Bump in the Road?
Despite heavily-ingrained Angels folklore to the contrary, losing shortstop Gary DiSarcina in August of 1995 did not sink the '95 Angels. Although 1995 was the single above-average season in suckworthy Gary's career (and Dipshit DeeSar was born and remains a Chowd on top of it all so save your...

Monday's Frosty Mug
Happy Patriot Day, Brewer fans. I've been away from the TV, radio and computer for most of the last 3 days, but coming home today I see that the Brewers took two of three and should've swept the Reds, and open today's series with the Cardinals a game back of first place. It's time for a Frosty...
