McGowan still not clicking

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:45:24 -0400

For all the promise he showed after his call-up in May of last season, could Dustin McGowan be any more ordinary this year? Sure, the Jays' pitching as a whole this season has at least allowed the team to tread water, but after his efforts toward...

Raps retain Calderon

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:10:36 -0400

With T.J. Ford all-but-officially on his way to Indiana, you had to figure it was only a matter of time before the Raptors wrapped up Jose Calderon to a long-term contract. That deal apparently was reached early yesterday, as Calderon agreed to...

New chapter in Ricciardi-Dunn saga

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:08:34 -0400

By now, you’re likely familiar with the J.P. Ricciardi and Adam Dunn saga. Last week, Ricciardi told a caller on The Fan 590 the Jays weren’t interested in the Will Ferrell look-a-like, insisting Dunn “doesn’t really like baseball that much” and ...

Shaq-Fu is back

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:42:04 -0400

If you're like me, you probably haven't heard anything about Shaq in about six weeks. Oh yeah, that's because his team was knocked out of the playoffs in the first round. It's also because he had the worst season of his career. Well, Shaq-Fu was ...

Hoffa revisited

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:32:40 -0400

Admittedly, I don’t follow college basketball much from April through February. From what I understood though, Andre Iguodala was a solid NBA prospect – an athletic swingman expected to go anywhere as high as third overall in the 2004 NBA Draft...

'Nuff said

No, it certainly doesn't. I've yet to find a better toupee than that in my life... (from Deadspin via The Sports Hernia)

Not sold on Mayo

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Fri, 16 May 2008 14:48:37 -0400

Every time I hear about the "O.J. Mayo brand", I think about the Entourage episode where Vinny fires Ari and shops himself around to other agencies: "MacDonalds...Nike...Vincent Chase." Well, I suppose Mayo's kind of like that, only he sucks. Vin...

Leave Billy Wagner out of this!

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:15:25 -0400

Mets closer Billy Wager did pitchers league-wide a service yesterday, ripping his teammates for dodging reporters after a 1-0 loss to the highly-competitive Washington Nationals. Though it doesn't really represent locker room chemistry, I'm sure ...

Still early, but...

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Thu, 15 May 2008 18:30:51 -0400

Yikes -- lately I've been so engulfed in the Blue Jays' great battle to score runs that I've failed to notice what else is going on around baseball. I knew the Tigers had turned it around briefly after their 2-10 start, but noticed just now they'...

Jazz fans not always so funny

nobody@vox.com(Jiggy) — Wed, 14 May 2008 15:54:47 -0400

The picture above is funny. Sure, Kobe's come a long way since his stay at a resort in Eagle, Colorado in July 2003, but putting together a display involving a blowup doll is both creative and requires a few minutes of work. What isn't funny, on ...
