    Another season is now behind us and the playoffs begin this afternoon at 1330 EST in Tampa Bay. How did I do in my projections? Who do I predict for the World Series? Let’s check it out! AL East My guess: Yankees Rays Red Sox Orioles Blue Jays Actual Results: Rays Yankees Red Sox Blue […]

  • Three Sweeps and a Disappointing Win [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Just like that we’re fully back to our regularly scheduled programming. I’ve gotta say, I missed this, but I’m also glad that I wasn’t here to write about Tampa Bay’s 11-game losing streak or the elimination of both Florida teams from playoff contention. You were […]

  • Grand Slam: And We Have a Winner! LCS Day 7

    Well, they’ve done it for the first time since 1993. The Phils have won the NL pennant. Their victory came at the expense of sloppy play by Rafael Furcal and the Dodgers in general. In the end, it didn’t matter that Manny Ramirez was batting .500 coming into the last game. It didn’t matter that […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: LCS Day 6

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. 13-4. I don’t think anyone expected that at all. Tim Wakefield used to be dominant against the […]

  • Grand Slam: LCS Day 5

    It’s been a wild few games in the League Championship Series as Tampa moves ahead 2-1 and the Phillies come back in a ridiculous game to bring their series to 3-1. After suffering from a mini-slump, it seems that Evan Longoria is definitely back. He’s homered in both of the last two games helping to […]

  • Grand Slam: The LCS Day 2

    I skipped a day, but we’re here: The League Championship Series. Even though we’ve already had two days of competition, the ALCS has only played one game while the Phillies and Dodgers are two into the NLCS. Philadelphia finds itself two games ahead after winning 8-5 last night and 3-2 on Thursday. I must admit, […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: The League Championship Series

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. So it seems that I was half wrong about at least the NLCS, since the Cubs managed […]

  • Grand Slam: Day 6 – Onwards to the LCS!

    We’ve finally reached the resolution of the ALDS series with victories by both Boston and Tampa Bay. As me move toward the ALCS and NLCS, the ability to predict the outcome becomes way less possible. Take the Phillies and Dodgers series: The Dodgers steamrolled the Cubs where no one expected them to to get them […]

  • Grand Slam: Day 5 and Still Not Done?

    I really thought by this point we’d be completely done with the Division Series games, but now we’ve still got another day, at the very least, for the ALDS series. Philadelphia finally turned in its win and gave us what we expected. They beat the Brew Crew 6-2 and now don’t have any games until […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: End of the MLB Regular Season

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. It took 163 games, but as of today we officially have our eight teams set for the […]
