Under the Lights: The Playoffs Begin! (Sort of)

What a fantastic fabulous wonderful day here at MLJ. Hef atoned for all his past discretions by giving us the Stat of the Day. I opened my soul about the Mets. Spencer continued his tour of College Football stadiums and Fetch told us about his heavy vomiting. He also mentioned tonight’s game. That [...]

Three Hours Of Death: A Preview

That’s me at 6:30 tonight. I thought about putting up a picture of a guy flipping a coin, since that’s essentially what tonight’s game is, but this is much more true to form.
162 games just weren’t enough to decide the AL Central race. Tonight Nick Blackburn takes on John Danks. Although it’s nearly impossible to [...]

The College Football Experience: Part II, The Pac-10

The Pac-10.  God I hate USC. 
Today’s examination will be on this forsaken conference.  Despite not having the geographical and societal disadvantages that make the Midwest and South football crazy, there is a certain zeal and passion that can only be found on the left coast.  There is a certain panache that the Pac-10 has when [...]

Quality Start: Great Effort, Tigers

I’m not going to say that the Tigers gave this game away, but they might as well have, a fitting capstone to what has, easily, been the most disappointing team in MLB this year.  The way they went out paralleled their season, spelled it out to a T.  They went out like cowards, cheats, spoiled [...]

Under The Lights: There Is A Game

Well, what a boffo bangout day we had here at MLJ. Lot’s of things were written and importantly read so that’s nice. Truthfully, I am exhausted and sad and I hurt and I can’t grasp the loss of the baseball season. At least the Mets season. But alas, unlike my brethren in Boston, I [...]
