The Sports Sermon

Fie! We cannot contain our odium for the team that hails from the hamlet previously named New Amsterdam. We decry all those sportsmen donning pinstriped suits and jaunty blue caps whose arrival means the raiding of our small burh. Harvest after harvest, the blasphemous prudhommes George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and Joe Torre impose unfair tallage all o’er the land, pillaging our finest base-ball men for their squadron and leaving us with only a few beggared peasants with which to fill our rosters.

OK baseball fans, here I am for the second week in a row, giving you the sweet and low down on the MLB playoffs. So far all of my predictions from last week have come true, so if that’s any indicator then you better listen closely to this weeks predictions as I take a look at the National League.

Quinn keeps on scoring

First-year field hockey forward Jessica Quinn looks like a woman on a mission when she takes to the field. She stares down the opposition and seems to run right through other players to reach the ball. So it comes as no surprise that she leads the Georgetown field hockey team in points and goals for the season.

As any mathlete or quiz bowler can tell you, experiencing the thrill, the palpable rush of no-holds barred competition doesn’t require heavy exertion. Racing to solve for x, y, and, yes, z in time to beat the competition and hold on to your lead is as intoxicating a feeling as you’ll find anywhere (outside of three gin and tonics).

On Instigator, Miller embraces new sound

Rhett Miller is in love. He’s in love in a way that appeals to cynic and romanticalike. He’s so damn in love he can make all 12 songs on his new album, The Instigator, love songs. While references to the likes of Kafka, Air Supply and the works of Don DeLillo might ensure that his songs won’t find wide radio play anytime soon, each of Miller’s love songs is crafted to be instantly singable even if you have yet to learn the words.
