Seems like NBC might be calling the series a little early.

Brought to you by Kottke , a really cool video of Beep Baseball — where baseball is adapted for the blind and visually impaired using sonar beeps and “spotters”.

Mike Blowers made the call of the year before a Seattle Mariners game yesterday. I always kind of thought that commentators just made stuff up and hoped no one noticed. Unreal. This guy should be burned as a witch.

He manages to reach up and catch a foul ball bare-handed with one hand while holding his kid (who's holding his drink) with his other. ( via )

This has gotta be one of the most amazing plays I've ever seen!

A collection of very nicely designed baseball infographics. Some of these charts could pass for a Peter Saville album cover, which you'll appreciate even if you know nothing about baseball (that would be me).

This guy's got a crazy baseball swing. But can he actually hit a ball?

It's baseball season and that means just one thing: horrible renditions of “Take Me Out to The Ballgame.” It's OK when you sing it, but when celebrities get the mic, it's a whole other story. See more horrendous performances at Popeater . Someone needs to tell these celebrities they can't sing.

Maybe it was the recent Yankees win (or maybe it was booze…yeah, it was booze) that sent this Red Sox fan over the edge. We love how the announcer refers to the woman begging him to stop dancing is his “wife or girlfriend.” With those moves, dude looks like he's led a fierce Pride parade or two.

A blog that begs Mets slugger David Wright to grow a mustache. Why? The champion 1986 Mets had a record 11 mustaches, while 2009's Mets currently have 3. A little superstition never hurt anyone? And shouldn't mustaches technically be the new beards by now?

According to this absolutely horrifying, graphic retelling of former Yankee and current San Francisco Giants pitcher Randy Johnson's wild and pervy antics, there is reason to judge a man by his mustache. Apologies to Johnson, as he's surely a fine, upstanding husband and father of four. It's just that YouTube can get crazy sometimes, y'know?

SPORTS BUZZ: The former manager of the New York Yankees has a new memoir entitled The Yankee Years , in which he allegedly writes about some of the Dream Team players in a less-than-flattering manner. So is there anyone with something nice to say about A-Rod? Anybody? …Bueller? …Bueller? …Bueller?

Perhaps the second more frightening website around, ESPN takes Yankee pitcher CC Sabathia's new $160 million salary and lets you know how many years you'd need to work to earn it (along with how many pitches, strikeouts, and wins CC would need to perform to earn yours!) Another reason why I hate sports!

Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James has tongues wagging today after last night's amazing dunk against the Milwaukee Bucks, that started at the free-throw line. Purists are saying it wasn't exactly at the free-throw line, but it's a heckuva dunk none the less!

SPORTS BUZZ: Cleveland’s Asdrubal Cabrera made only the 14th unassisted triple play in major league history playing against the Toronto Blue Jays Monday night. A line drive to second base with the runners going, and Cabrera makes the triple play look like no big deal. He also hit a homerun earlier in the day in the first game of a double-header, making him the first player to ever do both in the same day.

SPORTS BUZZ: Baseball pitching great Roger Clemens had a 10-year affair with country singer Mindy McCready that began when she was 15-years-old. What better way to launch a career than a giant sex scandal? She’s working on a documentary, as well as staging a comeback with a reality show and a new album. It’s been a while since someone wrote a catchy tune about statutory rape.
