I realize that Matt Holliday, Freddy Sanchez, and Cliff Lee have now all found new teams but that’s not what I want to [...]

I don’t really watch a whole lot of golf. I’m not very good at it and I don’t think it’s that exciting, but occasionally I’ll get sucked in to the final round of a major. This weekend’s British Open Championship was one of those times.
It started on Thursday when 59-year-old Tom Watson posted a 5 [...]

So I meant to do this during the All-Star Break, but I got a little busy. We’ll call this the mid-season plus a week review. What I’m going to do is go back to the divisional previews that I wrote before the season and see how far off I was halfway through the year.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I got tickets to both the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game in St. Louis. The weather was perfect, the food was good and the beer was cold. That’s a recipe for an excellent time at the ballpark.
