You just knew it, didn’t you? When the Kentucky-Fried jackass tried to throw the ball into the stands instead of third base, giving Tampa Bay …
I dig the long ball. Love those 10-0 blow-outs where the offense is all keyed up like Caine in Kung Fu, splintering stadium walls and …
1. First things first: David Wells squaring off against the best-hitting team in baseball. Coming in, I will admit, I wasn’t feeling the love. In …
Worried yet? These are the type of losses that haunt me. An outstanding start from Arroyo, a couple of big homeruns against a former Cy …

First, as I type this, Survivor’s Greatest Hits is playing in the background. Amazingly, it contains 11 songs. All of them performed by Survivor. Go …
Friendly Fenway, now being touted as “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark”, did not live up to either nickname last night. Anytime you have Red Sox-Yankees, the …
So we take a gulp, to the tune of 5-2. The offense couldn’t deliver the knock-out slap when Jaret Wright was on the ropes, and …
Sunshine, blue skies, banners, old-time players, flyovers, championship rings, old friends back in the park, the trophy. Monday was indeed a great day. Throw in …
Admit it. You thought this had the markings of World War III. Our hated rivals in the house for the first time since the ALCS. …

I can’t wait for Sunday night. And in many ways, I have a hard time believing a new season is upon us. I’m still riding …
Certain things I’ve come to accept. I can’t tan. Jennifer Garner won’t be returning my calls. And, as has been the case every year since …

It’s Monday morning. A couple deadlines will come to a screeching halt on my desk in a couple hours. My gut aches from too much …
We know how you feel. Sitting around, munching Ramen Noodles and staring at your wife’s horrifically oversized ass while programs like Entertainment Tonight and Extra …
While searching for a goofy picture to post for Easter, the magic that is Google led me to this. There is so much history to …
