I was just scrolling through Twitter, and I saw a tweet that says “Help Tim get to Korea.” It was retweeted by Blind Sports, so I thought maybe it’s our buddy Tim… … And it was! Tim has definitely starred in a few New Years party stories along the way. He’s a good guy and …

Ok, I’ve had it. I’ve let this go on long enough. I must say something. Why do people insist on calling Madison Bumgarner MadBum? On every level, it’s a terrible nickname. There aren’t many levels mind you, but it’s awful on all of them. It’s not creative, it sounds a little insulting and just thinking …
Some of the ideas that Major League Baseball’s Pace of Game Committee has come up with aren’t bad at all. Limiting the time between pitches, when a batter can step out of the box and the number of times catchers can hike over and helpfully tell the pitcher to throw a strike will all do …

Note from Steve: This is Matt’s post, and it’ll say so at the bottom just as soon as I remember how to edit post authors. I have to admit I enjoyed Steve’s Miley Post – or as we in Canada call her – Kilometery Cyrus. (booooo!) What is it about Ms Montana that makes her …
I saw this over on Toronto Mike and wondered why I didn’t remember it. But as I listened, it didn’t take long to figure out why. If I’d even heard it before today, wouldn’t I want to forget it? It’s pretty terrible. The Ballad of Jesse and George The description on this wonders whether the …

When you’ve got some time, have a read of this article by former boxing manager Charles Farrell. It’s called Why I Fixed Fights, and as you’d guess from a title like that, it deals in some pretty nice detail with the whys and hows of match rigging.
