Today in Tuffy History:
- MLB loves Jackie Robinson thi$ much.
- Don’t piss off Howie Schultz.
- No one kicked Kevin Costner’s ass. This is a HUGE letdown.
- David Beckham is rubbish.
Also, I stole wrote a poem for the Big Tilde.

“And I used to sit with (Manny Ramirez)… the benches here in Cleveland – you are able to sit on different levels and he would sit between my legs and I would kinda rub his shoulders and we would watch the opposing pitcher warm up and talk about how he was going to be attacked.”

Brookseration
Monday, April 14th, 2008Today in Tuffy History:
- Beijing tries to hide its pollution
- Old marathoner tries to hide his true age
- Lou Piniella tries to hide his boozing
- Pete Rose can’t hide
Also, Treehouse Fort led to great baseball discussion about fandom and Nationals Park. Really, they went together. Somehow.
Detrius from Augusta
Monday, April 14th, 2008I never got a chance to use this in Masters coverage Sunday, but it seems a shame to waste it:
Better luck next time, Tiger.
Sunday Selections
Sunday, April 13th, 2008
Golf fans? I’ve posted a bit of fluff at In the Weeds and will poke around the Sunday livebloggery.
AL Central fans? I’ve written something of a photo essay about being at Gavin Floyd’s near no-hitter on Saturday for The Big Tilde.
AL East fans? Check in tonight at 8 pm ET for the Sports by Brooks Yankees-Red Sox livebloggeration. As always, it’s more fun when you’re there bringing me drinks and more guacamole and such.
UPDATE: Live blog link. Come have fun!
Brooks’ Gal Friday
Friday, April 11th, 2008Today in Tuffy History:
Also, I talked about a non-existent event at The Big Tilde.
On the Treehouse Fort, Sussman and I just shot the breeze. It was very relaxing. I recommending putting a bullet into any local wind you can.
This weekend’s plans: look for Masters commentary, Red Sox-Yankees liveblogging, and a surprise tomorrow night. The Tuffy Media Empire never rests.
Into the Brooks Once More
Thursday, April 10th, 2008Today in Tuffy History:
- Red Sox fans are growing too cute by half. (And not in the good way.)
- Gene Orza is fascinated by Richard Nixon. (Naturally.)
- Gilbert Brown runs out. (Or I think that’s running.)
- Toronto’s sports fans are starting to gain a reputation. (And not in the good way.)
Also, this is the best summary of the newfound animosity between the Chicago Fire and the New York Red Bulls. Then again, what do you expect from Ives Galarcep?
Start Brookin’ the News
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Today in Tuffy History:
- I visit Beijing, Ann Arbor, Pittsburgh, and Los Angeles.
Brooks Are Go!
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Today in Tuffy History:
- At Golf in the Weeds, I opine about big sticks and bigger nets.
- At The Big Tilde, I chant for success.
- At Sports by Brooks, I notice Clay Buchholz looks a bit odd, Nats Park looks a little empty, the NFL looks flat in three dimensions, and Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent look a little wussy.
The Jerk!
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Seriously, what did I ever do to Steve Martin?
For the record, this isn’t funny at all. I really did have to pee.
(H/t: The esteemed J-No)
