Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

Looks like Curt Shilling has a tear in a tendon in his right (push-off) ankle and may not be able to return to pitch again this year. Pedro pitched well enough to win, but didn’t. Now the Sox are down 2-0. Ben Jacobs at the Hardball Times holds out reasons for hope, but also says…

I participate in a few fantasy football leagues each year. This is the 4th year of a 16 team, 3 player keeper league that I’m in with some friends and I’ve already had some very tough luck. My first pick in the initial keeper draft 4 years ago was Ricky Williams. He’s not going to…

In response to Tom’s comment, here’s how I got everyone. Many of them I picked in the draft before they were superstars and kept them. Alex Rodriguez: I took him with the third pick in the first round of our first keeper draft in 2001 (after Pedro and Randy Johnson). I’ve kept him since that…

I’m in very good shape right now in my fantasy baseball league with about a 20 point cusion between my team and the team in second place. I’ve won the league the last few years and have a decent core of keepers, but the team I have now looks a lot different from the team…

My fantasy baseball team in my keeper league has been steadily climbing since a very slow start that first month. I’ve climbed from last or next to last place in the first month to first place with a ~10 point cushion. I’m going to have some tough decisions to make for next year’s keeper squad.…

I watched Barry Zito pitch against the Tigers last night because I’m still trying to decide if I should keep him or AJ Burnett for my team next year. In the games I’ve seen, Zito’s main problem has been with his command, getting beat when he misses his target. Zito pitched well, but what I…

The trading deadline is always interesting. The Nomah trade really surprised me though. I thought (hoped) that Seattle would move Boone and Guardado, they are just wasting money on them at this point.

I played volleyball on Tuesday for the first time since moving from the Bay Area. I used to play at least once a week, but the long layoff has certainly taken my legs from me. My body is quite sore. In the Bay Area, the leagues and open gyms are indoors all year and there…

I participate in two fantasy baseball keeper leagues and it’s been a season of patience in both of them. In the league I run, I was down in the bottom 3 spots after the first month and frankly, it didn’t look good. I thought I’d had a good draft, but my guys just weren’t producing.…

I posted a couple of video clips of my swing in my Golf blog. I’ve actually got the clips stored on my TextDrive account. The TextDrive account seems to be very nicely set up. I’m mainly planning to use it for extra storage and bandwidth. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing the…

A perfect game at age 40, amazing! Like most Mariners fans, I have very fond memories of Randy Johnson’s wonderful performance down the stretch and in the post-season back in 1995.

I’ve often wondered why teams don’t move their best hitters up in the lineup more. I think many teams would be better off throwing their mediocre #2 hitter in the #9 spot and moving everyone else up a spot. This would give an incremental number of additional at bats to the team’s best hitters over…
