  6. Severe Lack of Smack Talk

    There has been entirely too much discussion of how good "so and so" other shitbag player/team is; to hell with that noise.

  12. The Quadrantid Meteor Shower

    After Midnight (start Jan 3) the best meteor shower of the year begins. Unfortunately the moon is too bright to get the full affect visually. (and it's overcast where I live) Fun fact; we don't know for sure what the actual source is, for all these little rocks that will be hitting Earth at...

    I sometimes wish I didn't have a bench. Who do you play and who sits, and how do you choose? If you're like me, you watch the news, check the injury reports, look at their opponents; do your due diligence. But then if you are like me, you make bonehead moves with the bench anyway. For...
