data-mm-id=”_w3x0tbf0o”>Alex Rodriguez has posted a video pleading with players and owners alike to "step up to the plate together" in order to get baseball back in these unprecedented times. He did this with a straight face, but by no means do viewers have to keep one while watching. It’s time for owners and players to step up to the plate … together.This is a huge opportunity for the game of baseball to take a huge leap forward and show leadership. We are in unprecedented times. pic.twitter.com/F8iMqTVyby— Alex Rodriguez (@AROD) May 16, 2020Here's his pitch:“It is the people’s comfort food and people are starving. And I just don’t want to see this great game, people fighting, billionaires fighting with millionaires. This has nothing to do with the past. Thi…
data-mm-id=”_nfiwx1kac”>Roger Clemens showed flashes of brilliance during his first two Major League seasons, compiling a 16-7 record and 3.88 ERA. The 22-year-old won his first three starts in 1986 and took the hill full of confidence 34 years ago tonight against a woeful Seattle Mariners club. It would prove to be the first of many explosive launches for Rocket.Clemens fanned the side in order in the first and picked up two more in the second and one in the fourth. Then he ripped off a stretch where eight consecutive outs came via the strikeout, moving his in-game total to 14 through six innings.With the MLB record of 19 firmly in reach, the fireballer notched two each in the seventh and eighth with impossibly unhittable stuff. Clemens tied the mark by dusting Spike Owen and broke it…
data-mm-id=”_t98w9w1t9″>It's unclear whether Ryan Fitzpatrick intends to play football in 2021 or beyond. John Clayton became the first noted NFL reporter to suggest he won't, writing it, "looks like he's going to retire" in a story published earlier this week. That doesn't mean Fitzpatrick is going to retire, especially with so many teams in need of quarterbacks this offseason and the free agent list short and undistinguished. But if Fitzpatrick does wind up retiring, ESPN should be the first organization to call his agent and offer him a job. Before the 2020 season, we ranked Fitzpatrick as the third-best quarterback in the NFL based on broadcasting potential behind only Drew Brees and Philip Rivers. The reasoning was simple: Fitzpatrick is smart (went t…
data-mm-id=”_1buqg08l5″>For the second time in as many days, a member of the Le Batard family has bellied on up to the bar to face the music in a gauzy, reading-from-prepared-remarks-for-the-first-time tone. Late last night it was the younger shock jock who sunk his future prospects into deeper uncertainty by revealing some things that would be Hilaria if they weren't so serious.Tonight it's the elder Le Batard appearing with an unnamed cameraperson oddly struggling to stifle laughter as portions of the truth were doled out in last-minute desperation. "Doug from Des Moines" absolutely emptied the chamber, throwing himself and several other members of the expanded Le Batard and Friends Universe under the bus. pic.twitter.com/FWHDT34Ylg— Dan Le Batard Show with Stug…
data-mm-id=”_jbnn218od”>About 24 hours ago, I became aware that a Fall Out Boy cover of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire would be dropping today. A sense of deep, almost existential dread swept over me almost immediately. A slow rollout of the lyrics did precious little to allay any anxiety or nervousness. This was the exact moment I knew all of us in the FOB community were in for some trouble. LA Riots Rodney King— Fall Out Boy (@falloutboy) June 27, 2023Like many other superfans, I scrambled to the boards to see if it was too late to do anything about this and discovered that, like it or not, this was something that was going to happen and we were going to have to wear it like an inside fastball for the good of the team. And that's what we're going to do. B…
data-mm-id=”_dinrq0m3h”>Last week the 2023 Ryder Cup took place at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Italy. The Europeans triumphed once again over the Americans.

data-mm-id=”_xe9h9do6u”>The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils faced off in Jersey on Thursday night and the hockey game was ugly on the ice, while things weren't great off of it either. Near the end of the first period as the Rangers led 2-0, two fans in the stands got into a fight and wound up landing some pretty hard punches. It appears a Devils fan and a Rangers fan were chirping at each other, which led to a standoff with a railing between them. As others came over to try and separate the two, the Devils fan landed some big time punches. It appeared to be over, but the Rangers fan threw back before it ended. The Devils fan was then led away by security. Here's video:Devils VS Rangers game is getting CHIPPY @CoachChippy Fight in stands turns into melee @NYRangers @NJ…
