The Circus Leaves Town
And then he was gone. Manny Ramirez is scheduled to be in the starting lineup tonight for your Chicago White Sox (but for whatever reason wasn’t). When it was announced he was leaving Sunday evening (or as they call that in internet time “one billion years ago”) I’m sure you went through your own personal [...]
BG Breaks His Legendary Silence On the 2010 Dodgers
Worst season ever. I really don’t want to say anything bad about the franchise that made me love sports but I hate everything about this season and now, thanks to a few ill-advised trades, I might end up hating future seasons as well. If you want a rundown of these despicable moves just click to [...]
In a class of our own
So finally got me a (hand me down) iPhone last week, along with the slick WordPress app that I’m currently using to write this post. In a way I feel like I’m cheating — posting from a phone, on my couch. I also feel like mobile is dumbing down our writing. 140 characters is becoming [...]
Product Review: Roku Box streaming MLB TV
Did I tell you guys I bought a new TV a while ago? I was one of the last people around to finally upgrade and get a flat screen, blah blah blah TV with blah blah blah resolution and blah blah blah hertz. Sounds awesome, right? Right. Anywayz, getting a new TV is nice and [...]
Speaking of perfection, Mo’ Rivera still perfect after all these years
Props to Oakland’s Dallas Braden tonight for chucking a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays (in case you missed it, since it came on Mother’s Day and all: and nobody showed up in Oakland to watch it anyway (12,228 fans, really? That stadium was 2/3rds empty, for a perfect game?). Note to A-Rod the [...]
BG’s Fan Fiction: Chad Billingsley Plays Catch With His Neighbor
Chad Billingsley sat inside his dark apartment and stared warily out the window. He had the curtains drawn and almost no light entered into the dark void. Chad was busy applying for jobs posted on Craig’s List, brooding silently and clutching a mug of green tea which had gone cold thirty minutes ago. He’d taken [...]
BG’s Fan Fiction: Ned Colletti’s Rollerblade Q & A
Ned Colletti was not happy. The Dodgers were in the middle of a terrible swoon, his prized possession (and the man who had completely and totally saved his job by being run out of Boston) was on the DL and he had a terrible case of moustache gout flaring up. There was only one thing [...]
BG’s Fan Fiction: Art Imitating Life
Frank McCourt was busy sweeping the sand off the front porch of his beachfront condo in Malibu when the batteries went out on his radio. He heaved a weary sigh and propped the broom in the corner of his rented space and walked inside to look for an extension cord. He had been listening to [...]
Roy Halladay’s Historic Season
In July, you’re probably going to read a stat-filled column by Philadelphian Jayson Stark with a title very similar to that one. I’m just going to plant the seed in your mind a little bit early. 3-0, 24 IP, 21 K’s, 2 BB, 1:13 ERA, 0.96 WHIP. That’s Halladay’s season stat line after his latest [...]
The Way in Which We Roll
Don’t you think the first day of the baseball season should be a national holiday? Judging by the amount of text messages, phone calls and emails I received yesterday regarding the exploits of Yunel Escobar, Jason Heyward and Garret Jones I’m guessing productivity was already at an all-time low for those in internet land so [...]
