I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Whether you are an ardent fan of Miracle Whip or prefer mayonnaise in its most basic form, you probably think condiments in general rock, and some may even believe that the newest fad is ” the greatest thing since mayo real or fake. Ordinarily, I’m not one to buy into the hype surrounding sports or…

For the most part, when I attend a professional baseball game these days, I’m focused on the game 98.6% because nobody really gives 100% of anything. That’s not to say I won’t leave early under certain conditions/circumstances, but I’m following the game pretty intently (scorecard in hand). Even if I’m shooting for an assignment, I…

I know Cardinals fans are honked off at management this season, but I figured they could draw more than 26,000 and change for their HOF weekend. Yesterday they honored Al Hrabosky, Walt Jocketty, and Edgar Renteria but drew flies. Maybe inductions to teams’ hall of fames aren’t the draw they used to be? In fairness,…

Thank goodness for postseason baseball! After one half, I’ve already conceded and will continue to focus on baseball. Even if I stay local and true to my core beliefs, I can enjoy if not fully understand the Cubs run for the top seed of wild card teams in the NL. The Cubs are currently doing…

Before everyone could legally bet on every aspect of a football game, fantasy football’s sole purpose was to involve fans in NFL games they would otherwise have no interest in. Heck, I named my team last year after the great Darnay Scott. A generation ago, the smart fantasy pick was bundling Scott with his QB,…

I only learned that tomorrow evening (Friday) the NFL will dominate with a game between the Chargers and Chiefs on YouTube. I should say, continue their media dominance as it will mark the second national game of the week. Everyone and anyone who isn’t in New York for the U.S Open will be watching the…

I have it on good authority that the Cubs and Mets won’t be playing in the same micro-division anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t pay attention to what’s happening with the Metropolitans. In recent years, the media has been obsessed with inserting, “first this or that since” in their description of every…

Despite the fact I get paid to be in school now as a substitute teacher, I’m no more eager to be here than I was as a student. And rather than discuss the angst I feel at the start of another year as it was stressful returning to college every summer. I’ll relate it to…

Every so often things come together but in ways you don’t expect. Yesterday I drove to Grand Chute, Wisconsin for the T-Rats home finale. They definitely won’t be involved in the MWL postseason. However, their opponents, the Quad Cities River Bandits are one of three western division teams fighting for the right to play Cedar…

Kyle Tucker went into the AS break with 17 homers and 59 RBI. Forgetting all of the noise surrounding his slump, who do you think will end up with more homers, Tucker of Sox rookie Colson Montgomery who has hit 16 home runs in only 170 at-bats?
