When it comes to TV shows, I'm extremely picky when it comes to watching something weekly and religiously. Unfortunately I do not have Showtime, HBO, Starz or AMC which means I do not watch four specific shows that I really like with great frequency (and I'm too lazy to watch it online on my laptop, so I wait for DVDs). My interests come and go, shows come and go, shows finally end and well it's back to finding something to replace my pop culture black hole. Just last week, it was announced that ...
I'm partially inspired to review things sort of like our beloved user, Browntown, does with his blog. But I am too lazy to create a blog and, well, I'll just use the Baseball Slant blog feature.

So first, let me list the five I cannot wait to see the most that I have not from this year. And then, my top 5. 5. Source Code: I actually have it, just haven't watched it yet. I hear glowing reviews, and most ...
Did anyone notice that the Phillies brought former GM and recently fired GM of the Houston Astros, Ed Wade, back as a consultant? Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's all too ironic given the big names Wade traded from Houston to Philly. So, on this episode, we're going to look back at Ed Wade's masterful work. And I'll let you decide if I was just being sarcastic or not. In 2003, Mr. Wade sent forth closer Billy Wagner for a package of Brandon Duckworth, Taylor Buchholz, and ...
