Over a Year and No Mountain

It’s that time of year again. My contract is up on DIRECTV, so I’m preparing to make the switch to Dish Network for some new DVR’s and more channels for the money.
I’m a bit hesitant though. Even though I’m a big fan of satellite television, I’m actually considering Comcast. Why? Well, it’s been over a [...]

Batter Gets Hit in the Cup

Luckily this batter was wearing a cup! This is quite odd. A right handed batter gets beaned in the… well… by a right handed pitcher.

Cheap Hotel Prices

A couple years ago we drove to Denver to watch the Braves play the Rockies. I found our hotel that we would stay in after the game through Hotels.com. Then my wife said there was no way she was going to drive and and only stay one night. She wanted a travel day!
So I had [...]

BYU vs. Utah 2006 Football Rivalry Video

Today, Google Video recommended that I watch this video. See the screenshot for proof. Now, I recommend you watch it too!
I actually didn’t get to watch the game this year because of the whole Mountain West – Comcrap Monopoly. So I’d like to thank the guy that put this video together for those [...]

David Beckham & Barry Bonds

I read this article on SI.com this morning about David Beckham coming to America to play soccer. It seems to be all the buzz right now.
Personally, I could care less. I wouldn’t care if soccer just went away. I find it extremely boring. That’s okay though. My favorite sport is baseball and I realize that [...]

Jeff Francoeur & Joshua 1:9

I really like Jeff Francoeur. I suppose he’ll take over as my favorite player after Chipper retires, just as Chipper took over for the gap left by Murph when he won my respect his rookie year. Why Francoeur? I’m not totally sure. I know it has nothing to do with my wife thinking he’s the [...]

Umpire on Power Trip

I thought it was odd that Brian McCann got thrown out in last nights game. It seems to me the ump was just on a major power trip there!

After Davies issued a third-inning leadoff walk to Carlos Delgado, Brian McCann had a civil exchange with West, who promptly issued the soft-spoken catcher his first career [...]

Dale Murphy: Family Man

Living a normal life: Shawn Murphy always considered his all-star father just his ‘Dad’
By Jay Hinton
Deseret Morning News
While growing up, Atlanta’s Fulton County Stadium was Shawn Murphy’s playground.
He spent many summer days playing catch on the field with his brothers and father, running in the tunnels, or just hanging out in the clubhouse waiting for [...]

Those Padres…

Last night’s amazing comeback by the Dodgers had me feeling a bit sorry for those Padres. It reminded me of a joke Nate Colbert once told me concerning how BAD the Padres were at the time:

Last week a guy in San Diego had two Padres tickets on the dash of his car. He reported to [...]
