Inside the visitor’s clubhouse at U.S. Cellular Field, the sight of so much acrimony the night before, the Royals sought calm. The pregame playlist was mellow, acoustic rock. At one point, during a break between songs, outfielder Lorenzo Cain crooned a croaky, a cappella rendition of Bette Midler’s “The Wind Beneath My Wings.” He would later chuckle when asked about his fistfight with White Sox pitcher Jeff Samardzija. Once again,…

I have watched sports most of my life. I admittedly know next to nothing about baseball. Growing up, my friends hardly if ever discussed “America’s Pastime.” I attended a Mets game last week and it was my first time in a Major League ballpark since 1992, when I caught my last Braves game at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta. The Braves haven’t played there since 1997. Even before I headed…

(Jim McIsaac/Getty Images) NEW YORK — The Mets beat the Braves, 6-3, on Thursday afternoon, completing a series sweep and tying a franchise record with their 11th straight victory. The win improved the team’s record to 13-3, the best in baseball. Yeah, it’s weird. Since back-to-back late-season collapses in 2007 and 2008, the Mets have gone six straight seasons without a winning record, most of them buried under albatross contracts…

Chris Rock doesn’t like where baseball is headed. (USATSI) It’s no secret there are fewer African-American players in baseball today than there were a generation ago. Approximately 8 percent of players on Opening Day rosters this season were black, down considerably from about 19 percent in 1986. During a recent segement on HBO’s Real Sports, comedian Chris Rock ranted about baseball’s lack of appeal to African-Americans and young people in…

Trying to find all of it while on your way to work or sitting at your desk just isn’t easy. It’s okay, though, we’re going to do the heavy lifting for you each…

Wilson explained that his musing about being another Stan Musial have nothing to do with his football contract. “I’ll tell you this, it’ll be very hard [to play…

Warning: the video below contains a bit of strong language. Though not particularly strong for Chris Rock. Just an F-bomb or two.  The latest entry in the Baseball is Dying, You Guys pantheon comes from Chris Rock, in the video below, from Bryant Gumbel’s HBO show. In it he actually says “Baseball is dying,” so it’s particularly spot-on! The video is more of a mixed bag than you tend to…

Bryan Price joined an impressive fraternity with his Monday rant that manages to utilize 77 F-bombs in a space of five-plus minutes, discussing and debating the various merits of the way baseball writers do their jobs. Since baseball is traditionally a salty sport managed by salty, peppery managers, the manager’s rant has become a quirky diversion. And some of the game’s greatest practitioners — Tommy Lasorda (two championships), Billy Martin,…
