This was supposed to be the year that I rededicate myself to watching baseball. It was going to be awesome, too. I was going to see Lincecum go for another Cy Young. I was going to root for Zito, who has had a resurgence. I was going to watch the Rangers become relevant again. And, watch how they've actually developed something that's resembled a pitching staff (Rich Harden!). I was going to watch more Yankee games, and discover if the Rays had ... Read More

I'm not gonna lie, as much as I like writing about the Cowboys, Mavs and baseball, horse racing is my favorite. And, hell yeah, it's Preakness time. If there's one sporting event left to cross off my list, it's being on the infield at The Preakness.
The infield at The Preakness has to be the most insane sports party, other than Bay 2 Breakers, which happens this weekend in San Francisco. I'll be there one day, and I'll definitely "Get My Preak On."
So, ... Read More

You guys know how much I love betting on horses. I don't have much time, but I took $150 and bet on a lot of horses.
Since we're short on time today (fucking Mavs had me pissed all day), I thought I'd just post up my bets, which are subject to change.
Here are the horses and odds
And, here are my bets... Happy Betting everyone.

I've tried writing this 4 times now, and I think I finally found an angle that hasn't been beaten over the head (wait, it was just beaten over the head).
First, I wanted to talk about why I didn't think the Mavs would win the Finals (who knew they wouldn't even get out of the first round?!) - as seen HERE.
5. No set lineup - Well, as we've seen in Round 1, this remains true. Despite what happened with George Hill in Game ... Read More

The NFL schedules were released, and before I talk about the Mavs, I wanted to discuss it. Seems like the Cowboys were fucked again with this year's schedule, and it's gotta piss off somebody other than me.
Seems logical that Boys will open on the road at Washington. We have to travel to Washington to open the season? Really?
Not only are we opening at Washington, but we're closing with consecutive roadies against the Cardinals (who knows how they'll be without Warner) and, of ... Read More

I've mentioned more than a few times that this has been one of my favorite regular seasons as an NBA fan. I've seen my favorite team on TV more this year than any in the past. I've recognized their problems with every one else, I've seen the decline of the team and the uprising of a contender in one season.
Yet, I allowed myself to fall into the Mavs trap, like I also do. I sort of wish the trade with the Wizards ... Read More

Wow... the day that was yesterday. Sure, thousands of people have covered it, but I couldn't not write about it, could I?
MLB Opening Day, NCAA Championship, McNabb to the Skins, Tiger still talking and, well, what else could you possibly want?
Let's see if I can't play a little game of just the tip...
MLB Opening Day... What more could you ask for, really? Albert POO-holes (which would be the name of my fantasy baseball team) hits 2 homeruns, Rangers come back in the ... Read More

This week Toph and Jon discuss their March Madness brackets (not good), Ron Washington's sweet cocaine habit, the Mavs and NASCAR (kind of).
The only link you should need this week is to Dock Ellis' LSD No Hitter - Link

This time of year I seem to find myself in the same place, which is overly excited about baseball season.
I start reading spring training stories about the Rangers, Yankees and Giants. A few of my friends have started posting Facebook updates with their excitement, which creates more excitement for me. You can start to feel some energy around the ballpark (I work 2 blocks from AT&T Park), and people on the streets start talking about how well they think they Giants are ... Read More
