Burlesque – What I’ve Been Doing 16 July 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
The Peepshow (not the NV one, but a different traveling troupe) was in Harrisburg this weekend and Tiffany and I were super thankful to have something to do around York. Seriously, guys. It’s kind of boring up there. Knife throwing, sword swallowing, nail pounding, and, naturally, burlesque dancing were on the menu. It was lots […]

2011 MLB All-Star Game [WMQ]
The National League showed up to play and it was a sight to behold. Managed much more like a baseball team that wanted to win, Bruce Bochy’s NL squad trounced Ron Washington’s AL team with seemingly little resistance. Other than an Adrian Gonzalez bomb in the third, the AL hardly threatened. I know there hasn’t […]

Home Run Derby [WMQ]
So the Home Run Derby is definitely still a thing that happens every year and that I definitely choose to ignore every year, but I can’t help but comment on the fact that the NL selections were obscenely stupid. Rickie Weeks? Matt Kemp? Matt Holliday is a more inspired choice, at least. So the NL […]

The 2010 MLB All-Star Game [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It’s All-Star game time again! This year the game is being played in sunny Southern California, down in Anaheim. Thanks to the peculiarities of baseball scheduling and the east coast focus of television, the game is actually being started in daylight hours, 1700 PST. The liveblogging experience of the year is about to begin yet […]

Tomorrow’s Programming and the Home Run Derby [WMQ]
It came down to the wire, but my boy Hanley Ramirez couldn’t topple Big Papi, David Ortiz, on the national stage for the Home Run Derby. Now, I don’t really care about the derby, which is why I don’t live blog it, but tomorrow is the MLB All-Star game and you can bet I’ll be […]

Slightly Political: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Here at IBNttT we do not support Orwellian laws designed to penalize native born or immigrant Latino populations. I don’t support boycotting the Diamondbacks over this, but I do support moving the All-Star game out of Arizona until this law is repealed. 29 April NPB Rakuten Eagles (0) at Softbank Hawks (4). Another series sweep, […]

Hall of Fame [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. This year’s hall of fame class included Joe Gordon, Ricky Henderson, and Jim Rice, a fairly solid class inducted without much controversy. It seems like the controversy will only increase as the years continue to go by. Already the HoF voters seem to be softbanning […]

Mid-Season Predictions [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Here we are at the middle of the 2009 MLB season and things could not be more different than I expected. Dark horse candidates lead wild cards, division standings are mostly in shambles, it’s just not what most anyone predicted. Let’s take a look at […]

Wimbledon and All-Star Starting Rosters [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. I don’t tend to report on tennis news, but I happened to watch various parts of the Federer/Roddick match on Sunday, so I thought I’d say a few words on it. It’s worth nothing that this is probably one of the most lopsided rivalries in […]
