For a disinterested baseball fan, without a rooting interest of either team, the 2015 World Series between the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets was about as good as you could get for a 5-game series: two extra inning games and three games that turned in the final two innings. For me personally, as […]
Hello friends, I just finished watching the CNBC Republican debate. This wasn’t a great night of TV watching for me. First, I “enjoyed” watching my New York Mets get thrashed by the Kansas City Royals in Game 2 of the World Series. Then, as soon as that wipe-out was mercifully over, I got to “enjoy” […]
Having now hit five home runs in his last five post-season games, I think we can no longer resist the inevitable: Daniel Murphy of the New York Mets should run for Speaker of the House. Murphy, a native of Jacksonville, Florida, is a Christian conservative and could unite the warring factions of the Republican party. He might […]
The teams of tomorrow opened their 7-game National League Championship Series tonight and the New York Mets prevailed with a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs thanks to a spectacular start by Matt Harvey, who out-dueled post-season veteran Jon Lester, who owns two World Series rings with the Boston Red Sox.

It’s been a few days since the CNN Democratic Presidential debate, it’s time to wade into the waters of the first debate for Dems. First of all, just in case this wasn’t obvious already, this is a two-horse race between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and self-avowed socialist Senator Bernie Sanders. If there’s a […]
One year ago the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs lost more games than they won. In 2015, starting Saturday night, they will meet for the National League Championship Series to determine which team will represent the league in the World Series. Thursday night the Mets edged the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 with a gritty […]
On Saturday night at the start of the 7th inning, trailing 2-1 to the New York Mets, the Los Angeles Dodgers were facing the daunting prospect of being down two games to none in a best of five series. But then pinch-hitter Chase Utley delivered a base hit and a slide/tackle at 2nd base that may […]
What a fun night for fans of the New York Mets last night, especially those of us who live in Los Angeles and had the opportunity to attend Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers. You could not have asked for a better pitching match-up: the Dodgers’ started 3-time Cy Young […]
It’s been two weeks now since the Republican presidential debate on CNN and, since I can’t help myself, thought I would share a few thoughts about what’s happening in the race right now. The most significant development is that Donald Trump’s support has softened since that debate. It seems clear that his act is starting […]
It’s been five days since the CNN debate and the verdict is unanimous: not only was Carly Fiorina the clear winner of the debate but the result has been a massive upward bump in the polls, positioning the former Hewlett-Packard CEO as the 2nd highest-ranked Republican in the presidential nomination derby. The biggest loser: Scott Walker. […]
