The Film Babe and I are going to see the late show of “In The Loop.” But it doesn’t start for another hour and a half. So here I am killin’ time, thinking about the world of sports.
Is Rachel Alexandra the sportsperson of the year?
My Detroit Tigers are 7 games up in the AL Central. [...]

Louisville’s Cardinals are down 0-2 early to Middle Tennessee out at Patterson Field.
Due to several circumstances — all legit — I didn’t make it out to the ballyard. Okay, I’m feeling more than a little guilty, but sometimes real life imposes itself. Like staying home with the Film Babe, picking up stepson at the airport, [...]

Whoa, my Tigers unloaded for 15 in their home opener. Which, given how crappy Detroit’s pitching looks to be is the only way they’re going to get any Ws this year. 15-2 over the previously unbeaten Texas Rangers is a boffo way to start the year at home.
So, hey, I got that goin’ for me.
Which [...]
All I’ve heard from U of L fans — including some real good long time friends — for the last couple of days is how much color commentator Doris Burke disrespected the Cardinals during the telecast of their semi-final W over Ooooooooooklahoma (where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain). How she kept calling Louisville [...]
It’s halftime of the Pitt/ Villanova game. Do we get to laugh at the stupid commentary of Greg Anthony and Seth Davis (who is really Billy Packer after Extreme Makeover Tournament Edition)? Do we get to see an interview with maybe The Rick or Roy Williams? Do we some stats?
Of course not.
We get Jay “Boy [...]

Cardinal fans have been looking for a nickname for this band of Cardinals. The Swarm — that’s my suggestion.
(Okay, truth be told, my buddy Ben came up with the name. So he gets the credit. By the by, he’s the sage who has always believed in the one game at a time rule: “You only [...]
For good luck, Kentucky wore black unis in their SEC tourney quarter final tilt against LSU.
The gimmick didn’t work.
Kentucky 58, LSU 67.
The Baron Adolph Rupp is surely turning over in his grave. “Now if those boys think wearing uniforms colored black are going to help them win, that’s just foolish. They just don’t know what [...]
A few thoughts about that U of L game the other night. You know, the win over Seton Hall. (Sorry, so compelling has been the melodrama in Lexington, I simply forgot to weigh in with my not so perceptive observations on the Cards.)
With 6:13 to play, Jerry Smith, for the first time I can remember, [...]
Selection Sunday is 11 days away and there are sooooooooo many questions to be answered.
If Louisville wins out, do they nab a #1 seed? If they lose to West Virginia (or, for heavens’ sake) Seton Hall, and don’t make it to the final of the Big East tourney, do they fall below a #2? How [...]

If memory serves, Craig Wiggins was most proficient doing the hokey pokey at my Bar Mitzvah party at Fourth Avenue Roller Rink. He should be glad Jonathon Scheyer wasn’t invited. With less than a minute to go, the Dookie was trapped in the back court, with his team up three on Virginia Tech. He moved [...]
