One day later, I’m no longer mad at Joel Skinner. It just seems silly to be angry at a third base coach for one gross misjudgment when the rest of his team utterly collapsed. Yes, I still think Skinner’s stunning timidity which prevented Kenny Lofton from scoring was one of the worst bits of third-base [...]
One day later, I’m no longer mad at Joel Skinner. It just seems silly to be angry at a third base coach for one gross misjudgment when the rest of his team utterly collapsed. Yes, I still think Skinner’s stunning timidity which prevented Kenny Lofton from scoring was one of the worst bits of third-base coaching I have ever seen. Who am I kidding? It was the worst. Period. It was so bad that any third base coach who holds up a ... Read More

Friends will tell you that I’m an optimistic person by nature. It’s true. I keep buying REM albums even though I haven’t liked any of them since Automatic for the People. I am not afraid to drive with the low-gas warning light on because I believe that a gas station will emerge when I really need one.

OK, so my mind is a bit scrambled here in Kansas City with Priest Holmes about to play a game on Sunday and the Royals having made what I think is an absolutely fabulous hire in Trey Hillman. Plenty more on both of those items later (there’s a big surprise coming from your local correspondent [...]
OK, so my mind is a bit scrambled here in Kansas City with Priest Holmes about to play a game on Sunday and the Royals having made what I think is an absolutely fabulous hire in Trey Hillman. Plenty more on both of those items later (there’s a big surprise coming from your local correspondent here), but first I wanted to do a little breakdown of the Indians and Red Sox.
This rambles all over the place, but to the commenter who wanted ... Read More

So, for fun on another baseball day off — they really did a nice job scheduling this ALCS didn’t they? — I want to break down the Indians and Red Sox a little bit. We’ll try to get to that this afternoon. But before we do that, let’s talk a little MannyBeingManny.

So, for fun on another baseball day off -- they really did a nice job scheduling this ALCS didn’t they? -- I want to break down the Indians and Red Sox a little bit. We’ll try to get to that this afternoon. But before we do that, let’s talk a little MannyBeingManny.
Thursday, with the score tied 1-1, and David Ortiz at first base, and the Red Sox perhaps beginning to get frustrated, MBM hit a long fly ball to right field. It ... Read More

Whoops. I mistakenly killed the live blog I was doing during Game 5 of the ALCS. I would have mistakenly killed the game itself, but that was beyond even my almost limitless lack of computer skills.
I would normally have been upset about the computer kill, but there really wasn’t anything worth reading in there. [...]

I would normally have been upset about the computer kill, but there really wasn’t anything worth reading in there. A few shots at erectile dysfunction commercials. I have no idea why those are allowed to appear on television. They erectile dysfunction lobbying group must offer some ... Read More
