Prince Fielder heads to Motown…and more baseball news in this week’s Sweet Chin Muzak column.

Sweet Chin Muzak – A Look Back At My New Year’s Predictions

At the beginning of the year, I made some New Year’s Predictions and came back a month later with more . I wrote them with the intention of looking back at them near the end of the baseball season to see how off hilarious they’d look after the fact. Well, we have one month left in the baseball season, so it’s as good a time as any to take a look. The Giants won’t win the NL West in 2011 Of course, my first […]

Sweet Chin Muzak – Derek Jeter Gets Hit 3,000 In Style

Derek Jeter hasn’t forced this upon us. On second thought, maybe he has. But he hasn’t done it through Twitter or reality TV shows. He’s done it through winning. But not just winning. It’s the way he’s won. He’s done it with style and class. Jeter isn’t a choir boy. He’s dated several of the most famously beautiful women of our time like Adriana Lima, Jessica Alba, and Mariah Carey when she still had her fastball. And now, he’s dating […]

For Blerd Radio Episode 8, I turned to Jimmy , who hosts his own show entitled “Funny Like Car Accident Funny”. Over a wide ranging hour, we combined to bellyache about pertinent issues including: -Christine O’Donnell’s love of witchcraft. -Our need for a publicist to get us on “Real Time with Bill Maher” -What happens when Derek Jeter’s contract runs out at the end of this season (you think perhaps us talking about the Yanks was a bad luck charm?) -Whatever […]

Roger Clemens: What a Dope

When you’ve competed to win your entire life, it stands to reason that most people would take whatever shortcut they can to ensure success. So by that token, I understand why performance-enhancing drugs became so prevalent in Major League Baseball in the late Nineties. What I don’t understand is how a few players are so intent on saving their legacies that they’ll risk their freedom to preserve their legacies. OR, maybe Roger Clemens has been telling the truth all along […]

The Boss is Gone: R.I.P. George Steinbrenner

He may have been born in Ohio, and his primary home base might have been in Florida, but George Steinbrenner was the personification of New York. Loud and blustery, but determined to win at all costs. For better or worse, Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees for nearly 40 years, set the template for the modern day sports team owner. It would be hard to imagine, say…a Mark Cuban without George Steinbrenner. That letter than the Cavaliers owner sent […]
