My Goodness

No comments

I’ve been traveling, doing work, and (of course) playing World Of Warcraft almost non-stop these past few weeks. I see that Jonathan has been busy keeping the site updated with fresh content. Things must be settling down for him in the new house. One of my internet buddies pointed me to the latest blog where [...]

Fielding Bible Take 2

No comments

After a few more days with The Fielding Bible by John Dewan, I have to say it is a pretty darn interesting book. Certainly not a purchase for everyone, but I imagine that fans of statistical baseball analysis, fantasy baseball, and students of the game will really enjoy the book.

My kids have been asking (no, begging is a better word) for a dog for a while now. Tonya and I promised them that we would get them a dog once we moved into the new house (since the yard was fenced in). No doubt you can see where this is going … Today we [...]

I found the following quote on ESPN.com, from Young’s agent (Major Adams) fairly interesting: “People are going to try to bring him down between the Rose Bowl and the draft [...]

New OOTP League …

No comments

I finally got brave and joined a second OOTP league: JOBL. I am taking over Orlando, which seems to be a decent team, with playoff aspirations this season. I have not hard time to study Orlando’s history, but I am sure it will be challenging to keep the team on the up and up. Will [...]

Winning Eleven 9 (PSP)

2 comments

I had a few minutes to get in a quick game, which is certainly not enough to judge the game as a whole. With that said, just one game was enough for me to determine that the pace of the game and spacing of players was better than the dozen of games I spent with [...]

Happy March!

No comments

Welcome to a new month of bliss. Fun stuffs in store – college basketball tournaments galore – about the only time I pay attention to college basketball. Spring Training is in full swing, and that little something called the World Baseball Classic is actually going to make baseball intense in the otherwise calm, warm weather [...]

No Wonder They Cheat …

From the March 3, 2006 “The Sporting News” Player to watch this fall: Ohio State LB Larry Grant. A junior college star at City College of San Francisco, Grant originally committed to Florida last fall but didn’t meet SEC academic requirements. He signed with Ohio State and likely will start spring practice at middle linebacker. [...]
