My cynical side is starting to get the best of me. The Pirates just happened to score six runs in the 2nd inning last night. The walkout was scheduled for the 3rd inning. Have the Pirates scored six runs in a game this year much less in an inning? Coincidence or fix? So the big walkout...

The problem is an old one. For centuries, the white man has been using blacks for cheap entertainment. Be it singing or dancing or sports, it has been our history. In the old days it was Bojangles. Then it was the Harlem Globetrotters who dazzled the white world with their athleticism while...

I was watching a SF Giants game and they were getting hammered. Beck was the closer but there was no way he was coming it to pitch in this game. That is until somebody noticed that the Giants had given up at least one run in each of the first eight innings. Only twice in the 20th century had a...

Morneau taken out of the stadium on a stretcher after a home plate collision. They said he would probably miss a few games but will be fine.

Tejada's consecutive games streak ended tonight at 1,152 games. I couldn't be happier.

With TV ratings for many sports shrinking lately, it got me thinking. Has the internet become more popular than TV? I know it has with my teenage kids but how about us?

I actually dropped out of the fantasy baseball league I had been in for four years. The league did not have weekly matchups so it came down to who had the better stats at the end of the year. It was sort of like the MLB season, once you get too far behind you can never catch up. I like the way...

Since football teams are always trying to recruit track stars to play wide receiver maybe baseball teams should look to recruit javelin throwers as pitchers. I think it would be interesting to take the top 5 javelin throwers and see how fast they can pitch a baseball.

There are quite a few surprises so far in MLB. White pitchers are really dominating though, more than usual it seems. Plus there are some new white faces at or near the top of the pitching charts. Don, how's the fantasy baseball going so far? An all white team could be a powerhouse in baseball.

Just visited the black QB site. It is pathetic. Outdated, incomplete and meaningless. The 'Get the Gear section was hilarious. They couldn't even put a picture of all the past and present QB's on the site, only some of them. This project will go nowhere if the website is any indication of the...

Seeing as SI has recently done an article on Jake Peavy and the influence Greg Maddux has had on the youngster, how about some predictions for how many wins Maddux will end up with when he retires. I would like to see him finish this year at approx. 348 wins. He would need 15 wins this season to...

Getting back to the value of dogs. Here in NJ dog owners are required to register their dogs and all dogs must have a dog tag with the owners name and address on it. Your dog must recieve his shots yearly or you will get fined if caught. If you want to have the dog put down you must provide a...

Don, don't you know that Woods shot a historic round yesterday. You should be proud that whenever this majestic round is mentioned in the future, you can proudly say that you were there. Just kidding of course. The best moment of yesterday's round was when Tiger's par putt on 18 missed...

Harold Reynolds is back. But not with the greatest job in the world. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd =20070611&content_id=2020388&vkey=pr_mlbcom&fext=.jsp&c_id=m lb

Fantasy Football has actually helped Culpepper. Except for Viking fans, fantasy owners tend to judge a players worth by their fantasy production more than their on-field worth. So, the average fan might have no idea that Culpepper has no leadership skills or can't produce in crunch time. Vick...

After watching teams mug Dirk and Nash to slow them down it seems strange to me to watch Detroit give LeBron James such an easy go of it. I see him go right down the middle for easy dunks while the Detroit players just clear out. I know this post is heading in the conspiracy direction, but where...

This reminds me of the book about the 1972 Steelers titled, 'About Three Bricks Shy of a Load'. The book was written by Roy Blount Jr. and recaps the season from an insiders perspective. Terry Bradshaw was still a raw QB back then and struggled a lot. The fan favorite was Terry Hanratty but...

If I wanted to win a Super Bowl, I would not want either one leading my team.

Got home around 8:00pm last night and tried to find out if Phil had won. The rolling ticker on the bottom of the screen on ESPN2 did not recap the golf. They gave the usual big four sports plus the MLS, mens and womens LAX and NASCAR. I guess with GOD out of contention, ESPN felt no need to...

I've known for a long time about the conflicting philosophies of liberals and conservatives, but this story is pushing my buttons to the extreme. I just cannot believe there are people that see the world so much differently than I do. At Virginia Tech University, there is a memorial for the...

CONGRATULATIONS COLONEL REB!!!

Reading that article, I felt just like one of Coach Matthew's players. I felt like crying, crapping and vomiting all at the same time. The Little Rock 9 had it easy compared to any white student today unfortunate enough to attend an inner city H.S. Amazingly, despite all the supposed hate...

I read Tatum's book. It was pretty insightful. It seemed to me that he was pretty honest about his football experience. It's been over twenty years since I read it but I remember some things he said very well. He looked up to Woody Hayes, his college coach. In fact, he revered him and...

Did anyone else see the celebration of Florida. Joakim Noah ran up what looked like 100 rows of bleachers to hug his mom. Of course, Noah is the mulatto florida player whose white mom was shown more than once during the game. So it was no surprise to me when the CBS camera followed his climb up...

The Tiger hype this week is as bad or worse than its ever been. Just relentless.
