Astros 7, Padres 2; Look, between my two bloggy spaces and the water cooler at work I have probably talked about Manny Ramirez more than anyone in the past couple of weeks. And I’ll admit, my reasons for bringing him up are often tenuous at best. But nothing I’ve written about the guy is as […]

Things I wrote while trying to decide whether it would worse to be a lawyer handling the Michael Jackson estate or a lawyer having to tell this woman’s family that, no, there probably isn’t a viable products liability lawsuit coming out of this. Wait, that’s crazy. Guys will be lining up to file that lawsuit, […]

A pinch is a device which creates, like, a cardiac arrest for any broadband electrical circuitry. Better yet, a pinch is a bomb – now, but without the bomb.

Without realizing it, however, I posted pictures of two mulleted pitchers today, and made specific mention of Tommy Hanson’s mullet yesterday (I had a pic of […]

In terms of posts it was a slow morning, but the morning itself was anything but slow. In the wake of that alleged list of the 2003 steroid test positives, I put on my reporter hat and actually called sources and cross checked and wrote stuff down and everything. That’s hard work! Someone please remind […]

White Sox 6, Indians 3: Nice Indians’ debut for Chris Perez: He hit the first two batters he faced, walked the bases loaded and then gave up a fielder’s choice, an RBI double, a wild pitch and run-scoring single. One of the guys he hit — Alexei Ramirez — took it in the head and […]
