Life is good: Baseball is back!
Opening Day 2011 has arrived! In an attempt not to have baseball played in November again, the 2011 season began a few days earlier than in seasons past. So I had no choice but to blow off work, buy some hot dogs & beer, and settle onto my couch and begin the journey of a [...]

Antigay Yankee chanters face ejections
So much for the Y-M-C-Gay chants at Yankees games that got a lot of publicity this week.

Baseball or boyfriend?
This is a tough weekend to be a baseball fan and a loving boyfriend.

Things are getting wild (Spoiler alert!)
This time of year separates the men from the boys so to speak. Either your team is in it or you are watching from the bench. With less than two weeks to play, there are only four teams left in the American League with post season aspirations, five if you count the Boston Red Sox [...]

Quick hits: Yankees, Boras, Nationals, Favre
If the Yankees were just 3-4 against the Red Sox this season, they’d have a 2-game division lead. Another example of the horrible nature of sports agents: Boras wants crazy money for a rookie pitcher. Only 100 fans saw the Washington Nationals lose in the 12th inning. And why did they leave Montreal? Tea leaves [...]
Quick hits: Favre, Sox, soccer, Facebook
The tea leaves this morning point to Brett Favre wearing purple this season.

Drew Carey wants soccer to become popular in the U.S. Carey owns part of the [...]
