What to Do About: Slow Starts

There he is, folks. The phenom known as Pedro “El Toro” Alvarez of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is also my fantasy third baseman. I picked him in the hopes that he would build off of his solid rookie campaign (he hit .256 with 16 homers and 64 RBI in 95 games), and also continue to…

Some things are inevitable, and there is nothing you can do to stop them. Jimmy Rollins, for example, could do nothing to stop this pitch from hitting him in the face.

And the Academy Award Goes to…

Like many of you, I watched the 83rd annual Academy Awards show (AKA the Oscars for those of you who don’t know anything). Unlike many of you, however, I was intellectually inspired by said broadcast. Why should those in the film industry be the only ones to get an Oscar? Is it because that’s why…
