Got an invite from Kool Gregg a couple weeks ago to join his A+ crew at the Kentucky Derby. Haven’t been to the Derby since 1995 for Ratt’s bachelor party, so absolutely had to be here. Killer time so far I guess.
Kool claims Derby weekend is the best sporting event of the year. Better than the Super Bowl, NCAA championship, World Series, etc. My first thought, that’s ridiculous! Better than the Super Bowl?!? I’ve been to the Super Bowl, and it’s awesome! The Colts lost, and it was still awesome. How could a bunch of animals running in a circle compare to that?
But after the first day, I’m coming around to Kool’s way of thinking. Continue reading
WASHINGTON, DC – JUNE 05: Manager Joe Maddon #70 of the Chicago Cubs looks on before a baseball game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on June 5, 2015 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images)
Seadick and I came up with a new game today that will probably go viral and break the Internets. The game is called WWMD, or What Will Maddon Do? Continue reading
Indiana is shaping up to be a key state in the Republican primary this year. Trump can pretty much finish off Lyin’ Ted Cruz next Tuesday with a win in Indiana, so both candidates are hitting Indiana hard this week. Trump is coming to Indiana today to receive the endorsement of Bobby Knight, which is an absolutely brilliant move because the dumbest people in Indiana are IU fans and graduates, and therefore likely Trump supporters. Meanwhile, the idiot Lyin’ Ted Cruz totally blew it yesterday trying to pander to Indiana’s love of basketball and the movie Hoosiers. Continue reading
John Gant’s delivery is something to admire pic.twitter.com/zQDVNxq7uN

Trust me on this, but there will come a time in the not too distant future when you are watching a ballgame and the Atlanta Braves will send this new kid, rookie reliever John Gant, to the mound. Gant will proceed to juke his leg around before he pitches, and then stop in the middle of his delivery for no apparent reason, and then complete the pitch. When you see it, your buddies and/or know-it-all son will exclaim, “What the hell!! He can’t do that! That’s a damn balk.” Well, if you have read the rules, and I have (as of this morning), it isn’t a balk when there aren’t any runners on base, and it also isn’t an illegal pitch, apparently. I only know this because I looked up the rules and I can read. At any rate, I’m here to report my findings, so that when this Gant kid takes the mound and the inevitable debate ensues over what constitutes a balk and/or an illegal pitch, you will know the applicable rules and can impress your friends with your baseball knowledge. You’re welcome. Continue reading
The shitshow that is the Republican primary race definitely escalated after my last blog on the subject. See here. A day or so after Trump tweeted the picture comparing his smoking hot wife to Cruz’s decent looking wife, the National Enquirer came out with an expose on Ted Cruz’s five mistresses. Cruz blamed Trump, and then everything went nuts over the weekend. Good times! So many ways to go with this story, but here’s my hot take. Ted Cruz is a dork who doesn’t know the first goddamn thing about nicknames.

Two police officers in Atlanta were arrested last week when they got in a fight, and one of them pulled a gun, over who would be faster in a foot race. I’ve had this exact same argument many times with 9, 10 and 11 year old boys and, for the record, was never beaten in the race to the outfield fence and back to the dugout. I stopped doing that when they turned 12, though, and not because a couple of them might have been faster than me by then. No, I stopped because having foot races with other guys is childish and at some point in your 40’s you have to start acting like it. Plus you might take a header into the pavement, and how would you explain that. Continue reading
