Tuesday Sniping: Heightened Aggression Edition

Don’t like seeing a hallowed American city start resembling something out of the Middle East, even if only for a few moments. Boston is different from Tel Aviv, Beirut, Aleppo. Continue reading →

As they say, all the greats make it look easy. You watch this Golf Tournament on Television, and your mirror neurons are firing like crazy. Especially with that super-hi-def slo-mo replay of how the whole upper body pivots as a single entity at the waist, the head completely still and quiet, only turning forward after the arms have swung through, the wrists held high and together about the ear for the follow-through. Your mirror neurons are screaming, “I can do that!” And then you head to the nearest driving range and you realize your overoptimistic mirror neurons are not strong enough to overcome your halting and awkward gross motor skills.

Cliff Lee, can he also take Hamels and Halladay’s places in the starting rotation? Well, at least one of the other disappointing H’s (the big butter-and-egg man, the proclaimed Big Piece Mistah Ryno Howard) finally hit a homerun in a regular-season game. Break up the Philsz! Continue reading →

Tuesday Sniping: 2013 Philliesz R.I.P. Edition

Doc Halladay gets shelled again, and this squad is not even as good as the Metropolitansz right now. Maybe Halladay needs to make like another Doc — the late, lamented Doc Ellis of the Steel City Buccaneers — who dropped some LSD prior to pitching a game, to great effect! How ’bout it, Roy? How about a postage stamp or two? Continue reading →
