World Series Picks and Preferences
Over the last 24 hours, I’ve asked several dozen of my friends and family members (1) who they think will win the World Series and why, and (2) which team they would like to see win the World Series and … Continue reading

One Last Prediction
One of the many things I love about this San Francisco-Texas World Series matchup is that I don’t have to defend my original prediction that the Phillies would sweep the Yankees. As good as the Phillies’ starting pitching was, and … Continue reading

A Riddle
What am I? I have a rabbit, a chick, a ducky, a catfish, a mule, a turkey, and two geese. I have a Sandy, a Candy, a Judy, a Christy, a Nellie, two Jesses, two Robins, and three Kell(e)ys. I … Continue reading

I watched every pitch of last night’s once-in-a-decade pitchers’ duel, which turned into a coming out party for Cody Ross. With the exception of a few (possibly unnecessary, depending on your opinion of ball one to Pat Burrell) pitches in … Continue reading

Postseason Fame vs. Infamy
Brooks Conrad was probably the best player on every Little League team he ever played for: the most dominant pitcher, the most feared hitter, and if needed, the most capable defensive second baseman. He was probably the best player in … Continue reading

In Football Country
Portland always disappoints me when the Red Sox aren’t in the playoffs, but this weekend raised the bar. Last night, I went to the bowling alley to watch the 5:07 Rays-Rangers game. I got there a little early and all … Continue reading
