The “HJE Presidential Issue”
Don’t worry, this is not a partisan entry. Kerm is downright painfully neutral, and my baby-killing, Communist ways are typically confined to the ShoutBox, where the rhetorical battle of ideologies is hashed out daily with greedy, heartless gubment-hatin’ Morpheus, Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance, Section 242 and St. Patrick trading volleys with tree-huggin’ flag-hatin’ hippies Forklift, Thrillho, Oleg [...]
Congratulations, Phillies
You’re number one.
Don’t Ever Let Bud Plan Your Summer Vacation
My initial reaction to Monday night’s postponement of Game Five of the World Series in Philadelphia was not to blame Bud Selig. I understand that four people flew up from Tampa to see Game Five.

I believe it was Sunday when I was listening to Pat and Ron on the radio, and Pat mentioned that on [...]
Oh, By the Way
125 days in first place, and then this happens. It couldn’t have happened to a classier team. Good luck with the Indians this weekend, Ozzhole!
Your Metropolitan Tears are Like Sweet Nectar
Poon posted these outstanding pictures at Desipio, and I must share them with you.
Payback Time
After the Cubs did us all a favor and saved us all a good deal of stress by wrapping up the division on Saturday afternoon, I was a bit conflicted as to how I wanted this last week of the season to unfold. With the Cubs facing the Mets and then the Brewers, two [...]
Yankee Stadium is a Dump. There. I Said It.
Don’t freak out, Yankees fans. For one thing, I am not taking anything away from all of the self-proclaimed great Red Sox games that have taken place in Yankee Stadium. I’m sure the House that Ruth Built was a marvel when it was first built. I’m sure it’s an incredibly intimidating place [...]
