There will be a few changes to the ol’ blog over the next few weeks … administrative stuff. I’ve got about 10 players on the Top 100 just about lined up and will try to trot those out over the next week or two. In the meantime, some of the other blog stuff will appear…

The Timeless Game
Some years ago, my buddy Chardon Jimmy and I wanted to have T-shirts made that simply said: “Twenties Happen.” This is a Strat-o-Matic reference. In Strat-O baseball, when something is close to a sure thing — say a pretty fast guy scoring from second on a single with two outs — the game would often…
Buy premarin online without a prescription
Sometimes, I would think of them as magicians. This was when I was 21, when my job for The Charlotte Observer was to compile the hockey standings and take high school track and softball and tennis results and call some sort of secret phone number to get the lake levels I needed to print in…
Purchase lasix from Boston
There’s a fun element of parenting that I like to call “The Obviousness Factor.” It goes something like this: Sometimes you see your kid doing something kind of off but not exactly wrong. For instance, we will see a daughter quietly goofing around with the dog when she should be doing her homework or gently…
A short story about rock and roll
Every now and again my buddy Brian — referred to through the years here as Pop Warner — opens up a door to the coolest scenes. Brian works for Warner Music; he is sort of the company’s liaison with iTunes. I say “sort of” because his job is actually quite a bit more complicated than…
The Iceman
OK, time for a sad admission: There are fewer and fewer things exciting enough to get me out of the house these days. I suppose this comes down to age, it comes down to inertia, it comes down to this incredibly lucky life I’ve lived. I just attended my 22nd Masters in Augusta. Twenty-two Masters!…
Where to buy prednisone in San Antonio online
You probably know this, but the Kansas City Royals single season home run record is 36, and Steve Balboni set it almost 30 years ago. It’s always fun to list off the team-by-team home run single season home run leaders. Find your team! Giants, 73 (Barry Bonds 2001) Cardinals, 70 (Mark McGwire 1998) Cubs, 66…
The PosCast Episode 6 — Superheroes
[iframe style=”border:none” src=”http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2789307/height/50/width/480/thumbnail/no/theme/standard” height=”50″ width=”480″ scrolling=”no” allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen] Michael and Joe create a new segment specially designed to shorten the PosCast, and then incoherently draft superheroes for way too long. Topics covered include the incompetence of Dan Snyder, the uselessness of Aquaman, the lack of restraint of the Superman creators and what kind…
Homerless Streaks
OK, you know I love stuff like this — the Kansas City Royals (as of 1:41 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday) have not hit a home run all season. That’s seven games, that’s pretty rare stuff. The last team to start a season without a home run in its first seven games was the 1990 New…
It’s not THAT good to be the king
Henry Aaron is NOT The Home Run King. This sounds like I’m going to follow up with some rant about Barry Bonds breaking his record and how terrible that was … but I’m not. My thought here has nothing to do with that. Henry Aaron is not the Home Run King because that silly title…
