Why I Hate the Red Sox

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 at 9:56 pm

The title of this post is misleading. I don’t really hate the Red Sox. At least, not in the same way that I hate that other AL East team. With the Yankees, it’s easy to hate just about everything: the players are old, pricy, underachieving prima donnas; ownership is outspoken, nepotistic, and incompetent; management destroyed [...]

It’s been a while

Loyal fans (the few of you that exist): let me apologize for the extremely long delay between posts. I’ve been off doing more important things. Heh, yeah, that’s it…
Actually, I sort of lost the motivation to post on this thing after a while. Last term wasn’t particularly busy or challenging in any real sense, but [...]

WHAT A GAME

Saturday, October 7th, 2006 at 2:21 am

I haven’t posted in a while, and there’s a bunch of stuff I should post, but I’ll save that for later. James, Sherv, my brother, and I went to the Coliseum for Game 3 of the A’s-Twins division series today, and it was ridiculously awesome. A raucous Coliseum, people waving cheap white “rally towels” (I’ll [...]

I’ve been planning on putting up this set of updates for a while, but I’ve managed to get delayed by…stuff. Like killing zombies (more on that later). Anyways, here’s some updates:

This summer’s been the summer of bar trivia so far. Well, at least on Monday nights. We’ve (where we is James, Ariel, Jim, me, and [...]

Pittsburgh (a bit late)

Monday, August 7th, 2006 at 2:14 am

So after Cleveland last Saturday, James and I headed to Pittsburgh Sunday morning, and took in a Giants-Pirates game at PNC Park. At a capacity of 38,500, PNC Park is the smallest park built in the latest wave of stadium building. ESPN.com’s “Page 2″ rated it as the best ballpark in the majors when they [...]

Pot calling the kettle black

Saturday, August 5th, 2006 at 5:25 am

Since the San Francisco Giants moved into their new ballpark, it’s been no big secret that a large portion of their fans have tended to look down on Oakland A’s fans as unsophisticated and aggressive morons. All of this said, of course, as the Giants fans sip their $7 espressos while eating their $10 sushi [...]

Uhh, hello? Hello? Hello! Hello Cleveland, ha ha ha!

Sunday, July 30th, 2006 at 1:06 am

Umm, sorry for the lack of updates. I have a draft of a post with a bunch of updates that I haven’t completed yet. I’ll post it when I get back into Cambridge.
James and I decided to take a weekend trip to visit a couple of baseball parks, and settled on a two-day trip to [...]
