Teams with unfinished business entering Spring Training

Men are natural procrastinators.  This is probably why a majority of you reading this didn’t buy your special lady anything for Valentine’s Day until your drive home from work this last Tuesday evening.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  Your mother taught you better than that. But fret not, because you aren’t alone.  Men procrastinate […]

Constantly rebuilding A’s extend Billy Beane through 2019

It’s been a pretty good year for Billy Beane, sure, the Athletics are coming off a disappointing 74-win season, but Beane himself has been immortalized on film by Brad Pitt’s Oscar-nominated performance in Moneyball and now Billy is on the verge of completing a deal to extend his tenure in Oakland through the 2019 season. […]

Rangers’ Hamilton Had an Alcohol Relapse

The headline pretty much says it all, Josh Hamilton has reportedly had a relapse with alcohol in the last week. While details about the incident are still sparse, at best, this is major news as Hamilton is probably the most famous recovering addict in all of sports.  Not only is there the obvious personal element […]

Jerry Dipoto: Angels GM and… Pen Pal?

Is Moving Miguel Cabrera to Third Secretly A Weight Loss Plan?

Depending on your way of thinking, the Detroit Tigers’ decision to make room for Prince Fielder by moving Miguel Cabrera to third base ranges from being a questionable decision to a catastrophically stupid one. Miggy is a fantastic hitter but, even at first base, he is a miserable defender.  At third… gentlemen, start your blooper […]

The Lame (and Not So Lame) Duck Managers of 2012

Every year a handful of managers enter the season with contracts that expire once the season ends.  These are the proverbial “lame duck” managers. Most of the time, being a lame duck serves as the ultimate signal from club management that the manager’s job is on the line.  In more rare cases, the situation is […]

The Most Ignored Rules in the Major Leagues

Rules.  Major League Baseball has them by the dozens.  Just look through the official rule book.  The last printing of which was 150+ pages with hundreds of rules, many of which had several addendums and clarifications.  It is a wonder how umpiring crews can keep them all straight. Actually, it isn’t.  The umpires don’t keep […]

What Would the Houston Astros Change Their Name To?

New Astros owner Jim Crane held a press conference yesterday and the theme of the event was change.  Lower ticket prices?  Yes.  Lower beer prices?  Hell yes.  New uniforms?  Probably soon.  Changing the team name from Astros to something else?  Say whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?! Crane says they’ll even evaluate the name “Astros” before next year. No change […]

Where Have All the Expos Gone?

Another one bites the dust.  With Orlando Cabrera announcing his retirement yesterday, we lose one of the last few players that can be largely identified with the now defunct Montreal Expos.  It is a club that might soon be extinct, actually.  Out of all the remaining “true” Expos, just Vladimir Guerrero and, arguably, Javier Vazquez […]

The Miami Marlins and Reality TV, A Match Made in Heaven

Some consider reality TV to be the lowest form of entertainment on earth (after the “comedy” Whitney, that is).  Some of us absolutely eat that stuff up.  Whatever camp you fall into, I think we can all agree that watching a reality TV series featuring the Miami Marlins is an absolute must-see.  Lucky for all […]
