Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap. Two things come to mind when I see this: One, who let Chris Mortensen fill in for the graphics intern? And two, West Virginia has a lousy offense. Look, I'm not against Bonds retur...

I had a lot of fun last night participating in my first real draft of the year over at Mock Draft Central. The league is a 12 team roto league called Battle of the Fantasy Gods. Here’s how I did drafting from the 12th spot at building my 23-man roster. Remember that we have no bench spots, so ...

A celebration of baseball unity, when members of competing teams get together to defend the honor of their respective leagues, celebrate the best in baseball, obtain homefield advantage for a series they may not play in, try not to end up in a tie (or get hurt), and (most impo...

Jonathan Papelbon feels he should pitch the ninth inning of the All-Star game. Earlier today though, Papelbon has turned that statement around saying Mariano Rivera deserves the right to close out the ninth. I like Papelbon’s mentality in that he wanted the ball in the ninth but was he right t...

Final Score: Boston Red Sox 6, Minnesota Twins 5 I'll admit it: before the bottom of the eighth inning, I was going to write a post about how, all things considered, it was a better thing than not that Jon Lester matched Matsuzaka's total from last night by pitching seven and a third innings.

Final Score: Boston Red Sox 4, New York Yankees 5 Everyone knows Sox/Yanks games go forever. They last about as long as South American Dictatorships plus or minus a rebellion or rival cue. The last thing we need is extra innings. I have places to be (sleep) things to do (sleep) and people to see (sl...

So as we all know by now, the following Red Sox players will be on the All-Star roster, with an asterisk designating that the fans voted him in as starter: J.D. Drew — Can’t quibble with this one. Jonathan Papelbon — Makes sense. Dustin Pedroia* — Okay, defensible. He has a c...

A 16-11 swing has left the Sox in second place to start July, behind the surprising Tampa Bay Rays. Today comes the hated, the vaunted meek New York Yankees. Let’s kick butt and take names! Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To the Fire Branders: who on this table do y...
