My Sporty Cat

So I talk about sports all the time.  And I also write about sports a lot too.  So I decided for a change of pace I would talk about something else I love. My cat.  Yep, I love him and I  don’t care what you think.  Now, I used to consider myself a “dog person” [...]

Barry Zito’s Model Behavior

Left-handed, wearing high socks with a devastating 12-6 curve…I instantly fell in love with Barry Zito.  The fact that he’s gorgeous didn’t hurt either.

Rivalry Out of Control

The Red Sox-Yankee’s rivalry is one of the most bitter rivalries in professional sports.  In fact, USA Today once called it “the fiercest rivalry in sports.” 

I love going to Sox-Yanks games.  I’ve been to them in Boston and New York and it’s always a good game.  I wear my Boston gear [...]

The Name Game: Part 2

 
Ok, so we know that athletes seem to give their kids interesting (also known as unusual) names.  But what about the athletes themselves?  Have you ever stopped and considered all the silly names that athletes have?
Would you rather be named after a cereal or a board game? 
Being a Red Sox fan, the obvious choice would [...]
