Thursday, July 17th, 2008Well, hello there. How have you been? That’s good, that’s good. Oh me? I’ve just been in Monument Park hangin’ out with my good buddy Mickey Mantle. It’s really no big deal:
Oh, you know Mickey too? Yeah? Well, perhaps then you’ll recall the outfield he used to roam in Yankee Stadium. You know, the same […]
Bloggers Are Going Bat-Shit in the Bronx
Monday, July 14th, 2008It’s tough deciding which blogger-in-the-Bronx is doing a better job so far: Chris Mottram for The Sporting Blog or Kevin Kaduk for Big League Stew. Both work for big media, so each is afforded the opportunity to go to New York, and both are directly connected to yours truly, so each is of the lowest […]
White People Are Good at Dancing
Monday, June 2nd, 2008If you read me over at TSB then you already know that I made my first voyage to Asheville, NC this weekend. (If you didn’t know that, then why the fuck aren’t you reading TSB? You’re dead to me.) If you aren’t familiar with Asheville, allow me to sum it up for you in four […]
Meet the World’s Most Literal Brewers Fan
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Upon seeing Milwaukee play the D.C. nine, it can be said that the Brewers join the Wizards as teams that should certainly go back to their old colors. It was evident throughout the Park as the vast majority of visiting fans wore vintage Brew Crew Blue, with this guy serving as Milwaukee’s finest:
What follows […]
Wiz-Cavs III: Impossible Night for LeBron
Friday, April 25th, 2008The Blog Show Three — Littles, Steinz, me — hit the whited out Phone Booth for a star-studded Game 3, which turned into a 36-point Wizards win. It was an epic night, and instead of cramming it all into one massive post, I’m breaking this up into five or six parts. So consider this the […]
Photo Essay: My 1st Game at Nats Park
Friday, April 11th, 2008Thanks to Comcast SportsNet, I scored last minute tix to Nats-Marlins for my first trip to Nats Park. And, while I wouldn’t even begin to know where to find a beer on the outside, and the fans were middling on the inside, she’s a real beaut. Not a Camden or PNC-esque gem, but a damn fine stadium nonetheless.
I took […]
Our Chance Encounter With The G-Man
Monday, March 17th, 2008If you live in ACC country, as we have our entire lives, then Mike Gminski — better known simply as The G-Man — is pretty much synonymous with college hoops. Over the years, having heard him countless times throughout the basketball season, Jamie and I have developed a sort of G-Man impersonation that is surely […]
Boom! Goes the Maryland Student Body
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Was in College Park last night for Maryland’s win over UVA and am starting to think the Terps aren’t so shitty after all. They lost back-to-back home games against Ohio and American but have gone 7-2 since, with a win at UNC and a close loss to Duke.
UVA hasn’t won on the road since November […]
