Yeah that’s a bit of a stretch, but I’m feeling limber.
Tomorrow night, 7pm Pacific time, the Cubs-Diamondbacks series begins. I will be watching. I will be wearing my Cubs hat. I may even be at a Chicago-fans bar (though I may not). The problem for me arises at 8pm. I have book club. And I’ve […]
So comes to a close the end of the 2007 baseball regular season. And what a way to go too - if you want to see an example of an amazing game, see last night’s Padres-Rockies play-in game. Wow. It was one of the most exciting games I’ve ever seen. So lets take a look […]
Season isn’t over, but let’s revisit my baseball picks for this year.
AL West: Angels
Got that right.
AL Central: Twins
Not so much. I did hedge for the Tigers…but it looks like they’re not gonna make it either.
AL East: Yankees
Missed this….just had it flipped since I said-
AL Wild Card: Red Sox
Yep.
NL West: Diamondbacks
They’re in a dogfight, but they’re […]

Wins, Losses and Saves are possibly the most arbitrary statistics in all of baseball. At times, wins are given to pitchers who had poor games, but were saved by their offense driving in high amounts of runs. Other times, pitchers throw gems, only to be penalized by their offense’s poor output. And saves are […]
I noticed in my logs that someone was searching my site for VORP. I think perhaps you were looking for this page.
Twice this year now. A little while ago I talked about the problems in baseball with alcohol, the most recent offender being Tony LaRussa. I called for harsher penalties. I pointed out the idiocy of forgiving LaRussa just because “no one got hurt.” Well, now someone got hurt. Someone is dead. And guess who his […]
So that I don’t look like a johnny-come-lately, I suppose I should go on record with some baseball picks. We can look back at this in September and laugh.
American League

National League

Yep, Opening Day is just around the corner. It is the true first day of spring. And once again my veins are filled with the promise of baseball. I bleed blue, not the pale, washed out Dodger Blue of this town, but the deep, rich and vibrant Cubbie Blue. And I see the world through […]
There are some pretty good reasons I’m not a journalist. Which worked out OK this time, since Keith Law at ESPN.com said what I’ve been thinking, probably better than I could.
Let’s say I went out onto the street with a loaded gun and just started firing randomly. Would it be OK? What if I emptied […]
