I spend my time shocking the world. In my spare time, I do things they said I couldn't do. I also watch and play cricket, which is like the first two things.

Four direct hit run outs in four games for DS Airee is: A) incredible And also B) mad from the batters. Only risk a single to him if you are certain there is two there …

Under the failed leadership of board chair Venu Pisike & CEO Johnathan Atkeison, USA Cricket has bled out more than 5,600 members since 2023. That includes 55 out of 116 (47%) former member leagues from 2023 who have completely abandoned USA Cricket in 2025. Shame on USA Cricket.

Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million contract is enormous, but according to sources, the Dodgers made back the entirety of the contract in Ohtani’s first season in tickets, marketing deals in Japan/global, merchandise. His impact on baseball’s growth cannot be understated.

Many plays to point to as reasons for the Giants' loss, but the one Tiki Barber cannot excuse is throwing the ball on third down with about five minutes left.

I got a message this weekend from a cricketer based in the Midwest who was rejected for a spot in a zonal squad for the T20 National Championship last year, allegedly due to refusing to join the Chicago club team of a key selector. Now he's into pickleball. Way to go USA Cricket!

For years, the mafia literally controlled who won the major (Boardwalk & Park Place) prizes in the McDonald's Monopoly game. Do not eat McDonald's. Do not play the Monopoly game.

USA Cricket is turning players away from cricket and toward pickleball in droves. Better social life, better facilities, better career/financial opportunities too. Congrats to the Venu Pisike/Johnathan Atkeison led USA Cricket board on turning cricketers into pickleballers!

USA Cricket has already sent their squad to Dubai for ODI tri series vs UAE & Nepal, but neglected to tell anyone. The squad left the USA on Sunday, landed in Dubai on Monday, played a practice match today. But of course, USA Cricket still hasn't bothered to announce the squad.

Another day, another message to my inbox detailing the farce of USA Cricket organized zonal trials and squad selection. One message/post seems to spawn the next. Here's another tale sent in by someone from New York. It's a type of story that many players have experienced.

Basically, "ICC suspension" is the equivalent of Dean Wormer putting John Belushi's character on double secret probation in Animal House.

"I used to see guys sitting at the bar by themselves eating and I used to feel so bad for them and now I realize that dude was in heaven." Not many of us can relate with being on a new team, in a new city, without our family, but many of us can relate to this.
