This will without a doubt be a season of transition for Major League Baseball.
For that reason, we’re going to see some good, some bad and some weird things. Here’s what to look out for in the coming 162-game grind known as the MLB regular season.
-The MLB regular season has already started, but spring training is [...]
Even after all the rule changes and tweaks made for Sunday’s night Pro Bowl, the game itself was so terribly blah that the only redeeming thing about it was the final few minutes.
So the time has come and I have taken it upon myself to fix all-star games once and for all. Yes, we’re not [...]
Baseball is at its best when everything is on the line. In October, every at bat feels like it means something. That couldn’t be truer than for the World Series matchup of St. Louis and Boston.
Why is that you ask? Because both of these teams have pitching staffs that look unhittable.
That was the big story [...]
Baseball sure knows how to fire up fans for the playoffs.
How’s this for starters: Three nights in a row with a one-off, all-in game to make the Division series. This will be baseball at its finest.
I’ve long contended that post-season baseball is the biggest upgrade over its regular-season product, but this could be next-level stuff. [...]
The Biogenesis bans have finally been handed down after weeks of speculation and some pretty on-the-nose reports. The aftermath: 12 players, including three all-stars, were suspended for 50 games while Ryan Braun had previously accepted a 65-game ban.

Quick Tangent: That was always one of my favourite trivia questions. ‘What [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, nights have been getting a lot less hectic in the sports world. Well, that’s understandable considering both the NHL and NBA have completed their seasons and have moved into their free agency periods – times where there are more rumours and reports than actual substance.
Want to know what you’ve been [...]
This may sound a bit weird coming from a guy that wrote how we shouldn’t be so quick to expect a title, or even the playoffs, from the Jays, but let’s not be so quick to condemn this team. Let’s just say that this is the optimist’s side of things, something a commenter suggested I [...]
There has been much ink spilled over the Toronto Blue Jays splashing a lot of money and overhauling their roster in the offseason. Now, with tonight’s opener, it’s finally time to put those players to the test and embark on a 162-game journey which will hopefully arrive at the playoffs come October.
But is it right [...]
This season it seems that major league baseball is marking a serious changing of the guard. Never have we seen so many legends just barely hanging on at the ends of their careers and such tantalizing prospects ready to take the reigns as tomorrow’s heroes.
