Ozzie Guillen: Manager?

When the White Sox chose Ozzie Guillen as manager, I was horrified, as Ozzaroo was one of the worst statistical players in baseball history. With a lifetime OBP of only .287 (.23 points above his batting average) and a slugging average of .338, Guillen’s miserable .625 OPS could only be surpassed by his [...]

Air America Review

So I’ve spent a few days listening to the channel and here are my thoughts. It should be noted that these shows are all in their infancy, so I would guess all of them will get better over time. As someone who has appeared on over 100 different radio stations, I realize how tough [...]

XM Radio Lovefest

I’ve had an XM radio since it came out and I can say that XM and TIVO are the best technological inventions, since the internet. (By the way, the internet was created by Al Gore. Just want to feed the right-wing dismissal of my beliefs. I’m willing to admit that Gore [...]

2004 Season in Review: Final Installment

(This is the last of 3 part series)
With all the talk about drug testing for players, why aren’t we more focused on the real addicts, big-league managers. From Jack McKeon?s geritol abuse to Bob Brenly’s Retin-A habit, manager?s drug addiction is baseball’s dirty little secret. It should be noted that despite these substance problems [...]

2004 Baseball Season in Review: Part 2

Have there ever been a more diverse duo in the dugout than manager Ozzie Guillen (constant unintelligible chatter) and bench coach Harold (speaks less often than Grasshopper) Baines? It?s like the White Sox hired Penn and Teller to coach the team.
Surprise prediction for AL MVP: Rafael Palmiero. Combine going back to the friendly confines [...]

2004 Baseball Season in Review: Tigers Stun the World!

One of my favorite things to read is the end of the year capsules on Major League Baseball. Knowing that I have neither the contacts nor the resources to write a quality season in review, I figured the best thing I could manage would be to write the first one. So here is [...]

Some on this weblog have made the point that anything that isn’t directly related to baseball should not be discussed here. Who made the rules on that? I brought up Martha Stewart and Henry Kissinger because they were shown attending the Yankees home opener. As I mentioned in a past response, Bill [...]

Criminal Celebrities at Yankee Stadium

Watching the Yanks/White Sox game, they showed celebrities in the stands like Martha Stewart and Henry Kissinger. What’s sad is that Ms. Stewart will be going to the slammer for making $60,000 bucks on insider trading, while Kissinger has never been tried for his murderous crimes against the world, as Nixon’s Secretary of State. [...]

In regards to the Godfather question.
Maybe Sonny, when I was back in HS, as I had some curly blond hair at the time. Though in the book, Puzo described Sonny with a horse like appendage, so maybe not. (My last name is not complete truth in advertising. My middle name should be [...]

FAQK

Welcome to my blog. I will only make one promise and that reading my rants will probably change your life. Keep in mind that my words often make people follow me like I am the reincarnation of Jim Jones or David Koresh (without the pesky belief in God thing). Despite this ability [...]
