"Hi, I’m Vin Scully, and welcome to sunny Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium, where the Dodgers are finally at home playing their arch rivals, the San Fransisco Giants. The Dodgers opened the season on the road, going 4-2 after opening the season in San Fransisco, then on to Arizona. Today the Dodgers play their first home […]

Forget all the other games. They were just appetizers, a warm up for the real start of the baseball season. Dodgers-Giants, 4:05pm EST, 4/5/2005, is truly Opening Day. How does a kid who grew up on the Joisey Shore become a Dodgers fan? Oh, you didn’t ask? Never mind. PS: go read Basil on 61

Maybe I should have put this post about Barry Bonds in the Raving Moonbats category. The man knows how to deflect. Barry Bonds sidestepped a peppering of steroids questions in the very way teams avoid pitching to him — and did it with the same prickly demeanor that has defined him for years. Bonds angrily […]

25 years ago today, the United States amateur hockey team defeated the Soviet Army’s team in the Olympic games 4-3. Do you remember Al Michaels “Do you believer in miracles? YES!” This wasn’t even the gold medal game (which the US won.) This was a bunch of unknowns, kids really, beating the great Soviet team, […]

Playing with some new/old toys. Since there will be no Stanley Cup Finals this year, let’s pick the champ. Since the strike of 94-95, the New Jersey Devils and the Detroit Red Wings have both played in 4 Cups, and won 3. You choose. I have also included the Tampa Bay Lightning, since they are […]

I love John Kerry. I love Howard Dean. Hillary’s large ankles excite me. I am so confidant that no one will read this about the NHL that I can get away with writing something like that. Today, the NHL will certainly announce the end of the season. No Stanley Cup given this year. All over […]

At the risk of pissing off any Philly fans, here goes. How bad is it to be a fan of a Philly sports team? Phillies-first and only World Series Championship, 1980. In existence since 1883 Eagles: Last Championship, 1960. 2 others in 48 and 49 Flyers: last Stanley Cup, 1975. One other in 74. This […]

Seems that a few folks are getting psyched up for the big game around the Triangle: In the last week, police said thieves have hit the store at the Streets at Southpointe twice, stealing 200 bras worth more than $8,000. Around $1,100 worth of bras were stolen from the Victoria’s Secret at Durham’s Northgate Mall. […]

Not that it makes all that much difference at the moment, with the NHL season sure to be cancelled for the first time ever, but, my team, the New Jersey Devils, have finally reached an agreement with the city of Newark to build a new $310 million arena in time for the 2007-2008 season, finally […]

In case not many people knew, I am a huge hockey fan, and have been a NJ Devils fan since they came to NJ, via Colorado (the Rockies) and Kansas City (the Chiefs). I love when the Devils win Cups. I love when they go to the Playoffs. I love having one of the best […]
