Sports Illustrated isn’t announcing their Sportsman Of The Year on December 1st , but I’ll save you the wondering. Last year I spilled a lot of digital ink telling you who should have won (Joe Maddon , not that drug addict swimmer ). This year I could do the same (Ben Zobrist), but could it be any more obvious who’ll they’ll give it to? Fifth “world title.” Broke...

Nationals' Zimmerman receives Silver Slugger - The Wash. Times I feel bad that I did not blog about Ryan Zimmerman winning yet another award -- the NL Silver Slugger award for third baseman. This comes after his Gold Glove announced a day earlier. His thunder got stolen by the announcement and coverage of Jim Riggleman's contract extension . I don't think this news ever made The Post 's print edition....

[] How to beat the spread on NFL football games. Bet against the visiting team the first time it visits a new stadium. There's lots of evidence that home field advantage in all sports results from the visiting team being unfamiliar with the home team's venue -- and the visitor is never more unfamiliar than on its first-ever visit. To check whether this converts into something visible in results against...

In 1983 unemployment in the US rose to 12 million, highest total since 1941 (sound familiar?), the final episode of M*A*S*H aired setting a record of 125 million watchers, and The Hawk was setting records of his own for the Montreal Expos.* I've mentioned it before in a previous post that in my opinion, Andre's 1983 season was probably his best all-around offensive season. So good that I think we should...

Ryan Zimmerman wins Silver Slugger! The props keep coming! Way to go, Zimmy. He and Matt Kemp are the only two NLers to win both a Golden Glove and a Silver Slugger in 2009. Alfonso Soriano was the last (or should I say, "other") National to win a Silver Slugger (needless to say, Sori did not win the Golden Glove that year, in spite of my coaching).
