It’s October, and that means it’s time for the baseball playoffs. It’s the best time of year. While I follow baseball all season long, I understand that some people only tune in for the postseason. So, I figured I’d write up a quick and dirty rooting guide for those just tuning in. The World Series…
It’s October, and that means it’s time for the baseball playoffs. It’s the best time of year. While I follow baseball all season long, I understand that some people only tune in for the postseason. So, I figured I’d write up a quick and dirty rooting guide for those just tuning in. One wildcard game…
Baseball is my favorite sport. I could watch a baseball game any time and be relatively happy. It doesn’t even have to be my team, as long as it’s baseball. It puzzles me that the people who are supposed to be promoting the game don’t seem to agree with me. The commissioner of Major League…
October is the best. The weather is beautiful. The leaves change colors. And, most importantly, the baseball playoffs happen. The hard part for the casual fan, or the fan whose team didn’t make it, is deciding which team to root for. As someone who watches a lot of baseball, I think I can help. This…
February is my favorite month. I don’t exactly know why. My birthday is in February, but I don’t think that’s it. When I notice my birthday, it tends to be because something went awry. Either I’m sick and spend the day complaining about being sick on my birthday. Or the person who decides to take…

The 14th annual WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon starts Tuesday, August 18th and runs through Wednesday, August 19th. As an avid Red Sox fan, I have watched and/or listened to all 13 of the previous efforts. It is truly extraordinary what they manage in two days. Last year they raised $3.3 million and they have raised more…
Here we are at the All Star Break for the 2015 Major League Baseball season. I hate the All Star Break. It basically means three or four days without baseball. Sure there’s the All Star Game itself, but it’s not a real game. I might have wanted to watch this year if eight Royals had…
A while back, I wrote a post about an incident involving former Major League Baseball player and current ESPN analyst Doug Glanville and the West Hartford Police Department. It was kind of the perfect storm to set me off. I liked Glanville as a player and like him as an analyst. I find West Hartford to…
I was watching the Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks game on MLB last night. During the game, there was a score update showing the Angels lost their game when a batted ball hit the runner for the last out of the game. I only see an out caused by the runner being hit by a batted ball…
