Outdoors with Don Q: Christmas gifts for the sports enthusiasts
Submitted by Don Quilici on Tue, 11/29/2011 - 8:17pm
With Wednesday being Nov. 30, and with all of the crazy “Black Friday” shopping madness now safely behind us, we can begin, once again, to think rationally about ideas for Christmas gifts for that special person(s) in our lives.
So, if you were not part of that frenzied mob scene on the day after Thanksgiving, or if you are still scratching your head about what to get for that person, here are some “Don Q” suggestions for Christmas gifts:
Any one or more of these could create a very enjoyable Christmas.

Movie Review: Brad Pitt may not hit a homer in 'Moneyball,' but at least it is a triple
Submitted by Sam Bauman on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 4:27pm
The baseball-computer film "Moneyball" now playing at the Fandango Galaxy multiplex in Carson City, is the story of how computer analysis came to baseball through the then lowly Oakland A's.

Enright, Aces roll to victory 4-2 over RiverCats; lead series 2-0
Submitted by Chris Graham on Thu, 09/08/2011 - 8:37pm
RENO- It was all about the Aces starter RHP Barry Enright who made sure that the Sacramento RiverCats' bats would be silenced in Game 2 at Aces Ballpark Thursday night in the best-of-five series.
Enright threw masterfully for Reno going 6.2 innings giving up 1 run on 6 hits with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk. The only blemish for Barry was a Chris Carter solo home run in the 6th inning and that was all the RiverCats would be able to muster up against Enright offensively.

Movie Review: 'The Change-Up' full of nudity, foul language, few redeeming moments
Submitted by Sam Bauman on Wed, 08/10/2011 - 4:14pm
"The Change-Up," an R-rated film now playing at the Fandango Galaxy cineplex in Carson City and elsewhere, plays concurrently with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" at the Galaxy.
"Apes" is probably the best summer fare this year. No way "Change-Up" is going to be on anyone's "best" list, unless it's that of the sophomore class at Carson High. But even young teens, at whom this movie is aimed, surely will know better. It's a lousy take on contemporary American men and society. Director Dave Dobkin makes the trains run on time but with such a lousy load of freight.

Last night, a Rangers fan fell 20 feet onto concrete on his head after reaching out over the railing to catch a baseball tossed by Josh Hamilton.

Bryce Harper looking for a lesson in 'Humble 101'
Submitted by Chris Graham on Tue, 06/07/2011 - 9:22pm
First, it was saluting his opponent’s dugout as he circled third base after hitting a home run last year in a CSN uniform early in the season. Then, it was tossing his bat up 10 feet in the air as he hit a lazy fly-ball in the post-season tournament later in that season. Now, he's blowing kisses to the pitcher as he crosses home plate after a home run. My question is: When will the overpaid #1 draft pick of 2010 learn to just play the game?

Buster Posey's Injury and the Aftermath
Submitted by Chris Graham on Sat, 06/04/2011 - 8:25pm
It just amazes me at what this injury has stirred up. It is absolutely disgusting how Scott Cousins has been treated after this has all happened. The man was playing the game of baseball and sometimes it turns out for the worse. What happened to Posey was horrible, but the hit by Cousins was defined legal by multiple major leaguers including Posey himself. So my question is: Why does it seem like Cousins did something illegal? He and his family have been receiving death threats. I do not get it. Brian Sabean should be ashamed by his latest comments on the situation.
