I Love A Good Sailing Story

I found this over at TPM and wanted to reproduce it here (it’s from Ted Kennedy Jr’s remarks at his father’s funeral) :

Another Reason Not To Like The Yankees

Not content with inflicting that detestable “Gob Bless America” on their fans, they have to chain the exits so folks can’t leave while the dreck is being sung:

I Thought Sailboat Owners Were Better Than This

I have occasionally mentioned in the past that I like to sail. I even own my own sailboat. That is why I find this article to be appalling. Times are tough for people who own boats: Some of those disposing of their boats are in the same bind as overstretched homeowners: they face steep payments [...]

Who’s On First?

I can’t resist this legendary bit of baseball lore!

The Bowl Games

Hah! Take that Wisconsin! I’m glad Tennessee finally managed to win another bowl game! It looks like Mizzou is going to win as well. Now if Michigan can beat those despicable Gators… Update 1: The terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Gators go down in defeat. Hopefully, they will move to Australia (like Alexander wanted [...]

Nervous Breakdown Time

Missouri vs Oklahoma 14-14 at halftime…

Mizzou-Kansas

Don’t want to jink jinx anything but Mizzou is leading Kansas 28-7 with 1:11 left in the third quarter. Go Mizzou! Update 1: Damn! I have jinked jinxed it. Kansas got a touchdown. Mizzou now leads 31-14 with a little under ten minutes in the fourth… Update 2: Nooooooo! Kansas has scored another TD. Mizzou [...]

The Tiger Wants a Little Jayhawk for Lunch

Saturday at Arrowhead…

Cardinals Win the Series!

Strangely enough, the sun is out this morning in St. Louis (no that is not a metaphor, we finally have some sunshine after a week of clouds and rain). The Cheerful Oncologist has some great pictures (Celebrate!) and Orac links to a well written explanation of what when wrong from the point of view of [...]

I Blame the Hitler Zombie (shudder)

Orac has the goods on some stupid statements, about the stem cell ammendment here in Missouri, by the starting pitcher (Jeff Suppan) in tonights World Series Game. Clearly, the Tigers have sicked their supernatural, brain munching furher on Jeff Suppan. How else do you explain the correlation between Tigers games and the Hitler Zombie’s (shudder) [...]

Note to All of You Who Think Kenny Rogers Cheated

Get over it. The game is over and the Tigers won. Best thing for the Cardinals to do is to hush and to take two out of three in St. Louis and one of the remaining two in Detroit – thus winning the series in seven. Chronically whinning about it is only going to piss [...]

Cardinals Lose Game Two

Well, we almost pulled it off. Bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. One run already across (why was Edmonds batting 6th?). Tigers dodged a bullet. The series is now tied at 1-1, which does not change my hypothesis of the Cardinals winning the Series in seven…Homefield advantage for the next [...]

Go Cardinals: Detroit Fans in Denial

Fans of the Tigers are, of course, in denial. It will be the Cardinals in seven! Go Cardinals

Cardinals in the World Series: Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty

I’m a little shocked the Cardinals made it to the World Series. They have played erratically all season, but be that as it may I’m sure we will correct the error that was 1968.

Woohooo! Go Vols!

Kicked Cals Ass 35-18! That’s the UT I know…
