As is usually the case, we have to wait to see where Johnson lands. If a team signs him and makes him a starter, he’s at the very least someone worthy of a roster spot. He’s still… More »
Tampa Bay Rays Keep Carl Crawford
The Tampa Bay Rays don’t have the deep pockets of the New York Yankees or the Boston Red Sox. But when faced with a $10 million option on Carl Crawford, the Rays exercised the option to keep the speedy outfielder.
As it turns out, it wasn’t too difficult of a decision for the Rays. Last year, the 28-year-old left fielder had arguably his best season. He finished with a .305 batting average to go along with 15 homers, 68 RBIs, 96… More »

Madvillain is Villanous in ‘All Caps’ Video
There’s two things I love most about Madvillain, MF DOOM and Madlib. A force to be reckoned with this duo has been turning up on my playlist time and time again since 2004, the date they released Madvillainy. This gem of a record has some of the best samples and lyrics that you’ll actually stop to listen to. Madlib’s beats hook you in while MF’s lyricism is highly hypnotic. Some call MF’s style lazy but I think he kills it…. More »

Hazards of Online Dating
I know several couples who have met online and lived happily ever after. But don’t get it twisted — this is not the norm. These days, it seems everyone has an online dating horror story or two. I think that is because of how it all begins … with a picture and a few lies.
