I’m Out.

That’s not true.  I mean, that picture is totally doctored, and is that a girl?  I can’t even tell.  I had better hair.  I know that.  So, the news has been leaking out.  It is my birthday today.  In lieu of gifts please make a donation to the Human Fund.  But, seriously, it’s no big [...]

NFL Picks Week 8.

Welcome, welcome.  Well, we all know that I’m a sucker for a good theme, more than good picks, so on this lovely week 8, let’s start with Mr. Kraft.  If you haven’t been betting against Kraft this year, well, you’ve missed the boat.  Without further ado:
KRAFT: Record 13-22 (Last Week 2-3).
I’ll get my picks in [...]

Yanks Bounce Back.

Game two wasn’t all that different from game one, just the other team came out on top as the Yankees evened the series with a 3-1 victory.  It was another night of good starting pitching.  In this case, A.J. Burnett was better than Pedro Martinez, and the Yankees were the team that knocked a couple [...]

If it Wasn’t for the World Series…

Game Two of the World Series tonight, and honestly, it needs no build-up.  Not only that, I have no idea what is going to happen, and I’m man enough to admit it.  So, just watch everything unfold, but as the weekend sneaks up on us, perhaps we should talk about the “Game That Lost its [...]

What Makes A Great Burger?

Too much baseball talk, right?  Who cares.  Let’s do burgers.  I’ve been thinking a lot about burgers lately.  What’s that stat?  Guys think about burgers every 8 seconds or whatever?  I think that’s what it is.  So, a burger is one of those foods that is never necessarily awful.  It’s not rocket science, but at [...]

Every Little Thing He Does is Magic.

So, it was best case scenario for Phillies fans in game one.  Cliff Lee out pitched C.C. Sabathia, and the Phillies earned a relatively stress free 6-1 victory.  Things seemed to fall into place for the Phillies at every turn, but that was mostly the work of Lee who showed the poise of an assassin.  [...]

Thanks Cleveland!

Nice try Andre Agassi.  Trying to make me think about writing some tennis.  I think not.  You’re going to have to better than some meth.  I’m desensitized.   Meth?  Whatever, might as well say you had an extra espresso before each match.  Not buying your book.  Unless the pictures are like super sweet. 
Nope, it’s game one of [...]

What Happened To Good Announcing?

For me, baseball highlights the broadcasters.  It’s a pace of the game thing.  There’s a lot more down time compared to…say H0ckey.  Excitement has to built up to, and measured.  The game can often unfold like a story…all that flowerly bleep.   It’s not an easy thing to do, broadcast a baseball game, and that is [...]

Shaq Puts up Geiger-esque Numbers.

Word on the street is the NBA started tonight.  Makes sense.  Tuesdays just don’t pop without the NBA.  I didn’t plan on mentioning the NBA, but the Flyers are annoying the hell out of me right now, and then I got a look at Shaq’s monster stat-line so I had to say something.  Ten and Ten [...]

Seven Games for the World.

This has happened before.  This Phillies/Yankees thing.  Back in 1950 the “Whiz Kids” were sweep by the Yankees in the World Series.  Unlucky.  It only took about 60 years for it to come back full circle.  I mean, the Yankees didn’t really hold up their end of the bargain.  The Phils were in 4 World Series [...]
