My pick for the most erratic, uninspired, confusing team of the 2012 season is the Arizona Diamondbacks. They returned nearly their entire 2011 NL West champions team, with the additions of Jason Kubel and Trevor Cahill, along with a full season of Aaron Hill at second base. And what happened? Arizona never showed any spark […]

. Well, this is certainly unique. In Friday's 3-1 Rays loss to the White Sox, Rays shortstop Ben Zobrist (really, he's at short now?) had a grounder from Dayan Viciedo bounce off his glove, bounce off of his head for a second, and fall back into his glove, allowing Zobrist to throw Viciedo out at […]

If you would have told me back in March that I'd be writing this piece in September, I would have looked at you funny. But, here we are. The Phillies never really clicked this year after winning 102 games last year, and took a step backwards in nearly every facet of the game. Injuries also […]

Things are looking rather bleak for a couple of teams in Wild Card races. The Brewers will most certainly be eliminated from the NL race this weekend after getting beaten 7-6 by the Astros. Combined with the Cardinals 12-2 win over the Nationals, Milwaukee is now five out with five to play…one Brewers loss or […]

Pop quiz time. Who was the last National League catcher to win the MVP award? Mike Piazza? Gary Carter? Nope….you have to go all the way back to 1972 when Johnny Bench won his second award in three seasons. And how about the last National League catcher to win the batting title? Get Piazza's name […]

The most compelling playoff race in baseball is a chore for a fan to decide upon, but one thing is for certain: it's in the American League. Four of the five spots in the NL are already locked up, with the Cardinals holding a three game lead with six to play over the Dodgers for […]

Your browser does not support iframes. This could be the play of the year. In the second inning of today's Pirates-Mets game, Mike Baxter of the Mets bashed a Kevin Correia pitch deep to right field that looked like a surefire home run. Pittsburgh right fielder Travis Snider continued his run of amazing defense by […]

Well, this is certainly something. Injured Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden, who is typically very proud of his upbringing in Stockton, California, was nearly ejected from an anti-violence rally in the town on Wednesday. Braden began to yell at the police chief who was speaking at the rally, claiming that the police in town are […]

After what seems like six months of underachieving, the Detroit Tigers are finally all alone in first place in the AL Central. It comes at a great time in the season, with just seven games to go in the year for Detroit and the second place Chicago White Sox, who have led the division for […]

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price posted this video on his Twitter of this fantastic bit of rookie hazing before tonight's Rays game in Boston against the Red Sox. Tampa's rookies dressed like Jane Fonda, complete with colored leotards, headbands and wigs, and did a little dance in the outfield while "Call Me Maybe" played […]
