We sincerely hope this post didn’t confuse anyone who may have been thinking it was referring to the award show with the same name.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned …
22 Feb“Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I willingly chose to sign with the Washington Nationals.” - Cristian Guzman
We’re not really sure who decided it was a good idea to take photos of the Nationals in confessionals. But a hearty “thank you” goes out to that person for the unintentional entertainment.
Name this former MLB ballplayer and win a prize…
21 FebLet us clarify. We meant prize as in the chance to showcase your TV commercials knowledge to the entire MLBlogs community by naming the person in the photo below and telling us what the ad was for.
Here’s a hint:
- The team that made use of this instructional video won back-to-back-to-back AAU National Championships (most likely in the early 90’s judging by the video quality in the actual commercial, which we couldn’t find on YouTube).
Also, what’s up with the hat? Really? Who ever heard of a pro ballplayer wearing a T-Ballers hat with a flimsy brim and mesh backing.
Who is this person?
Biz Markie + Time Travel = Mike Strahan?

If you don’t know who Doc Emmett Brown is, what the Flux capacitor does, why a Delorean is an unpractical, yet oh so cool ride, and that Huey Lewis made a cameo in the first “Back to the Future” movie-film then this post probably makes no sense to you. Also, the third installment was easily the weakest and we still have quarrels over whether the second film was equal or better to the first.
Inside the mind of The Max, part 3
20 FebHere’s the newest set of questions that have been occupying our every thought. Let us know if you’re thinking what we’re thinking.
Why is Seattle so excited to welcome back an older version of a guy who was
never able to carry them to a title when he was actually in his prime?
- At this point, wouldn’t it be bigger news to reveal players who DO NOT use PEDs, instead of those who do?
- Don’t you think that ESPN covering bass fishing makes as much sense as their coverage of the National Spelling Bee? Hey, at least the Bee is entertaining. By the way, neither is a sport.
- Don’t you think MLBlogs should slap the franchise tag on Julia? She’s money.
- Shouldn’t 2K Sports be embarrassed for putting out that MLB Front Office Manager game? Intellivision baseball is far more entertaining, which isn’t saying much.
- Is it OK that we would rather watch the Oscars this Sunday than that Nascar Sprint Cup thingy?
Why the name Michael really spells Trouble
20 FebThis is about Michael. Any Michael. Maybe even all of the Michaels out there.
We’ve done our research and we’ve come to one conclusion: people named Michael — except Michael Heller and Julia’s 11-year old son Michael (see the comments) — are causing trouble more often than people with other names. It’s true! OK, maybe it’s not. But we did find a bunch of people named Michael that deserve to be called out.
Check out the other offenders below.
