A Second Term and a Second Chance in the Nation’s Capitol

Editor’s Note: While the New York Times‘ George Vecsey is not a member of the Baseball Tonight family, we are big fans of his at ESPN. When he mentioned in passing at Elaine’s that he had lots of material from his George W. Bush interview about the Washington Nationals that went unused in the Times, […]

I Kneed You Around

Hello Fans, This is the fluid from Barry Bonds’ knee. Since Barry’s spending so much time in rehab, and spending all his non-rehab time with his wife and kids (and his lawyers, who’ve been a great help), he hasn’t gotten a chance to give me access to his website log. Thankfully, the BBTN folks were […]

Cashing Out

To no one’s surprise, the atmosphere in the Yankees’ front office can be charitably described as hostile. Holed up in his Tampa cabana like a latter-day Col. Kurtz, George Steinbrenner is about to drop the axe; the only question is whose neck will be on the stump. Mel Stottlemyre is the obvious martyr, but pitching […]

PTI

Pardon the interruption, but I’m Mike Wilbon and Tony, I would have loved to have replied to your posts sooner, but I was too busy watching the BABY BULLS run their first round lead to 2-1 against an overmatched Bullets squad, AND watch my SAWKS, the WHITE ONES, go 2-1 and take the weekend series […]

Hair of the Dog

Attention ladies. It’s Sunday morning and I’ve got a hangover no pansy home remedy could cure, one eye crusted shut after takin’ a sucker punch from Harold at Flashdancers (see you in the studio tonight, a-hole), half-smoked Parliaments floating in every f-cking glass in the house, and I’m miles from the nearest church pew. No […]

The Unified Field Theory of Baseball, by Me, Rob Neyer.

Well, I finally figured out everything there is to know about baseball. That’s the good news. The bad news is: I finally figured everything out about baseball. Over the years I’ve covered this great, frustrating, wonderful game, I guess I’ve gotten a reputation as one of the guys who actually knows stuff, coupled with an […]

The Curse of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named

You may be forgiven for thinking that the wind howling down Brookline Avenue the other day was the laughter of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, forever haunting the Olde Towne Team with the memory of that fateful October night in the South Bronx. As yet another Red Sox hurler went down with a leg injury – in scenes eerily […]

Week Four

Welcome to the end of week four of the young baseball season, I’m Chris Berman and I hope you’re enjoying your Saturday afternoon. There are a lot of questions entering week five as we move into May … can the White Sox build on their torrid start? … are the Yankees in danger of missing […]

Kenny’s Revenge

White Sox general manager Kenny Williams has developed a less than stellar reputation for trading during his tenure with the team, thanks in large part to a series of deals with the Oakland A’s, most recently one that dealt away closer Keith Foulke, an anchor of the 2004 World Series champion Red Sox team. But […]
