And they weren’t even Red Sox fans. Well, there were a bunch of those too. But I’d like to concentrate on the group of high school dopes that were sitting behind my wife and I as we took in the rubber game of the Red Sox series on Wednesday.
This guy was screaming so loudly that [...]

Annoying Fans at the Mariners game
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Bulls Joakim Noah arrested for possession
Monday, May 26th, 2008Apparently Joakim and his Gator buddies are still celebrating their National Championships, except now, Joakim, everyone knows about. The guy who has done nothing but disappoint and piss off his teammates will apparently now have to deal with some legal issues due to his arrest for having a open alcohol container and possession of marijuana.
Now [...]
Cubs should always be looking to improve
Friday, May 16th, 2008Let me give you a guy’s career numbers and you tell me if you want this guy.

One year left on his contract
will cost you over $10 million a year (with new contract probably more than [...]
Jim Edmonds debuts as a Cub
Friday, May 16th, 2008Tribune Photo by Phil Velasquez
My dislike for Jim Edmonds continues. So does Carlos Zambrano’s, but he definitely is putting on a nice face. Me, I’m less inclined to be excited about a 38 year old centerfielder who has had diminishing skills for the last 3 years, and was batting .178 in San Diego before he [...]
A few interesting facts about George Sherrill, Erik Bedard and the Mariners
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008George Sherrill is 1-0 with 15 saves and an ERA of 3.79
Erik Bedard has started 6 games, with a 2-2 record and a 3.48 ERA.
The Mariners have 16 wins.
If the trade is straight up, with those numbers, I’m not even sure that I pull the trigger. I want my money back. Or at least Adam [...]
Just say no to Jim Edmonds
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008So there are rumors flying around that the Cubs will sign recently-released centerfielder Jim Edmonds. Please don’t… please no. Edmonds is one of my least favorite baseball players of all time. Perhaps it’s because he was a Cub-killer when we was with the St. Louis, or maybe because he just seems like a smug punk.
The [...]
The pink bats of Mother’s Day baseball
Sunday, May 11th, 2008Another Mother’s Day and more pink bats. I love the tradition that MLB and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure started two years ago to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research and awareness. On this Mother’s Day, I also wanted to send love out to my Mom. I love you, thanks for [...]
Lieber gets rocked instead of Hill
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008So tell me again why Rich Hill was pulled from the rotation? I know that he’s been pounded this year, but I think I’d rather have him in the rotation and take his lumps and save Jon Lieber in the bullpen. He’s been successful in that role all season.
Lou, get Rich Hill back in the [...]
The Bears should cut drunk, disorderly and bad Cedric Benson
Sunday, May 4th, 2008CBSSports.com reports:
Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson failed a sobriety test while operating a 30-foot boat, then resisted arrest before being hit with pepper spray and dragged ashore by officers.
Cut him. Cut him now. Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith should cut their losses on this guy. He’s only been trouble since the Bears drafted him [...]
My, Oh My! Richie Sexson hits 100th homer with the Mariners
Friday, May 2nd, 2008For all of the crap that Richie Sexson gets here in Seattle, Thursday’s home run was his sixth of the season and 100th since becoming a Mariner. Richie hit the century mark in 463 games, that’s the fastest in team history. Alex Rodriguez reached 100 Mariner home runs in 470 games. I am a huge [...]
