Home Run Derby

Monday, July 14th, 2008

ESPN started the night out with images from the first half of the season.  It was very moving.  I totally got choked up watching it.  Some chicks cry at kleenex commercials, I cry at sports videos.  I know, I’m a dillweed.
Longo hit 3 homeruns.  He didn’t seem to be gellin with his pitcher.  His performance is […]

Game 72 - Cubs vs. Rays

Can I just say, “Wow!”
Musical positions + dueling starters + off duty relievers + superhero grand slam = sweep??  Wow.  Chicago 3 - Tampa 8.

Game 6 - Rays vs. Yankees

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Pregame - All day long I was looking forward to watching the Rays game on ESPN, and hearing a fresh take.  It never occurred to me that the game would be blacked out.  I know why it never occurred to me though.  The Rays aren’t usually on ESPN!  It’s Hammel vs. Mussina so this should […]
