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 […]

What I’ve Been Doing 26 Sept 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
It’s fitting that I watched a movie about baseball considering how much baseball I also watched this weekend. Had to watch to support the Rays. They’ve got three games to make up a one game deficit. You can do it, Tampa Bay! Movies Moneyball – Not too bad at all. We’re not talking “the best […]

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. The “thinking man’s action blockbuster” seems […]

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, […]

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 […]
