  • WHAT a Game!

    Game 6 of this World Series just may be the greatest Series game I’ll ever get to see. The Cardinals were down to their last strike… TWICE… and they carried it all the way to the 11th inning to WIN. THIS is why I love this game. Read more

  • FINALLY… A Decent World Series

    The Series may end tonight with the Texas Rangers taking the game. But it has been a fun Series to watch. It’s been awhile since I could say that. If the Cardinals rally tonight and it goes seven, this will REALLY be a fun Series. There are certainly the goof-ups. Tony Larussa making HUGE mistakes… Read more

  • Quick Thoughts on Baseball

    Every once in awhile I just can’t leave baseball alone. It’s my favorite sport. I grew up in Kansas City. Those were the days when they actually made the playoffs. Then, there were the World Series years of 1980 and 1985. Then… they vanished. Just like Bobby Fischer. I have lived in Minneapolis since 1997.… Read more

  • Talkin’ Baseball…

    Today, March 31, is Opening Day for baseball. How exciting is this… not? I love the game. I’m completely out of step with everything else, I know. I wish I had grown up in the 50s, but I didn’t. Deal with it. Nevertheless, the game needs a couple of changes. 1. Cut the season. This… Read more

    The fresh cut grass. The blinding sun. The smell of leather. The crack of a bat. Spring training is here and life is good. Read more

  • Monday Thoughts

    Some great thought-provoking posts and articles are surfacing this Monday. Bill Mounce over at Koinonia has some thoughts on the Ted Haggard situation. His big question is: “Why was Haggard removed from his church? Why were they not allowed to at least attend?” He readily admits he doesn’t know the entire situation, but he asks… Read more

  • Belief as Dementia, Evangelicals as Wimps, and HOW ABOUT THOSE TWINS

    Leave it to The New York Times to equate religious belief with mild dementia. Check that. What they are really offended at is the thought of an intellectual having a Christian worldview. This must drive them nuts. We live in a day when David Letterman can confess on air to having multiple affairs with staff… Read more

  • A Pause for a Baseball Note

    I love baseball. It’s been my lifelong passion as a hobby. Unfortunately, I grew up in Kansas City. It wasn’t unfortunate when I was growing up. We had pennant chasers back then. Three years running in the 70s we took on the Yankees every October… and lost. But we were THERE. In 1980 it was… Read more
