The Royals have stunk for years, but that hasn't stopped their closer Joakim Soria from becoming one of the top relievers in baseball.  Last season, Soria converted 43/46 save opportunities, struck out over a batter an inning, and compiled a 1.78 ERA.  His success and Mexican roots earned him the nickname...

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen is known for his outlandish comments.  Like the time he said that Major League Baseball didn't care about teaching players about performance-enhancing drugs. Or when he said that Asian players get preferential treatment in the United States over Latino players.   But...

During his time with the Chicago White Sox, Ozzie Guillen has built a reputation as a tenacious, borderline insane person/manager.  To help fix this image, he recently started a blog to connect better with fans. Each week he posts a Q&A section where he answers fans questions.  Here’s one question...

Plain and simple, this is the best time for sports. The MLB actually has people watching games as it sprints (crawls) towards the World Series. The NBA regular season is creeping up on everyone and of course both college and pro football are in full swing.  And then there's the beginning of the NHL...

C.J. Wilson has quietly been one of the many reasons the Texas Rangers are returning to the playoffs for the first time since 1999.  Wilson- who primarily worked out of the 'pen last season (5-6, 14 saves, 19 holds, 2.81 ERA in 2009) has been a rock of consistency for the Rangers rotation this season,...

If it hasn't been covered yet, let me say, for the record- I'm a Tampa Bay Rays fan.  And a big one.  And one of the few.  And now, my fears are being realized: the players are beginning to notice that the all the empty blue seats aren't representative of a mass exodus to the bathroom, but unsold...

The last thing I want to see while checking twitter feeds all around TheJockosphere is a tweet from Mark Teahen (or any other jock) about Justin Bieber. Even something like this: RT @InsideTheSox: #JustinBieber is scheduled to throw out ceremonial 1st pitch before 2nite's #WhiteSox game. But that's...

Mike Bacsik is not your household name.  Though he has the greatest first name in the world (thank you very much), little else is known about the former MLB pitcher.  Until a few days ago, he was famous- or infamous- depending on who you ask, for one brief moment: To put it lightly, they weren't exactly...

Jose Canseco lives in a strange world.  A world where visits from FBI agents seem semi-normal and subpoenas to appear before a grand jury are nothing more than a passing tweet.  This is the same world where he can selfishly promote himself (basically beg for money), and talk about testosterone levels...

Ozzie Guillen is know for his foul-mouthed rants against everyone, everything, and everywhere. Also, he's known as the manager of the Chicago White Sox. Now that we have that cleared up, it's no surprise that Ozzie's new Twitter page is causing such a brouhaha. I mean, if you look at some of his tweets,...
