Rough Night for the Gophers

March 19th, 2009 · No Comments

As evidenced by the image above, CBS’ purchase/assumption of CSTV’s technology means someone might have been laid off.  Someone who might know that the upside down W represents Minnesota, not Minnesota-Duluth.  And that the only real bulldog in the Twin Cities is some U. of Georgia alumni whose seersucker pants draws many a curious stare […]

Thank you Rays

November 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

A big thanks to the Rays for silencing Red Sox nation this year, and saving us at least 2 hours of our lives, all of that time after midnight EDT.
The average game time of the LDS and LCS not involving the Red Sox this year was 3:06 per 9 innings, the games with the Red […]

Ray ban & the disappearing line between MLB & the Minors

November 15th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I’ve written about the dreadfulness of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays before…but I know I’m not the only one. Now they’ve changed their name, losing the “Devil” and the seagoing mascot, instead opting for the sun ray as their logo/mascot. Don’t mistake it for a ray of hope though. Their hat still […]

“Cub, Be Bear!”

October 9th, 2007 · No Comments

As the weekend turned the corner, I began my annual musing on why I’m a Cubs fan. My expectations each year are probably on par with those of the Pirates, Royals, and other perennial cellar-dwellers. Only the Cubs have a big payroll, and a fairly legitimate chance every year. But like the […]

Let’s go to Coors to get some…Coke?

October 1st, 2007 · No Comments

I was happy to see the Colorado Buffaloes beat Oklahoma this past weekend…I went to CU-Boulder from ‘92-94, prior to transferring. I didn’t miss a single home football game, and rarely missed basketball games. But I was glad I left when I did (and haven’t made the effort to get back for Homecoming […]

Sounding Off on Silverbacks’ Second Place Finish

October 1st, 2007 · No Comments

As I’ve written before, Atlanta is the the City of Seconds, or more aptly, the Seconds City.  But you better anunciate, as Chicago is also known as the “Second City.” Saturday night I rolled into Twain’s Billiards and Tap in Decatur for the “official game watching party” to watch our beloved Atlanta Silverbacks take a […]

Wanna buy the home of a former MLB All-Star?

September 27th, 2007 · No Comments

The AJC sure is generous. Today on the AJC home page, center fielder Andruw Jones and his family’s home is “featured.” Featured in the way a seller’s agent features their “open house of the week.” Andruw’s baseball contract is up, and rather than having a stellar year that would make his agent […]

I’ll swap brand equity for a win or two…

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Hey, it worked for Delta, but it hasn’t worked for the LA Galaxy. So I created a new logo for my 0-2 Fantasy Football team, Terrapin on Tap. It’s Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and instead of wielding his traditional sai weapon, he’s got a cold one for you. Or […]

Today I salute Jerry Rice

September 19th, 2007 · No Comments

Today I salute  Mr. Jerry Rice, the NFL’s greatest receiver ever.  I’m not the only one that wishes he was still playing, it seems ESPN’s Fantasy Football League 2007 still has him available…I just might pick him up for my team so that he can practice with my other fantasy team receivers, teaching them about […]
