All this talk about going to Mars and colonizing it is cool and all, but I’ve seen Total Recall and I shudder at the thought of the racism from the natives when we get there. “Go back to your own planet!” “You FOSs! Why do your eyes look like that?” “You filthy, hairy beasts. We […]

Back in the biblical day, the Philistines had a mountain of a man, Goliath, who challenged the Israelites to single combat. He was massive, with accounts describing him from 6’9″ to 9’9″.

Yes, I’m an old f’er, which segues perfectly…not Son Segwaying over to Grey’s neck of the woods in Los Angeles….Although, that would be fun, but the over/under on me getting splattered all over the concrete is 1 mile. Anyways, before I begin this […]

Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” I always assumed that since Forrest was an optimistic simpleton that he viewed every piece in the box as good, so it would just be different variations of good. But even the most ardent chocolate lover would […]

John Connor did not exist until Kyle Reese was sent back to protect Sarah Connor from a terminator. Then the bee did something to the bird and voila! Connor became the messiah to bring down the bots.

If you know what the title is in reference to, then congratulations are in order. You’re an old f’er. I wasn’t into punk music, but the Ramones were one of the OGs and, like the smell of cheese making Jerry float in the air, that is likely how it entered my consciousness. Anyways, I had […]

Like Jesus, I often seek out the downtrodden and outcasts that populate the fantasy streets. We are both Sons after all. But this space is not limited to the less fortunate. I show no bias or discrimination towards race, age, production, weight, height, team affiliation, batting stance, throwing motion, curvature of the hat bill, use […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?That is both terrible and uplifting at the same time. You’re a liar if you say you didn’t crack a smile and pump a fist or two. Unlike Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli, Jose Iglesias of the New York Mets is not a one-hit wonder. He has 36 this season and 1,087 in his 12-year […]
