The Worst World Series Team? Oh and Football Picks Go 6-4.
Are the St. Louis Cardinals the worst team ever to play in a World Series. No honestly, I really wonder. Let’s go over really quickly what they bring to the table. They have 3 all-star regulars in Pujols, Rolen, and Edmonds. All 3 are banged up to a certain degree. Actually, [...]

Baseball Playoff’s Big Whiff
As a baseball fan, I’m really trying to get into this year’s playoff’s. I would really like to tout the greatness of this season’s Final 4. I just can’t do it. I will always remember the 2006 Playoffs as the year without a great team. After the past 2 years, which culminated [...]

TV Toaster Meets THEJUICEBLOG

Football Picks for the Week
Hit 2 of 3 on my 4-star selections, but besides my best bet on New England crushing, the rest of my NFL choices tanked it. Still doing well on the star basis, as my big picks are coming through, but overall just a little above .500 for the year.
Colleges
3 star LSU(+2) Florida
3 star Arkansas(15.5) [...]
