No Intervention Needed…

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Hi, My name is T.H. and I’m a bandwagon jumper. The first time I remember jumping on a bandwagon was in first grade, when I agreed with my classmates that Emergency! was the best show in the world. I had never watched the Randolph Mantooth drama at that point, as it was on past my [...]

Sox, postseason and some initial thoughts to rip into…

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

… Lowell: I feel like Theo made a good-faith offer; while lowballing Lowell to some extent, word in the air was that he’d take a hometown discount… can’t blame him for testing the waters. Money is money. Posada is locked in and, oddly, Rivera isn’t. You’ll all think I’m eating cannabis for lunch, but I’ll [...]

Adding some New England charm

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

While I hate to admit it, it seems like Boston is the center of the sports world nowadays, and probably for the foreseeable future. So, to that end, Vigilante Sports is proud to bring into the fold, the Beast from the East, T.H. Murray. He will be bringing us his Bostonian perspective on sports in [...]

Cubs hot stove action

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Jacque Jones and Craig Monroe are gone. Daryle Ward is coming back. The Cubs pick up Omar Infante in a trade with the Tigers for Jacque Jones. This is a good move. Jacque Jones contributed some key hits over a stretch this summer. But, since the Cubs brought him in, he’s been a disappointment. He’s [...]

Michigan vs. Michigan State Recap

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

A tale of two halves. In the first half, Michigan State repeatedly shot itself in the foot with penalties, and Michigan absolutely shut down the Spartan rushing attack. In the second half, Michigan couldn’t move the ball on offense and got run over by Javon Ringer, and Jehuu Caulcrick. Chad Henne rallied the troops and [...]

CBS redesigns Sportsline.com

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Popular sports site Sportsline.com (the site for CBS Sports) was different today when I pointed my browser there. They redesigned. This is not the first time they’ve done so in the last couple of months. They moved away from the 1998 look a couple months ago towards something a bit more refined. Some gradients and [...]

Michigan vs. Michigan State Preview

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

The Wolverines have ripped off 7 straight wins as they head into East Lansing this weekend to take on instate rival Michigan State. The Spartans are in the perpetual rebuilding process and have first year coach Mike Dantoni at the helm. Michigan comes in still a little dinged up. Chad Henne and Mike Hart both [...]

SEC Preview – Week 8 – Florida vs. Georgia

Friday, October 26th, 2007

“The world’s largest outdoor cocktail party” and my SEC game of the week. This annual match up is played in Jacksonville at a “neutral” site. This is not really a neutral site as the Heisman hopeful quarterback of Florida, Tim Tebow, is from a Jacksonville native. Tebow will be wearing a target on his sore [...]

SEC Preview – Week 8 – South Carolina vs. Tennessee

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Ask the Georgia Bulldogs about playing in Neyland Stadium, it is no picnic. After getting beaten at home by Vanderbilt last week, the Gamecocks go to Knoxville to face a reborn Tennessee Volunteer team. Erik Ainge is back after his finger injury and is throwing the ball well, the defense of Tennessee is as nasty [...]

SEC Preview – Week 8 – Mississippi vs. Auburn

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Ed Orgeron will have Mississippi ready to face the Auburn Tigers on Saturday. Tommy Tuberville’s Tigers had a shot to beat LSU last week and let it slip away, so I expect a very fired up team to show up for Auburn. I think it will take a solid effort on their part to beat [...]
