Throughout the World Series, we’ll be keeping an eye on the race to win the World Series MVP. After each game we’ll rank the top candidates for the award based on their performance and intangible worthiness for the big honor. Four games down and we are no closer to knowing who is going to win this […]

We finally got ourselves a tightly […]

Throughout the World Series, we’ll be keeping an eye on the race to win the World Series MVP. After each game we’ll rank the top candidates for the award based on their performance and intangible worthiness for the big honor. With another lopsided victory in Game 2, no true heroes have yet emerged to become obvious […]

Throughout the World Series, we’ll be keeping an eye on the race to win the World Series MVP. After each game we’ll rank the top candidates for the award based on their performance and intangible worthiness for the big honor. After a lopsided Game 1, the frontrunners for the awards are fairly obvious, but we have plenty […]

The AL East was expected to be a dogfight between the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays this year. Instead, the Baltimore Orioles shocked them all and ran away with the division. So how exactly did they go about making everyone look so stupid for overlooking them? Preseason Prediction: The Orioles face a pretty tall task if […]

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That seems to be the motto around Citi Field as they are getting set to move the fences in as part of an attempt to boost the team’s offense. This might sound familiar because the Mets already tried this tact back in 2011. Via Kristie Ackert […]

Yesterday, the Rockies finally moved on from their bizarre tandem GM arrangement that has led them to four straight years of 88 or more losses. This is a great sign of progress for a very backwards organization, right? NOPE. It turns out that clearing out Dan O’Dowd and Bill Geivett wasn’t there intention at all. In […]

A lot of heads have rolled in the last few months for the GMs in the NL with the Padres, Diamondbacks and Rockies all making changes in their front office. It looks like a toupee-adorned head is about to be added to that bunch. Feeling among number of

According to reports, the GM tandem of Dan O’Dowd and Bill Geivett are finished with the Colorado Rockies. In so doing, they bring to an end one of the longest-tenured but most dysfunctional front offices in baseball. Or at least they have nominally because Colorado has already named a new GM in Jeff Bridich, who had […]

The good news is that the Angels finally were able to ride the greatness of Mike Trout to a postseason berth and that Trout will surely take him the first of what should have been three AL MVPs. The bad news is that their league-best 98 wins only silenced their critics for a short time […]

After surviving that crazy exciting AL Wild Card game, the Royals earned themselves the privilege of taking on the team with the best record in baseball and the best player in the universe in the ALDS. For Kansas City, they are pretty much playing with house money after advancing to the postseason for the first time […]

It is now year three of the two-Wild Card format in year three. Three years of being forced to watch the most unnatural thing in all of baseball: the one-game playoff series. There is nothing about baseball that lends itself to a one-game, winner-take-all format. With a regular season nearly twice as longer as any […]

The Phillies just don’t know when to quit. They really should quit. It was another season of the Phillies trying to win with almost the exact same roster that lost 89 games the year before, only older. As you, but not Ruben Amaro Jr., probably guessed, it didn’t go very well. Preseason Prediction: I think third place […]

The Reds nearly got no-hit by Jake Arrieta last night. They ended up “only” getting one-hit. So how did Reds manager Bryan Price respond? HE BENCHED EVERYONE: Well, pretty close to it, anyway. Ryan Ludwick and Ramon Santiago are semi-regular players. Perhaps Price didn’t want to take this exercise too far and actually end up getting […]

For a team fighting to avoid finishing last in their division and on their way to their third losing season in the last four years, things are actually looking up for the White Sox. Armed with an MVP-level slugger and one of the best pitchers alive, the White Sox are very quietly shaping up as a […]
