MLB Circles the Wagons!

Well it really hit the fan this week with the start of spring training games.  The Astros are catching grief from all directions!  I really didn’t think the other players would be so upset about the whole mess, but based on the number of Astros hitters who were hit by pitches the first week, I […]

MLB Proposed New Playoffs

The sports media are at it again ripping MLB for the playoff changes being floated.  “How dare they” is a common statement.  I have also been reading a lot of “Fix this problem first” stuff.  Again, media people are trying to make the news instead of reporting it.  Wake up sports fans!  We deserve better […]

MLB Cheating Scandal

Well, the Astros have been ripped by everyone on the planet over their sign stealing.  I still maintain that the other teams are no better and that the Astros’ biggest sin is their amazing lack of contrition.  They “apologized” today with some of the lamest bunch of weasel words I have ever heard!  The statements […]

Jeter and Walker Elected to Hall of Fame

The two newest baseball Hall of Fame members are Derek Jeter and Larry Walker.  Jeter was one vote short of unanimous and Walker squeaked in with 6 more than the required votes.  The sports media are squawking about the one person who DARED leave Jeter off their ballots.  I have news for them – NO […]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks so I wanted to wish everyone the happiest of holidays.  MLB is in a good place with the free agent market sorting itself out much earlier this year.  NASCAR is still a mess.

MLB Free Agency

This year’s free agent market appears to be moving much quicker than those of the past two years.  We will know for sure if the stars of the group (Strasburg, Cole and Rendon) sign before Christmas.  A suspicious mind might wonder if the faster pace is due to the heat that MLB teams have been […]

Astros are Cheaters? So What?

Well, the media hounds are howling about the Houston Astros stealing signs.  Why is this news?  The New York Giants used a buzzer system in the 1950’s to steal signs at the Polo Grounds.  IT IS PART OF THE GAME!!  Does  anyone really think that the other teams are not doing the same things?  I […]

Florida Cycling Vacation

Just to change things up a little, I wanted to add a post on my latest adventure.  I am in Central Florida for a 10 day cycling vacation.  The West Orange Trail is the best bike trail I have EVER been on, and I have been cycling for 34 years.  The only problem is the […]

World Series Awesome!

I hope baseball fans enjoyed the amazing seven game World Series!  EVERY game was won by the visiting team!  That has NEVER happened before.  As a baseball announcer whose name escapes me said many years ago “No matter how many games you see, there is always something you have never seen before”.  The World Series […]
