PLORP!
My, that's an unusual—
I have a superpower. It is not as impressive or useful a superpower as I might have hoped. I'm afraid that it is not even as impressive as the modest superpowers I dreamed up for myself in later years. (There were two. One was the ability to pickle things with a glance, handy for times when one ...
Or do like the Phillies fans with Pat Burrell -- cheer a ton when he's introduced before the game, and then boo the hell out of him when he comes to bat.
bengie and buster
Former Giants now Rangers catcher Bengie Molina continues to be the best blogger in the major leagues. His post last night after the Giants won the National League pennant is a keeper. I know one of the story lines of this Series will be me and Buster Posey, the rookie who replaced me on the Gi...

TV Casualty
via www.youtube.com Friend of Hello, TypePad (and Apperceptive employee #1) zempf pointed me to this video of Ted Leo's Misfits cover band, "TV Casualty." I can't believe how good it is. One of my best friends in High School wrote a book about the misfits, so I know them quite well. I'm impre...

The presence of all three Cleveland teams (and the Eagles, as a bonus) on that list validates my sports fan pessimism.
Bill Simmons: The Levels of Loving
I was thinking about her three Mondays later, after the NFC Championship Game, when I was sifting through e-mails from devastated Vikings fans, and I realized that, for some readers, I apparently have turned into the "Sports Whisperer." They channel me as an outlet for their pain. Why me? Beca...
I'm in only my second year of being a (partial) season ticket holder for the Phillies, and my experience with their ticket reps has been pretty good. I called a couple of months ago to try & upgrade from my section 233 seats & was basically told that my best shot at getting something in the first deck was in row 35 or so & I'd probably be better off in my old seats. I definitely appreciated the honesty from the rep, instead of trying to take my money & give me what'd end up being worse seats.
The Citi Field Experience
I'm sure many of you got today's mass-email from the Mets selling tickets, and as mentioned this morning the 15 game plans are on sale to anyone. One reader has been trying to upgrade his tickets to a better location. Let me repeat, he....wants...to...give....the....Mets....money...... In Decem...
Natalie, since nobody else seems to have read it you should just start bullshitting the recaps. "And then a flying saucer came down and abducted Bilbo, and Gandalf's all like 'ROSEBUD!' and did I mention there were aliens?"
plotzed
here's what i've got so far. Gandalf shows up at Bilbo's house like a creepy old uncle, then Gandalf and a horde of dwarves crash Bilbo's house, eat all of his food and drink all of his wine like a big bacchnalian scene from Animal House sans femmes. There are more than a few jokes about how B...

Strays from my backyard. If you're in Philadelphia & want to adopt one, let me know (the calico one is taken already, in fact).
