COVID CENTRAL, NYC – As we continue to navigate this hazy, blurred maze of The Covid Zone, our staff has taken turns on the DL IL in unprecedented fashion… and not because of the Coronavirus.

NEW YORK, NY – Okay, so Lonnie Quinn & his cronies got it right – we got some snow. But once again, we were led to believe we were going to die by story-inventing icarnations of Ron Burgundy reading weather reports. While we think Quinn actually does work – as his rolled-up sleeves (aka Jim […]

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME… A FINAL SALVO
by Ed Diz/Dr Diz FORT WORTH, TEJAS – Well, the replay of the 1950 Fall Cassic – the last time the Phillies and Yankees met for the World Championship – is over.

ONCE AND FOR ALL: METS VS YANKS
CONEY ISLAND, NY – There was a cry in the night and we raced toward it. There was a was void and we tried to fill it. There was a war and we waged a battle worthy of Bunker Hill, The Bulge and Midway. We could no longer look away and thus looked within to […]
