I always feared this day would come. Edgar’s Double, 1995 That’s not just 50 seconds of baseball radio announcing, that’s vindication for everyone who lived in the Northwest from 1977 to 1994 and followed the local baseball team despite its historic ineptitude. Dave Niehaus was the man who made people think that following a bunch [...]

Went to PNC for a couple of Pirates games on their last homestand (they lost the second game — stupid Padres). Great park, great atmosphere, seems really well run and their aren’t any potholes in the concourses, which makes it feel like you’re not in Pittsburgh. Coming in from the east (or south), the recommended [...]

Best sporting event ever. Well, not counting the MNF game, which, arguably, *was* the best sporting event ever. That I attended. Although the ’90 BYU-Miami game was pretty amazing also. And the USA-Costa Rica World Cup qualifier. But, yeah. Comparisons are hard. And sporting events are better when the right team wins. Assuming JL ever [...]

This article r0x0rz (as do many of their articles). Much praise. Although it seems to indicate that I should have kept FictionMock going. bkd (Here’s a good FictionMock sample…)

All the convenience of a stadium built in 1923 with all the charm of one built in 1976. The building itself seemed unfortunate. Was there back in June and, yes, am just now getting around to saying anything about it. Watched the Yankees play the Reds. I gave up Yankee-hating a few years ago and [...]

Because my life-goal is to take up every hobby on Earth for a good, solid six-week period. Anyway, here’s me and my new, non-robotic best friend (I have a weird-looking chin now apparently): Here are the vitals: Everything: 2006 vintage. Shimano Dura-Ace components (9×2 gearing). Carbon front fork, seat post (Easton). Mavic Ksyrium (no, not [...]

Prove me wrong. bkd

Fine, I’ve never been to one of their games, but still. I was there when they re-started the program after it had gotten Title IXed out of existence, so I’m stoked that UC-Irvine’s baseball team is heading to the College World Series five years later. Too bad I don’t have a TV, otherwise I could [...]

Watched the last couple of Seattle-San Diego games on MLB.tv. Am unfortunately stuck with the Padres’ broadcasters. The two clowns they got think they’re drive-time disk jockeys. The only thing they love more than the Padres is the sound of their own voices. Absolutely embarrassing. I’ve also never heard announcers more ready to complain about [...]
