Posted on January 27, 2012 by Jesse Pantuosco

Don’t be alarmed … well, maybe be a little alarmed. I’m sorry. Prince Fielder brings out the mad scientist in me. So, in case you’ve been hibernating, Tuesday Prince Fielder agreed to a nine-year deal with the Tigers, a deal … Continue reading →

Can the Angels Buy Happiness?

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco

Money talks. Admittedly, I don’t know this from personal experience (right now my wallet is drier than the Sahara). But it’s true. Just ask Rod Tidwell. Or Kenny Powers. Or Busta Rhymes. I guess that’s why the sports world can’t … Continue reading →

Hey Guys … There’s a World Series Going on

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco

It’s been three weeks. Heck, the World Series is starting tonight. You’d think we’d have all moved on by now. We haven’t. We still can’t look away. And we probably won’t anytime soon. The Red Sox train-wreck is that compelling. … Continue reading →

How to Lose the Wild Card in Three Minutes

Posted on October 1, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco

It’s certainly been an interesting week for me. Sunday I had food thrown at me at the Bills game (that’s the last time I wear a Welker shirt in the state of New York). I also tried sushi for the … Continue reading →

Moneyball Revisited: Tampa Bay Closes in on the Red Sox

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco

You know that Tom Petty song “Free Fallin‘”? He was talking about the Red Sox this September. A week and a half ago it looked like Blockbuster had a better chance at a comeback than the third place Rays did. … Continue reading →

Waving Goodbye to the Golden Age of Shortstops

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco

It’s rare when I draw inspiration from watching South Park, but I found the show’s most recent episode, “You’re Getting Old,” to be pretty thought provoking. The episode centers mostly around the idea of getting older and becoming more cynical. … Continue reading →

Is it Too Early for Boston to Press the Panic Button?

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco

The End of an Era: Saying Goodbye to Hard Tickets

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco
