A month ago, nobody would have ever guessed that Tampa would even be involved in the post-season but a big September (and a horrible Red Sox collapse) later and the Rays are poised to be the Cinderella of the playoff ball.  However, with the defending AL Champion Texas Rangers standing in there way, could the […]

For a guy who was once the toast of Red Sox Nation, Johnny Damon seems to be doing literally everything in his power to make Red Sox fans forget about his one-time status as a Boston cult hero. In 2005 he turned down an offer from the Red Sox to take more money and more […]

When they say everything is bigger in Texas, they aren’t kidding.  The Rangers were a big surprise when they won the AL pennant in 2010.  They made that fantastic run, the first real post-season success in the franchise’s history, on the strength of a potent lineup and the arm of Cliff Lee.  Lee may be […]

Start times for this weekend’s playoff games have still yet to be determined, but it’s becoming clear that sports fans in the state of Wisconsin are going to be facing a major dilemma. Do I watch the Brewers-Diamondbacks game 1 NLDS matchup or do I go with No. 7 Wisconsin taking on No. 8 Nebraska […]

Hours after the greatest regular season collapse in Major League Baseball history was authored by a team many felt was invincible coming into the season, the shock is still settling in across the baseball world. To have a team that was built that strong get taken down by the likes of Nolan Reimold and Robert […]

Within maybe ten or fifteen minutes of each other on Wednesday night, all of baseball’s postseason races were wrapped up succinctly. The Braves fell to the Phillies, 4-3 in 13 innings to give the NL Wild Card to the Cardinals. The Red Sox lost 4-3 to the Orioles in heartbreaking fashion. And the Rays battled […]

Positions are still being jockeyed for in the American and National League playoff races. All the division leaders are decided, and the teams who will possess home field advantage throughout the playoffs have been decided…but with one game left, we still don’t know which teams are going to open the postseason at home. The Rangers […]

Well here we are. Today is the final day of the MLB season…maybe. We could have one game tomorrow. We could have two games tomorrow. But right now, all we know for sure is that the Braves, Cardinals, Rays and Red Sox are all in must-win mode. Boston and Tampa Bay are tied at the […]

When August ended, the Boston Red Sox lead the Yankees by a game and a half and the Rays by nine games in the AL East. Since then, the Rays have gone 15-10, which is worse than all three of the surefire American League playoff teams and the Royals in September, but they’ve closed the entire […]

After months of speculation, it looks like the long rumored divorce between Ozzie Guillen and the Chicago White Sox is official: Monday night ended the eight-year run of Ozzie Guillen managing the White Sox after the say-anything skipper met with board chairman Jerry Reinsdorf at the United Center earlier in the day. The meeting lasted […]

The San Francisco Giants will have an early vacation this season and part of their failure to make the playoffs can be set upon the shoulders of their 2010 success. They may have won the World Series last season, but the organization was naïve to think that they could build a 2011 champion based upon […]
