The worst seven weeks of the year

Slow news month.....

.... then there's this, hot off the presses!

Tejada wants O's teammates to have winning spirit

"The only thing that I want is that the other eight players go out on the field with me thinking, like I, that we can defeat anyone," said Tejada, who is playing for his native Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Series in Puerto Rico.

That's nice. I agree.

I also want eight players—well, nine, actually—that run out ground balls to first base. But I won't complain too much, since Tejada hit the hell out of the ball in '06.

This is the worst part of the year. The waiting between the end of the Super Bowl and Opening Day. I just cannot find a way to give a crap about NBA or NHL games (no offense to fans of these sports). The NCAA tournament is a fun diversion at least.

College hoops!

Its Rivalry Week! Bubble teams!

I love college hoops. If only the terps weren't so maddening.

Caps!

Ughh who am I kidding. I love the Caps but they're just not fielding an NHL team right now.

RE: Cry me a river

You guys have no reason to complain, have you seen my Flyers???

momma take a look now at what your boy has done; he's walking around like he's number one; he went downtown and bought him a gun.

For real

I don't think San Jose in their first few expansion seasons sucked as much as our Flyers do right now......

Close though

Some more consistantcy from the offense and some defensemen that wont leave Kolzig out to dry and then your Caps got a good team.

Bah!

At least you have Ovechkin to watch! Meanwhile, us Bruin fans are stuck watching "blind goalie night" every time Tim Thomas starts. Meanwhile, Jumbo Joe lights it up for the Sharks.

And I agree, by the way, that this is the worst time of the year. Hockey on TV sucks, and I hate basketball because I'm 5'9". Thus, sports are dead to me right now.

word

And I even like basketball, since it was the most popular pick-game when I was a kid and despite being no real form of athlete, I have a mean jump shot and can play some D.

February is by far the worst month of the year, since nothing REALLY matters yet. I like all sports, but I am far and away a baseball fan first.
