I’d like to post a report of the game I saw last night between the Sacramento Rivercats and the Las Vegas 51s, but it’ll have to wait till I get back to Korea. I’ve been spending much of my evening trying to figure out how to fit 14 pounds of cheese, new shoes and 30 […]

No reason for this, really. What’s good today? I’m out of Sacramento. Josh Johnson has actually added velocity following his Tommy John operation. Jackson can reply to comments written in Spanish that I can’t understand. Lots of good things happening. Feel free to post your own below in the comments section.
Oh, and enjoy this rather […]

I’ve failed you dear readers. The third installation of the Racing Model Billiard Championships — Korea vs. Russia started a few weeks ago and I haven’t brought you a single update. You can find the main site here, which has a little TV preview and photos of the participants.
Here’s some coverage of the individual matchups (maybe NSFW). Yes, this […]

You know, we could sit and bicker endlessly about the non-issue surrounding the merits of blogging vs. the print media or vice-versa.  Will Leitch, Braylon Edwards, integrity, journalistic ethics blah blah blah.  Here’s one thing that EWC can deliver that no lame local sports columnist can:  Gratuitous photos of the scantily clad uber-gorgeous model Reon […]

It might seem that Elliot Spitzer had the most humiliating week in news on the heels of his call girl escapades in the big apple this week .  But a new candidate has suddenly emerged: MLB journeyman player and Boston Red Sox scout (we’re assuming former at this point) Jesse Levis was accused  indulging himself in […]

Don’t forget us….remember to call now and again, we can still be friends, can’t we?
You knew it was too good to be true and it wasn’t gonna last forever.   Pick up your chin and let this help ease the pain a bit.

With things feeling a little tight how about some breathing room with a demonstration of the amazing holding power of plastic straps. As Chinese model Ying Ling will show you (so long as you aren’t at work) this technology has come a long way in recent years.

As promised, EWC has devised a 30 page in-depth study of the effectiveness of the VORP (Value Over Replacement Player) statistic in analyzing player values, and a further in-depth study of how VORP combined with RANGE FACTOR defensively and OPS (park-adjusted of course) has emerged into THE fool proof tool for evaluating on-field perf…[sound of […]

First, we were giddy after Twins blogger extraordinaire Aaron Gleeman gave us props on his site. Had the good lord of baseball blogs bestowed only that blessing upon us, we would have said “dayenu” and raised our glasses in thanks.
However, yesterday the wheel of baseball blog fortune was kind to EWC again, as we enjoyed […]

I’m not sure if she purposfully did this for cameras at the post-awards show or what, but this skirt was pretty short to begin with.
This is Han Hyo-ju, a fairly well-regarded actress who was in a movie called Ad-Lib Night, which I haven’t seen but want to. She won an award for it at a […]

One of Taiwan’s truly unique albeit controversial features is the habitual chewing of Betel Nuts–a highly addictive fruit that masquerades as a mildly euphoric alkaloid stimluant known to Taiwanese folks as ‘bing lang’– that’s chewed somewhat like tobacco by a fairly sizeable percentage of adult males here. Bing lang contain a strong red pigment that’s spit […]

It’s a dark day for baseball as the long-awaited and feared Mitchell Report officially names names. Some, like John Rocker above, don’t exactly come as a surprise. Others will both suprise and sadden. And fans of Clay Hensley will wonder why the hell he wasn’t a whole lot better than he was if […]

Taking a break from reading about whether or not Fukudome is gonna sign with some team or another?  Winter meetings not getting things done? Tired of living in hotels and ready to get home to your wife and kids after that long trip scouting? Thinking about putting your computer to better use, possibly to solicit […]

As a lifelong Twins fan, nothing can be more revolting than listening to impetuous snot daddy’s little angel Hank Steinbrenner trying to restrain himself from salivating in the media over adding Johan Santana to the Yankees Roster. Steinbrenner, quickly established himself as the deplorable dweeb/coaches son we love to hate in a New York Post […]
