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?
There’s an old saying about necessity being the mother of invention.

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.

This means we here at Dubsism had lots of material in our files on Bowden; a lot of material that became… Read More File Dump: The Bobby Bowden Edition
In a sound-bite world, Colorado coach Dan Hawkins has offered some real belly-busters.
