It’s League Championship Series time and, boy, did I get it wrong. Before the divisional series started I thought Minnesota, Tampa, Philadelphia and San Francisco would all go through. Well, I got half of it right. I though the Giants had too much pitching for the Braves and the same went for Philadelphia against the [...]

Joba Walks
Posted: August 27, 2010 by The Bearded Guy in BaseballTags: DUI, ESPN, Joba Chamberlain, New York, Rick Reilly, Yankees
Recently ESPN’s Rick Reilly did a story about a blind Yankees’ a fan named Jane who walks to approximately 30 games a year on a trip that takes her 2 and half hours. The story reminds me of some of real good stuff when he was on the back page of SI, a moving piece [...]
Guy Who (Sort Of) Works For ESPN Rips ESPN For Not Acting Like ESPN
Posted: July 26, 2010 by The Mark in NBA Basketball, NCAA Football, Random Shit, TelevisonTags: 6-3-1, Adam James, Bad Boys, Bosh, Clippers, Craig James, Don Ohlmeyer, ESPN, Heat, Jim Gray, Kobe, Larry Bird, LBJ, Lebron, LeBron James, Magic, McGwire, Michael Jordan, Mike Leach, MLB, NBA, Ombudsman, Selig, Sosa, South Beach, Stephen A Smith, Steroids, The Decision, Wade, World Cup
LeBron James’ ill conceived “The Decison” happened on July 8th but the bad taste it left in everyone’s mouth is still here. To be honest, I am not an LBJ fan and couldn’t care less where he decided to go unless it was to my beloved Clippers. If that had happened, he would have automatically [...]
Baseball Is Just Fine The Way It Is

Yes, Armando Galarraga got jobbed out of a perfect game. No, that doesn’t mean baseball needs to start thinking about installing instant replay for every single play. The worst thing MLB could do is have instant replay. It would be a knee-jerk reaction that would damage the game that hasn’t quite recovered from labor strife [...]

I know, I’ve been a terrible prognosticator but I’m not giving up. I’ve gambled for far too long to step away just because I’ve been a Mush for a few weeks. Things will turn around. If not, who cares, I’ll be in Hong Kong for a week so I could give a shit. Before I get [...]
Early Doucet Celebrates By Taking A Trip To The Gun Show

Thanks Arizona, for saving us from what would eventually have been an insufferable Green Bay – Minnesota matchup. You just know the worldwide leader would’ve covered this game like it was the Super Bowl and as if no other games were being played. Now if Dallas can do it’s part and knock out the Vikings, I [...]
