What a great game it is! Fox Saturday baseball could not have delivered a more enjoyable show today. After the Yankees trailed 0-9 behind another shameful start from Freddy Garcia… I started doing school work. I’ve never seen a nine run comeback, and frankly with our pitching looking the way it was, this seemed like … Continue reading

Linkin Park Releases ‘Burn It Down,’ New Album and Honda Civic Tour to Follow
If you’re like many Linkin Park fans you enjoyed the band’s first two studio albums–Hybrid Theory and Meteora–but only a smattering of their newer songs. The trouble is that Meteroa, the bands second album, is now nearly a decade old. The good news is that if you’ve stopped following Linkin Park it’s time to get back … Continue reading

Two months ago I previewed the release of Shinedown’s first studio album since their 2008 release of The Sound of Madness.

Andy Pettitte To Rejoin 2012 Yanks For An Encore
Some unexpected news came out of Yankees camp this week when retired Yankee legend, Andy Pettitte, got the “itch” for pitching and decided to come out of retirement to rejoin the already improved 2012 New York Yankees.

Lakers Do The Unthinkable, Trade Fisher To Improve
This news hit like a punch in the gut. Uber fan favorite, Derek Fisher, is no longer a Laker. Mitch Kupchak, easily one of the most well-respected GMs in professional sports, separated himself from emotion to improve a Lakers team that has earned a deplorable 9-14 road record (18-2 at home). The new collective bargaining … Continue reading
Ryan Braun Vindicated, Will Not Be Suspended
As I wrote back in November, shortly after the National League crowned its MVP, Ryan Braun is one of my very favorite players. Just shortly after claiming his first ever MVP award, it was made public that he tested positive test for performance enhancing drugs. His urine was found to have elevated testosterone levels. The public nature … Continue reading

AJ Burnett Will Have New Faces To Pie In 2012
258 walks later, AJ Burnett may be looking at his last day as a New York Yankee. After three up-and-down years in New York (mostly down) and the additions of Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda, the Yankee front office is looking to shed some payroll by finding someone to take Burnett’s plump contract off their … Continue reading
The National League Will Be Junior To The American League in 2012
With Prince Fielder and King Albert moving to the American League, the junior circuit is primed to retake its long-held position as the superior half of baseball. After 13 seasons without an all-star game victory, the National League has won the last two All-Star Games and the last two World Series. Pretty impressive, I’ll admit, but … Continue reading
