Angry email of the week
In response to the Power Rankings:
FEEDBACK: Hey man, Just looking at your picture on the website, have you ever played a day of competitive sports in your life? I highly doubt it. So it’s a mystery to me as to why they would ever let you do the MLB power rankings…
Chronicle of a Disaster
My mom needs to sign up for Facebook in order to access something or other for an upcoming college reunion. I have assisted her in this task, even though she claims to want no part of anything beyond access to that information. By nightfall, one of the following things will happen:
1. She will change her mind. Dorree from Raquette Lake says hi!
2. My phone will chime repeatedly with questions...
Angry email of the week
In response to the Power Rankings:
FEEDBACK: calling Gardy’s decision making sad? the only thing that’s sad is you being in a position to offer opinions on sports to the masses….i was at the game today and punto went 3-4, made a great play at third and stretched a single into a double…..yeah, he mostly sucked at the plate last year, but his energy and fielding were a big...

Good pitching and good hitting and good defense wins ballgames.

From yesterday’s recap:
«We should talk about the painting, shouldn’t we? On the wall of Widmore’s office there was a canvas featuring a balanced scale, one side holding a white rock and the other side holding a black rock. Assuming the painting means something (historically speaking, this has not always been the case), we could interpret it to mean that in the Sideways...
Rays over Rockies
I got home last night right before game time, so I didn’t have a chance to weigh in before the Yankee season went up in a plume of smoke. With that bullpen and Granderson clearly unable to touch lefties and CC looking like he ate the World Series trophy, they’re clearly doomed. Doomed, I say.
