Saturday Night Stat Dork

Published by tgim on May 18th, 2013

by Tommy Gimler

14 MLB teams currently sport a record under .500 in this young 2013 season. And nobody celebrates futility like us. Well, nobody celebrates deplorable futility quite like Taylor Swift, but after her, it’s definitely us. Anyway, since we’re in Joliet, Illinois on a slow Saturday night and we’ve been advised by others to just stay behind our locked hotel room doors, we decided to look at each shitty team and pinpoint at least one shitty stat that has contributed to the team’s shittiness.

Get The Shit Out Of Your Ears: Our First DUDcast

Published by tgim on April 3rd, 2013

by Tommy Gimler and Michael Louis

What do you get when you lock five sports fans and a comedian in a condo loaded with two bottles of Glenfiddich, eighteen Bud Lights, and a high-speed internet connection? Well, I guess it depends on which part of Los Angeles you live in. But in this case, we’re talking about our first podcast: The DUDcast. (more…)

DUD MLB Preview: The AL Central

Published by tgim on March 30th, 2013

by Tommy Gimler

Even my grandma knows that the Tigers are going to win the AL Central, and she’s been dead for eight years. But for the first time in decades, the Kansas City Royals have a roster made up of talent. And the Indians gave more money to Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn than what the entire city of Cleveland is worth. And the White Sox again have a solid pitching staff. And the Twins, well, good Christ. Not even Ron Gardenhire can manage this team of nobodies out of Pig Shit City… (more…)

DUD MLB Preview: Chicago White Sox

Published by tgim on March 25th, 2013

special to The DUD from Mandatory’s Gary Dudak

A cautious offseason by the White Sox front office has resulted in very pessimistic Gary Dudak, but that’s fine. In 2011, I was very optimistic and the Sox shit the bed (Adam Dunn shit the whole house). Last year, I was negative about our chances and we finished with a winning record, exceeding expectations (and Adam Dunn got a fresh pair of drawers, winning Comeback Player of the Year honors). So with all that in mind, here’s the most objective season preview I can give you for my beloved Chicago White Sox. (more…)

2013 MLB Over/Under Win Totals Are Out

Published by tgim on February 19th, 2013

by Tommy Gimler

The Atlantis Casino in Reno might be as irrelevant as Mindy McCready’s life 364 days of the year, but for the last seven years, they have been the first sportsbook to release Major League Baseball’s over/under win totals. So for that, they can plow my sister. (more…)

Which Number Will Be Greater, Mike Trout Stolen Bases Or Houston Astros Victories, And Other MLB Prop Bets For Your Ass

Published by tgim on February 11th, 2013

by Tommy Gimler and Jeffrey Leinenkugel

With pitchers and catchers for every MLB team set to report to Spring Training by tomorrow at the latest, we can finally stop talking about annoying offseason stories like tainted piss consultants, Mark Grace’s drinking problem, and the size of Scott Boras’s plums and instead focus on what is important like how pig shit awful the Houston Astros and Miami Marlins are going to be. And to do that, The DUD has come up with these entertaining prop bets to get you back in the mood for the game that is still more American than a school shooting. (more…)
