Once upon a time I cared about the All-Star game. Somewhere in a garbage dumpster in heaven, my old VHS tapes of All-Star games from 1985-1993 are gathering dust. It was the one time that you could see all the stars of the game, hence the All-Star game. In 1984, I was there in person at the old wind-bowl known as Candlestick Park to see guys I read about or whose baseball cards I collected. Back then, you rarely saw […]

Sweet Chin Muzak – Derek Jeter Gets Hit 3,000 In Style
Derek Jeter hasn’t forced this upon us. On second thought, maybe he has. But he hasn’t done it through Twitter or reality TV shows. He’s done it through winning. But not just winning. It’s the way he’s won. He’s done it with style and class. Jeter isn’t a choir boy. He’s dated several of the most famously beautiful women of our time like Adriana Lima, Jessica Alba, and Mariah Carey when she still had her fastball. And now, he’s dating […]
Sweet Chin Muzak – Is Derek Jeter Done?
After not hitting lower than .291 in his entire Major League Baseball career, last season, Derek Jeter hit .270 and slugged just .370. The slugging percentage was also the lowest of his career. And even though he won his 5th Gold Glove in 2010, his decline in range at shortstop over the last few years is very apparent. As of this writing, Jeter is currently hitting .206 with just one extra base hit in the first nine games of the […]

Blerd Radio Episode 8: Me, Grandpaw Jimmy & The Mysterious Celebrity Porno Renter
For Blerd Radio Episode 8, I turned to Jimmy , who hosts his own show entitled “Funny Like Car Accident Funny”. Over a wide ranging hour, we combined to bellyache about pertinent issues including: -Christine O’Donnell’s love of witchcraft. -Our need for a publicist to get us on “Real Time with Bill Maher” -What happens when Derek Jeter’s contract runs out at the end of this season (you think perhaps us talking about the Yanks was a bad luck charm?) -Whatever […]
