The Perpetual Search for Inspiration: Hookers and Sham Wow

We in the blogging  community (yes, it makes us feel better to reinforce that there are other people who sit at their computers and force their friends to read their so/so writing in hopes that a national outlet will stumble upon us and pay millions for us to do what they already know we are [...]

Nothing’s Going On, But Tom Izzo Speaks in Third Person

With 6 days until opening day, there’s not much going on. Some of the teams that are training in Arizona (Angels, Diamondbacks, Cubs, White Sox, Rockies, Royals, Brewers, A’s, Padres, Giants, Mariners, and Rangers.) may be interested in Manny Delcarmen, who has become somewhat expendable in the Sox bullpen due to it’s depth, according to [...]

From Above the Rim: 1 Against 5 and You Won’t Survive…

Well after long last it finally happened.  My prediction came true in more ways than one.  I’ve waited all season long to witness the match up of North Carolina and Oklahoma.  The buildup to this game was that of a heavyweight rumble in the jungle.  The unanymous best player in the country, versus a heavy [...]

I’m Boned.

Well, I got screwed last night when Blake Griffin (who is a black ginger, by the way. Does that mean he still has no soul?) and Oklahoma beat Syracuse, who I had in the Final Four, and defending champs Kansas got knocked out by Michigan State. That leaves me in 11th place and embarrassingly behind [...]

It’s a Beautiful Thing

After a complete off day yesterday (and yes, I’m ignoring the NCAA games, because the only reason I’m paying attention is because of my bracket), the C’s play tonight, the B’s tomorrow, and the Sox this afternoon. It’s a beautiful day out and it is only made better by this:

Red Sox
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin [...]

Punch Your Ticket

After last night’s loss to the Orlando Magic the Celtics sit in third place in the Eastern conference at 54-19, and fourth overall in league standings.  The much anticipated return of Kevin Garnett has seen him play very limited minutes, as it is painfully obvious he’s still pampering that right knee.  Fortunately, you wouldn’t be [...]

Colin Cowherd Should Smother Himself.

Or at least stop talking about baseball.
Why so harsh, you ask? It’s because I know as well as you do that Colin Cowherd is googling himself every five minutes (and that can be taken in any way you want), he is an idiot and I want him to know it. During a commercial on Dale and Holley on [...]

A New Member of Wake’s Catching Frat.

Dougie, Kevin, Josh, say hello to George.
George Kottaras, Dale Arnold’s mancrush who once was thought to be the catcher of the future for the Sox, actually caught Tim Wakefield last night as he proved that he could handle the job and that The Elder Statesman still has it working. While the Sox trotted out Ortiz, [...]
