For the first time in my short sport entertainment career (3 years), I finally got to work a big game. Last night Pettitte rehabbed with the Trenton Thunder. Preeeeetttty amazing stuff. Very chaotic and the most intense night of my life, but so much fun. It really added to what has been an amazing start to a great start to the Eastern League ( Read more... )

It's that time of year again when I ask the only obvious question: Is anyone down for some fantasy baseball? The league is going to be head-to-head so even fantasty noobs can join and have fun. we will also have a live draft, hopefully. If I get enough interest back (say 10 people), I'll go ahead and make the league.

Can you name all 30 MLB teams in three minutes?

I got 26 teams with 35 seconds to spare, but blanked out on the last four. Best part was they were the four most obvious teams list.

With the start of college football I've found that my weekends are split between hours of nonstop football plus tailgating and cheering on my own school (Go Bulls!) and watching my baseball teams in what I guess is now a town with playoff fever. Sometimes it's not so easy, as was the case yesterday, but tonight I realized that there is one thing ( Read more... )

I went to a Rays game last night and final got a chance to go to the Ted Williams Museum and Hitting Hall of Fame. I snapped some pictures while I was there and thought I would share them with y'all. They are not the best and I didn't get I shot of each of the display since I only had about 20 minutes until the game started (I wasted too much time ( Read more... )

Today was the first day of my film class (cultural studies through films) for shortened summer classes. For the class we have to select 2 films from 235 and write two papers on them.
