    When the pitcher who was 3-12 coming into the game throws a complete game two-hitter, that’s pretty bad. When you have as many errors as hits, that’s pretty bad. When you have a fan base that continues to make excuses … Continue reading →

    With their loss last night the New York Yankees fell 10 1/2 games back of the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox. Nothing to be ashamed of, really. The Yankees still have the second-best record in baseball. That’s right. The Red Sox … Continue reading →

    In his storied career Bryce Harper has now hit 30 home runs exactly twice. A perennial all-star and former MVP, he’ll soon have about half a billion reasons to smile. But it won’t mean a thing if he ain’t got … Continue reading →

    Dear Sports Gods,   Thank you for providing me and a certain Mr. Woods a few moments of rekindled youth yesterday afternoon at the PGA Championship. Tiger’s second-place finish following his lowest score ever on a major championship Sunday gives me hope … Continue reading →

    The band that can sell out Madison Square Garden every night for two weeks does not need me to advertise for them. Still the same, I do like to note noteworthy things. The musical Phish of Vermont travel to the … Continue reading →

    Time to celebrate: Break out the Great Bluedini

    Reply

    My favorite beverage growing up, without a doubt, was Great Bluedini Kool-Aid. When I was a kid I used to have an official Kool-Aid Man pitcher, and I filled it with that antifreeze-like product so often in time it was … Continue reading →

    The timeless and incomparable (insert other clichés here) Tony Bennett turned 92 years old this past Friday. He gave us the present, dropping another musical gem upon us like a gift from the gods. Just another day at the office for … Continue reading →

    Tuesday night my hometown Washington Nationals scored a franchise record 25 runs in their rout of the New York Mets. You can read about it here or just scroll down a little. Last night the Nats put up only 10 against … Continue reading →

    Touchdown, field goal, field goal, field goal, field goal. Those were the Nationals’ first five innings yesterday. Add a sixer in their last ups and you’ve got 25 runs, and a 25-4 thrashing of the New York Mets. You might … Continue reading →

    “Summer” is flying by

    I used to think of the end of July as sort of the midway point of summer. You still had a whole month (and a little more) of summer left. Now, with school starting in early August (and back-to-school sales … Continue reading →
