I Found My New Job…

Good to see everyone again. As the resident NFL and MLB guy at the Cube, the time between the Super Bowl and baseball season provided a nice break for me. But pitchers and catchers have reported, spring training games are right around the corner, so it’s time for me to get back to [...]

Oh Baseball How I’ve Missed You. You Too Red Sox

[Ring Ring, Ring Ring]
Baseball: Hello
Gideon: I’ve had some second thoughts, and realized I would like to write about you again, if that’s ok?
Baseball:  Well, I guess so.  I have just finished up three of the most trade and signing packed days of the year.  I’m sure you can find something in there.
Gideon: Yeah, that’s what [...]

BCS Is So Boring

Lets get a few things out of the way:
1.  I finally found my CubicleGM password after losing it for two weeks.  Actually thats not true, just the rumor being spread across the Internets.  I have spent my non-working hours a.) Journeying through The Wire for the second time -  its far better the second time [...]

Wake Me Up When September Ends

August is supposed to be the Dawg-Days of the MLB baseball season, while September is usual full of excitement around playoff races and MVP & Cy Young awards.  Less two weeks left in the season, there remains very little to be decided.  As a result, the last two weeks are shaping up to be pretty [...]
