If you’re like me, waiting until the last minute either to decide you’re going to go to a game – or in my case, waiting to find out whether you’ll even be in town to be ABLE to go to the game – tickets in a location that you would like to sit can sometimes […]

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 […]

Activate the PH8 signal! Many of you know, some of you don’t, that SABR is not just a bunch of folks sitting around coming up with new-fangled statistics meant to irritate Murray Chass.

SHOE ATTACKS MAN IN MOUTH. SHOE WINS 5-0 IN STUNNING ROUT! Man goes 0-5 with 4 strikeouts against shoe. I love a good mea culpa as much as the next guy, and I’d really like to believe Gomes is sincere with his Deion Sanders impression of a high-speed backpedal. The only problem I’ve got with the whole […]

I know, I know – that’s happened a lot more often than just two years ago… *rimshot* Two years ago is when some motivated individual stomped out the words “CUBS SUCK” in the snow at the Ballpark Village site. Click below and remember the good times, pre-softball field. [ Ballpark Village Says Cubs Suck ]

If you saw yesterday’s Daily Pujols, you probably got the drift that Brian Boyd’s piece at The University News didn’t go over well. Well, naturally, Dennis and I spent some time discussing it and what it meant to Albert Pujols and what it meant to fans of Pujols. Snark, sarcasm, and dry wit. All fair […]
