Damn! Another pop out?!?!
7th Inning. Game tied vs the Nationals 3-3. Ken Griffey, Jr. up to bat. Runners in scoring position with 1 out. Charlie Manning (who?) pitching for Washington. Superstars live for this kind of moment, right? Superstars are paid big money to produce runs, right? Ken Griffey, Jr. is 2nd in the All-Star [...]

Hey! Look kids! Big Ben!
Although I have traveled quite a bit for my job, I have yet to travel out of the country. Wait…that’s not true. I DID work a golf tournament in Montreal a while back. And that IS considered being out of the country. However I didn’t need to purchase a passport and [...]

You can shove this bike up your A@#!!! You motherf&%^%#!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Today was my 3rd spinning class. No, I’m not going to continue blogging about each class. That would be torture for you and reliving something I’d rather not relive for me! However I’m finding things out and getting ideas and so I like to [...]

You Will Do As I Command…
I remember when I was 16 and loved riding my bike. I would bike from my house to my high school to play basketball in the summer. Then I would bike back home (about 5 miles) and then bike back that night to play basketball again at the town square. [...]

Watching the highlights of last night’s playoff game between the Celtics and Lakers, I was in awe watching Kobe drop in shot after shot against some pretty good defense. As much as I’ve been trying to avoid all the of hype surrounding this marquee matchup between 2 of the NBA’s most historic teams, I have decided to [...]

Ken Griffey, Jr. hit his 600th career home run last night. It happened before a sparse crowd of about 10,000 people down in Miami where they must have been giving away signed NFL footballs to get THAT many people there. It’s a sad state of affairs when an outstanding player hits a milestone and there [...]

Hittin’ is easy…it’s the zits that drive me crazy!
So the latest, greatest athlete to ever put on a Reds uniform started in centerfield Tuesday & Wednesday night. Jay Bruce, the 21 year old phenom, is 4 for 6 (.667), with 3 walks, 2 doubles, a couple of RBI and a few runs on his resume. Not [...]

This is a pretty strong statement considering the flux that the Reds always seem to be in. I’ve thought this for a couple of years now. I affectionately refer to Phillips as “Willie Mays Hayes” from the movie “Major League” because of Phillips’ love for playing the game and the smile he always has on [...]

Not really. But I had to see if I could get my friend Jon Braude to actually look at my blog. I don’t know anything about Syracuse Lacrosse. Apparently it’s pretty awesome and they must be good. Let me take a quick look…just to satisfy whoever might actually come across this…
Let’s see…apparently they were 13-2-0 [...]

I’m not a betting man…but I gotta pick some ponies! I honestly have no idea how to read these forms and all of the numbers blend together, so I am picking this year’s winner by who has the coolest name.
Actually, most of the names are pretty lame this year…Recapturetheglory? Z Fortune? Cool Coal Man? Lame…
