in the Clutch

Okay...I've been saying for a year or more that A-Rod just isn't clutch.
Nice stat sheet. Good numbers at the end of the year. But even I had to wonder if he could really be called MVP last year.

That position has only been amplified in recent weeks as Big Papi in Boston looks to be getting the game-winning walk-off hit in every game the Sox play..

So mark it down: tonight, A-Rod hit in the clutch. A two-run walk-off dinger in the bottom of the 12th inning to beat the lowly Atlanta Braves 4-3.

So for today, at least, A-Rod is clutch.

There, I said it.
Let's see about tomorrow.

The Whole Tommy Z Fight

Done in 49 seconds

Well, I'm surely no boxing fan. And I'll be even less of one if, after last night, Tommy Zbikowski decides to leave football behind. But it's still nice to see him do so well in his pro debut, dispatching Robert Bell-- a guy who adopted Ohio State colors for the fight, apparently thinking that flashing buckeye colors in the ring would intimidate Zibby..

I don't know about you-- and maybe this is just the sleep deprivation talking-- but I can't imagine a worse tactical error. Poor guy had no idea what was coming. That much is clear.

Okay, so is it football season yet??

Working tonight.
You know how they say to never talk about work in your blog.
Well, I won't either.

But suffice it to say, I'll be here a while-- til about 2am tonight-- then back again in the morning.
