The Reds have managed to turn an offensive surge, which they haven’t had ALL YEAR, into devastating defeat. Their “money” closer has blown up in 2 of 3 appearances, and has now blown 6. After Cordero gave up 3 runs , to put the Reds down 2, the Reds load the bases with no outs. No runs. 2 strikeouts and Continue Reading
Good game…… another rather sloppy ball-handling game and not so great shooting, but good on the boards. ESPN – Arkansas vs. Kentucky – Recap – February 23, 2008 Click on the photo for a larger version
That adds up to a loss due to idiotic play calling. Titans are now on the outside looking in for postseason. They have Indy left AT Indy, which will be tough unless Indy has no stake in the game, but realistically the Titans will be 9-7 if they get the job done on the other two. POOR, POUROUS 4th quarter Continue Reading
OK, after weeks of stunning upsets in College football, I still see people making their picks (now it’s West Virginia/Kansas). And why not? They’re the favorites now, in control of their own destinies. But I fully expect to see the Big 12 knock each other out (Oklahoma could well knock off that KU-Mizzou winner, thus keeping out the Big 12 Continue Reading
If LSU wins out and Kansas OR Oklahoma OR Missouri win out, then it’s LSU vs the Big 12 winner. The other teams, Ohio State, West Virginia, Georgia, and Arizona State have to hope for Oklahoma to lose one of their last two games and then beat Mizzou or Kansas, effectively knocking the Big 12 threesome out (by then, Kansas Continue Reading
I’ve watched things in College Football more than I ever have in my life this year. If LSU loses the game they just started , then does West Virginia step into their spot (assuming they beat Cincinnati, which is no gimme, and it is IN Cincinnati). If WVa loses , then Ohio State may be the opponent for the Big Continue Reading
Are these NFL sportscasters really thinking that anyone is surprised? Do they really think that the rest of the NFL fans OTHER than Patriots fans are interested in endless “analysis” and “Wow!” on the Patriot’s intiail run this year? I am saying NOTHING about how good they look. They look great. But after so much, I’m just not interested anymore, Continue Reading
What? It’s NOT the end of the world? Manny Ramirez committed baseball blasphemy. Ramirez: Red Sox losing ALCS wouldn’t be ‘end of the world’ ESPN – Manny: BoSox losing ALCS not ‘end of the world’ – MLB MLB.com has nothing on this. ESPN radio’s Mike and Mie in the morning were talking about it this morning, so I went to Continue Reading
Oh, well. It was his third best season out of 8 as a red (2005, 2000, and 2007), and at least now the Reds don’t “need” him. I was a little bummed that his power dropped off (he had 23 homers in 82 games at the break, only 7 in 62 games since) so that he didn’t reach 600 by the Continue Reading
The Reds find numerous ways to disappoint us these past two years. Each year, they’ve been so bad (mostly pitching) that they are , for all appearances, out of the race. Until, that is, the mediocre play from the Central Division allows them to be within striking distance with a record of 10 games under 500. Then, when the opportunity Continue Reading
I’ve said if before, but now I need to say it again. Baseball records need to re-institute the asterisks rule on the homerun record. Only instead of an asterisks, use the RX symbol (as Al Franken once said re: this issue). I am , as an MLB baseball fan, sick about this. There are mounds of evidence that Bonds doped Continue Reading
I’ve had such a chip on my shoulder about how difficult it seems to be for umpires to make a fan interference call, ever since the 1996 ALCS when a Yankee fan reached out from the stands and prevented a catch at the wall. The media played this kid up like a hero. The right field umpire was right there, looking Continue Reading
“The last time an Indians pitcher was the first to reach 13 wins was…” I already forgot the answer, but my point here is, who do they think cares about this utterly stupid tracing of entirely obscure statistics? Earlier today, I heard this one: On marking the starts of two pitchers way up there on the all time wins list Continue Reading
Maybe Aaron won’t, but I will. I am entirely suspicious, and this upcoming new HR record is the worst scourge on baseball. Worse than the strikes. It is a big blow. My Dad, from whom I inherited a love for Major League baseball, has basically lost interest in following it.
The Titans needed a gift from Santa to get into the playoffs. With a win at home vs the Pats (no easy task), they also needed KC to beat Jacksonville, The Steelers to beat Cincinnati at Cincinnati, and THEN have lowly San Francisco beat Denver at Denver. The Titans lost out. They were within 3 at 26-23 with 6 minutes Continue Reading
