Mackail McGehee has cerebral palsy, but that did not stop him from throwing out the first pitch before the game. He also got to watch his dad Casey McGehee come off the bench to hit a pinch hit two run homer to help fuel a Brewers 7-5 victory over Washington and end their losing streak [...]
Is Petr Sykora the right guy for the Flyers?
Now as we’ve heard before this move for an affordable defense man is to open up room for depth at right wing. In one of our late night chats, Paul and I spoke about who the Flyers should bring in to fill the position. We mostly discussed Petr Sykora and Miroslav Satan. Paul liked the [...]
Bill Hohn Should be Suspended Immediately
Being the baseball addict I am, a guy who falls asleep every summer night to the sound of an exhausted ESPN highlight reel repeatedly slapping against the floor, who watchesVHS tapes of old Braves games just for fun, whose sum total of missed televised Braves games since 1989 isn&...
2000 And Scum: This Decade’s Best Villains

The Blackhawks’ off-season drama: Seinfeld style
I can relate every aspect of my life to a Seinfeld episode. I’ve met a woman in a grocery store, got her number, yet never asked for her name. I’ve strained a hamstring kicking out tucked covers in a hotel bed, chased after a rental car bus and will forever love to stop at the [...]
