Earlier this week, I pledged to stop blogging incessantly about my car crash. But that blog did include the rider that I would only abide by that if you people [really hit “you people” as you read this] stopped demanding $21,000.The most recent demand was for $36,000, so I probably should have been more clear.Yesterday, I…

After the American League Championship Series was locked into place, I, along with television executives, lamented that the Toronto Blue Jays, not the Texas Rangers, would face the Cleveland Indians, not the Boston Red Sox.I believe this this year’s ALCS may be cancelled due to lack of interest.I might say, “Loyal Scaiaholics will know I’m a…
