As the Chicago White Sox were working on the final outs of their Monday game against Detroit I knew what was going to happen.
All season I had promised the wife that I’d take her to see the White Sox, and while we did see them in Baltimore I knew she’d only truely be happy if [...]

The Baltimore Orioles announced yesterday to the amazement of no one that since the organization was going to miss the [...]
Let’s get this blog right. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed writing here and there in this blog until well… I almost couldn’t anymore.
At first I was like “oh well if its broken, then maybe I can actually find a topic and stick to it”. I even thought of names to use for the [...]
There was a time after the All Star Game when the Atlanta Braves were sitting on the fence. Would they attempt to buy at the trade deadline or would they be sellers? The team fell out of contention and later traded away star first basemen Mark Teixieria.
Last season the Braves finished 84-78 and with a [...]
Sometime tonight the wife and I expect to load up the Forenza with our son and all the usual road trip needs and head off to Maryland for a week.

Baseball has the World Series, and softball… well it has the Olympics. For now….
It seems hard to believe that four years have flown by since the last time I watched women’s softball. Perhaps even sadder is that after these Olympic games it’ll be gone, maybe forever.
Cat Osterman graced our televisions in 2004. Even from Greece [...]

After getting a few sniffs of big league action the last two years Ryan Sweeney knew he could play in the majors. All he needed was a chance to play his position. That chance came this winter when the team that drafted him, the Chicago White Sox, traded the then 22-year old and others to [...]
