It has been a hard decade plus three to be an Orioles fan, just when you think you can’t sink any lower, they manage to do it. Not only are the Orioles the only team in the league without a homer from a first baseman, but the Arizona Diamondbacks (.271), Milwaukee Brewers (.270) and Cincinnati [...]
Bud Selig says A-Rod Shamed The Game. Gee Bud, don’t you think there is plenty of shame to go around here? The commisioner of Baseball ignored the problem, until forced to deal with by Congress. Shame on him. Owners allowed their young employees to poison themselves so that they would be more fun to watch. [...]
First up, Wal-Mart has decided to turn off its DRM servers and screw its customers who bought from them. Just like Microsoft did and Yahoo did before them. Tell us again about how DRM is the safe way to buy. Next up is the great hobby of reenacting. Rule one, only reenact with people who [...]
According to this article in the Post the Nats are drawing only 9,000 viewers a game for their televised games. That is pathetic. The Kansas City Royals, perennial losers, draw 28,000 a game as the next lowest team. I know the Nats are new in town, I know it takes awhile to build a solid [...]
I meant to post this back in April and just stumbled across this link. A group called Improv Anywhere decided to turn a little league game into a major league game. Brilliance results. They even got the Goodyear Blimp to turn up. Fantastic. They have done a number of interesting ‘missions’ so poke around their [...]
With great pain I acknowledge the Yankees are no longer in the basement of the American League East, the Baltimore Orioles have taken their place. It was nice while it lasted.
I love minor league baseball, the games are fun and the promotions are brilliant. Case in point, the Larry Craig Bobble Foot being given away by the St. Paul Saints. On their site it says they are celebrating National Tap Dancing Day with the bobblefoot as well. Oh, and the Yanks are still in last [...]
I missed this incident during the weekend series with the Pirates, sounds serious. We can only hope this convinces them to more careful in the future.

Carol sent me a link to the The Miskatonic Valley Junior Baseball Association the other day and I thought I should share it with you all. Due to unfortunate circumstances the league is down to two teams this year, the The Innsmouth Guppies VS the Dunwich Whippoorwills. I am a bit broke right now or [...]
