Why did they play 162 games?

It's Red Sox-Yankees in the American League and Cardinals-Astros in the National. The two teams that everyone thought would make it in the AL are in. And the NL Central produced the two best teams in the NL, just as everyone said that it would. The only exception being the Cardinals in place of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Dodger Dogs for Everyone!

Well, the Boys in Blue pulled it out in dramatic fashion on Saturday. Steve Finley, the only good player that they got out of all of that wheeling and dealing, hit a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to give Lasorda's Heroes a 7-3 win, capping a seven run final inning. Now it's off to play the... Sign in to see full entry.

Damn, Roy!

Roy Jones, Jr. got knocked the f*** out, again. And this one was worse then the one before. My nephew told me that he still hasn't awakened. In fact, he said that the funeral is Thursday. Funeral or no funeral, Roy Jones' career is all but dead. The lottery tickets are no longer Roy and Oscar. The... Sign in to see full entry.

The Noose tightens

Forget about Yankees-Red Sox. This fan's focus is entirely on Dodgers-Giants. For the past two months, I have sat here and watched the Dodgers lead slowly dwindle from seven games to a game and a half. Since football season started, I have not kept up with the entire pennant race, but I know that... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling The Heat!

Shawn Green saves the day! His homer in the top of the ninth with two outs and a man on gives the Dodgers a 7-6 win over the Rockies and keeps them 2 1/2 games ahead of the Giants and "Mr. 700" Barry Bonds. As a Dodger fan, I have been feeling the heat since the July trading deadline. The Dodgers... Sign in to see full entry.

Message to New York Yankees

Shut up, already! So the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were delayed in their trip to Yankee Stadium and you had to postpone one game of a double header. It's not like they wanted to stay home and worry about the damages from a hurricane. So what's all of this talk about asking the league for a forfiet. As... Sign in to see full entry.

Greeks, Trojans, and Hillbillies?

Well, the Olympic games are over. I watched a good bit of it, but I'm only into it for the basketball and track and field. Starting with basketball, I may have criticized the US team, but I wanted them to win the gold. I didn't think that they would and they didn't. Bronze was theirs all along. Now...

Those Damned Dodgers

Thanks Paul Depodesta. Thanks a lot. All that you did was break up the team chemistry that Tom Tracy had built over the course of two years by trading Paul Loduca and Guillermo Motta, not to mention Encarnacion and Roberts, without getting Charles Johnson or Randy Johnson. The rational side of me... Sign in to see full entry.

Que Pasa?

Well it didn't take long for the U.S. basketball team to go down in flames, now did it. I know that we didn't send our best players, but even worse, we didn't send our best TEAM. And that's where the problem lies. The days of "Dream Team" marketing are over. It is time to send the best players for... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Things

First, I don't like Roger Clemens. Having said that, I agree with him totally on the way this situation of him at his sons baseball game was handled. Whoever leaked this story needs to get a life. First off, who cares what Clemens, or any other famous person, does away from the spotlight? Especially... Sign in to see full entry.
