I have promised several people that I would tell this story,
and now I am. Let it be known that the
story, as I am telling it, is true.
Others would claim that I am not being truthful and that I was actually
guilty of what the officers accused me of.
I assure you, I was innocent. I
did not do it. It does sound like
something I could be capable of, but I ...

* *** Since we are leaving soon , we are going to Turn Back the Clock a little bit on some of our best posts. Here is Buck's first trip to Wrigley Field from last July. I have been on somewhat of a miniature ball park odyssey this summer. Thus far, I've travelled to Busch III, Roger Dean Stadium, RFK Stadium, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and am planning on going to Safeco ...

One of my most respected colleagues in my fantasy baseball league just did the unthinkable......he traded Alfonso Soriano. When I got the email notifying me of the trade I just winced and wished I had been the one trading for Fonzi. Year after year I tell this intelligent gentleman that he only needs to make it through a rough April with Soriano and then he will be repaid for his patience ...

Kueth Duany of the Syracuse Orangemen meets President Bush. Duany is a native or war torn Sudan, but the product of good old Bloomington, Indiana. If you are one of my friends, you have probably heard me bitch about
Bono. I have no problem with U2, I just think Bono's advocacy of
Africa is bunk. Why? Well, because I think his role has been lauded
as important ...

Before this year, I lived in NYC. During my time there I learned a lot of things; Pop = soda, a regular slice is simply just cheese, the 2 hour window for a free transfer can make or brake your day, John Rocker wasn't exactly lying about the number 7 train, and George Steinbrenner will always make front page news with his comments about the Yankees. Since then, his two son's Hal ...

* *** Since we are leaving soon , we are going to Turn Back the Clock a little bit on some of our best posts. Here I am pushing for Ronny Cedeno to get called up to the Cubs last season. This post was originally run on July 5, 2007.
You guys remember this guy, right? The best Cubs shortstop prospect since.....I guess Shawon Dunston. When lil' Ronny Cedeno was with the Cubs last ...

While I will be a Cubs fan until
the day I die, every season I pick an
American League team to follow and become a fan of. This allows me to learn about a new team, new players and know a little bit more about the AL and since I can never get enough ...
**** Since we are leaving soon , we are going to Turn Back the Clock a little bit on some of our best posts. This post was originally run on December 19, 2007 and was extremely insightful. Some background: When I first started to think about this blog, I originally had planned to collect information from time to time during the next few weeks. I began my collection today; I ...

Yeah, it's gonna happen. Former Cardinals CF Jim
Edmonds is on his way to signing with the
Cubs and....it's actually a smart move by the Cubs. That was difficult to write. I really, really, really don't like Edmonds, but you know what? I want to win ...
I know a little bit about horses. One of the benefits of being a poor farm kid
from Indiana
is that I know a little bit about horses.
This is still a sports site, we aren’t dead yet, and with the
euthanization of Eight Belles the sport of horse racing is on the pages
again. The problem is that horses die,
sometimes in a very public fashion and at rates easily deemed ...

That is not a typo. Since our ' soft launch' on May 10, 2007 we have posted 1,000 entries. One thousand posts divided by a leap year tells me that we've had about three posts a day for our year of existence. Not bad. Throw in the 6,300 comments we've had and.....well, I'm not sure what it means in the grand scheme of things. For those of you who have read every entry and been here the entire ...

I'm probably the biggest Felix Pie supporter out there but when I read this morning that he might be heading back to Iowa .....I thought it was a good idea. I like what Pie brings to the table with his speed and defense but he's just not ready to hit in the major leagues. While he's dominated in the minor leagues, he just hasn't been able to translate that into success in the majors and ...

**** Since we are leaving soon , we are going to Turn Back the Clock a little bit on some of our best posts. Here is Buck's conclusion to his adventure with his Cougar from August 2007. Click Part 1 to read the beginning. So, where did Jack leave off? Oh yes, the ride to the airport. Now before we get to this much anticipated "Conclusion", I think everyone needs to know that this is my ...

By now you probably know that Hoosier Nation and the entire Internet is going crazy about Tom Crean's statement about Eli Holman transferring to Detroit Mercy : "We were led to believe that this was a family decision and that he
wanted to get closer to home, but now it doesn't look like that's the
way it's going to turn out,'' Crean said. "I don't think there's any
doubt that there was a ...

Yes, the series was last weekend but A) I haven't written about it and B) there was a request for it, so here are some random thoughts about the series that the Cardinals won. - I'm still not sold on the Cardinals in the long-term but right now they look pretty solid. They pitch well, they get on base and, for the most part, they play fundamentally sound baseball. Tony LaRussa is obviously a ...

**** Since we are leaving soon , we are going to Turn Back the Clock a little bit on some of our best posts. Here is Paine's post after the passing on former IU Head Football Coach Terry Hoeppner, which ran on June 20th, 2007.
My father only has one son, and like many sons, I will one day have to eulogize him. It isn't something I want to do, and it isn't something I look forward to. I ...

As if going 4-9 over their last 13 games wasn't bad enough, it now looks like the Cubs are quickly coming to the conclusion that they need a left-handed hitting power hitter in the middle of their lineup. If only they had listened to me before the season when I said Kosuke Fukudome wasn't going to be that guy. Look, Fukudome has been really good so far....even better than I thought he was ...

After a year in Oakland, Dominic Rhodes is returning to the Colts' stable to find his place in the gates for the 2008 season. I can't help but be excited about this addition. What was perhaps the thinest position in the Colts roster prior to the draft, running back is now a position that I believe will be a cornerstone for the Colts this year. More inside...

Coming into the game today Reds 1B Joey Votto had 4 homers and 14 RBI's on the season. Respectable numbers for an up and coming power hitter. He's not exactly putting fear into your heart before the game but he's someone to keep an eye on if you are looking to help your fantasy baseball team. Through six innings today he has 3 homers and 4 RBI's lifting his season totals against just the ...

It initially ran on May 22, 2007 and it is back today for your pleasure. Hopefully we lived up to our initial intro's.....let us know.
I waited a week to write up this welcome introduction because.....I ...
