OK, yeah, I’m trying a bit of a new look. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out most of it yet — no idea how to get that Archives page to work — but what do you think? I was drawn to this design because of the Little Italy photo on top … love that. Of course [...]

OK, yeah, I’m trying a bit of a new look. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out most of it yet -- no idea how to get that Archives page to work -- but what do you think? I was drawn to this design because of the Little Italy photo on top ... love that. Of course I could have just held a Pozcars contest to have one of you design this blog. * * * I only counted about five cheap shots by Rodney ... Read More

Brilliant reader Mike, already, hits us with the comment of the day:
Harrison is dirty, but he gets a ton of fines for some of the stuff he does. Announcers mentioned it in the past (that’s how I knew to look for it; I have a hard time noticing safeties when there’s 20 other guys on [...]

Brilliant reader Mike, already, hits us with the comment of the day: Harrison is dirty, but he gets a ton of fines for some of the stuff he does. Announcers mentioned it in the past (that’s how I knew to look for it; I have a hard time noticing safeties when there’s 20 other guys on the field), but for some reason they haven’t this year. Which is especially odd because he had that whole HGH issue at the beginning of the year, ... Read More

ROB, Part III

Categories: Baseball

Third parts almost always suck. Godfather III sucked so bad that my friends have made solemn pact to insist — even under torture — that it never happened. I was quite sure that third Star Wars movie sucked until I saw the prequels, which sucked more. The third Back to the Future sucked, as did [...]

Third parts almost always suck. Godfather III sucked so bad that my friends have made solemn pact to insist -- even under torture -- that it never happened. I was quite sure that third Star Wars movie sucked until I saw the prequels, which sucked more. The third Back to the Future sucked, as did all of the ill-conceived trifectas involving Jaws, Jason, Elm Street, Bruce Willis, death, Indiana Jones, Keanu Reaves and Hannibal Lecter. I heard that the third Lord of the ... Read More

ROB (Part II)

Categories: Baseball

OK, so here’s one significant problem with the way I do this blog — I will write these excessively long and rambling posts, and then the comments will read like so:
“Joanna Kearns rocks!”
“What you want to do is take the coefficient of Y and …”
“Incorporate intentional walks!”
“How could you just leave Helen Hunt off the [...]

OK, so here’s one significant problem with the way I do this blog -- I will write these excessively long and rambling posts, and then the comments will read like so: “Joanna Kearns rocks!” “What you want to do is take the coefficient of Y and ...” “Incorporate intentional walks!” “How could you just leave Helen Hunt off the list?” “Don’t you think that slugging percentage is a better gauge of Courtney Thorne Smith?” It can get awfully confusing for a simple-minded guy like myself. So, for once, ... Read More

ROB

OK, you can admit it … your first thought was that this was going to be about Rob Neyer. But it isn’t. And it’s also not about the old Dick Van Dyke Show, though it could be because I love that show, and I think that the young Mary Tyler Moore remains one of the [...]

OK, you can admit it ... your first thought was that this was going to be about Rob Neyer. But it isn’t. And it’s also not about the old Dick Van Dyke Show, though it could be because I love that show, and I think that the young Mary Tyler Moore remains one of the hottest wives/moms in television history. The next Pozcars may very well have this question on it, so you might want to study up. Off the top of ... Read More
