8… [WMQ]
We are now at eight straight losses, seven of which were by one run. Two straight sweeps. I can’t deal with this right now.

Will It Never End?! [WMQ]
The Marlins have dropped seven straight games, dropping them five games behind the Phillies and now two behind the Atlanta Braves and it’s been agony to experience. Losing Josh Johnson was a problem, but we’ve even had great pitching performances from our starters (including one of his replacements) that the Fish have botched. The loss […]

What I’m Watching [IB/FB/WMQ]
Movies Source Code – Some defect in the genetic composition of my brothers has caused them to write off this movie as garbage. I assure everyone reading that the numbers obtained by Rotten Tomatoes assuring the public that 90% of movie reviewers liked this movie are worth listening to.

Fall [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It seems that fall is rapidly approaching, despite my fiendish plot to seize control of the planet’s weather with my mind. With the change in the climate comes a change in sports programming. Back for two weeks is college football while the NFL opener was played over the past few days as well. Baseball no […]

Sacrifice [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
My friends have been talking about sacrifice and I’m feeling out of the loop. Today I’m gonna talk about sacrifice too. The sacrifice hit and the sacrifice bunt. These two stats are among my favorite because they represent something rarely seen in modern American baseball today: small ball. Today’s MLB player is much more concerned […]
