Sadly, all roads have bumps, particularly those that take 24 years to traverse. While Moyer has a lot of history in the Windy City, it would be a safe bet to say he would rather not remember the most recent bit of it. Last night, Moyer took a beating, giving up 6 earned runs on… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 07/16/10 – It May Be Time To Say “Phuck Philadelphia Phans”
As your home for the Jamie Moyer for the Hall-of-Fame Campaign, Dubsism will continue to bring you updates on the ageless wonder.

As you know, Dubsism is your home of the Jamie Moyer for the Hall of Fame Campaign. As you know, Moyer is in the process of blowing past some serious names in terms of his career statistics. How can this be considering he was never really a dominating pitcher? That’s an easy question to answer. … Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 7/6/10 – Philadelphia Gothic
Sometimes, great records are eclipsed in odd places. For example, Cal Ripken Jr. and Dave Winfield both collected their 300oth hits in the frozen wastes of Minnesota. Paul Molitor got his in a place most baseball fans under 20 have barely heard of (Kansas City). Tony Gwynn passed the 3000 mark in a baseball venue… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 7/2/10 – History Happens in Strange Places
Oh, by the way, Carlos Zambrano is now probably available if you need a cancer in your clubhouse…more on that later. Ok, Chicago, we here at Dubsism tried to warn you that a disaster was coming in Wrigley Field. The warning signs were all there. First, it was Milton “M-Bomb” Bradley talking smack from the… Read More Cue Chicago Cubs Implosion in 3…2…1…
Last night, the Dodgers avoided a sweep of the season series with their crosstown betters. Still, even though I’ve been a life-long Angels fan, Vin Scully as the “voice of the Dodgers” is one of the voices of baseball that should never be forgotten. This may be the last time I may hear Scully doing… Read More Drinking to Enjoy Vin Scully
The post office says “neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” That’s because unlike a computer, they don’t need electricity to walk up to your mailbox. After a week of tornadoes and floods (two great ways of removing power lines, by… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 6/24/10
Wednesday night brought more history from Moyer, who at the age of 47 years 155 days became the oldest pitcher to notch a “W” over the Yankees. But all the future hall-of-famer cares about is the win. “I don’t think that I’m old. So I don’t believe it. Regardless of what people think or say… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 6/17/10
Does a ten-pound bag of flour make a really big biscuit? First of all, we’re not talking about that Carlos Santana. This one is one of the most touted rookies not flinging death-bullets for the Nationals. Sadly enough for Carlos, he did nearly meet his maker at the hands of a Nat, just not Stephen… Read More Ask The Geico Guy: Is Carlos Santana Happy Adam Dunn Is In The Other League?
Ever since Omar Moreno bought the Los Angeles Angels, there has been a war for supremacy in the Southland’s baseball market. Moreno may not be Georgi Zhukov, but his Red Army achieved as decisive a victory this past weekend at Dodger Stadium as Zhukov did against the Germans in 1943. Battered in this battle over… Read More Los Angeles is Now Truly The City of the Angels
For those of you who had Friday, June 11th in the “Day Lou Piniella finally snaps and has one of his signature meltdowns,” please step forward to collect your money. Frankly, given the escalating level of Lou’s blood pressure during those every-day press conferences, you had to see this one coming. As usual, it is… Read More Piniella Finally Pops…You Knew It Had To Happen
Leave it to Chicago to find a way to fuck up anything it touches, like a sports day that should have been a tremendous one in the Windy City. After all, it isn’t every day you get to have a victory parade. But when the time came for Chicagoans to stop celebrating the Blackhawks’ capture… Read More Wrigley Field: A Perfect Site For a Disasters
Last time out, the future Hall-of-Famer looked as such, tossing a complete game victory. This time out was a bit of a different story; Moyer was on the recieving end of an artillery barrage that would have given Edmund L. Gruber cannon envy. Moyer took 40 pitches just to get out of the first inning,… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 6/11/10
Does Bigfoot need a Bikini Wax? Damn straight America loves this kind of stuff. Why else would we dive into the depths of the bowels of the beast known as the New York Yankees, specifically all the way to their short-season Single-A team, the Staten Island Yankees, for today’s Schadenfreude moment (if you are a… Read More Ask The Geico Guy: Does America Love A Potential Sex Scandal?
Doesn’t it just seem right that since we are roughly a third of the way through the baseball season, we would release our third set of team-by team rankings? With each team having approximately 57 games under their belts, there should by now be a fairly clear picture of who the contenders and the pretenders… Read More The Dubsism Baseball Power Rankings: You Gotta Know When To Hold ’em, and Know When To Fold ’em
Due to the aforementioned moving issue, we managed to miss a few starts on Moyer’s march to Cooperstown. However, three of Moyer’s last four starts were well worth missing. Since his last win on May 14th, the veteran left-hander racked up three losses; one seal clubbing at the hands of the Mets, and two of… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 6/6/10
As I’ve said before, the month of May was one of moving for me. But now that the boxes are unpacked, the computer is rebooted, and I’ve found a reputable electro-shock therapist, it is time to get back to the keyboard. The Umpires Strike Back First, there is the obvious; Wednesday night’s unfortunate prison-raping of… Read More Stuff I Missed That Needs to Be Addressed
We cannot let one of the most important anniversaries in Tommy Lasorda Hating slip by unnoticed. Today marks the anniversary of what Lasorda Haters everywhere call “the Kingman tirade” (rated R for language). It all gets started by some dumb-ass reporter asking a typical dumb-ass question, which inevitably propels Lasorda into channeling Joe Pesci. While it… Read More The Kingman Tirade
Once again, for those of you who have been kind enough to fritter away your time with these rants, I am still in the middle of a move halfway across the country which makes writing on a regular basis problematic at best. Dubsism will be back to full-strength by June 1st; until then I will… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 5/15/10
Well, all kinds of things are happening here at Dubsism. First, if you are one of the six regular readers of this tripe, you may have noticed posts being less frequent this week. I am in the process of moving, and until that process is complete in the next few weeks, I simply don’t have… Read More Your Jamie Moyer Update 5/7/10
