Don’t worry—it’s not the end of an era yet

4 August 2008 by David in Baseball, David's Personal Life

I love mustaches. I’m pretty sure most guys have an obsession with their facial hair. Most girls are like, “Why do you willingly make yourself ugly?” This is a common phrase from my sister. It’s a good thing my brother has a ridiculous full beard.
Anyway, there are some pretty famous mustaches out there, but one [...]

Seems like the Home Run Derby needs an update (followed by a quick note on the Olympics)

15 July 2008 by David in Baseball, Design

Last night, being the avid baseball fan I am, I sat next to my brother and my roommate and watched the Ridiculously Over-hyped State Farm Home Run Derby. The Home Run Derby has long been a facet of the All-Star game, and it’s usually pretty entertaining.
Spoilers ahead! If you don’t want to know who wins, [...]

The Baltimore Orioles show support for closer George Sherrill

30 June 2008 by David in Baseball

I’m back! I’ve been out of town since last Thursday to go be a groomsman in my buddy Jonathan’s wedding (I didn’t lose the ring!), so I’m here to get back to blogging…
I love how the Orioles support their closer. If George Sherrill comes in to finish up a game and does so successfully, all [...]

Switch-hitter vs. Switch-pitcher

23 June 2008 by David in Baseball, Ridiculous

This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. Just absolutely crazy. The Yankees currently have a guy in their farm system that is a switch-pitcher. He can throw incredibly well with either his right or left hand. His glove has six fingers and two webbs. (You can see a close-up of his glove [...]

Weekend Round-up

My brother and I were at the Astros game today. Wandy Rodriguez on the mound. Gave up 5 runs. NONE OF WHICH WERE EARNED. His ERA for the game stayed at 0.00. He gets the loss. St. Louis takes the series—again. That’s what we call NOT backing a pitcher up.
LSU’s uniforms look terrible today against [...]

Another reason(s) the world of sports might actually be a different world

4 June 2008 by David in Baseball, Basketball, Ridiculous

Sports Illustrated has released the Top 50 American citizen athletes who made the most money the past year. (This means people like Yao Ming and Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker are out.) I was listening to the radio when the guys (John and Lance, Sean and John—geniuses) over at 1560 The Game got a hold [...]

A little house cleaning never hurt anyone

2 June 2008 by David in Baseball, Rice University

So you may notice a mild new look around here. I’ve been working on streamlining the look of the site for awhile now, wanting to make sure it was lean. Without getting all to the point where you have no clue what I’m saying and probably for the most part don’t care, there was a [...]

My Brad Ausmus dilemma has been solved

27 May 2008 by David in Astros, Baseball

No, it’s not about whether or not he should be playing. (He will always be a hero to me for his playoff home run off the Cardinals.) Recently, I noticed he was wearing an all black face mask behind the plate. This was seriously disconcerting to me; I loved his cow skull face mask (click [...]

Cleveland Indians’ nameplates

29 April 2008 by David in Baseball, Uniforms

Sorry I’ve been out of commission lately; last week was a crazy, crazy week. It’s over now, and I can get back into the groove of posting daily.
Back to the subject of this post. Last night I was watching the Yankees play the Indians and I noticed something I’ve never noticed before: The Indians fill [...]

Lance Berkman has the greatest batting gloves of all-time

12 April 2008 by David in Astros, Baseball, Uniforms

Today my brother and I were watching the Astros play the Marlins when Lance Berkman came up with a man on. He knocked a home run to cap off a four run fourth inning, but as they were showing him on the replays, they showed his batting gloves.
I will search as hard as I possibly [...]
