Have you ever heard of something called a “pitch count”? I bet you have if you have any idea about baseball. Well our old friend Dusty Baker never knew what it meant. Take a look at this gamelog of Zambrano’s from 2004, but be ready to be pissed off when you look at how many [...]

Quick note: I will not be doing Today’s Links on weekend mornings due to the fact that nobody reads this shit on the weekends and also due to the fact that its a pain in the ass and I don’t want my girlfriend to leave me. Anyways, they will be back Monday. In [...]

College Football has begun. Thanks to StevieY19 for the great previews. To be honest I don’t really give a shit about college football or even Big Ten football most of the time. However, with the Illini’s precipitous rise to the top last year I have become more interested. (Please clear this question [...]

Here’s a little Friday video fun. G.W. taking a jump shot. Not bad. Not great either. He’s a decider, not a baller.

Soriano’s fielding has reached (and surpassed) the point where it needs to be addressed. I know that the media has covered this ad nauseum in Chicago, but after last night’s game where he let a single drop in front of him in a tight ballgame, I feel the need to address the issue. Well apparently [...]

Looks like the British ponied up the dough to insure Deng’s back. The only thing left is for the Bulls to sign off on it and for the check to clear. Luol Deng is a free man! Personally I’m not thrilled to have him possibly hurt, especially considering this saga has uncovered some disturbing [...]

Finally! An analysis of the Dream Team vs. the Redeem Team that is based on empirical evidence. Dream Team wins by the way.
CUBBIES!!! Sorry, I was at the game last night. Recap: Hamels was untouchable, but the second he came out it was HR, double, single, walk, granny. Rammy is the man. [...]

Just watch the video. It’s fucking sweet.

I forgot to put this in the links this morning, but honestly the story deserves it’s own post. Here’s Kelly Dwyer’s take on Mariotti, and I don’t think any assessment of his life, work and departure has been better than this one. Just a quick excerpt, but I recommend you read the whole article:

He took [...]

Another Manning gets the shaft. Daniel is no longer the primary nickelback for the Bears.
Pirates make Marquis look like Cy Young. They suck. Cubs win 2-0.
WBBM radio is going to cut away from the Bears preseason game with the Browns to broadcast Obama’s nomination. Where are the priorities in this country?
White [...]

College football season is approaching and for the next couple of weeks I’ll be giving you some quick previews of the Big Ten. All ten….ummm eleven teams will be featured. Today we have the defending champs: Ohio State.

Ohio State has dominated the Big Ten the past few season. They have been to the National [...]

There was only one gay male athlete competing at this year’s Olympics while being open about his sexuality. His name is Matthew Micham. The fact that this guy is out of the closet is really not that big a story. But things got interesting when this Australian Diver pulled off one hell of an [...]

VS.
It appears Zambrano has a new enemy on the mound, and that enemy is not any specific hitter or team. It isn’t his mechanics. It [...]

College football season is approaching and for the next couple of weeks I’ll be giving you some quick previews of the Big Ten. All ten….ummm eleven teams will be featured. Today is the one all (three) of you have been waiting for: Illinois.

First, let me get this out of the way…ZOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, good. Last season was [...]

Phil Jackson received an honorary degree from the University of North Dakota and while giving his speech, he touched on some interesting topics. The most interesting of which was answering the question of who the greatest player he ever coached was. According to Lakers Blog, his answer was a little mystifying:

“He could probably [...]
