In other news.
Well, at least Vettel didn’t get yet another Grand Chelem. But he does have five wins in a row now, and has the championship all but wrapped up. Boring. In other news, however, the Bathurst 1000 once again proved to be … Continue reading
V8s on the Mount
Once again, the time approaches for the Bathurst 1000. V8 Supercars, Australia’s equivalent of NASCAR, both in popularity and noise, but different in that they make both left AND right turns, returns to Mount Panorama this weekend for a 1000km romp … Continue reading
…and again.
I ended up being pretty close to the mark, as the final results were: VET, RAI, GRO. I learned a new phrase because of this race: Grand Chelem. This is the racing equivalent of a hat trick or grand slam. … Continue reading

Vettel on top. …again.
Another Grand Prix. Another pole position for Sebastian Vettel. I mean, I get it: the guy is at the peak of his abilities, and he’s driving a car that has been engineered to within an inch of its life. But … Continue reading

About that NASCAR comment…
Oval racing is, in fact, really hard. Staying on full throttle for that long is exhausting and mentally draining for even the best of drivers. But lawdy, is it boring to watch. (To me at any rate.) However, I’ll make … Continue reading

So first things first…
Graves said he wanted me to write stuff about cars on here. Now, I’m not a “car guy” in the truest sense of the word. I have never torn apart and reassembled an engine. I have never owned a muscle … Continue reading

2013 MLB Preseason Predictions
It’s Opening Night in Major League Baseball and that means I’ve got just enough time to submit my preseason predictions before I look like a total slacker. You’ve all read about 10,000 of these by now, so there’s no real … Continue reading

It’s My Time to Shine (Against Adolescents)
I think I’m going to play in the Little League World Series. Now I realize that there are “technically” some age limitations that will prevent me from doing so, but if the California team can get away with running Bradley … Continue reading
Boston Red Sox Suffer Biggest Loss in November
My Faithful Readers, I come to you today with a heavy heart. I’ve just received some news that can only be described as devastating, heart-breaking, gut-wrenching and/or super-duper sucky. Boston’s blonde bombshell of baseball, Heidi Watney has officially parted ways … Continue reading
I Almost Died Today…Maybe
It is entirely possible that I’m being just a tad hyperbolic, but let’s make one thing perfectly clear folks, Bostonians—especially those shell-shocked by an unanticipated collapse in an athletic endeavor—are a fragile group of people. Last night, as many of … Continue reading
2011 MLB Predictions
Many of you may not know this, but it’s actually a federal requirement for all baseball bloggers to post their misguided preseason predictions. Okay, it’s entirely possible that there’s zero truth to that, but this is the one time a … Continue reading
It Might Be About Damn Time To Get My Shit Together
Much of my adult—or whatever you call your mid-twenties—life has been spent dreaming of a career that involves either writing or baseball or—in some perfect world—writing about baseball. (Note: I’ve recently made peace with the fact that I won’t be … Continue reading

The Champagne is On Ice…
Let’s be honest, this is undoubtedly the best Minnesota Twins team that the club has had since 2006 and—arguably—the best overall team since the club’s fortunes turned around at the beginning of the last decade. As such, I’ve decided to … Continue reading

2010 MLB Draft: Minnesota Twins Select Alex Wimmers with First-Round Pick
The Minnesota Twins drafted Ohio State pitcher Alex Wimmers with the 21st overall pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. This is the second-year in a row that the Twins have used their first-round selection on a highly-touted collegiate hurler. … Continue reading
2010 MLB Draft: Fifteen Targets for the Minnesota Twins
The Minnesota Twins are often praised for doing things “the right way.” This sentiment—although cliché and not entirely accurate—generally defines the organizational importance placed on pitching, defense, small ball tactics, and player development.
