The Tigers trudged through the first five months of the season with no guarantee of a playoff berth, after they simply couldn't jump past the White Sox in the AL Central. Finally, they made their move in September and clinched the division, eventually winning the AL pennant (like many imagined they would) before getting completely […]

Perhaps no team came into the 2012 season with as much hope (and hype) as the Los Angeles Angels.  They finally had a competent General Manager (Jerry Dipoto), they rid themselves of the black hole at catcher by trading Jeff Mathis and bringing in Chris Iannetta, and they signed the best pitcher (CJ Wilson) and […]

If you want to get technical, here in the northeast, it's the calm *after* the storm. Hurricane Sandy has blown through, and while it's still raining, it's nowhere near hurricane quality rain. But that's not the storm I was referring to: I was instead talking about the storm of free agency, which will begin on […]

For four months, the Brewers were one of 2012's bigger disappointments. They fell of the pace in the National League early in the season, they traded Zack Greinke, and they hit their season low of 12 games under .500 on August 19th. Then, like a light switch, the finished the season playing like their hair […]

The 2012 Dodgers started out like a house of fire….and then hit the wall once Matt Kemp went down with hamstring issues, missing most of May and June. The team eventually ceded their NL West lead to the World Champion Giants, despite a summer spending spree that saw them acquire Hanley Ramirez, Josh Beckett, Adrian […]


In 2012, the Pirates almost broke their generation-long losing streak and made a run at a playoff spot for the first time since 1992. Then, they fell apart in an epic collapse that wasted Andrew McCutchen's MVP-level performance in 2012 and squandered a ton of goodwill from the fans. Pirate fans were left watching fans […]

The Chicago White Sox shattered all expectations coming into 2012, and they nearly crept into the playoffs after the heavily favored Detroit Tigers struggled for most of the season. But you know what happened in late September and October: the White Sox fell apart, the Tigers won the division, and eventually, the AL pennant. It'll […]

It's over, and it's done. The 2012 MLB season is in the books, and the San Francisco Giants are World Champions. –Giants 4, Tigers 3 (ten innings) Well, where do we go from here? The offseason is now officially upon us, and before we go fully into offseason mode, we're going to reflect on the […]

We've obviously had quite the bit of World Series coverage over the past week, and with the Giants' win tonight, we figured it would be nice to show you how they took their final lead of the season, and how it ended. NLCS MVP Marco Scutaro singled home Ryan Theriot to put San Francisco in […]

The San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in ten innings in game four of the World Series, and became the champions of baseball with a 4-0 series sweep. For the Giants, it's their second title in three years after not having one since moving from New York to San Francisco after the 1957 […]

Well folks, our 2012 season is about to wrap up. Today could very well be the last day of the season after the Giants took a 3-0 lead in the World Series on the Tigers on Saturday night. –Giants 2, Tigers 0 Regardless or whether the series ends tonight, tomorrow, Wednesday, or maybe even Thursday, […]

With the World Series in an offday yesterday, we took a step back from coverage of the series and focused on the smaller things going on in the game. Two of those small things we looked at were a pair of new logos. The Lexington Legends are wearing a mustache on their alternate cap, while […]
