Note to MLB GMs: The Little Moves Matter

The Yankees just spent $51 million on Derek Jeter. Yankee fans seem pretty happy that our Captain is back and a PR disaster was averted. I’m fairly pleased myself…I guess. The Yankees are now trying to sign Cliff Lee whose contract is expected to be in the $150-175 million range. What bothers me is we … Continue reading →

Jeter the Villian?

Rumors run amuck, but from what I’ve sorted out, the Yankees have offered Derek Jeter a three-year $45 million contract. For the record, Derek Jeter is 36 years old and coming off a .270, 10HR season. Derek Jeter and co. have reportedly countered with six years, $150 million. That’s $25 million per year for six … Continue reading →

Venting On Clemson

Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips’s emotional, passionate, cool, trendy, thoughtless, easy, and wrong hire of Dabo Swinney is looking worse and worse as Dabo once again led Clemson into a road environment and left winless. Alumni Stadium in Boston was quiet and half empty just like Clemson’s offense. Props to Kevin Steele though whose … Continue reading →

Clemson…Where nobody gets fired: Follow-up

After a weekend of Clemson athletics we learned that maybe the soccer team is coming around and maybe the football team won’t. Where Credit’s Deserved First year men’s soccer coach Mike Noonan coached Clemson to a draw with #11 Boston College. It felt like a loss because Clemson scored early and BC scored the equalizer somewhat … Continue reading →

What Earns the Title of Music?

I found this question posed on another WordPress Blog, and thought it was interesting enough to post here and share with you. I’d love to hear what you think. I’m also very interested in what Tommy thinks. I know he loves emotional music, but does bland sell-out type noise constitute music if it invokes emotion in … Continue reading →

Album Review: Rooney – “Eureka”

Crazy intense hard rock band, Disturbed, is not the typical type of band I’d like, but man they are talented. Their guitar work is impressive.  I am looking forward to listening to the rest of their new album, Asylum. So far I’ve listened to the title track, “Asylum” (with the instrumental intro they call “Remnants”) … Continue reading →

Watch it Over Again

Sports fans love to complain when there’s a blown call. Choruses of boos routinely come from the bleachers, targeted right at the poor referees who 99 times out of 100 are doing their best and deserve the benefit of the doubt. Instead of complaining why don’t we fix the problem? Football, being less of a … Continue reading →

Red Sox Treat Their Players Like Garbage

Johnny Damon’s decision to veto any trade to the Boston Red Sox further affirms my long held belief, that the Red Sox treat their players like garbage. After Damon’s tremendous contributions to the Red Sox franchise, they refused to give him a reasonable contract. The very next year they gave J.D. Drew a more lucrative contract than they offered to … Continue reading →

Why The Yankees Shouldn’t Sign Cliff Lee

This offseason the Yankees will most likely lose 2/5 of their starting rotation. Javier Vazquez has an expiring contract and is unlikely to be resigned while Pettitte will probably retire. The void will have to be filled somehow, and most Yankee fans want to sign the ace they missed at the trade deadline, Cliff Lee. Lee, will … Continue reading →
