2012 Baseball News
Monday, April 2nd, 2012 by Cronjob
Some jokes about baseball, plus some political stuff. After the Red Sox’ epic collapse last fall, and a lack of pitching depth, I’m not enthusiastic about this season.

Jeter’s Boo-Boo
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011 by Cronjob
I tweeted this morning that I’d do a Quickie about the first news item someone sent to me. And once again it was this dude who gave me a Quickie subject. If anyone else starts reading my tweets, I might make it a regular thing.
It’s a big sports day here in Boston, with the Bruins a couple hours away from Game 7 in Vancouver. I’m debating whether or not I should liveblog the game. If that’s something you’d like to see, let me know in the comments. Otherwise I’ll probably just tweet a few mean things about Canada during commercial breaks, particularly about Tim Hortons and their foreskin-filled donuts.
In the meantime, Canuck fan and comedian Andrew Barber has been posting a funny series of videos as faux Bruins fan Boston Greg that are worth checking out even if you don’t follow sports.

As for Jeter’s injury: It means he’ll get his 3,000th hit during some other game I won’t be watching or have much interest in beyond its effect on the AL East standings.
Francona’s Strategy
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011 by Cronjob
The Red Sox have been flirting with .500 for what feels like an eternity. Pretty soon I’ll have to give up hoping that it’s just a slow start and begin to admit that this team isn’t very good, particularly the pitching.
As for the Bruins, they’re in the third of what feels like an infinite number of NHL playoff rounds. Which is fine by me. They’ve been fun to watch all season.
I am 5’3″, and therefore unqualified to comment on the Celtics and basketball in general. Except to say that I’ll be very glad when that clip of Rondo dislocating his elbow stops appearing everywhere and grossing me out.
And so concludes “Brian Blogs about Boston Shit” week.
Baseball Non-Stars

It’s baseball season! Hopefully the Red Sox do as well as everyone’s predicting, and A-Rod chokes on a popcorn kernel carelessly fed to him by Cameron Diaz.
