    Thirty days had September

    Posted on September 30, 2015 by moc
    Reply

    This September was not one to remember for my hometown Washington Nats. What should have been a month-long coast to a division title became, rather, a struggle to stay alive that turned into an undignified total collapse. Teammates literally coming … Continue reading →

    Yogi Berra, 1925-2015

    I realize I’m a few days late on this, but I couldn’t let the passing of Yogi Berra escape a tribute on this blog. I’ve got to do it for him, because otherwise he probably won’t do it for me. … Continue reading →

    New respect for Pope

    Posted on September 25, 2015 by moc
    Reply

    I’ve written previously about Pope Francis (see “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?,” Dec. 13, 2013), so I don’t feel as though I need to rehash how I feel about his economic illiteracy and completely ignorant platitudes … Continue reading →

    High hopes for TV series dashed but quick

    I had high hopes for the Muppets’ new television series on ABC, cleverly called The Muppets. I think they put about as much thought into the title as they did anything else about the show. I think the only thing that … Continue reading →

    I’m getting my hopes up again as we speak

    Do I think a 24-10 victory over the Rams yesterday spells good things for the upcoming season? Hail yes! … Continue reading →

    New candidate emerges on the political scene

    Posted on September 18, 2015 by moc

    It’s obvious to me that Donald Trump is an unstoppable force driving toward the GOP nomination for president. The only person in the world right now more magnetic than Trump seems to be young Ahmed Mohamed, clock-making public hero from … Continue reading →

    This is how we roll in D.C.

    Gotta love a night when your #1 draft pick pitcher goes eight innings with one hit and fourteen strikeouts and your #1 draft pick hitter goes 3-3 with two home runs and four RBIs. Hopes held high for fourth-round draft … Continue reading →

    Fool me once…

    Well, they got me again. Yup, I’ll admit I was a little excited yesterday as my politically incorrect hometown football team jumped out to a 10-0 lead, actually led in the second half, and overall played better than I thought … Continue reading →

    Football, sweet football

    Reply

    Never thought I’d write that title, but there it is. Given the Yankees’ struggles this week and the Nats’ straight-up implosion I am ready for some football. And I mean actual football, for God’s sake, not courtroom drama, player suspensions, … Continue reading →

    Disappointment comes in bunches

    Posted on September 9, 2015 by moc
    Reply

    There’s only one thing worse than seeing your team give up a ninth-inning homer to lose a game by a run. Seeing your other team blow a 7-1 lead to lose a very important game by a run. Thanks, Obama. … Continue reading →
