Patrick I have to say I am very confused by this turn of events. Barry Bonds was recently convicted on one count of obstructing justice. There were a total of five, one was tossed by the judge immediately, there was this one conviction and a mistrial was declared on the remaining three. Now, as best as [...]
March 31st, 2011 Patrick It’s finally here. Let the regular season of baseball commence. I know that many parts of the country still have regular temperatures in the 40s and 50s, but opening day is always fun. I remember opening day in 2005, I was so happy the White Sox had won their first game. Little did I realize [...]
October 12th, 2010 Patrick Well, I’ve only been granted half of my World Series wish so far. Minnesota couldn’t last with the defending champ Yankees, but the Giants did manage to eliminate Atlanta to advance to the next round. I hate to see Bobby Cox retire without at least making the series, but such is life. I can remember [...]
October 11th, 2010 Patrick Who’s your team for the 2010 MLB postseason? Do you want to see the Yankees repeat? Do you want to see the Cincinnati win after wallowing in obscurity for years? I would like to see two things. I want to see Minnesota make it to the Series and lose to San Francisco? The Giants, now [...]
September 1st, 2010 Patrick I’m not sure how to feel about this one. Manny Ramirez has quite a reputation as a slugger. He also has a reputation as a bit of a prima donna. I hope that we get more of the former and little to non of the latter. Ozzie provides enough character for the whole team, he [...]
August 6th, 2010 Patrick Here’s my take on A-Rod’s quest for 600 homers. Think back a few years ago, when Barry Bonds was hunting down the all time HR record, and people wanted the record book to contain asterisks next his name for every record he has. After Bonds toppled Aaron and retired, there was talk of A-Rod possibly [...]
July 13th, 2010 Patrick I have always been a Chicago White Sox fan, and part of being a fan of the AL in baseball was a pre-requisite to hate the New York Yankees. And with someone like George Steinbrenner out in front, driving up prices by paying for big name stars, it was real easy to hate them. Steinbrenner [...]
May 10th, 2010 Patrick Dallas Braden, of the Oakland A’s, became only the 19th player in the history of baseball to throw a perfect game. 3 batters, 3 straight outs, for 9 straight innings. No walks, no base hits, just 27 retired batters in a row. The reason this is such a monumental feat is that with the umpire [...]
May 5th, 2010 Patrick One of the last great names in radio for baseball has passed. Ernie Harwell, longtime voice of the Detroit Tigers, succumbed to cancer yesterday. For thos of you who are not baseball fans, it may be hard to understand the significance of a baseball announcer. I grew up in Chicago, and even though I root [...]
May 4th, 2010 Patrick I just watched the video of that 17 year old who ran out onto the field during the Phillies-Cards game. If you’re not familiar with the story, security used a taser gun to subdue this kid since running onto the field is a misdemeanor and cops have authority to tase someone who is fleeing. The [...]
