Tigers 7, Twins 2: I’ve seen a lot of “well, whaddaya expect, Pavano sucks” comments floating around the internet since last night’s loss, but it’s all from New York people who can’t get his time in Gotham out of their heads. Sure, he got knocked around last night, but before that he had owned the […]

I’ve been swamped with work (and about 80 comments I have yet to read for that Jeter thing), so it may just be some quicker hits today. Here’s a quick one: The Indians are in the early stages of what general manager Mark Shapiro referred to as a “reloading” period, and the reload will extend […]

People here have suspected that I take a perverse, masochistic pleasure in baiting Yankee and Red Sox fanboys over at NBC. Well, you’re absolutely, 100% right about that. Someone give me a heads up when the intervention is going to be held. It’s a busy week for me.

Twins 3, Tigers 2; Tigers 6, Twins 5: Porcello and Blackburn were each tough in game one, but Verlander wasn’t matched by Duensing in Game 2, putting his team in a 5-0 hole. A seriously long day for these two teams, and despite all of the drama, now they’re back (back) where they started, here […]

I got a threshold, here. I got a threshold for the bad karma my team can experience. Now, right now, I’m a race car, right, and the Rockies got me in the red. And I’m just sayin’, I’m just sayin’ that it’s dangerous to have a race car in the red. That’s all. I could […]

For anyone who cares, I will be watching the final episode of Season 2 of “The Wire” tonight (I just watched Frank Sobotka walk towards the Greeks waiting for him under the bridge so I’m pretty sure I know what’s going to happen there, but please, no spoilers for the finale). One question, though: How […]

Angels 11, Rangers 0: The Angels clinch the West, and in a fit of wrongheadedness so comically tragic that it strains credulity, they soak the jersey of a victim of a fatal drunk driving accident with beer and champagne in celebration (photo here). Here’s hoping that someone in Angels’ management was passing out cab vouchers […]

The USA Today has a story about just how gosh darn nice the new ballpark in Minnesota is shaping up to be. And I’m sure it will be great. But you can never tell how things are truly going to play. With that in mind, I went searching for an article — any article — […]

Time Magazine named The Huffington Post one of the best blogs of 2009 and it was recently ranked “the most powerful blog in the world.” I’m assuming it’s not for its sports coverage.

If you can get past the media/ad-speak, you’ll hear a tale of big market success making for some very happy television networks: Boasting a murderers’ row of big-market clubs–along with the Yankees and a pair of Los Angeles-area contenders, no less than six of the playoff-bound MLB franchises represent top 10 DMAs–the promise of a […]
