Yesterday, I was watching the Red Sox playing the Orioles on TV. The game was in Baltimore. It was the bottom of the 10th and the Orioles were at bat. My wife walks in to the room and sits down with me.
The pitcher throws the ball and the Oriole at ...

The 2008 season was a tough one for me because my son insisted on being a Giants fan, rooted against the Redskins, and just basically decided to actively root against any team I wanted to win.
At the beginning of this, the 2009, season, my son totally abandoned the Giants and ...

My son hit a walk off home run in his t-ball game last Sunday. Pretty exciting, you would think. However, it's not really. It's really just a coincidence.
My son is in a beginning t-ball league. They are just learning the fundamentals. The games last 3 innings. Every kid bats every ...

On Labor Day, we took the kids to the final home game of the Bowie Baysox, which is the Orioles' AA minor league affiliate.
Minor league stadiums are a lot of fun. They are much smaller than a major league stadium, so every seat is great. You can clearly hear the ...

I'm a Redskins fan. Always have been and -- although rooting for the Redskins seems to be an exercise in futility -- always will be. The Baltimore Ravens stadium is much closer to my house than the Redskins stadium. They are also a much better organization from top-to-bottom than the ...

I'm really not sure what is going on with my son. I think he gets some sick pleasure out of rooting for the opposite team that I am rooting for. I mentioned a few months ago that he is a Giants fan, which is like a knife through the heart.
During ...

I'm not sure why I'm awake. My sleep schedule is totally out of whack. I was on a good roll and feeling really good. I think most of that was due in large part to the boot camp exercise class I was taking. When the 8-week session ended, I decided ...

Here's a comment I made note of in yesterday's Redskins-Seahawks game. I don't know who the announcers were. I don't think I ever heard of them before. For the most part, they were better than Brian Billick.
It was about 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter. They flash Clinton Portis' stats ...

Brian Billick was the color commentator for the Redskins-Lions game yesterday on Fox. I think he is the worst booth guy in the history of sports. I think he mispronounced Santana Moss's first name about 6 different ways during the game. One time he called him Santonio Moss. I think ...

Every time my daughter tells me she had P.E. in school, I ask her the same question:
Did you play Pringle Can Hockey?
Every time I ask that question, she gives me a look like I'm crazy. I know that there's absolutely no chance that she played Pringle Can Hockey, but I ...
