Carpenter's Pitching a Better Story

Posted by · Published: October 25, 2006

Did Kenny Rogers cheat? Did he use pine tar to help his control during the postseason? Did it help him pitch twenty-three scoreless postseason innings? Does it matter? It didn't during last night's Game 3 of the World Series. Certainly not to Chris Carpenter who responded with a scoreless... [Full Story]

Posted by · Published: October 17, 2006 · Comments (7)

Why didn't anyone tell me that fight night had been moved to Saturday? I was watching "Sports Center" Saturday night and saw the highlights of a gruesome fight. Not in the boxing ring, mind you, but on the college gridiron. With nine minutes left in the third quarter of... [Full Story]

Torre Stays

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 10, 2006

It couldn't have been more than five minutes after the Detroit Tigers rousing upset defeat of the New York Yankees that the New York Daily News reported Yankee skipper Joe Torre would be fired. Oops.

Mr. November

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 4, 2006 · Comments (2)

OK, let's make this perfectly clear: Like most people in America, I dislike the Yankees. I dislike everything about them.

Read this article. Skip the part about Tiger Woods. The real story is about half-way down. I am not a big-time golf player. When I do play, I judge my score by how far I am from 7. If I shoot a 6 on a par 3, I'm not 3... [Full Story]
