  • High Level Starcraft II Play [Wednesday Morning Quarterback/GO]

    “WHAT?!” I hear you cry, “StarCraft II isn’t a sport!” Well, it’s got professional players and people make more money doing it than the average Joe, so why not show it a bit since it occupies a lot of my waking time anyway.

  • Stupid Injuries [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    So last night I went to Nationals Park explicitly to see Strasburg face off against Heyward and the Braves. Mere minutes before his start, they announce that Miguel Batista will make the start instead.

  • Boycotting Bad People [FB/BT/WMQ]

The liveblogging experience of the year is about to begin yet […]

  • Tomorrow’s Programming and the Home Run Derby [WMQ]

    It came down to the wire, but my boy Hanley Ramirez couldn’t topple Big Papi, David Ortiz, on the national stage for the Home Run Derby. Now, I don’t really care about the derby, which is why I don’t live blog it, but tomorrow is the MLB All-Star game and you can bet I’ll be […]
