Halladay Derby Heating Up

I admit I am still missing baseball a bit.  I know I’ve heard a few people lament over a similar feeling.  Yes, baseball is a long season, an everyday grind, but there is something comforting in that, isn’t there?  On Tuesday nights like these, you miss the day-to-day activities of the baseball season.  I’m not [...]

Things that Annoy the Bullcorn Out of Me.

Ok, I’m taking the first reader suggestion, and listing things that bother me.  I will not use the term, “pet peeve”, because that term in itself is slightly annoying.  I could probably list a thousand things, but just to get the ball rolling…
1.  People who get into movie franchises.  This Twilight thing drives me crazy.  [...]

Done And Done.

Well, in some ways there was never a doubt, and with Vince Young putting together a serviceable (ugly) game for the Titans I am pleased to award the Derek Anderson for week 11 to Mark Sanchez.  Sanchez beat out Josh Freeman, who avoided the dubious honor by being slightly less like Derek Anderson.  In truth, [...]

Joe Mauer MVP Blurbs.

Catchers don’t generally win batting titles, and they almost never win MVPs.  Why?  Well, go sit in a crouch for about 30 seconds.  Then think of doing it for a couple hours and multiply that by about 140.  Joe Mauer is proving to be an exception to most catchers the league has seen, and his [...]

Tom Williams Goes Rogue (Belichick).

Tom Williams has heard enough about Bill Belichick.  He scoffs at Andy Reid.  Amateurs.  You want someone to tank a game, you get Tom Williams on the horn.  I don’t know what is more amazing.  The decision, or the quotes after the game.  First, what happened:
Well, Yale and Harvard were locked in an epic Ivy [...]

A Reminder That Soccer is Annoying.

This picture isn’t really the point I’m going to try to get across, but I thought it was kind of funny.  I don’t think Soccer players are weak, or carry handbags while they play.  Big holiday week this week.  Amateur Night, Thanksgiving, all the big ones.  Not sure what impact that is going to have [...]

Video Game Stats.

Back when Dreamcast came out I created a tight end on NFL 2K who I dubbed Big Hoss.  Hoss was about seven feet tall, and ran like a deer.  He was tough to handle running down the seam.  Anyway, I threw to him about every play.  Kind of like what Tom Brady does with Wes [...]

NFL Picks Week 11.

Welcome, welcome everyone.  Exciting times here at NFL Pick ‘Em.  We’re going to debut a new prognosticator this week.  He was apparently inspired by the work of Mr. Kraft, who really does bring handicapping games to the masses.  I suppose it would only be appropriate to lead off with the new guy.  It is none [...]

Breakfast Anecdote.

The moral of this anecdote is you should always know what you are drinking.  Well, let me revise that.  The moral of this anecdote is, if you do not know what you are drinking you should be prepared for anything.  The following anecdote took place on a glorious Wednesday evening into Thursday sometime around the [...]

Brad Lidge was Robbed.

 
What has become of baseball if you can’t blow 11 saves, compile a silky smooth 7+ ERA, and get some Cy Young consideration.  Brad Lidge  received no votes.  I demand a recount.  Not really, I just wanted to take one more parting shot at Lidge before we forget about him for a while.  Tim Lincecum [...]
