Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Good Start For Ohio Baseball



Can we put the season on hold right now? The 12-4 Cleveland Indians have the best record in all of major league baseball and sit atop the Comedy Central -- I mean American League Central -- Division.

Behold the power and the glory of Shelley Duncan, Travis Buck, and Jack Hannahan. Marvel at the mound mastery of Josh Tomlin and Justin Masterson. (All together now: "Who?")

It's a wonderful thing and most unexpected, but you better hurry and do your beholding and marveling real soon. Because it's just April 19th and this can't possibly last. Can it?

The Cincinnati Reds are 9-7 and, despite a recent rough patch, are on top of their division too. They won it last year and should contend again this year. Now if they can just get their starting pitchers to quit shoplifting $10 t-shirts. (Hey, Mike Leake! You make half a mil a year. C'mon, man!)
