Georgia is not what you would consider a traditional college baseball powerhouse. I read in the local newspaper today that Georgia’s first trip to the CWS was in 1987 (something I did not realize). They won it all in 1990, but they over the next 11 years they only had one winning season in the [...]
After the Mexico/US game last night, some interesting numbers were discussed. Since 2000, the US is 7-0-1 against Mexico for games played in the US. This includes a 13-0 goal differential, and accounts for 732 scoreless minutes for the boys from Mexico. Nice. Looks like the next National team outing is in Miami, FL against [...]
Donovan! Yes! Mexico 0 – USA 2. Happy days are here again. Not really because we have not played well, but I love going up 2 – nil on Mexico!
Hell yes! Corner from Donovan. Perfectly served to Conrad on a header. Beautiful movement in an otherwise piss poorly played game. Mexico 0 – USA 1.
Not so much. When is a friendly not a friendly? When Mexico visits the US. Nothing against the people of Mexico, but I hate Mexico (the team). I have a feeling that we are not going to do well tonight; just a feeling. Hope I am wrong. Go USA!
I love The Hardball Times (need to talk about the THT 2007 Baseball Annual sometime soon). The recently ran a great article on Bonds and his quest to break the HR record. “Assuming Bonds sees a 20% attrition in plate appearances, that gives him about 410 opportunities, which means he needs a HR/PA rate of [...]
For those of you that thought football was over, think again. Today is that great time known as National Signing Day. My dad used to really get into this (after he retired – too much time on his hands I guess), but I never put much stock in ranking signing classes because these kids have [...]
The monkey is off the collective back of the collective backs of Tony Dungy and Peyton Manning. I think this victory just earned both of those guys a trip to the HOF. Dungy for a great winning percentage and of course the social significance of being the first black coach to win the Super Bowl. [...]
I know I predicted the Colts at the beginning of the season (and stood by that prediction last night), but you may want to know why the Colts are my pick. For starters, despite the over exposure of Manning, I actually like the guy, and want to see him do well. I am not an [...]
The giggles you here resonating from the Big Three are all from the Bing N. Nintendo must be pretty happy these days. I am getting a small tax refund this year (will comment on pros/cons later) so I figured I could “float” a Wii and pay it off with the expected return. No such luck; [...]
Possible content warning for younger readers. I just came across what has to be the worst site ever (or damn near close to the worst ever) – gadgetcandy.com; tag line is “because girls love gadgets too.” Maybe so, but I do not see how this site will help the cause. Two samples of rubbish from [...]
Interesting Braves blog article in the AJC about fan favorite Adam LaRoche who was recently traded to Pittsburgh for closer Mike Gonzalez. The one quote that caught my eye? He also said this about Atlanta fans: “They got spoiled, and they’ve got to know that. Somebody’s got to have told them by now. They were [...]
Just in case I run out of time, I will make my prediction tonight. I am going to stay with my beginning of the season pick – Indianapolis. Just do a search; the rest of my picks may be a bit of a mess, but I am going to ride the Colts.
When I learned that Michael Irvin made the NFL Hall of Fame my first thought was that this was due to popularity; ESPN is a mighty fine marketing machine. I decided to dig into the numbers a little bit to see if I could make a legitimate argument to support my case. The Hall of [...]
I was looking at the OOTPB 2007 feature change list and came away very impressed. I was going to quote a few of my favorite items, or general items on the list that caught my attention, but to be honest, the list is too long! There is always eternal optimism prior to the release of [...]
