From There to Here

It’s that time of year — fantasy baseball season is upon us.
After my numerous blog posts here lauding Tony Romo, cursing Drew Brees and chastising that injured ass Larry Johnson, I finished first in my football league’s regular season thanks to basically Romo, Greg Jennings, Wes Welker and the Minnesota defense. But then I dropped […]

I might already have an entry titled this. In fact, I’m pretty sure I do.

I’ve still held onto my number 18, Johnny Damon, gray road jersey. The one that has BOSTON across the front and the one that has DAMON stitched onto the back. It’s one I wore proudly in 2003, 2004 and 2005. He was possibly my favorite player on those teams (other than 2003/2004 Pedro, who was […]
