September 28, 2010

It was epic...Jay Bruce steps up in the bottom of the 9th, tied game and takes the first pitch out to center to clinch the division and give my Reds their first postseason berth since 1995. However, they were not quite ready for the show being subsequently swept by the Philadelphia Phillies.

This was supposed to be the year...when they make the big jump...

I am a BIG, BIG fan of baseball…it is without a doubt my favorite sport. I’ve played baseball my entire life…and in my prime, I would consider myself to be a pretty decent player. Nothing like this playa though. This batting practice performance is just flat out impressive!

Being a die-hard Cubs fan, I normally wouldn’t give two cents about managerial changes with the Florida Marlins, but for that team what’s old is new again. Jack McKeon, 80, was named the team’s interim manager Monday. McKeon came out of retirement to lead the Marlins to a World Series title in 2003 after he [...]

Bad ass of the week goes to the guy who ran on to the field and got away from security. The video has recently surfaced on Youtube. Fan Mark Lancaster was recording the Astros versus Mets game. Which is a good thing, since I’m pretty sure no one was actually watching the game. Towards the [...]

Breaking The Robot Barrier

T-Rav — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 01:01:31 +0000

I was watching baseball recently. More like, I was catching glimpses of a baseball game during a nap. When a thought entered my head. This sport needs more robots. Well I need to wish no more! This Wednesday, the Philliebot will take to the mound during a game between the Philly’s and the Milwaukee Brewers. The Philliebot [...]

What he said

slick — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 01:16:39 +0000

He’s not being preachy… just pointing out some things that should be common sense. Sadly, that is lacking at times ‘at the olde…ball…game’.

Try And Hit This Pitch!

With the arrival of Spring comes baseball season. It’s my favorite time of the year, because being a Cubs fan it’s early enough that I still have hope! Here’s a video from the Japanese league of a pitcher that has a very unique strikeout pitch. Video quality isn’t the best, but you’ll get the idea.
