I didn’t get a chance to post my “And That Happened” recaps this morning, but I’ll offer some quick hits regarding last night’s games: Andruw Jones went crazy against the Angels last night, hitting three homers. Which is the same number of homers he hit all last year. And which, for the season, puts him […]

Sorry folks, park’s closed. Moose out front shoulda told ya. OK, not really. But I don’t have any recaps this morning for various and sundry reasons. I will be a-bloggin’ as usual today, however, so if anything particularly daffy came up during last night’s games I’m sure to be on it eventually. Once again, sorry. […]

Things to read when you realize just how rough it is out there in the big, big world: New Yorkers fail to bring the hate. He said-he said re: the Jeter tag. Kenny Williams is miffed that White Sox fans wouldn’t overpay to watch the Dodgers when they were in town. Stan Conte will have […]

Dodgers 8, Mets 0: Somewhere on Long Island there’s a guy who went to last night’s game for the express purpose of booing Manny and holding up a sign with a syringe on it or something. And, yes, Manny was booed and was even ejected from the game for arguing balls and strikes! Dude from […]

Happy San Fermin, everyone. When you get done having fun, read some of this stuff: Ryan Braun to be Doug Melivn’s deputy? I’m not going to judge Manny for doing steroids. I will judge him, however, for being a cheap sonofabitch. Roy Halladay isn’t going anywhere. “The Worst Team That Money Could Buy” could soon […]

Phillies 22, Reds 1. I’m not sure what’s more impressive: the Phillies’ offensive outburst, or that it was all said and done in 2:53. The only downside of this for Philadelphia is that it will skew Cole Hamels’ run support numbers, thereby making his season look a little worse than it actually is. I’m guessing […]

Joe Mauer gets his due.

Great Moments in my day job: This morning I was sued (in my official capacity) by a violent inmate currently serving life in a New York prison. He’s trying to get transferred to an Ohio prison, and keeps suing public officials in order to accomplish his goal. I represent public officials in Ohio, so I […]

Phillies 2, Mets 0: Blanton beats Santana, yadda, yadda, yadda. I want to use this entry to make my first observation of the All-Star season. Fact: Charlie Manuel manages the NL team this year. Fact: he has an All-Star roster with too many first basemen and nary a legitimate centerfielder to be found, among other […]

No work today, so I blogged from home. It’s nice, though I’m not sure if it’s less stressful than blogging from the office or not. On the one hand, I don’t have to shower, shave, drive anywhere, answer the phone or work around meetings and stuff. On the other hand, in many important ways its […]
