The Red Sox have no balls

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Yet again, the World Championship Boston Red Sox - a phrase that pains me to type - have an imbroglio brewing because of their balls.
Three years ago, the Red Sox, winners of what was then their first World Series since 1918, had to sue their own player in an unsuccessful effort to reclaim a […]

There’s Only One November

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

October is finally over. Dane Cook can go back to being the spokesman for fratboys and douchebags everywhere, rather than being the spokesman of Major League Baseball. But what will his November be like? Let’s look into our crystal ball…
November 1, 12:01am: Crawls into a corner to cry like a little girl because October is […]

Now You’re Clueless Joe

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

“Clueless Joe.” That was the headline by the New York Daily News when Joe Torre, thrice-fired by the Mets, Braves, and Cardinals, was hired to take over the Yankees. His record hardly suggested that of a man who would lead the Yankees to four world championships and twelve straight playoff appearances. But he did, and […]

In the spirit of Halloween, I’ve established the five scariest sports costumes for the West Coast (as opposed to above, the likely costume for all of a dozen Knicks fans left). These five were chosen for their overall terror that they cause on anyone remotely close to a “Sports Fan:”

The A-Rod Sweepstakes, part I

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

First off I’d like to state for the record that Alex Rodriguez is a douchebag for trying to preempt the Red Sox’s World Series joy with the announcement that he is opting out of his contract with the Yankees. With that stated, I am overjoyed at the prospect of seeing him in a Giants uniform. […]

The Red Sox won the World Series. Wahoo. I’m thrilled. I’m speechless. I am one of about 30,000 Red Sox fans who have ever seen their team win the World Series in person. My dad and I shoveled out a couple thousand bucks and flew 2,000 miles to see our beloved baseball team win the […]

Well, Alex Rodriguez has officially opted out of his contract, leaving around $75 - $80 million on the table, the Yankees furious, and the Texas Rangers happy as hell to spend that nine million dollars on players who are actually playing. As you probably know, this means it’s time for superagent Scott Boras to work his magic.

It’s Party Time, Place Your Bets!

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

It’s official, the Red Sox are World Series Champions (again)!

Now, we all know that fans of the Boston Red Sox are a little crazy when it comes to winning the World Series.
Last time the Red Sox won the World Series, back in 2004, there was quite the celebration.
So with this year’s celebration, let’s put the […]

Most Expected National Anthem Singer Ever
Carrie Underwood
Conversation between me and my friend Vito during Wednesday night’s Game 1:
Vito: I wonder who will sing the national anthem when you’re out there.
Me: It’s Colorado… probably some country singer.
Biggest American Flag I Have Ever Seen

I’ll talk about the game. I’ll talk about how I’m still in shock about Daisuke’s 2-RBI single. I’ll talk about how the only people in Denver who seem to have any hope left for the Rockies are the players themselves.
But first, I must show you a picture of the best sign I saw last night.
