  • The MLB Season is (Essentially) Over For Me [WMQ]

    It’s not completely over, since I will still watch games in the playoffs and the World Series, but for the teams that I truly care about the season is over. The Rays lost to Texas 4-3 this afternoon, but I’m not gonna mope. Instead I’m gonna talk about what this season meant to me. As […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 3 Oct 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Movies Hesher – When I saw the trailer for this Joseph Gordon-Levitt movie I thought it would be a weird character study. I was pretty much right about that, but it’s simultaneously weirder and crasser than you’d think without really being comedic. Hesher is a truly bizarre character, the likes of which I’ve never seen […]

  • Evan Longoria and An Amazing Night of Baseball [WMQ]

    What an amazing night! Wow, that was fantastic! I was just on the edge of my seat all last night… My evening began with the final Marlins game of the year against the Nats. It was the end of an era, really. The Florida Marlins are technically no more (they’re officially no more on 11 […]

  • The Race Gets Tight! [WMQ]

    In case you not baseball folks don’t know, the Tampa Bay Rays season all boils down to today. At best they go to the playoffs. At worst they stay home. In the middle is a one-game playoff against Boston. Just to break it down further. Best case: Tampa Bay beats the Yankees, Boston loses to […]

  • 2011 Pre-Season Predictions [WMQ]

    Games start at 1300 today, so I’m still pre-season. This is also a much shorter prediction post than years past, but that’s what you’re getting. NL Playoffs: East: Braves Central: Reds West: Giants Wild Card: Dodgers I love Philadelphia’s rotation, but their offense has too many holes. No Utley, no RF, Ibañez is not great, […]

  • June: The Friendly Confines [Fukubukuro 2010]

    Wrigley Field is baseball. No other ballpark I’ve ever been to has exuded quite so much of that je ne sais quoi that makes baseball so great. You know, I think I do know what makes Wrigley so great for baseball. It’s the fact that no matter what year it is, no matter how many […]

  • The 2010 Season in Review [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

  • The 2010 MLB All-Star Game [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    It’s All-Star game time again! This year the game is being played in sunny Southern California, down in Anaheim. Thanks to the peculiarities of baseball scheduling and the east coast focus of television, the game is actually being started in daylight hours, 1700 PST. The liveblogging experience of the year is about to begin yet […]

  • Frustration: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    The Marlins drop a game they should have won in the 9th inning. It’s just disheartening. 15 June NPB Still finishing up interleague make-ups. MLB Washington Nationals (4) at Detroit Tigers (7). John Lannan just does not have a great outing. Can’t do much about that. Washington drops to 31-34 in last. Texas Rangers (3) […]

  • Attendance Drops a Bit: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Pittsburgh debuted some rookies last night too. The Nationals crowd of about 18,000 was not impressed. 10 June NPB Chunichi Dragons (7) at Rakuten Eagles (2). Wei-Yin Chen Tossed six scoreless with five strikeouts as the Dragons got revenge. Rakuten’s record slides to 29-31-1 in fifth. Hiroshima Carp (12) at Chiba Lotte Marines (7). Eric […]
