The Most Important Cuban in Baseball

Sure Jose Contreas has pitched now for the last year like the guy the Yankees thought they were signing, but the Cuban that would make the biggest difference in baseball is Mark. Yeah, Mark Cuban. For some time now, Cuban has said he would be interested in buying the Pirates, which we all know [...]

Will You Be My Friend?

Let me begin by stating I’m very uncomfortable asking you to do this, because I think the whole thing is kind of ridiculous. In the business of stand-up comedy, myspace.com pages are the rage and for some comics, it has become a great promotional tool. I just put mine up (it needs a [...]

‘American Idol’ Review: Sure Taylor Won, But What’s the Deal with Freaky Clay Aiken?

I know I’m a little late doing a wrap-up of the final episode of American Idol, but I still do have a few things to offer. I will go in order, as the two-hour finale actually lived up to the hype. It had moments of great entertainment, even though half of the show was filled [...]

Schizo Scott on the 2006 Chicago White Sox

While ESPN has focused wall-to-wall coverage on the Yankees and Red Sox, you might have missed the most entertaining team in baseball. Oh and by the way, they just happen to be the defending World Champs. Sad isn’t it? Outside of the Chicagoland area, the White Sox are generally an afterthought, with [...]

Dear Forum,

(see Neal Cotts) Having said this, I do think when conventional wisdom believes the acquisition sucked from the beginning, there is a shorter [...]

‘American Idol’ breakdown: Is Chris Daughtry the new Roy Jones?

Regular Juice readers realize that I’ve been known to take shots at American Idol from time to time. I’ve been silent on the show this year, as this is the first season of AI that I’ve actually felt compelled to consistently watch past the Gong Show episodes that begin each year. This year [...]

Dan Lebatard Lives the Life We Dream Of

While working at the Fort Lauderdale Improv last week, I got a chance to appear on the Dan Lebatard afternoon sports show. Lebatard, who is a great columnist for the Miami Herald and ESPN the Magazine, just happens to be one of the best sports talk show hosts around as well. I’ve heard his [...]

Semi-Annual Juice Blog State of the State

Every so often, I need to explain a few things about what goes on here at this site. I do this on a regular basis, as some people continue to get confused about what this site is basically all about. Here is what my thoughts are about this blog.
Baseball is the number 1 [...]
