I don’t rely on projections (maybe I’ll sneak a quick glance, but not always), and I try not to think too hard about my picks. Each draft takes [...]

The Girls Ran Screaming Behind Him on the Beach
Do you remember where you were when the Ben Davis Era (TM) ended? Neither do I. Let’s face it, that’s not the sort of thing one remembers in a life full of Things That Matter (TM). (What’s up with all the TM’s, anyway? Or as I like to say, WUWATTA? (TM)) Quick refresher: The Padres [...]

Hooray for me… Triple-A — Portland 6, Tucson 4 Craig Stansberry: 1-for-5 Chase Headley: 0-for-4 Brian Myrow: 1-for-3, BB Chip Ambres (RF): [...]
California Fall League Report: San Bernardino at Rancho Cucamonga

Ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit at 11 a.m. So of course I was driving the 90 minutes north on I-15 toward Rancho Cucamonga, to catch a baseball game between two teams with players nobody’s ever heard of. As is my custom, I arrived in the middle of the second inning. [...]
