Did you end up saying Jay one more time? I dared you after all… which makes sense if you remembered last week’s creepy get together, as we partook in my glorious proclamation that Jon Jay was a good thing for your 21st week of scoring. Also, that Kevin James was his own stimulus bill for the […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?The Pirates and Cardinals played a marathon game yesterday. 19 innings that saw 47 lineup changes, 16 different pitchers and 12,000 fans at Busch Stadium leaving simply because the beer cutoff was in the 7th inning. “This is baseball sober? Damn, I’d prefer a third divorce.” Tim Kurkjian’s voice is cracking at the sheer craziness […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Given how much he was touted during the preseason, you’d think Shelby Miller would’ve already surfaced in St. Louis after injuries to big league starters Chris Carpenter and Jaime Garcia.

Please, blog, may I have some more?As a rule of thumb, I figure the best way to fully concentrate on writing these articles is to put on a god-awful dance movie in the background.

Should I tell him I’m worried the medication will lead to a sloppy, uninteresting post? How could I ever in all my wildest dreams hope of topping last week’s Naked Gun post, especially caught in this […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?You know how when you turn on the lights in my bedroom, the cockroaches scatter? Well, maybe you didn’t know. Okay, say Hodgepadres are the cockroaches and the lights are from any stadium but Petco. You following the analogy? Good, let’s add another layer. Now, I lay my pillow down on my Kinko’s-made, Michael J. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Dale used to work down on the docks. Union was on strike, he was down on his luck. It’s tough. The Padres closer goes on the DL.
