It’s Time To Say Goodbye

Posted on: Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 in: Commentary, NFL

When New York Giants running back Tiki Barber announced that this would be his final year of playing professional football he was meant with much criticism. Some people (ESPN’s Michael Irvin and Tom Jackson, to name two) even stated that his announcement would be a distraction to his team. Barber called them “idiots”, and I […]

The Lunacy of A Sports Fan

Posted on: Friday, October 20th, 2006 in: Commentary

A few years ago a young man walked in to a local tattoo parlor to forever mark his body with a symbol that represented something near and dear to his heart. A symbol that embodied who he was and where he came from. A symbolic tribute to his favorite thing in the world.

The tattoo was […]

Simply Amazin’

Posted on: Friday, October 20th, 2006 in: MLB

I just love Game 7’s and I especially love Game 7’s in baseball. Each pitch matters. Each hit matters. Each error matters. Each managerial decision matters.
Last night’s Game 7 between the Mets and Cards did not disapoint. It didn’t play out exactly how I imagined, but the game certainly was fantastic.
For starters, I was wrong […]

Looks Like We Have Ourselves A Game 7

Posted on: Thursday, October 19th, 2006 in: MLB

Guess those Amazin Mets weren’t quite ready for it to be winter yet. With a solid 4-2 victory last night, the Mets staved off elimination and set the stage for the most dramatic event in sports: A Game 7.
The drama of this game 7 may very well be whose starting pitching can actually make it […]

Cards On Verge Of NL Title

Posted on: Wednesday, October 18th, 2006 in: MLB

Well looky here. It appears as everyone’s National League favorite team, the Mets, are about to get knocked out of the playoffs and join their cross-town rival Yankees on a long winter vacation.
Of course I still don’t see that happening.
The Mets are too good to lose to a team like the Cardinals.  Then again, the […]

Bears Get Lucky

Posted on: Tuesday, October 17th, 2006 in: NFL

So if I were to tell you that the Arizona Cardinals are going to force six turnovers and give up zero offensive touchdowns against the undefeated Chicago Bears you’d probably have me drug tested.
And after I passed that drug test and told you the same thing you probably would tell me, “Wow I can’t belive […]

M-E-T-S!!Mets! Mets! Mets!

Posted on: Friday, October 13th, 2006 in: MLB

After a soggy rain out on Wednesday, the NLCS finally kicked off last night with the Mets defeating the Cardinals 2-0. The victory gives the Amazin’s that all important 1-0 lead in the series.
What was billed as two offensive — that’s OFF-ensive not O-ffensive — turned out to be quite the pitchers dual.
A pitchers dual […]

Tigers Again Dominant

Posted on: Thursday, October 12th, 2006 in: MLB

In our continuing coverage of the series no one is watching, the Detroit Tigers once again proved that they were too much for those Oakland A’s to handle last night with an 8-4 victory.
The game itself was overshadowed by the sudden and tragic death of Yankee pitcher, Cory Lidle, who crashed his plane in to […]

Tigers Take Early Lead In Series

Posted on: Wednesday, October 11th, 2006 in: MLB

I’m gonna just go ahead and admit it right now, I didn’t watch the game last night.
I was too bust watching Tito Ortiz KTFO Ken Shamrock on Spike TV. What a shocker that was. Ortiz beat the shit out of him last time they fought, and this time — all though I didn’t […]

Yanks/Tigers Game 3

Posted on: Friday, October 6th, 2006 in: MLB

We’re live in “The Pit” ready for Game 3 of the ALDS between the Yankees and Tigers.  Got the projection screen shining against a queen sized sheet in an ole so classy matter.  Got four 16 oz Bud Lights on ice with a case of PBR upstairs in the fridge.  So it goes without saying as […]
