    I’ve been waiting patiently the past two nights for baseball to return. Royals and Orioles players have been waiting four. This is simply unbaseball-like. Thanks, TV studio execs. Proof once again that baseball is not played on ballfields; it’s played … Continue reading →

    October. Baseball playoffs, college football. Cripes, could this weekend’s games have been any better? This is why I don’t get any work done in the month of October. Damn. I mean… awesome.
