You deserve to lose. I'm just saying. You have Courtney Lee or Jammeer Nelson? You can use one of them. I mean, really. Otherwise? I'm getting down to 3 conferences of major football, with the last week of school and my ******* catalytic convertor tapping out? I need to make...

I know, you missed me on Friday. This does not play twitter methadone by any stretch of the imagination. My apologies. I also have the greatest post in college football history coming down the pike. It's down to half of the Big 12 and other conferences. You will discover me again...

And Mazel Tov and L'Chaim to him for it. He extended his career by three years beyond the ace point to get it done. But unlike Dale Murphy, he got there. (And as a sidebar? Dale Murphy hanging on to get stuck at 399 dingers is probably what kept him out of the Hall). But what...

The Pirates get room for a player I'm high on in Andrew McCutchen as well a major league ready prospect in Charlie Morton. If either Gorkys Hernandez or Jeff Locke come to being good for Pittsburgh, it's a deal that will help both sides. There's not much more to say. Glavine...

Read Hugging Harold Reynolds tomorrow. I'm not going to tell you the exacty whys and wherefores? But suffice it to say it will be the usual brand of quasi-amusement. I'm going to tell you now. Set your comedy levels to seven. You will enjoy yourself.

According to Ric Bucher's twitter account, Jameer Nelson is going to play. Not start over Skip to my Lou. But he is going to go. And that's going to be big. Not just for the Willis Reed psychological boost. It's because Jameer Nelson was the reason they handled the Lakers...

I'm seriously confused. Honestly. It's a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but I have to work this out in my head. How in the blue hell did Matt Joyce spend the last two months in Triple-A?Now if you remember my post on December 11th of last year, you know exactly...

If you're not going pro, I've got two words for you. Avoid Texas.You might say I'm nuts. After all, a scholarship to Texas is a nice balance of work and whimsy. You have an opportunity for an excellent future. And there are always a handful of players who get drafted every...

By now, you know my hatred of George Karl. And someone who has no inbounds play and a team that falls apart if their point guard has a bad game, he gets what he's deserved. Goodbye and good riddance. But the Eastern Conference finals? In the words of Robert Evans, wow. There was...

LeBron James is a special player. He took the Magic down by himself today. And you know what? I'm feeling bereft. Really. I feel myself slipping toward a place I don't want to go to. For you see, LeBron James is on the Tebow scale of athlete hatred.Why Tim Tebow? Because in...

I've done this before. A long time ago to be sure, but I've done this exact sort of thing before. I like my street cred, such as it is. And you don't get the street cred for reading the X-Men. That being said? There are some comics you should be reading. Count it back from...

Those of you who actually read me for me are feeling abandoned for my twitter, which will have twice as many updates as the old blogamaphone by June 1st. But to borrow a line from JE Skeets? There's a new conspiracy.There is no conspiracy.Now sure, LeBron still trips over his own...

I can't follow you. It's not you, it's me. I can't vote in your district. It's not even that you and I belong to different parties. You seem like a sane Republican, and corruption is corruption. My vote could have been won if I was in your district. But...

I always thought he was a ballhog. Now, what that says about me as a five or six year old is something for the ESDM-IV to decide. But you know what? I saw true greatness tonight. I'm know I'm not the most original take on this matter. But that was one hell of a shot. But...

You see. I live in Wisconsin. I was born and raised in Wisconsin. This means my basketball fandom is inexorably tied to two things. Nellieball and the George Karl era. You see, like most sports fans of the 80's, I grew up watching sports with my dad. Juan Nieves means a whole lot...

Okay, let's talk Jake Peavy. It all depends on the package the Padres would accept. Because you know what? The Brewers have no pitching prospects. They have names on a list. And if you consider that the Brewers history with pitchers is a dark one? (Outside of Sheets and Gallardo...

Did you know I hate George Karl? It's true! He broke my basketball team. He could not co-exist with a rational human being in Ray Allen. So you know what he does? He trades him for Gary Payton. Nobody likes Gary Payton outside of the Pacific Northwest. That takes the corp from...

Back during the days of building the Brewers, that was the mantra. Dougie Baseball is a canny trader. And he was able to get good value from the assets that he received. Even when fans didn't believe that he got enough? He got enough. (Remember the haul for Carlos Lee? He made...
