Do you know this man? This is one of many people whom I should have the right to smack. This is one of those people who sits behind the third or first base dugout at a baseball game. Somehow he knows when the camera is on him. He just can’t wait to get on his…
This picture is not a product of Photoshop or anything like that. This is a sinkhole that pulled the rug from beneath a three-story building in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Amazingly, nobody was hurt. More amazingly, it happened. This fits in too well with the rash of apocalyptic movies that have been released over the…
Before we drag Jim Joyce to the lynching tree, let’s get a better look at the “blown” call at first base on a semi-routine infield grounder that cost Armando Galarraga a place in perfect-game history.
Did the throw beat the runner? Certainly. Did the ball hit the glove before the runner’s foot hit the base? Oh, yes. Did Galarraga cleanly catch the ball and secure the out? Not quite.
Can’t we all just get along? Not when it’s time for the New York version of the Civil War. This weekend is Yankees and Mets, rounds 1, 2, and 3 as those from the Bronx pay a visit to Citi Field to play those from Queens. Midnight Blue versus Royal (what really is Dodger) Blue. New York versus New York, and round 1 went to – New York.
In times of great strife, it’s not unusual for the powers that be to find an easy target at which the masses could aim their wrath, especially when the powers that be are really to blame. There is no question that New Jersey is gripped by an unprecedented financial crisis. There is also no…

everyone knows i love baseball, especially baseball on the radio. however, radio announcers can be just as dumb as the rest of us. for example, my favorite right now is, of course, john sterling of the yankees. however, even john says something dumb very often. when a left-handed power hitter is at bat, many opposing teams…
i love these commercials designed to scare the monkey crap out of you. a woman is at home, sometimes with a kid, and a guy kicks down a door. they run. just a few seconds later, the phone rings. instead of running for safety, the woman answers the phone. now, i’m no safety expert, but it seems…
it seems there very few television shows: 1. GQ types who solve amazingly complicated crimes in 46 minutes using tests that normally take weeks to produce and incredible computers with non-existent databases 2. smart-asses who read minds, insult everyone around them, and take 14 guesses to get it right 3. attractive women with supernatural powers such as psychic visions or talking…
World Drought Map more than 5% of the world population lives in extreme, life-threatening drought In the Northeast, we’ve been hit with record snow this winter.
