No, draft picks are not overpaid.

I was not a happy camper last week due to work and little blogging and all of that. Today still kind of sucks, but I’m basically out of the woods now. Some legal work and a corned beef sandwich is in my immediate future this afternoon, but in the meantime, have a nosh of this: […]

Phillies 9, Mets 7: Unassisted triple plays are cool and all, but they’re really more about luck than anything else, aren’t they? You hit the ball to just the wrong place at just the wrong time and bam-bam-bam it’s over. Oftentimes the middle infielder who turns the thing isn’t even 100% sure he’s done it […]

Tigers 7, Mariners 6: A game-winning RBI single for Clete Thomas in the ninth got Jarrod Washburn off the hook after yet another dismal post-trade performance. Thomas had hit a walk-off homer earlier this season, and after game said this: “It’s not as good as the homer, but any walk-off is awesome.” Yeah, just ask […]

Sorry, but once again the legal world is dominating my day. I wish I could say today will be the last day of this, but tomorrow looks pretty ugly too. There are some CTB posts up (drafted early this morning before the law got hold of me), but that’s likely it for the day. There […]

Braves 15, Mets 2: Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in the second inning after five runs had already scored. And guess what: THE BRAVES DIDN’T SCORE ANOTHER RUN IN THAT INNING AFTER THE HOMER. They’re rally-killers, dude. Avoid the home run at all costs. Bright side for Mets fans: Bobby Parnell didn’t get near […]

TUCK! toons right here, every Thursday

Sorry so quiet today, but I’ve been buried in legal work, and will continue to be for the next hour or two. I’m hoping to get a few things up yet this afternoon, but I can’t make any promises. In the meantime, I wrote six things over at CTB this morning, and they’re at lease […]

Marlins 6, Astros 2: Two teams that, one day, we’ll all sit around and say “yeah, I totally forgot that Pudge played for those guys.” Stellar game for Ricky Nolasco (CG, 3 H, 2 ER, 10K). Three more hits for Hanley. Mets 9, Braves 4: Derek Lowe’s worst outing of the season (3.2 IP, 11 […]

Sorry I’m late with this today. I don’t what has gotten into the people in my office, what with their demands and everything. I mean, don’t they know I’m a government employee? Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Star . . . I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s […]
