Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey celebrate yet another World Series.

Every other year, the song remains the same.  In 2010, the Giants win.  In 2012, the Giants win.  And now, in 2014, the Giants win again.  The San Francisco Giants are the champions of baseball once again for the third time in five years.  The Giants bested the Kansas City Royals 3-2, a tight game in a tight series that went all the way down to the wire.  Cumulatively, the Giants beat the Royals 4-3, and it took the most dramatic moment in all of sports, a deciding seventh game in the World Series, to do it.

Despite KC’s traditional ineptitude, this year the team came to play, and they challenged the Giants at every turn.  However, it was a Herculean effort by one pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, that kept the Giants on the championship path.  Bumgarner pitched an incredible 52.2 innings in the post season, breaking Curt Schilling’s 2001 mark by 4.1 innings, and finished with 270 innings on the season.  In Game 5, Bumgarner threw 117 pitches, then came back three days later in Game 7 to throw another 68 pitches.  He retired 15 of the 17 batters he faced, and more importantly, he lowered his record low career Series ERA to 0.25

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.
