“Baseball is the President tossing out the first ball of the season and a scrubby...”
– The baseball world lost a great yesterday as long-time Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell passed away at the age of 92. This is his Hall-of-Fame induction speech.

Finals Week Vacation
Hey guys, I’ve been swamped this week, and will be even more so next week, so bare with me if there are little or no updates til next weekend.
I got some things I definitely wanna write about, and some features that I hope to start.
In the mean time, I hope this amazing GIF of Alison Brie from Community will hold you over.

WatchThere isn’t enough I can say about how much I love this video.
I want all my friends to know that I would trade all of them combined to just have Shaq as my best friend.

WatchPreview for the new film A Solitary Man starring Michael Douglas. It seems like 500 Days of Summer meets Lost in Translation meets Adventureland. Two of those movies are fantastic and I like what I see in the trailer, so I think this could be a real good one.

MLB SEASON PREVIEW: NL EAST
The NL East is the class of the NL, and I predict the Phils and Braves will take the East and Wildcard in some combo.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are the favorite to get back to the World Series for a 3rd straight time (though I think playoffs are a crapshoot, but I’ll get into that in the next post). Chase, Doc, UPS, JDub, J Roll, Vic, and Hamels are...

MLB SEASON PREVIEW: AL EAST
Don’t be fooled by the Rays record, they are the 3rd best (and no worse than 5th best) team in the entire major leagues, it’s just that you have two powerhouses who are pretty much unstoppable. The AL East is hands down the best division in baseball.
New York Yankees
The Yankees are loaded to the brim with talent and if they get lucky a 110+ season...

MLB SEASON PREVIEW: NL CENTRAL
The NL Central should be another division that will be hard fought, but its undoubtedly the Cardinals’ to lose. The overall talent is below average, ranking only in front of the AL Central.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals are a very good team and they sport 4 of the best players in baseball in Pujols, Holliday, Carpenter and Wainwright. Add to that a...

MLB SEASON PREVIEW: AL CENTRAL
As you can see, the AL Central is full of mediocre teams and the Twins, White Sox, and Tigers should fight for the top spot.
Minnesota Twins
The Twins have the best offense in the division and a pitching staff that doesn’t have the kind of studs that their AL Central counterparts display, but are almost as good as the White Sox. This team would run away...

MLB SEASON PREVIEW: NL WEST
The NL West is crowded with decent to slightly above average teams, but should certainly make for an interesting September.
Colorado Rockies
The Rockies are loaded with talent and present a team that has much more upside than its NL West counterparts. Of course with upside comes risk, which the Rockies have in spades, but I feel confident that their young guys,...

MLB SEASON PREVIEW: AL WEST
Fuck it, I’m doing this again this year. I’ll be doing each division over the next week, giving projections, best players and potential busts, and little team previews. Let’s start in the West.
The West isn’t very strong this year, but will definitely be one of the most fun divisions to watch in 2010.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers are...

Review: Alice in Wonderland
Many people have been critical of Tim Burton’s most recent films, but I can say I am a huge fan of his adaptation of Sweeney Todd and I absolutely love the magical Big Fish. That said, his newest work, Alice in Wonderland, a pseudo sequel/re-imagining of the classic tale is probably the lowest point of his career (one that includes his Planet of the Apes remake).
The entire film seems...

What The Fuck Is A Hurt Locker?
18/21 in the feature categories is pretty darn good. Can’t believe how far off I, and everyone else, was on the short features. Still, I was just behind the best on the internet.

The 2000s: 2009
2009: Film
For me, 2009 was one of the best years in film this decade. Every genre saw one or more 4-star films, such as Paranormal Activity in horror, The Hangover in comedy, or the brilliant documentary The Cove.
The films that just missed the top 10 were Inglorious Basterds, The Messenger, The Hangover, Funny People and Taken.
