    Just beginning to branch out into sports blogging after a few years of life/health blogging and I am already formulating responses to silly PR pitches like these!

    Where are these names spelled out phonetically? And since when can we not read either?

    I tolerated the guy babbling at me about the NBA, but if anyone ever suggested that I need a hockey guide it would be bad.

    And finally — if I want to learn about anything, be it history or biology or how to take a photograph or sports, can’t I just learn without some idiot guide based on my gender? Everything is wrong with this approach. And when it comes to clarification about downs, I’m just going to ask you.

    Hallelujah. And that’s as close to religion as you’ll find me, except when I worship at the Church of Baseball.

    *hand smacking head*

    Really? Have they read your blog?

    Although, that fashion thing may have come in handy for the Rockies game last week. Did they have a section on what to wear for a game that is hot, then cold, raining, lasts for 5 1/2 hours, AND includes a tornado watch? I really would like to know what one wears for a tornado watch.

    @ClumberKim I used to have that entire speech memorized. “There are 108 stitches in a baseball and 108 beads on a rosary….”

    The little voice on my shoulder is telling me to shut up, so I will, we can talk about it next month when you’re up here.

    Having said that, I hope these books at least touch on some sort of seat etiquette, like not getting up during play, waiting for the whistle, and that trying to go pass me after the team breaks the huddle or the AB has started is a big big no-no? And yes, guys do it to.

    WOW that is a pretty good prediction on the Rangers vs Caps, Philly in 6 or (7), great with SJ, not bad with Detroit,off with the Habs.I was pretty shocked about the Ducks and the? Canucks going to 7 vs the Hawks.
