Three of my absolute favorite: religion, baseball, and comics.  This is a great clip.

World Series Pick :: Rays in 6

Posted in Sports, tagged , , , on October 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

ESPN analysts weighed in today, so I thought I would as well.  While pick’em lines are generally meaningless (see the “expert” picks for the 2008 Super Bowl), they are fun.  Three out of the four sportswriters I highly respect in the column linked above went with the Phillies (Crasnick, Gammons, Stark, with Olney dissenting), but [...]

Too Good to Pitch? What?

Posted in Sports, tagged on August 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »

There has to be more to this story.  The short version: a 9 year old in a New Haven baseball league has been banned from pitching in the league due to his superior talent on the mound.  His velocity and control are too intimidating for other 9 and 10 year olds.
I faced guys in Little [...]

Royals Broadcast, and Some Trade Deadline Analysis

Yesterday Chuck Russell and I decided to brave the 110 degree heat and head out to the K.  The Royals took on the Chicago White Sox and picked up a nice win.  We got to see a brawl (click for video), were given coupons for a free hot dogs and drink, and enjoyed chatting with [...]

Major League Baseball All-Star Game Extends Till 1:34 AM ET; AL Wins 4-3

Posted in Sports, tagged , on July 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Yea, that’s a long headline, as far as a I go. I stayed up last night for all 15 innings of last night’s MLB All-Star Game, and I enjoyed every minute.  Aside from three errors and three strikeouts by Dan Uggla (the errors didn’t cost his team the game, but sure made them sweat), it [...]

The Ghosts of Yankee Stadium

Posted in Sports, tagged , , , on July 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

ESPN.com recently featured this piece by Doug Ward on the history of Yankee Stadium.  It is a great column.  In the summer of 2006 I went to the Bronx and took in a game with Ryan Fitzhugh.  It was a Saturday afternoon contest against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.  The Yanks won 5-2, with homers [...]

Thanks to Ryan Fitzhugh for passing this along:

Here is the link to the Nike site.  If you visit the site, you can enter your location and allegiance to help redefine the map.  Pretty interesting concept.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame…

Tonight my wife Molly and I went out to Kauffman Stadium to watch the Royals take on the Cleveland Indians.  Gil Meche was matched up against C.C. Sabathia–at the outset it appeared to be a good matchup.  Meche had just come off a win, and Sabathia has had a rough start to the season.  At [...]

Opening Day

Posted in Sports, tagged , on April 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday the Royals took a 5-2 win over the Yankees.  I was out in left with Andrew Conard.  We split a 21 game season ticket package, so opening day seats were guaranteed.  KU dismissed classes yesterday in light of the National Championship victory, freeing me up for the game.  Other than the 30 to 40 [...]
