It’s 6:50pm Mountain Time, and I’m sitting 21 rows behind the visiting AZ Dbacks dugout. Let’s PLAY BALL!
OK, so some notes and observations from Coors Field in Denver, Colorado:

There are two lefties starting tonight… had I bothered to research this ahead of time, I probably would NOT have chosen to sit behind the THIRD BASE […]

You Know Your Team Sux When…

1 August 2008 by The Borg

…it’s used as the basis of a practical joke, which gets another player SO mad that he’s “ready to kill someone” rather than be traded there. Doh!!

Sister Signed!! Wookiee Who??

22 July 2008 by The Borg

The Nats have re-signed SS “Sister” Cristian Guzman to a 2-year extention, and traded closer Jon “Wookiee” Rauch to Arizona for a second-base AAA prospect. More to come…

Yowza - Bowden, Rijo under FBI investigation?!

11 July 2008 by The Borg

Could be, say MLB sources, to ESPN. Nats GM Bowden says he and the FBI were just having a harmless chat, but ESPN says that - while still early - he and Nats front-office advisor Jose Rijo are indeed under investigation in a probe involving illegal activity related to signing Dominican ballplayers. Stay […]

Random Helpful Coolness

23 June 2008 by The Borg

The Grammar Bitches on this blog (we know who we are!) should enjoy this one: There’s really no nexus here, but I stumbled across this site tonight while trying to find out exactly how many syllables are in Ronnie Belliard’s last name (according to the AP Sports pronunciation guide, 3. according to Mary […]

We Suck, And We Can Prove It - We Rest Our Case!

20 June 2008 by The Borg

I’m laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside at this. Duke Football has officially proven - in a court of law - that it sucks:
A Franklin, Ky., Circuit Court judge sided with a devilishly clever argument and ruled in favor of Duke University yesterday in a breach of contract lawsuit […]

Nice.  In The Onion today: Zimmy foul ball takes out Capitol Dome.

Very Cool Time Lapse “Video”

29 April 2008 by The Borg

I don’t care much about Fenway, specifically, but this would be cool if shot just about anywhere.
One Day At Fenway - Letus Extreme Film - Time Lapse - HDTV from Tom Guilmette on Vimeo
I particularly like when the entire crowd stands up. And then files out in seconds, while it takes “minutes” for them […]

PC Playing Keno?

15 April 2008 by The Borg

Fox Sports.com - the first national sports media outlet outside of Providence and Northern Virginia to report on the Providence head coaching job, it seems - is reporting that PC has it’s sights set on Drake coach Keno Davis.  A great score, IMO, if they can get him.  He doesn’t have the name recognition […]
