It’s time that the little Napoleonic portion of my brain comes out to play a bit. Why? I’ve heard enough nonsense from the talking heads on television. If there is going to be absolute nonsense, then it might as well come from me, and it might as well be at least somewhat amusing. UNTRUTHS: The […]

SOMETHING ABOUT MURRAY! I’m of that age that when I think of a loud jackass, a bad accent, and an exotic locale, I automatically think of Shrek. Now when I think of inference journalism, Mexican Donkey Shows, and a loud jackass, I think of Murray Chass. At least I think I might be thinking […]

I’m usually hesistant to predict individual awards, because there is about a 20% chance of getting any of them correct, and I’m all about hitting the 1/4 mark.

That’s right, just keep “Standing for Stan” until directed otherwise. Ignore the protestations of the naysayers, especially the ones named Murray Chass.

After the journalistic fodder that rolled off the “presses” yesterday with Morosi’s face at the top, I’m utterly convinced that you simply need an advanced Mad Lib pad specifically designed for baseball to be a scribe with troll-like status. Go ahead and give […]

A lot has indeed changed since November when I predicted an NL Central finish like this one: Cardinals Reds Astros Cubs Brewers Pirates Now I’ve revised my list to this: Brewers Cardinals Reds Cubs Astros Pirates Why? Adam Wainwright went under the knife Shaun Marcum’s velocity isn’t what it’s supposed to be right now Cueto […]

Give me just one good reason to not pick the Phillies, and I wouldn’t pick the Phillies here. The Braves could push the Phillies, but the Phillies still have a margin for error that no other team in the division has. They also have nearly twice the payroll that the Braves have, so we’re not […]

BENCHES CLEAR AND NATIONALS CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTS Oh, the horror of it all… Naturally, the benches cleared during a spring training game between the Cardinals and the Nationals, and the game wasn’t televised. Fortunately, an observant fan with a Kodak Disc camera and developing equipment in his basement managed to capture a shot of the Nationals […]
