Wait, am I…am I rooting for the Yankees?!

What’s happened here? Everything’s gone topsy turvy!
Now, I’m a local homer. Doyers first, Angels second. But both of them were eliminated in the LCS. So who am I left to root for? The umpires? Eff them, they suck this year.
But as I sat in front of the TV last night, drink in hand (the way […]

Randumb Thoughts

Man Crush Update: Scoreboard Watching

I know it’s been a little while since I’ve been on here to talk about My Boy KERSHAW!1!, but that’s mainly because I didn’t want to brag. But now allow me to…

Professional Beer Leaguers

 
You know what I’d like to see. Major League Softball. Let’s face it. There are certain players around these days that are looking for the long ball and that’s about it. Hey there’s nothing wrong with that. There are also certain players that look like they have let themselves go a little bit. Hey, that’s […]
