Crack the Mumms.

Go crazy, folks.  Go crazy.  That’s Jack Buck.  So, are we feeling like 1990s Braves fans yet?  Is this getting boring?  Another division title for the Phillies, but now the real season starts.  I think that’s a Fox commercial or something.  The Phillies easily handled the Astros on Wednesday night to clinch the NL East [...]

Flies in the Donut Case.

Yeah, I mean I’m not going to talk about this for a whole post, but I saw it…fly in the donut case.  A real appetite suppressant.  How much do you want the donut?  If flies left foot prints in the icing, it’d be easier to make these kinds of decisions.  Do you call it to [...]

My One Team NHL Preview.

Here’s the bad news.  Barry Melrose likes the Flyers.  He also picked Chris Pronger to win the MVP.  If there’s a more compelling case that Pronger will not win the MVP, well I’m not aware of it.  At least Barry wasn’t making the safe pick, but I don’t need Pronger to be an MVP.  If [...]

Magic Number is One, but…

A lot of the heat went out of the playoff races last night.  Minnesota had a chance to sweep a double header against Detroit, and tie everything up, but Justin Verlander stepped in to stop the bleeding.  The Phillies managed to slip by Houston, boosted by a Petey Feliz grand slam, and combined with a [...]

Revised Top-10 NFL Quarterbacks.

The previous NFL QB ratings post proved to be one of the most popular of all-time.  That was partially do to the epic discussion of Eli and Donovan that followed, but alas…three weeks into the season I feel like the QB picture in the NFL has been changed drastically.  I don’t even remember my first [...]

GQ Ranks Despicable Coaches.

You know, I don’t mind GQ.  A $2000 extra-slim suit isn’t really in my realm, but they usually have good feature articles, and provide interesting information on food, travel, decent movie/tv reviews, etc.  They’ve been known to have a few pictures of attractive ladies as well.  When they dip into the sports realm, though, they [...]

I’ll Say When.

It’s not quite time yet.  I mean, believe it or not, it could be worse.   We could be Carolina Panthers fans.  What a pile of slop that team is.  The good news is, the Cowboys are terrible, maybe the worst 2-1 team in the history of the NFL.   Nice TV in the stadium, but your [...]

The Surging Braves.

So, here’s the recent modus operandi in the National League.  Some team comes streaking from off the pace, sweeps through September and the playoffs, ultimately making the World Series.  Rockies, Phillies, and this year the Braves?  Could be, as Atlanta has won 14 of 16, and is suddenly the team that no one wants to [...]

Little Half Hour Escape.

Californication debuted on Showtime last night. Well, I don’t get Showtime, for me it premiered on my laptop, but regardless…I watched it. Now in its third season I was a little worried that the show might have lost some of its appeal, the act wears thin. It’s like Entourage. Eventually you get bored with it. [...]

Mark Sanchez…Who Knew?

I’m thinking back to a post I wrote about fantasy football.  It said something about not touching Mark Sanchez.  I think I said I wouldn’t take him if I had the last choice in a 30 team league.  Something witty like that.  Well, while Sanchez isn’t exactly putting up Marino like stats out there, the [...]
