In our next Movember MLB Mustache Madness Current Player Semi-Final, we get an epic slugger versus an epic slappy, but we also get two epic mustaches.  What more could you ask for? Jose Bautista Joey Bats has the power and the power mustache, but is his short-liven flirtation with an upper lip umbrella enough to […]

As we continue through another installment, I’d like to take the time to remind the new and old that a 2012 Baseball America Prospect Handbook goes to the person who can figure out my methodology for picking the next team. So far, we’ve had the Padres, Pirates, Nationals, Angels, Tigers, Orioles, and Rockies, and we’ll […]

The Movember MLB Mustache Madness is starting to get serious as we move on to the regional semi-finals.  Gone are all the pretenders to the mustachioed throne as only the best of the best remain.  Starting off the current players bracket semi-finals is a battery of under nose brooms that any man would envy. John […]

While the rest of the world waits to find out whether or not Jose Reyes will sign with the Marlins, the Arizona Diamondbacks were busy signing a middle infielder of their own, Aaron Hill. The Snakes made a mid-season swap of disappointing second baseman by trading Kelly Johnson to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange […]

It’s being reported by Jon Morosi of FOXSports that the defending World Champion St Louis Cardinals have named former Cardinals catcher Mike Matheny as manager. The hiring may come as a surprise to some, who considered long-time Cardinals coach Jose Oquendo as the odds-on favorite to be named the successor to Tony La Russa, who […]

After all the chaos that unfolded this week for the Philadelphia Phillies, first agreeing but not agreeing with Ryan Madson, and then signing Jonathan Papelbon, there was a general consensus opinion online among Phillies fans and non-Phillies fans alike: that the team would have overpaid for either player. There are just as many critics of […]

In the information age, no rebranding effort stays under wraps for very long. Such is the case with the new Miami Marlins logo, which leaked months ago on internet message boards and social media. When it was first unveiled, reaction wasn’t kind. Critics knocked everything about the logo, from the 2-dimensional marlin flying out of […]

The Minnesota Twins just agreed to a 2-year, $7 million contract with former Dodgers middle infielder Jamey Carroll on Friday. Carroll is being signed to be the everyday shortstop for the Twins, a year after the signing of Tsuyoshi Nishioka turned out to be a failure on EVERY level and options like Alexi Casilla, Matt […]

On Tuesday, we reported that the Philadelphia Phillies had signed closer Ryan Madson to a four year, $44 million deal. Wednesday came along, and we learned that the deal was never officially agreed to or approved by Phillies owner David Montgomery. Today, the Phillies stepped away from Madson, and signed former Boston Red Sox closer […]

With thanks to Daniel Moroz of Camden Crazies, this is the sixth installment of our Top 10 prospect lists. At this point, we’ve had the Padres, Pirates, Nationals, Angels, Tigers, and Orioles, and the Rockies, Reds, and Braves are headed your way next week. Remember, there’s a 2012 Baseball America Prospect Handbook on the line […]

Our final Movember MLB Mustache Madness matchup of the second round.  What do they have in common?  Well, nothing unless Matt Shoemaker also turns out to be made of felt. Bernie Brewer Every single Brewer representative dominated in the first round and Bernie was no exception as he embarrassed Mr. Red Legs by garnering 79% […]

Four fakes mustaches entered the Movember MLB Mustache Madness Wild Card bracket, but only one is going to leave. Bobby Valentine I still can’t believe that he actually had a fake mustache on standby in case he got ejected.  Dallas Braden still can’t believe his fake mustache got beaten 80% to 20% by Bobby V’s. […]

The Hot Stove League may be off to a tepid start this off-season, but the rumors are finally starting to pick up.  No, it isn’t the usual suspects (the Yankees and Red Sox) heating things up, instead, the hottest rumors all seem to be coming from the Marlins.  Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!? http://youtube.com/watch?v= yqyixwqiCag[/youtube] Yes, that’s right, […]

In our next Movember MLB Mustache Madness Wild Card second round showdown, we see what happens when the guy that signs the checks is forced to go whisker-to-whisker with the guy that spends the money. Arte Moreno His team can’t win their own division anymore, but maybe his 83% of the vote victory in the […]

Round 2 of Movember MLB Mustache Madness is almost done, but we’ve saved the best bracket for last, the Wild Card bracket!  Let’s start it off with famed baseball movie mustache versus a guy who supposedly writes about baseball but seems more concerned with movies and pop culture. The Manager from Major League, Lou Brown […]
