Every now and again, we need a little reminder of something that should be self-evident: Going to a ballgame is supposed to be fun. It is supposed to be a blast, not a bore. It is part of the reason why I always will have a hard time getting 100 percent behind the notion that one of the great signs of American weakness is that baseball games take too damned…

New York Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson called it “a baseball decision” when his team signed Tim Tebow to a minor league contract last September, even though the former football player had spent 11 years away from the diamond. The line drew smirks from just about everyone, and now we know that Alderson may have had his tongue firmly entrenched in his cheek. Speaking Friday at a panel during the…

“It’s a lot easier to analyze than, say, football, which has so many moving parts,” he said. “You aren’t overwhelmed.” Still, baseball is not always simple. Thornley dissected the scoring rules of baseball and asked head-scratching questions of his audience. For example, if a reliever replaced a starting pitcher with a runner on first, and then that runner was called out after being struck by a batted ball, and the…

Tim Tebow.  Uh oh, I’ve gone and done it. The Internet will now melt with all the hot takes on both sides of the fence.  But seriously, this one is actually fun.  Look, most of us are smart enough to know that the Mets signed the former Heisman Trophy winner as a publicity stunt.

I know I am overthinking it, but the Clark Kent-Superman thing always bothered me. Kent worked at a newspaper surrounded by, in theory, observant folks, and when it came to facial recognition between him and Superman, the whole disguise was a pair of glasses. Really? Fill in your own mean-spirited joke about newspaper people, but any walk of life should have noticed the difference. The before and after was a…

Officer Miguel Moreno, who died from his wounds Friday morning, and Officer Julio Cavazos were both nine-year veterans of the San Antonio Police Department. Buffalo…
