Just kidding.  Hey, we’re heading into the slow period………. until spring training.

Congratulations Giants!

On their unlikely run to the Super Bowl.  What is a little overlooked here is that makes three straight road playoff victories for the team and for Eli.  Eli was great yesterday.  Never lost his composure – he made some minor mistakes but NO PICKS and as everyone saw, interceptions in the post season can [...]

The Searching is over….

Whoever said there is a fine line between genius and madness certainly had proof positive in Bobby Fischer, whose death was reported today.
In 1972 his defeat of Boris Spassky for World Championship was a big deal. A brilliant player, he also played mind games with Spassky that made Machiavelli look like Homer Simpson. Unfortunately, Bobby was whacky [...]

I’m back…

Ok, after a miserable few months…I am back and can think about baseball again. I apologize for being a non-contributor for so long.
So are we getting Santana or not?

A comment about the congressional hearing

I read Jayson Stark’s blog on the congressional testimony, which was pretty good.  At one point Jayson stated that 1 out of every 4 questions asked of him went on to say something like: “Why is Congress wasting time on this?  I want a tax refund!  I can’t believe my taxes go to fund this?” 
Let [...]

Amen!

Mike is right.  Really.  Do we need to know the daily thought process of Hank Steinbrenner?  We don’t want strategy conducted in the papers – you tend to get less out of a deal when you do that.  But even despite that, it just looks silly – one day it’s “this” the next day it’s [...]

Hank….Discretion is the better part of Valor.

Enough with the Flip-Flopping on Santana, Hank.  First it was we won’t give you Hughes!  Then it was ok, we’ll give you Hughes but you have to decide by Monday.  Then it was we’re out of the talks.  Then it was “The door is not closed”.  Then it was the Yankee offer is still the [...]

Reading between the lines

Clemens is not to be believed in my opinion.  It was reported yesterday that Clemens’ lawyer was meeting with lawyers working for the Congressional Committee.  The stated purpose of the meeting was to work out details of deposing Clemens, but I believe that’s just a cover story and that they are discussing the framework of an [...]

Peace

Mitchell gets alot of credit for peace in Ireland, but I think the economic incentives to corporations and the resulting prosperity had more to do with the peace that came than Mitchell and Clinton.  That’s not to say he is not to be believed in his steroid report.  I heard today that Mitchell claims Clemen’s [...]

Yes but

Sunday, Coughlin only had to be a better coach than Wade Phillips, so, for me, and as they said at the end of “Hamlet”, “the rest is silence.”
Mark Kriegel’s column on Fox site today had some good lines.  (I would like to read both his bio’s of Namath and Pete Maravich, by the way). He [...]
