I’m sorry, baseball: A formal apology

Published on 2011-07-28 10:40:27

If there’s one thing I (re-)learned about myself this week, it’s that I love sports. And not just watching games. I’ve been reading, voraciously, about proposed trades and acquisitions.

The sun seems to be shining brighter (and less oppressively, painfully hot) this week. I feel a spring in my step and a smile on my face. In fact, the weight of the world seems to have vacated my shoulders.  Yes. I am recently single once more and yes, I’ve come to terms with it.  [...] > read more

The joke’s mostly on me here. I’d wanted to start a whole new baseball-centric blog tonight. Got about three lines in, and ended up writing about imaginary April Fool’s disasters. Stupid weird brain. I really wanted to play a joke on someone to > read more

The Big East

The region. Not the conference. Although, with 11 teams in the mix, the Big East could ostensibly host its own region.  Instead, we’re going to focus on overall number one seed Ohio State’s corner of the bracket. Here’s what’s supposed to be > read more

I used to write a blog. I was pretty dedicated for a solid, say, four months.  I shared my (admittedly amateur) insights about football and, on two whopping occasions, basketball. I opened up about my mortifying knee injury and the subsequent recove > read more

Butler and Duke? Really?

If you know nothing about basketball, you had every bit as great a chance to predict this National Championship matchup as the next guy.  Even if the next guy analyzes basketball for a living.    I think the best example of the sheer insanity tha > read more

Well, ladies (and gentlemen?) the day has come.  Super Bowl Sunday.  Once that clock ticks down to zero in the fourth quarter tonight, the long months of empty desolation offseason will commence.  I hope I’ve helped cultivate at least a mild und > read more

How about that AFC Championship?  I think we can all understand why, precisely, Peyton Manning makes the big bucks. We’re now moving on to the NFC Championship.  And what a dream matchup it is – prolific QB’s, powerful RB’s and stout defens > read more

For many of us, this is the most emotionally conflicting few weeks of the football season.  We’re faced with (what are normally) fantastic playoff games, where everything is at stake.  We get four games a weekend for two weeks– it’s only a ma > read more

I should be ashamed of myself.  My absolute favorite of all athletic seasons has been underway for an entire month and I have yet to mention college basketball (or basketball in general).  I apologize for this.  Much in the same way that I initial > read more
