Four games up, and four games down.  After the drubbing the Detroit Tigers took in the first game of the World Series, they never managed to get into the game despite their best effort.  Sure, Detroit got close by pushing the fourth game of the World Series into an extra inning, but ultimately it wasn’t enough.  The San Francisco Giants are the 2012 World Series Champions, sweeping the Tigers 4 games to none.  Last night at Comerica Park, the Giants beat the Tigers 4-3 to claim the world series.

“When pitching is your strength, you want a good defense,” said Giants manager Bruce Bochy.  “That shows up every day. … Hitting sometimes, it comes and goes.  But as long as you can stay in more games, the better chance you have of winning them, and that’s how we play.”

Pablo Sandoval, for his efforts in the field and on the plate, was named the World Series MVP.  I guess starting the series off with three home runs is a good way to get in the good graces of the voters; for the series, Sandoval hit .500 by going 8-16 at the plate.  He also made a key defensive play this game.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
