    Six weeks ago I said either the Nets or the Sixers would be heading to the NBA Finals (and Phoenix and Miami wouldn’t be). I still stand by these statements. (It’s gonna be Sixers-Warriors, by the way.) Great as my … Continue reading →

    Putting the show in Showtime

    On a previous episode of Math and Musings I suggested that no one on HBO’s Winning Time was being misrepresented in any unfair way (read:actionable), though I was sure it would come eventually. Yeah, I think that time has come. Sunday’s episode was pretty … Continue reading →

    It’s all about your “reaction”

    We’ve gone very quickly from staying in because it’s too cold to staying in because it’s too hot. Super. My son introduced me over the weekend during our time indoors to “reaction videos.” You familiar with these? Third degree television viewing that’s … Continue reading →

    This analogy is apt

    New phrase for circumstances when calling something “a dick move” would be too coarse… Like intentionally walking a guy with 2,999 hits.  … Continue reading →

    Good thing I got out of Binghamton when I did. Seems as though as I was posting Monday morning the Bing was getting 14 inches of snow. Hmph. Oh, it’s not the 14 inches of snow at the end of … Continue reading →

    Back from the Bing

    Reply

    Over the weekend I found myself back in the old country, braving the snow and cold (seriously) in Binghamton, New York. As I’ve noted before, Binghamton is probably the worst place on Earth, but it’s also home to like six … Continue reading →

    Fred Nats review

    Posted on April 15, 2022 by moc
    Reply

    Report from the road complete: Nats farm team does justice to the parent club, and more importantly its stadium does too. In a word, yes, the new ballpark of the Fredericksburg Nationals trumps the club’s previous home by a 500-foot … Continue reading →

    Today’s the day I’m doing it. Gonna see the farm team finally. This morning, actually, as the Single-A Fredericksburg Nationals take on the Carolina Mudcats at Virginia Credit Union Stadium, at 11:05. Damn I love morning baseball. I haven’t seen … Continue reading →

    Well, the weekend didn’t end with Tiger Woods donning another green jacket, but I did get to see some damn good golf, some damn good baseball, and parts of at least two good series on “TV.” I’m happy to say … Continue reading →

    Giving me a glimmer of hope

    Reply

    On the first day of The Masters every year there’s always an old man who somehow keeps up with the leaders through Round One, giving hope to old guys all over the world. I guess it would be Tiger Woods some … Continue reading →
