Happy New Year from Bill O’Reilly and Phil Donahue

After a contentious 2004 at thejuiceblog.com, we were a more toned down version in 2005. Well, I thought what better way to begin 2006 than to present some video from Fox News. As they like to say, YOU DECIDE.
Happy New Year to all our readers. Hopefully 2006 will bring another World Series title to [...]

Schizo Scott on Prior, Zito, and Git’R Done

You might have started noticing recently that I’m actually linking things in my pieces.  Toastmaster Ken Arneson has installed some rad tools at the place we write, which I think will make for a more enjoyable read at The Juice.  (Now if only I had a human proofreader.) With the advent of these new tech shortcuts, I [...]

College Bowl Selections & A Recruiting Rant

I love college football.  The energy, the pageantry, and all its other BS just sucks me in.  The dirty little, but not much of a secret is the disgusting world of recruiting high school athletes.  We all know how filthy the whole recruiting biz iz, with the farther south you drive, the more sleazy it becomes. [...]

The Juice’s Top 10 Albums of 2005

Scott: One of the great things about having your own blog is writing on whatever subject you want to. While baseball is our main focus at The Juice (no really it is), music has always been our second most covered subject and it always seems to get the most comments. So here is the [...]

Holiday Cheer and the Football Picks

Last week was a bit of a slow down going 2-3, but I’m still 12-4 for the past 3 weeks. Hopefully you’ve been on board recently, using these choices to beat your bookie. Remember, the goal is to make your man lose so much lettuce that he has to quit bookmaking and go [...]

White Sox Conductor Says All Aboard the Bandwagon

Just like about everyone else, I’m shocked that the World Champion White Sox would be so active remaking their roster. I’ve been meaning to comment on their additions, but every time I’m about to post; another deal comes down the turnpike. One thing that has been interesting is how so many haters of [...]

The Two Baseball Writers Who Are Must-Reads

Just like there is a division between old school and new school GM’s, the same goes for baseball writers. For the most part internet writers, be it at Baseball Prospectus, Baseball Toaster, Baseball Primer, etc. take the sabermetric angle, while newspaper writers follow the scout’s route. While I’m more in the sabermetric camp, [...]

Gorge Away

Recently I was eating at a Chinese Buffet when at the table next to me; some selfish bastards cellphone went off at least 6 times over a 20 minute span. As annoying as this is, it was trumped by the ringtone being AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”. Now I like Angus and the boys as much [...]

How are the Football Picks? Try 10-1 Over Past 2 Weeks

Yeah, you read that correctly. Last week gave out 3 picks in the NFL. All winners. With colleges off this week preparing for the Bowl season (look for preview next week), it’s another all Pro’s week. At this point of the year, you have to search hard for which teams have [...]
