Predicting the 2012 AL All-Stars

There are still a few days left in voting for the 2012 All-Star Game, but that doesn't mean it is too early to predict the ENTIRE American League All-Star roster.  That's a good thing, because that is just what I went and did.  I'd hate to think I wasted all that time guessing at the […]

America needs a new rivalry

If you are like me, you are beyond tired of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry (and you are also allergic to most pollens, watch a lot of Storage Wars and hate pickles).  Over the past few years, the national TV networks have beaten us over the head with the New York-Boston rivalry at every given opportunity. […]

Rockies going to 4-man rotation, yes, really

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a front-runner for "Worst Managerial Decision of the Year."  To nobody's surprise, it comes from the mind of Rockies manager Jim Tracy, and boy is it a doozy. According to

The worst All-Star ballot possible

Every year fans and media members alike spend a great deal of time wringing their hands over the results of the All-Star voting.  Sure, sometimes someone not 100% deserving gets voted into the game, but we're focusing on the wrong problem here. The real issue is that the ballot everyone is filling out is littered […]

The Rockies rotation is the worst thing ever

Pitching in the thin air at Coors Field is not easy to do, not even with the involvement of the humidor the team adopted a few years ago.  But even factoring in the high degree of difficulty, the starting pitchers for the Colorado Rockies this season have been absolutely nightmarishly terrible. Through games on June […]

Dodgers, Ethier near five-year, $85 million extension

Andre Ethier picked a good year to start putting up career-best numbers.  According  Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Ethier and the LA Dodgers are nearing an agreement on a five-year, $85 million extension that would keep the All-Star outfielder in Dodger Blue through 2017 and possibly 2018 if a vesting option kicks in. This marks […]

Gio Gonzalez needs a date

You would think a rich and famous baseball player would be fighting of women with a stick.  That is apparently not the case for Washington Nationals starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez.  I don't typically concern myself with the love of life of professional baseball players, but sometimes I can't help.  Especially when said player turns to […]

If they become sellers: Miami Marlins

It is never too early to start talking about the trade deadline, especially when we can talk about would-be contenders that might unexpectedly end up being sellers rather than buyers at the deadline.  Over the next few weeks, we'll be taking a look at many of these such teams, and there is a surprisingly large […]

Hatteberg to temporarily replace Fosse as Oakland color commentator

Perhaps hoping to benefit from what little post-Moneyball afterglow remains, the Oakland Athletics announced that they will have former player, and key figure in the Moneyball book and movie, Scott Hatteberg replace long-time color commentator Ray Fosse on TV broadcasts for a 20-game stretch starting June 15th according to a report from the San Francisco […]

Athletics release player who has twins on the way

Pregnancy can be a very stressful time for expecting parents.  If you are a father or mother, you know this all too well, especially during the time when you were about to become a parent for the very first time.  In between the moments of joy and anticipation, you are racked by worry and concern […]

Diamondbacks owner throws Drew and Upton under the bus

The defending NL West champion Arizona Diamondbacks are off to a rough start this year.  They currently sit five games under .500 and nine games out of the division lead.  As you might imagine, frustrations in the desert have been mounting.  Today though, those frustrations all came to the surface, or at least they did […]

The Angels-Rangers rivalry now features cow milking… seriously

The LA Angels and the Texas Rangers have one of the most intense budding rivalries in all of sports.  The two teams have spent the last few years slugging it out for supremacy in the AL West.  They've talked trash.  They've gotten in brawls.  And now… THEY ARE MILKING COWS!!!! Yes, that's right, that was […]
