Angry Dentist’s Thoughts of the Day: Personal Responsibility Edition- Frats, Pirates, Aluminum Bats and Water Intoxication

All of today’s thoughts include a common theme: personal responsibility.  Or, in this case, the lack of it.  Unfortunately, we live in a world where no one wants to accept personal responsibility; it is always someone else’s fault when misfortune rains down on an individual.  Its sad and it makes me sick, but this is what the citizens of this world, and more specifically, of this country, have...

Baseball update for July 11th

Just a few thoughts from yesterday: Ryan Church to Braves, Francoeur to Mets.  Both managers were sick of what they were seeing from them.  Church and his mental errors (missing third base for the winning run), Francoeur with his inability to stop swinging at balls out of the strike zone.  Both guys may benefit from a change in scenery and new managers.  but in the end, does it really matter?  The Phillies...

First off, speculation by...

Oh, the humanity!

Feels like the Yankees series all over again.  Lidge blows the save the first game, and then the game itself, then blows the save the second game.  The difference is, the Phils were able to pull out a win in that second game.  Not today, though. Once again, Lidge...
