SI Pulls The Plug

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 at 7:12 pm

Sports Interactive all but killed off Eastside Hockey Manager. The knee jerk “we couldn’t sell the game because of piracy” comments in the forum left me scratching my head. I read somewhere that the NHL All Star game had lower ratings than Andy Griffith re-runs aired during the same time (actually I […]

Out of the Park Baseball 2007 Info

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 at 6:51 pm

To quote an owner in my league and one of OOTPB 2006’s harshest critics “Sounds like they actually listened to all the complaints about the piece of crap that we’re using currently.”  His words, not mine, but I understand where he is coming from.  For complete info visit the new forum.

Out of the Park Baseball 2007

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007 at 1:47 am

News from various sources indicates that the beta team seems happy with the progress being made with OOTPB 2007.  I’m getting fewer “Markus is an idiot” (I paraphrase) notes.  Having lived through OOTPB 2006 for a season, I am not sure if it hasn’t sucked the life out of the OOTPB community.

A Cautionary Tale

Monday, January 29th, 2007 at 7:03 pm

Thanks to the folks at The Blog for the Sports Gamer for this classic clip.  The funny part are the responses to the show.  Jonathan, don’t neglect your son!  What a weak and lame response by the addicted player.  Come on brother, you can do better than that!

Sleepy Time WoW

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007 at 12:51 pm

One nice thing about taking time off for Joseph, is that I am getting a lot of time to play WoW.  I guess ‘a lot’ is relative, but it is nice being able to play for 30 minutes here and there throughout the day.  I figured I would take a break from doing all the […]

Home again … finally

Sunday, January 21st, 2007 at 4:52 pm

What a long 47 hrs since Joseph arrived.  Glad to be home again; in time for the playoffs.  :) 

Message From The Crusade

Saturday, January 20th, 2007 at 3:03 pm

A lot to write about, but time wasted writing are minutes away from World of Warcraft.  From the midnight launch event that I attended to the actual game itself, The Burning Crusade is pure gaming goodness.  I’m currently level 63 with my priest, my guild moved to a new server (Arathor) and I’ll write more […]

Joseph Ryals Calvert arrives …

Saturday, January 20th, 2007 at 2:57 pm

Joseph made it here Friday, January 19, 2007 at 4:34PM.  7lbs 3oz, 20in long … ten fingers, ten toes … all that good stuff.  Nice and healthy.  Mother and baby are doing great; maybe a little tired, but other wise fine.  Me?  Last night I realized that I was too dumb to not realize that […]

Best team does not always win …

Sunday, January 14th, 2007 at 9:05 pm

So here we go.  Three minutes and change; 21-21 … Captain Tom at the helm.  Hard for me not to believe that he puts his team in position to steal one away from the Super Chargers.

Best Hit Ever?

Saturday, January 13th, 2007 at 9:15 pm

Not sure who put that lick on Bush, but OMG was that an incredible hit.  Hope the entire game is as good as that hit in the first minute!

Wrong, But Feeling Fine

Saturday, January 13th, 2007 at 8:36 pm

I love Indy winning this one.  Fat lady is not singing yet, but it is pretty much in the book.  Very nice.  Vinatieri is money; 5 FGs makes for a MVP kind of day.

Baby Watch

Saturday, January 13th, 2007 at 8:15 pm

The Official Calvert Baby Watch Number Three has started.  Yesterday Tonya’s doctor told us that boy number three would be here within the week.  Will induce on Friday if baby has yet to show his head (so to speak).
I nervously say ‘baby’ because we have yet to settle on a name.  Lots of possibilities, but […]

NFL Quick Picks

Friday, January 12th, 2007 at 9:24 pm

This is not so much about who I want to win, but who I think will win.  New Orleans.  I am not a Saints fan; being a Falcons fan, that would not be acceptable.  I think the Eagles got lucky (you do need some degree of luck), but ultimately the Saints are the better team.
QB […]

Punditry

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 at 10:45 am

I thought I’d dig this up from the December archives over at The Blog for the Sports Gamer where my favorite Ohio State fan made the following prediction:
“As of now I am thinking 30-16 OSU in the title game, FWIW. I just don’t think there is any offense in the SEC that can match up […]

BCS Prediction

Monday, January 8th, 2007 at 8:13 pm

I am going to be a contrarian with my prediction; 27-23 Florida, which the go ahead TD coming in the final 5 minutes of the game.  We have see what Tressel can do against top teams (and in big games), but no so much with Meyer.  I just have to believe that this whole “Florida […]
