Well I hope you didn’t draft your fantasy baseball team already; you could be into some closer trouble already. Aside from races that are far from being settled, like the Rays and Jays, one of the premier ninth-inning men has already gone down.
Joe Nathan of the Twins, who had 47 saves and a 2.10 ERA [...]
Can you believe that we are living in a world in which the Winter Olympics are going on and that isn’t stopping pitchers and catchers from reporting to Spring Training? Spring Training and Winter Olympics going on at the same time? Sounds like some sort of paradox.
It could be easily argued that these Games hardly [...]
Is anyone really that shocked that Mark McGwire used steroids en route to hitting 70 home runs in a season? No, you can’t really be when you consider all the data that’s against him and the era he played in and the allegations that were already flying around him. In short, the real news here [...]
There’s been plenty of movement in baseball’s free agent market, but two of the top-three free agents still haven’t signed on with a team. Only John Lackey’s free agency fate has been decided while Matt Holliday and Jason Bay are still looking for work. It’s not like they’ll be without teams for long, but I [...]
It’s the end of an era for the Toronto Blue Jays. No longer can the team boast a perennial award candidate or a player who would be taken in the first two rounds of your fantasy draft. Yes, Roy Halladay is gone. It may not be 100% certain yet, but the mere fact that the [...]
That’s a lot of initials.
The baseball off-season couldn’t really be a more anti-climatic time for awards. Really, why wait until almost a month after the season has ended to hand out the year’ss honours? Couldn’t MLB hand out the four biggest awards: AL and NL Cy Youngs and AL and NL MVPs during the World [...]
MLB free agency is right around the corner and, for the first time that I can remember, there isn’t a true megastar available to be had. Sure, there are plenty of guys available in the trade market, but teams these days are very hesitant to either give up their stars or give up their prospects. [...]
The New York Yankees finished up the World Series last night, pounding the Philadelphia Phillies and got to celebrate their 27th World Championship in front of their home town fans. And, really, it’s about time these guys got it done. When you have a roster that has topped $200-million in salary the past few years [...]
Having followed the Toronto Blue Jays in recent years, it came to no surprise what happened last night in Philadelphia; in fact, the result was almost expected. Game 5 of the World Series featured one of A.J. Burnett’s classic, inevitable blow ups. 2 innings, four hits and six earned runs into the game, he was [...]
It’s hard to believe that a team like the Angels, that prides itself on playing excellent small-ball and defence, would literally throw away the most important game of their season. How they muffed up two bunts in a row just slays me. First, Kendrick straight up drops the throw to first and then Scott Kazmir [...]
