Portraying Hillary as a busty kissing bandit? Was Upper Deck even thinking? Oh, you better believe they were, and they wanted bloggers to be part of their strategy. More on that later. First, the card… FRONT BACK So how do I know about this? Well, a PR flack sent it my way, and although I [...]
Yeah, he probably juiced at one time or another, but you try to hit a Randy Johnson fastball 400 feet. First, a story about number 756. Then, a story about how he get there. And who caught the ball? A guy from New York? Congrats Barry!
What’s sad is that following seems to be yet another example of China being China. They make no apologies for the crazy stuff that they do, and we keep buying their crap because they can make things for us cheaply. So where’s it gonna stop? From Press Esc: The Chinese authorities are forcibly evicting 1.5 [...]
A buddy of mine bought a pack of Topps Opening Day baseball cards the other day and found a couple of celebrities in the Derek Jeter card who probably weren’t there when the photo was taken. Find Bush and Mickey Mantle in the pic. Weird, eh? And of course they know about it, but still… [...]

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament begins today, and for the first time, every game of the 19-day ritual known [...]
