In terms of posts it was a slow morning, but the morning itself was anything but slow. In the wake of that alleged list of the 2003 steroid list positives, I put on my reporter hat and actually called sources and cross checked and wrote stuff down and everything. That's hard work! Someone please ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 7/10/2009 — I should call it my morning in Hell. I got four posts in over at the Blue Network when I was dragged into a meeting that probably didn't need my presence. Two hours later and I'm just now emerging, and no, I am not a better man because of it. And guess what? At 1pm, I have another meeting! ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 7/9/2009 — Not doing ATH this morning has completely thrown me off my game. I have no idea how I structured my day before I started writing it. And not just by blogging day. My whole morning schedule -- including my coffee, my shower, and my commute downtown -- was simply out of whack, and I think it's all ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 7/3/2009 — No work today, so I blogged from home. It's nice, though I'm not sure if it's less stressful than blogging from the office or not. On the one hand, I don't have to shower, shave, drive anywhere, answer the phone or work around meetings and stuff. On the other hand, in many important ways its ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 5/13/2009 — Sorry about the day off yesterday. I can assure you, what I was doing was nowhere near as fun as talkin' baseball:
The Yankees truly don't get it .
Mike Hargrove for Indians' manager !
Jose Offerman destroyed a man's career.
Was Dontrelle Willis really sick ?
Daniel Murphy ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/10/2009 — Conversation I had with a coworker yesterday:
Him : So, who are the Braves going to draft?
Me : No idea.
Him : [mildly mocking me] Really? And you call yourself a fan?
I quickly changed the subject. I'm surrounded by football fans in central Ohio who simply don't understand ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 7/2/2009 — Things I wrote while trying to decide whether it would worse to be a lawyer handling the Michael Jackson estate or a lawyer having to tell this woman's family that, no, there probably isn't a viable products liability lawsuit coming out of this. Wait, that's crazy. Guys will be lining up to file ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/8/2009 — Either there wasn't much news this morning or else I couldn't find it. Or I had a case of the Mondays. Whatever the case, it was sluggish going over at the peacock today:
I'm not the only one skeptical of Dontrelle Willis' anxiety diagnosis .
Is Big Papi poised to break out ? Warning: ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 5/7/2009 — Things that seemed important to me before the Manny news hit the wire:
Paul Janish > Bronson Arroyo.
Carl Crawford: Fast + Smart.
Bud Selig + visionary statements = scary.
One luxury car / two players = chaos.
Milton Bradley = insanity squared.
Finally, Bengie ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 5/26/2009 — It was a slow morning writing-wise for me as my bosses decided that we needed to have several meetings today to make up for not having any yesterday. God I love government service. I hope you citizens are thankful for my efforts. Ohio citizens anyway:
The Red Sox should make a deal . They ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/4/2009 — Two blogs? Why not? If you can't ride two horses at once, you shouldn't be in the circus . . .
An old player's career comes to an end. I suppose it has to be messy . It's not like we do viking funerals anymore.
I want to see Randy Johnson win his 300th game. I'd also like to see him do ...
Tommy Hanson May Be On Pace For 432 Wins —
Bleacher Report - MLB 6/30/2009
Like many of you probably did, I recently read Heartbeat of the Bronx's article about Chien-Ming Wang's ETA at 300 games.
That got me thinking, what about Tommy Hanson?
So, I used some proportions and found that in 12-and-a-half years (when ...
