Sports Fanatic

Posted in Collegiate Sports, Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports, tagged , , , , , , on 15 July 2010 | 6 Comments »

I admit it.  I am a sports fanatic.  The unfortunate truth is I do not necessarily like the average sports that most Americans spend hours watching.  I do like college football and admit to watching a pro game here and there but I could really care less. On the other hand, I will plan my [...]

Is NBC right for the NHL?

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports, tagged , , , , on 10 June 2009 | 4 Comments »

Yes, I am sure the money is right.  If nothing else is important to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, money is.  The bigger question is “is the television contract with NBC good for recruiting new and more hockey fans?” I would say emphatically NO after the past two days.  First off, this year’s Stanley Cup Championship [...]

August 13th’s B Mets Game

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports, tagged , , on 14 August 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I won four tickets to any non-fireworks Binghamton Mets game online at the local newspaper a week or so ago.  I do like going to these games, although they now make me feel slightly older than they use to as the players tend to be the same age as my children.  My 21 year old [...]

HBP – Hit by Pitch

Posted in Collegiate Sports, Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, School Sports, Sports, tagged , , , , on 5 August 2008 | Leave a Comment »

So why is it news when Ozzie Guillen lets out that managers do tell pitchers to hit batters?  In my mind, and there are sports purists out there who will think this is blasphemy, this was a given.  I have watched it from Little League to high school through college and pros.  I have seen [...]

Versus on Time-Warner Cable

I am a huge professional cycling fan.  I live for the three weeks in the summer when I get to watch the best of the best battle the mountains of the Pyrenees and the Alps and the cobblestone of French villages as they ride the Tour de France.  I also love seeing the French countryside [...]

There’s No Joy in Mudville

Posted in Family, Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, tagged , , , , , on 18 July 2008 | 1 Comment »

Last night, I trekked to the local double A baseball stadium to watch the Binghamton Mets take on the Connecticut Defenders.  In the past, we have seen a number of now big league players come through Binghamton – both as new professionals working their way up and as seasoned pros on rehab.  The later was [...]

El Duque

While I will readily admit I live in NYS but do not, generally speaking, follow NY sports teams, I am heading out to the local Mets Double A affiliate to watch tonight’s game.  News hit the NY papers on Wednesday a little after noon and our local paper’s web site about 4 yesterday that Orlando [...]

Barry Bonds

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports on 27 September 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I will admit I am picture shy after trying to find one for the flirting blog. I know just what I want but now cannot find it. Anywho… Now, there will be a footnote that baseball doesn’t have the balls (pun intended) to put on Barry Bonds’ record. I do believe that all people in [...]

Baseball – Tom Glavine

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports on 6 August 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Yeah, yeah…historic baseball weekend! Oh wait, to a purist that would have been last weekend when Cal Ripken, Jr and Tony Gwynn were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. I am not interested in Alex Rodriguez being the youngest player to ever hit 500 homers. If I were a Yankees’ fan, [...]

Here Comes the Plaza

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports, tagged , , , , , on 12 May 2007 | Leave a Comment »

  For those of you who don’t know it, I am a huge hockey fan. Worse than that, I live in upstate NY and am not a big Buffalo Sabres fan (they are okay and if they are the last team left standing I would be fine with that). I am also not a NJ [...]
