  • World Series Games w/ Wacky Endings

    Everyone thought that it couldn’t get any crazier than how Game 3 of the World Series ended.  Obstruction? A dumb decision by the catcher to throw it to 3rd base to begin with? It had the makings of a historical ending filled in controversy and second guessing.  Was it the right call?  What would have…

  • Red Sox with an epic comeback vs. Tigers

    The Red Sox were almost no hit in the first game of the 2013 ALCS vs. the Tigers.  Detroit took the no hitter into the 9th inning and won Game 1.  It was the first time that the Red Sox had been shut out at home in the postseason since the 1918 World Series vs.…

  • The Undeserving Cleveland Indians

    The Tampa Bay Rays have eliminated the Cleveland Indians from the 2013 MLB Playoffs courtesy of their 4-0 victory in the AL Wild Card game.  The Rays have been on a wild ride needing to win in Toronto in Game 162 and in Texas in Game 163 in order to earn a berth in the…

  • Raise The Jolly Roger

    After 20 plus straight seasons of a losing record, the Pirates and their fans were more than ready for tonight.  Some Pirates fans had been waiting their whole life for that moment: playoff baseball.  The Cincinnati Reds were no match for Pittsburgh in the NL Wild Card game.  Reds stud 2nd baseman, Brandon Phillips, went…

  • Nolan Ryan Face

    It’s another year and the Texas Rangers have been eliminated from the MLB Playoffs yet again.  That can only mean one thing.  Another Nolan Ryan Face happened tonight!   The Rangers lost to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 163 to be eliminated from the 2013 Playoff picture and Nolan Ryan didn’t disappoint.  Way to…

  • Dale Sveum Fired

    The Cubs announced this morning that they had relieved Dale Sveum of his duties as manager.  I liked Coach Sveum.  He always treated me nicely and I will always fondly remember his first day on the job.  I was working security at the door of the United Club, checking in the media, for the press…

  • Statues – What Not To Do

      People are so disrespectful and rude. What makes people think they can do this to a statue?  Do you walk into a museum and start climbing all over the statues?  So what makes it ok to do it at a ballpark?  This happens all the time at Wrigley Field.  Wrigley Field is a national…

  • Mariano Rivera – Exit Sandman

    Last night was the end of an era as the greatest closer in MLB history pitched his last game in Yankee Stadium.  Hopefully he doesn’t pitch again this weekend because what happened in NY was the perfect sendoff.  It couldn’t have happened any better.  Say what you will about the New York Yankees but they…

  • Todd Helton is a bum

    I am disgusted by the fanfare that MLB and the Rockies are giving Todd Helton on his farewell tour.  Longevity doesn’t mean you are great.  Overstaying your welcome doesn’t make you great.  Putting up some gaudy numbers playing the majority of your games basically on the moon doesn’t make you great.  If Larry Walker (who…

  • Bad Slide

      The 2013 Houston Astros season (hell the last couple of seasons really) summed up in one gif from tonight’s game.  This is why they’ve had 3 straight 100 loss seasons.
