I gotta stop going to ball games. Cocteau Twins playing on iTunes, to help me chill. I wasn’t in the best frame of mind to start. Nothing wrong, really, just the usual everday stresses. Same as you. But we had the whole Chan Ho Park thing going for us, so that was good. I won’t [...]

From the Vault: World Series 2001, Game 5
[This post originally ran on November 2, 2001.] Fascinating. I noticed the Diamondbacks were up 2-0 after seven last night, so I broke my “no Yankees on television” rule to see how Bob Brenly would manage to blow this one. Actually, that’s a bit harsh. What I really wanted to see was how he would [...]

Are you getting what you want out of Ducksnorts this year? Better/same/worse compared to previous years? What’s working, what isn’t? More interviews? More analysis? More [...]
