High

October 15, 2007

Congrats to my old teammate Garrett Atkins and the rest of the Rox on their sweep of the D-Backs and the continuation of their ludicrously well-timed hot streak. 21-1 and counting.

Oh Hell

October 1, 2007

Ouch. That was a rather unpleasant ending.
To my Padre friends, my deepest condolences. I can’t imagine the pain of going up 2 in the top of the 13th, bringing in your record-holding closer, and watching him flush 3 runs down the toilet.
All coming in a tiebreaker game that wouldn’t have happened if he [...]

Halos clinch the West

September 28, 2005

The Angels wrapped up the West with a 4-3 win at Oakland tonight. 
Now Mike Scioscia & Co. can take some time to get their lineup/pitching ducks in a row over the last 5 games of the season, and wait until possibly as late as Monday to see who they’re playing–the Yankees, Red Sox, White [...]

Morgan Ensberg: My Hero

September 21, 2005

Morgan Ensberg — USC alumni (and member of the 1998 College World Series-winning team), Phi bro and now, Pennant Race X-Factor:
Houston ranks 13th in the NL in runs scored and its lineup appears downright anemic when Ensberg doesn’t play. The Astros are 20-12 when the 2005 Hank Aaron Award finalist homers and 39-18 when he [...]

July 21, 2005

Even if you’re a Dodger hater, you gotta love Tommy Lasorda.    Check out Tommy’s Tommy’s thoughts on the Phillie Phanatic.
I hate the Phillie Phanatic.
In fact, I am not very happy about mascots in general.  I think they take away from the game on the field.

Jose Canseco: Behind the Crazy

February 8, 2005

Jose Canseco is either totally insane, or he’s spilling some major beans about baseball in his new book.  Or, in all likelihood, it’s a little from Column A and a little from Column B.
Whatever the case, check out some of the gems he drops in his new biography….I’d make jokes about each, but honestly, they [...]
