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 chicagowhitesox, hbp, littleleague, ozzieguillen, teenerleague on 5 August 2008 | No Comments »
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 Devils. [...]
Detroit Finally Shows Up for a Game

Okay, I admit. I made dinner - a really good turkey bolognese sauce and whole wheat spaghetti. I drank half of a bottle of Shiraz.
I had to pick up my daughter from work at 3. It was annoying to me as I really wanted to watch the San Jose-Detroit hockey game. I went right from [...]
Why do you watch the Super Bowl?
Posted in Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, tagged ads, commercials, superbowl on 2 February 2007 | No Comments »
I know, it sounds like a stupid question. But I am dead serious. As a marketing student over 20 years ago, there was the annual marketing class - regardless of what level course it was - assignment of watching the Super Bowl for the commercials. This was well before the exorbitant ad rates of today.
So [...]
