We’ll get over this eventually, but I inadvertently stumbled across this picture just now, so…hooray for the San Francisco Giants, their championship, and their apparently crippling aversion to mirrors. Yes, it’s not the kindest picture we could have found. But it will give you the correct reaction, which is an urge to call the authorities [...]

Cody Ross also has terrible facial hair.

I refuse to be sorry because my team is good.

So, as you may have noticed, the Philadelphia Phillies were in the NLCS for three years in a row. Twice they made it to the World Series, which they won once. This year they lost to the eventual champions. These are, by any standards, fairly good outcomes for a baseball season. When all your friends [...]
Sports fandom is not a zero-sum game.

There were prime-time NFL games during not one but two World Series games. Incidentally, these were both good baseball games. Neither football game was that interesting. Sunday Night Football got better ratings than Game 4; Monday Night Football lagged slightly behind Game 5. This state of affairs as a whole is unsatisfactory. First off: yes, [...]
Big Time Timmy Jim is big-time.

But not big. At all. Hilarity ensues. Fair play to the Giants. And stop saying you don’t have any superstars just because you don’t have any roided-up monsters who hit hundreds of home runs. Pitchers rate superstardom too.
NLCS Worst Facial Hair Awards

Perhaps football facemasks are hiding some doozies, and we’re too distracted by horrible tattoos in the NBA, but baseball seems to take the cake in players with hideous facial hair. This is certainly true in the MLB in general, but some combination of topicality and their actually being worse than average has led us to [...]
The NBA season starts one week too early.

I’m sure it’s clear to readers of this blog (and people with souls) that no month of the year comes close to being as awesome as October. There are some Philistines who will probably argue for April–start of baseball, end of March Madness (which seems like cheating), and the start of NBA and NHL postseasons, [...]
Major League Baseball and Jesus return on the same day this year.

Is that not the best day ever? You get real baseball and chocolates! By the All-Star Game, the Peeps will be edible. If you’ve given up booze, you can knock back a few while watching the thrice-accursed New York Yankees open the season. If you haven’t, you can also do this. Baseball is not picky [...]
Go away, Mark McGwire, you’re hateful.

And you ruin everything. And also? We’re shocked. Shocked. No truly great baseball pictures have crossed my desk lately, probably since it’s the off-season, so instead we’re going to go with someone who doesn’t play baseball and better not use steroids: This picture makes me laugh every time I look at it, because stupid Alastair [...]
Cole Hamels is pretty good-looking, you guys.

So, sometime last year Kit and I were going to do a Cole Hamels point/counter-point on the question of whether he would be as cute if he were terrible at baseball, or even just less good at baseball. I said yes; Kit said no. So then 2009 happened, and Mr. Hamels was on my fantasy [...]
Point/Counterpoint: Playoffs are awesome. Duh.
Posted in Kit, tagged baseball on October 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ll be the first to admit that 162 games of baseball have a hard time holding my attention. By about mid-July, I’m looking forward to football. Here’s what the solution is NOT: get rid of the playoffs. The playoffs offer a solid month of constantly relevant, if not exciting baseball. It helps to make up [...]
