Making a Deep Fantasy Baseball Run…

It’s almost time for fantasy football, and that means that your fantasy baseball playoffs are coming real soon.  Are you in?  Did your team hold up against the DL fest that was the 2010 season? Hopefully, I’ve got a few tips to let you make a good playoff run this season: Guys to pick up : Mike Stanton – OF – Florida Marlins : This guy has been on fire.  He’s 20 years old, batting .333 with 19 RBIs and 9 HRs in the past 30 days.   Luke Scott – 1B, OF – Baltimore Orioles : Another recent…

Vincent Jackson traded to Seattle Seahawks

Today, I finally get to do my best Adam Shefter impersonation.  “Sources” tell me that the hold out from 3 San Diego Chargers players are going to result in a few different outcomes, one of them being Vincent Jackson getting traded to Seattle. Shawne Merriman has already arrived at camp after signing his restricted free agent tender, so he’s going to remain on the Chargers roster, but from the personal information I’ve gathered, he will not be accompanied by Pro-Bowl receiver Vincent Jackson. “Sources” tell me that Jackson is going to resign with the San Diego and then immediately…

The Live Blog Strikes Back

3:27: Ok, this live blog is starting a little late and a little early.  I wasn’t gonna start until the bottom of the 7th but since Halladay is about to piss away a four run lead, I thought I’d start now.  Here’s a prediction: Jose Reyes is going to tie this game.  He has owned Halladay all day.  It’s a foregone conclusion.  In other news: What the F Halladay?  Aren’t you supposed to be an ace?  This is terrible.  He never pitches well in big situations.  This was one (since it looks like ATL is gonna win and we…

Some Helpful Tips for Tiger Woods…

We all watched Tiger Woods crash and burn this weekend, shooting his career worst 18 over par in 72 holes.  Bogeys, double bogeys, missing putts from 4-5 yards away, hitting people in the stands…. it was awful to watch.  What’s even sadder is that his scorecard still looked amazingly better than my typical scorecard… but alas, I think I’ve created a couple great tips for him to get ‘his groove back.’ 1. Tiger should be able to punch any person spectating the round. – If he truly is the greatest golfer in the world, any fan would be pleased…

Inception Review: Beware Berenger

Man, writing a Blog, about the movie Inception, and listening to the new Arcade Fire album.  Now that I have every middle-twenties, middle-class white boy stereo-type covered, let’s get to the review shall we?   I really enjoyed the heck outta Inception.  It was smart, cool, and very, very entertaining.  It had almost everything that you need in a summer movie: 1.) Great lead actor (check).  Oh Leo.  SWOOOOOON. 2.) A very attractive in a mousey-sort of way lead actress (check-plus). Glad to see Ellen Page no longer has to support herself by doing Cisco commercials. 3.) Cool supporting cast…

Who’s this guy Brett Favre?

Shame on you ESPN.  This is just poor journalism.  For what I would call a good majority of the day yesterday, ESPN covered a story saying that Brett Favre sent texts to fellow teammates announcing his retirement. They covered this story for at least 6 hours.  Every interview they had with anyone relevant to the sport “had not confirmed this story” but yet they ran this same story all day, breaking down new Vikings QB scenarios, and recapping Brett Favre’s entire career. So the next day, I turn on my Sportscenter, and ESPN is running a story that these…

Domonic Brown, Doc Halladay, and Roy Oswalt walk into a bar…

A few weeks ago, the Phillies seemed hopeless.  The team has lost 11 of 18 since July 1st.  They dropped 7 games back in the division, and their offensive rank in the NL had dropped from 2nd to 12th.  Although the Phillies line-up was often reduced due to injuries, on July 22nd, Charlie Manuel said goodbye to hitting coach Milt Thompson in an attempt to shake up the ball club.  Greg Gross, the former hitting coach, replaced him, and it was met with immediate success. In fact, as of now, success is a poor word.  It’s been perfection.  The…
