Take the wife to the airport at 5am. Go to the dump. Take the dog to the groomer. Paint prep the on-the-way baby's room. Do laundry. Take down the Halloween decorations. Make calls to relatives. Kill the mole(s) invading my garden and yard. OK, those are my chores for the... [Full Story]

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 29, 2007 · Comments (1)

And in the end, it wasn't even close. In fact, it was a downright snoozer of a World Series. Mirroring their 2004 triumph, the Boston Red Sox have swept their way to a World Series championship, beating the Colorado Rockies, 4-3 in Game 4 to take the series 4 games... [Full Story]

Welcome back from vacation, Rockies

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 26, 2007 · Comments (3)

The first Monday after a long vacation is the worst. Jobs are piled knee-deep on your desk top. Your e-mail box reads "Inbox(547)", and the red message light on your phone looks as red as a baboon's butt. People ask you questions about jobs that you haven't the faintest clue... [Full Story]

Francona's Foul-Up?

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 19, 2007 · Comments (3)

OK, so this isn't like exactly Grady Little keeping a clearly tired Pedro Martinez in the game after 100+ pitches. But somebody explain to me why Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona had ace Josh Beckett go out in the 7th AND 8th innings of last night's ball game to... [Full Story]

Explaining the Rockies "Mile High Miracle"

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 18, 2007 · Comments (1)

Maybe it's the black uniforms. Or the humidor. Or the thin air. Or the ice cold Rocky mountain spring water. Heck, in a superstitious ode to Wade Boggs, maybe every player is eating a bucket of extra crispy chicken before each game. No matter the reason or possible explanation for... [Full Story]

Dear NFL Rules Committee....

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 11, 2007 · Comments (4)

Dear NFL Rules Committee: Your timeout loophole is showing. I think you good people know what I'm talking about. But if not, let me refresh your memory. Back in Week 2, in the Raiders/Broncos game, the Raiders had driven the ball down to the Broncos' 36-yard line in overtime. (More... [Full Story]

MLB Championship Series Preview/Predictions

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 9, 2007 · Comments (6)

Who says there isn't parity in baseball? OK, you got me. It's not quite as good as the NFL where a new king is crowned seemingly every season, but more and more once-underachieving MLB teams are showing that you can succeed in this league by building up from the inside.... [Full Story]

Yanks lose series, possibly Torre, A-Rod and others

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 9, 2007

During last night's broadcast of the Yankees/Indians ALDS on TBS, a fan was holding up a sign with the black letters of "T", "B" and "S". It stood for "Torre Better Stay". Clever, but not likely to happen. And he'll have company as he packs his boxes, too. After getting... [Full Story]

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 2, 2007

Back on February 5 of this year, I made some predictions about the 2007 season and who the divisions winners might or would be. In the process, I took a lot of heat for some of the picks I made. Now that the season's over--at least the regular season--let's see... [Full Story]

The Monu-MET-al Collapse of '07

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 1, 2007 · Comments (2)

September 12. A 7-game lead. The Magic Number to clinch in sight. But a funny thing happened along the way to that East Division title for the New York Metropolitans. Some bad starting pitching. Some lousy hitting. Some bad relief. Some more lousy hitting. And some cruddy fielding. What's it... [Full Story]
