Mea Culpa
If you have any concept of time, you might have noticed that it’s been a while. (And by a while, I mean an unforgivably long time.) I sincerely apologize for having neglected my duties. All I can say by way of explanation is that life went and got a little hairy on me for a [...]
Curt Schilling: Not A Joke
With the Yanks on an unstoppable tear, and the Chowdas locked into a fairly close battle with the Rangers, Curt Schilling asks us to contemplate things unrelated to baseball. Namely, his future in politics. Several days ago, Schilling posted the transcript from his interview on the Dennis & Callahan Show onto his blog 38 Pitches. [...]
Back And Badder Than Ever
I just want to give a tip of the hat to former Bomber Aaron Boone who’s been activated off the Houston Astros DL a mere five months after undergoing open-heart surgery. It was unclear that Boon would ever play ball again, let alone this season after his operation this past March for a congenital defect [...]
The Boss, The Myth, The Legend
At long last, the time has come. Yankees fans are finally going to get their long overdue ninety minutes in the sun with George Steinbrenner. Tomorrow night, the YES Network will be airing a special on the Boss. And it’s a special, which according to YES president of production and programming, John Filipelli, “needed to [...]
Strategy Shmategy
Call me old-fashioned, but I like a starter who can go for six, even seven innings. Gone, of course, are the days when it wasn’t considered a crazy feat of superhuman strength to pitch a complete game. That all ended when we started paying our pitchers enough to consider them worth “protecting.” But, still, I [...]
An Orgy Of Victory
In this weekend’s series against the Chowdas, the Bombers — with their 6 1/2 game edge — have the opportunity to effectively secure the division and dash any real hopes the Sawx might have of catching our lead. Or, as an alternative, in the words of George King, “They can allow the Red Sox to [...]
Great For Football
Well, it’s official. Brett Fav-ruh is a Minnesota Viking. And cheeseheads everywhere are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. In the less than 48 hours since the announcement, fan forums and comments sections have been filled with the vitriolic rants of Packers fans who insist that Fav-ruh is nothing more than [...]
Philadelphia — Staying Classy
In 2008, the Texas Rangers served as an unofficial home for the wayward ballplayer, providing refuge for some of baseball’s most undesirable types – the crackheads, the ones with anger management issues. Apparently, Donovan McNabb’s utopian vision for the Eagles would have them employing the ideology of the Rangers of ’08 when building their team [...]
Bicoastal Fascism
In response to my recent post about the fascist regime at the new Yankee Stadium, I received the following e-mail from guest blogger and friend Chris Yamaoka. It’s a real gem, so I thought I’d post it for you: I have a question for you. At the new, super fancy, super posh Yankee Stadium, when [...]
Talkin’ Basebrawl
It is a truth universally acknowledged (by readers of this blog) that Kevin Youkilis has some truly disturbing facial hair. More than his OBP, I would argue that it’s the facial hair that constitutes Youkilis’ most notable feature. While I’ve always considered this particular facial hair to be indicative of a black and nefarious soul, [...]
