LeRoi Moore 1961-2008

What a bad day. It is truly a sad day. LeRoi Moore, saxophonist for the Dave Matthews Band died Tuesday afternoon from complications stemming from injuries he suffered from an ATV accident back in June.

Jack Buck 1924 – 2002

Today mark the sixth anniversary of the day we lost Jack Buck. It goes without saying that ATAW wouldn’t be ATAW without Jack. I can’t even begin to express how much the man has meant to me personally. To this day, almost every time I hear his voice I get a little choked up & [...]

Yes folks, the Cardinals are officially screwed.

Rick Ankiel Is A Golden god

Don’t believe me? Go here, here and here.
Watch that last video again. Rick threw Omar Quintanilla out at 3rd, ON THE FLY.
FROM DEAD CENTER FIELD.
AT COORS CANAVERAL.
Normal human beings don’t do that. Normal human beings can’t do that. Clearly, our boy Rick Ankiel is far from normal. And thank GOD for that. [...]
