#IStandUpFor
For the World Series this year, MLB is partnering with a different charity for each game, and the first game is partnered with Stand Up 2 Cancer. Not as well known in the UK until last Friday, but I wrote a little post on it last year. MLB have invited everyone to fill in this

Player love or Team Pride?
It’s been a while since I posted about baseball, so if you’ve started following my blog recently and are expecting back to back book reviews, I’m sorry! It’s not been the best season so far for the White Sox, but we’re slowly climbing our way back up the standings. There are a few bright sparks

Review: Dirk Hayhurst – Out of My League
It’s been a while since I posted a review, not been feeling great the last few days so had a break from the laptop. But this book was awesome! I kind of knew what to expect from the book after reading Hayhurst’s first book (The Bullpen Gospels), and I most definitely wasn’t disappointed. This book

Now Reading: Dirk Hayhurst – Out of My League
I’ve been waiting for this book since I pre-ordered it in October, so I’m very glad that it finally arrived, especially when I started seeing a lot of tweets about people in America reading the book when I still had 2 weeks left until it would be dispatched. It will be the second book I

Merry Christmas!
It’s a bit late in the day now, but wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a great day. Mine was surrounded by family; chatting, laughing and opening presents – and eating turkey of course! The only thing missing was Cameron! I got some really cool stuff, including books, DVDs, music, make

Wakey!Wakey!, Casey Shea, To Kill a King Part 2
Firstly, I want to say a big thank you to the Family Records for this really kind blog post – it put a big smile on my face when I read it last night! http://twitter.com/#!/familyrecords/status/123845324958744576 Yesterday was the second part of our Wakey!Wakey! October tour. Show-wise, it was better than Nottingham, but I have to say

Ultimate Batting Practice? Maybe Not…
The MLB Fan Cave tweeted a link to this video earlier this week. http://twitter.com/#!/MLBFanCave/status/101053302896214016 When I first watched it, I thought it was quite impressive, but now I’m 99% sure it’s fake. Even so, it’s a pretty good fake video, definitely amused me the first time. (**Update: The video has now been removed from YouTube

600 Homers or 3000 Hits?
Last night, The MLB Fan Cave posed the following question on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/MLBFanCave/status/93080982881697792 (More impressive milestone: 3,000 hits or 600 home runs?). First of all, both milestones are pretty damn impressive. You have to be at the top of your game to be able to notch up that many of either. To answer the question

The Grubbs Effect
This week my website is ‘suffering’ from what I have now deemed ‘The Grubbs Effect’. Usually, my website gets between 50-150 views a week. After I went to the Wakey!Wakey! show last week, Mike Grubbs re-tweeted my website link: http://twitter.com/#!/WakeyWakey/status/81279347998199809 After he put this on twitter, my website stats went through the roof – 736

That’s gonna leave a mark…
My favourite baseball player Gordon Beckham got hit in the face last night by a relay throw in the game against the Blue Jays. It looked really painful – the last I heard, his eye was working but he was going to hospital to check for fractures. Let’s hope he’s okay and he’ll be able to

Lillibrilliant?!
I gave up on posting game recaps when the White Sox gave up on winning, but I had to write a post about Brent Lillibridge in last night’s game against the Yankees. Last night’s game didn’t start until midnight UK time, so I only made it until the 5th inning before I fell asleep, but

The award for best spring training tweet goes to…
… Jim Margalus. Ozzie and Kenny decided to take both guys rather than some freaky mash-up, but it really made me laugh! http://twitter.com/#!/JimMargalus/status/51476034423488512

Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
I’ve always been quite a worrier, so when Michael Schlact put this quote on Twitter, it seemed perfect! Not much else to say really, other than follow him cos he’s a great guy! “Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere.”
