we move on.) The sports […]

A Bunch More Thoughts on My Mind, While Praying Someone Will Hear Me.

These are tough times for a lot of teams as the season nears its 1/4 mark. Colorado is horrible, but that is not surprising, considering they have started eleven different first-year players so far. Maybe they should call them the Colorado Rookies instead of the Rockies! Also bad: the Astros (surprising!), the A’s (also surprising, […]

The Fee Simple! O Simple!

The news, as long as it is about baseball, never travels as quickly as it does around a team’s locker room. It is fair to say that the Reds were taken by surprise, which is to say poleaxed, which is also to say stunned, ambushed, shocked. Stymied. Undercut. Poleaxed. Blindsided. Flim-flammed. Jimmied. Hoosiered. Shanghaied. In […]

Dan Shanoff: The Baseball Quickie

FIRST IN THE BQ It’s the second month of the season, and it’s clear what the big stories are: ‘roids, ‘roubles in New York, and ‘reu. (That’s Bobby Ab-reu, that is, who is hot hot hot right now, pounding balls like he was Biggie and they were forties.) But the real story might be those […]

Even More Thoughts on My Mind.

The season is more than a month old now, and we’re starting to see some pretty impressive rookies out there. The wheat, as they say, is starting to be separated from the chaff, and we’re starting to see who’s going to stick, as well as who’s going to slide. I have to start first with […]
