Filling the Gaps With Legos

Filling the Gaps With Legos

We will have the audio from our first podcast up shortly, but first some links:
This is merely a public service at this point, because everyone should know that Boner is missing in Vancouver. We will save you that phallic jokes because this is important: a Growing Pains icon is missing in a foreign land. Keep your [...]

For the Record…

For the Record…

By Ryan on January 13, 2010

From 1950-1970, Charlie Brown’s career pitching numbers are 7-85 with ERA between 70.00 and 90.00. Heck yes someone figured this out.
Please, please click through to the full story and the subsequent statistics, because the data is just fantastic. No word on what his BABIP was over that stretch, but I’m guessing it’s consistently high.
Seriously, thank [...]

Don’t throw away your Obie trading cards just yet.
Today the Buffalo Bisons announced that manager Ken Oberkfell will return to the club next season. Also returning to the staff will be pitching coach Ricky Bones, while A-ball Brooklyn Cyclones hitting coach Jack Voigt will take over the duties for the Herd.
In an especially rough season [...]

This is probably a few days old by now, but holy crap that’s good.

If you didn’t know about this, you do now. One of the greatest sports achievements in the history of the world, now in cartoon form.

15 Steps and Then a Shear Drop

15 Steps and Then a Shear Drop

By Ryan on October 12, 2009

There was a ten minute window on Sunday where it felt like the entire sporting world was crashing down upon me.
Jonathan Papelbon gave up a two run lead with two outs in the ninth, and a few minutes later Roscoe Parrish decides to avoid overtime at The Ralph and muffs a punt. Three outs later, [...]

Game 163 and Counting

By Chris on October 6, 2009

By Chris

We haven’t talked much baseball in these parts lately, but expect that to change.
The playoffs kick off tonight with a one-game playoff game tonight between the Twins and the Tigers. The winner earns the right to play the Yankees.
Then tomorrow night we’re right in the swing of things, with that Twins/Tigers-Yankees series, Rockies-Phillies and a nightcap featuring [...]

Today at 1:35 the Buffalo Bisons will mercifully play their last game of the season in Lehigh Valley. The Bisons wrapped up their home schedule on Thursday, so it looks like I have a post to come up with about my season covering the team.
That won’t happen until later, but I thought it’s important to note [...]

Checklists and Jesus, Ect.

By Ryan on September 3, 2009

by Ryan
At this point in the Bisons’ season, what I keep coming back to is this: just how much do these games matter?
After tonight’s 8-6 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the Bisons are now 54-83 and a downright depressing 28-42 at home. The year-end awards have been given out, the ThruWay Cup awarded, and almost everyone who will see [...]

Bisons Turn Triple Play

By Ryan on September 2, 2009

by Ryan
The Buffalo Bisons may have an abysmal 27-41 record at home this year, but with just three home games remaining they gave a crowd of 9,866 a treat on Tuesday night.

(Video evidence of the feat courtesy of BisonsTV.)
Buffalo turned the first triple play at Coca Cola Field in 14 years in the top of the third inning [...]

Sometimes when you wander around some image-sharing sites you find something really interesting or useful. While trying to come up with an icon for Rich’s fantasy football team, I came across this, which has absolutely nothing to do with Johnny Depp.:

Considering I will be spending the day wearing a Red Sox 59fifty, I thought it was [...]

Baseball, Cards, and Life

- If there’s one book I really enjoyed reading last summer, it was Michael Lewis’ The Blind Side. Well, there’s a movie version coming out very soon, and here’s the trailer. I’m honestly not sure what to think, although I’m sure in some ways it will be horrible.
- Tonight Boston opens up a four-game series [...]

Nelson’s Big Day

By Ryan on August 4, 2009

by Ryan

I’ve had a few Bisons posts slowly being worked on in draft, but last night Buffalo’s Nelson Figueroa was called up and started for the Mets. Figueroa has pitched well all season in Buffalo, and it was nice to see his hard work get recognized by the emergency start.
However, his trip to the majors wasn’t a [...]
