Ka-Bob-u-lated

Does everything taste better when its grilled on a skewer? I'm not sure but I'm becoming a ka-bob everything fan. Next, I might try kid-ka-bobs with pieces of hotdog mixed with meatballs and chicken nuggets (and maybe broccoli for Trevor). It's all good.

The Game

Times change...constantly. Same is true of baseball. Andre "The Hawk" Dawson became a Hall-of-Famer this weekend and correctly pointed out that the game in not broke. A few individuals have sullied their reputations and hurt the game, but they can't break it, according to Dawson and I agree. I still love the game. I love it on radio--it is still the best sport to listen to on radio--and I love it from independent league to MLB to college world series, even little league. It's not broken. The DH is here to stay and will be making its way to the NL if they ever seek to be competitive again. Interleague play has been a great change bringing regional rivalry games plus some great matchups, whilst also proving just how much superior the AL is to the NL. Stats have even helped develop value in players, such as Holds, a great stat (for fantasy leagues and regular fans) puts a value on that 7th and 8th inning bullpen guy just as the Save gave value to notion of a "Closer" in the 1970s. Sabremetrics has brought new insight into how to evaluate players and Fantasy leagues have replaced Baseball cards as the primary means of following players on teams out of your market. I like where the game is now, and I see a bright future ahead.

All-Star Game

Well, the Class-AAAA NL'ers finally defeated the true Major Leaguers after a bazillion tries (and one tie) and the result truly reflected that 2010 seems to be a year of the pitcher. Let's see if the White Sox can stay white hot after the break.

An all new heap

Posting on here has been sporadic to non-existent for over a year now. Might as well try and pile some new scraps on this old heap. Consider this another new beginning right here from the heart of the Prairie state.
