May 21, 2017: Validation
Your team gets knocked out of the playoffs. First reaction may be to hope they lose in the next round. They beat your team, you want to see them get beat. Easy right? Well, there’s more to it I think. … Continued
May 20, 2017: Coach K
I never liked Duke. Not sure why…Coach K is from Chicago. I was called Laettner by a few of my teammates when I hit a game winning shot. I guess it’s just because they win too much, and my hater … Continued
May 19, 2017: Buying Low
I’m tired of all this talk about Schwarber. Take him out of lead off. He’s not a left fielder. He’s a DH only. Trade him. What’s wrong with him? What’s wrong with you? Take Friday for example. First, he makes … Continued

May 13, 2017: Bringing Home the W
