I jog one hundred miles every day! Would you believe it? One hundred miles! Would you believe fifty? How about two push ups and a deep breath? -Get Smart
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Just a fun little factoid I ran across today. A fun little take you abacktoid I ran across today. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are both 27-20. You know what that means boys and girls? That means they are tied for first place in the American League Beast. The Al Beast, where men are men and the games matter. Doesn’t sound like such a big deal; but what if I told you it’s the first time that the Bombers and Sox have been tied for first place this late in the season since June 17, 2006? Huh? Huh? What if I told you that? Would you believe it? How about two cops in a rowboat? Read More »

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town. Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down. -Eagles
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Rookie rookie, who gets the cookie. Ricky, that’s who. Ricky’s the big winner. Ricky wins. Ricky won last night. Last night Rick Porcello won against the Kansas City Royals. He may have lost three of his first four starts but you can forget about that now. He’s won five in a row now. How about that? How about this? Porcello, twenty years and 151 days young, is now 5-0 with a 1.50 earned run average over his last five starts. Yowza! Only one pitcher in major league history as young as Porcello went 5-0 with an earned run average of 1.50 or better over any five-start span. Wanna know who that guy is? Sure you do. That guy is none other than Dwight Gooden. Doc, at age 19, went 5-0 with a 1.43 earned run average over a five-start span in 1984. Read More »

Lakers 103 Nuggets 94: I know, I know. I said Nuggets. I was wrr. I was wrrrr. You know. But this is worse for the Nuggets than it is for me. For those of you keeping score at home, the Lakers are now up 3-2 in their best-of-seven series against Denver. For those of you keeping score at home, this is the 18th time that a Phil Jackson coached team is up 3-2 in a best-of-seven series. For those of you keeping score at home, Jackson’s team won sixteen of the previous seventeen such series. For those of you keeping score at home, the Nuggets are in trouble. Read More »

(ESPN 9PM ET) I like the Nuggets in this one. I like the Nuggets because I like Chauncey Billups. I like him a lot. I like him the way I like Tom Brady. The way I like Curt Schilling. He’s what the kids like to call a money player. He was money with the Pistons when he brought home a Finals MVP. He’s still money. This season, he led the Nuggets to a franchise record fifty-four wins. This season, he’s taking the vaunted Lakers to the brink. They don’t call him Mr. Big Shot for nothing. Get your popcorn ready!

I…am…number one. No matter if you like it, here take it sit down and write it. -Nelly
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Finally some good news out of Titletown. My beloved Celtics got ousted by the Orlando Magic. My beloved Big Bad Bruins got ousted by the Carolina Hurricanes. Yes Virginia, my beloved Red Sox are still in the thick of it. They’re still my pick in it. Still got some kick in it. But I was really in need of something more. I got it. I got Tom Brady. When there is trouble, I’m there on the double. From Atlantic to Pacific, they know Tom Terrific. Sports Illustrated knows Tom Terrific. Thanks guys, I needed that.

Here you come again, just when I’m about to get myself together. You waltz right in the door, just like you done before, and wrap my heart ’round your little finger. -Dolly Parton
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What in Holy Heck is going on here? Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria! What is this? Turn back the clock night? It’s been almost five years since Eric Milton and Carl Pavano earned victories on the same day. It’s been almost five years since Eric Milton, pitching for the Fightin‘ Phils, improved his record to 7-1 with a win at Atlanta. It’s been almost five years since Carl Pavano of the Marlins, defeated the Mets for his fifth win of the season. Sweet sassy molassy! What’s next? Big Papi and Derek Lee go yard on the same day?
