I’ve been a little stingy with major plays in the NFL the past couple of weeks, as I haven’t felt strongly on most of the schedule. Things change this week. 3 of the strongest plays I’ve seen are taking place Sunday, including my NFL Game of the Year! (I’ve always wanted to be [...]

Sweeping Through the Competition
White Sox expert Scott Long said that they had the worst bench in the history of the World Series. Willie Harris gets a pinch-hit single and then scores the winning run to clinch the Championship. Geoff Blum, who I thought should have been left off the playoff roster, ends up hitting a homerun [...]

Time for Buck to Stop Here
With things going so well for the White Sox, you would think it would just be eternal bliss time for most fans of the team, right? Well, almost, as the one thing that I’ve heard from other Sox fans is how they are tired of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver making such a big [...]

Meet Your AL Pennant Champs: Pitching and Coaching Staff
If you’ve been reading my stuff at The Juice, the one baseball subject I’ve been consistent on in 2005 has been that the White Sox pitching staff is underrated.
While I’m not going to claim I even thought they would be as good as they turned out, the 2005 analysis from PECOTA was so dismal for [...]

Football Picks
Haven’t checked my overall record in the last couple of weeks, but I think I’m around 55% for the year. Not great, but a helluva lot better than the college picks over at Football Outsiders. If you’ve seen those choices, well I hope you’ve gotten rich going against them. This week I didn’t [...]

Meet Your AL Pennant Champs
Come on, be honest, you don’t have any idea who half of these White Sox players are. Oh sure, you’ve heard their names and have probably even seen many of them play, but the following will hopefully give you a better idea of how the 2005 White Sox have become one of the most unlikely [...]

2005 Playoff Baseball Blunder Countdown
Since I’m a White Sox fan, I had no idea what it would be like to go to a World Series, but I have to admit that it hasn’t felt as great as I would have expected. The Boston series was a little easier than I expected, but it was still thrilling, as the [...]

Lukewarm Football Picks
Last week I touted my overall picks, well I stunk it up on Saturday, as my Big 12 knowledge must be questioned after Saturday. So off we go for this week, but first, let me address one football issue. The Minnesota Vikings like to have naked ladies gyrate for them, when they go out [...]

Josh’s Boner
Let me begin by stating this is not a review of Jeff Stryker’s newest flick, but instead a breakdown of game 2 of the White Sox/Angels series. When I was just a tyke, I can remember reading about the Bill Buckner’s of their time, the passed ball by Mickey Owen and Fred Merkle’s baserunning [...]

Playoff Comments and Red-Hot Football Picks
I’m really happy that the rest of America is getting a chance to see how the White Sox were able to win 99 games. Sure they have seemed to have had an inordinate amount of luck in 2005, but they also play some of the smartest, most entertaining baseball I’ve ever watched. I wrote [...]
