Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I used to point this out quite a bit, but didn’t much harp on it this year…I don’t think. I’m kinda glad I didn’t waste the energy in hindsight, since I don’t remember the last time I gave up on a baseball season quite so hard as I have on this one. Christ, this morning …

Dave Lozo has done a good article for the score about what it’s like when a player gets traded. So often as sports fans we get so caught up in thinking of players as game pieces (we should get rid of this guy or send these outfielders and prospects to team X to land some …
Mercifully, we’re finally nearing the end of the festering shitheap that has been the 2013 Toronto Blue Jays season. It’s been awful, simple as that. It’ll be a miracle if they manage to break the .500 mark or even get close to it. But since I am, believe it or not, somewhat of an optimist, …

If Houston Astros fans are an actual species that exists in the wild, I would like to apologize to them for not getting to this before now. I would especially like to apologize if any of them are the type to enjoy a cold, refreshing snow cone at the game now and then. After watching …

Following a baseball team everywhere it goes for an entire season and writing a book about the experience seems like such an obvious idea once you hear it, so why has nobody come up with it or done it yet? I don’t know, but Neal Smith would like to, and he’d like your help. GRINDING …

The Leafs are in the playoffs. No, future self skimming archives looking for things, you did not get that wrong. they’re in. for real. The last time this happened this place was less than a year old. This October it turns 10. So it’s been a long wait. and what has that long wait gotten …

So yeah. That stuff I said yesterday about heading outside to watch the Jays not get swept? It didn’t happen. The outside part happened and it was nice, but the fuckin’ Jays lost again.
