This is actually quite painful to watch: a video highlighting the events that have gone on since the Pirates' 1992 season ended. Since that year, the team has gone out to put together an unreal 20 straight losing seasons. Some of the highlights include… -Five (soon to be six in about five weeks) US presidential […]

The Brewers were plucky this year. After the All-Star Break, the team went 41-33 and played their way into contention, but it was too little too late, and they were just too far out in the NL Central. There will be no repeat title for Milwaukee in 2012, But after trading ace Zack Greinke, the […]

Well, this is it. The final set of games before the playoffs begin on Friday with the Wild Card games. Or, maybe Thursday if we have any tiebreakers to settle. With three games left, here's what we know… -In the National League, not much changed. Atlanta can still tie Washington for the NL East title […]

Your daily playoff updates… -The Nationals are probably going to end up winning the NL East after last night's 6-4 win over the Cardinals. Their magic number to clinch is now at one, meaning that at worst, they've clinched a one game playoff. -Speaking of the Cardinals, their lead in the NL Wild Card is […]

My pick for the most erratic, uninspired, confusing team of the 2012 season is the Arizona Diamondbacks. They returned nearly their entire 2011 NL West champions team, with the additions of Jason Kubel and Trevor Cahill, along with a full season of Aaron Hill at second base. And what happened? Arizona never showed any spark […]

. Well, this is certainly unique. In Friday's 3-1 Rays loss to the White Sox, Rays shortstop Ben Zobrist (really, he's at short now?) had a grounder from Dayan Viciedo bounce off his glove, bounce off of his head for a second, and fall back into his glove, allowing Zobrist to throw Viciedo out at […]

If you would have told me back in March that I'd be writing this piece in September, I would have looked at you funny. But, here we are. The Phillies never really clicked this year after winning 102 games last year, and took a step backwards in nearly every facet of the game. Injuries also […]

Things are looking rather bleak for a couple of teams in Wild Card races. The Brewers will most certainly be eliminated from the NL race this weekend after getting beaten 7-6 by the Astros. Combined with the Cardinals 12-2 win over the Nationals, Milwaukee is now five out with five to play…one Brewers loss or […]

The great thing about baseball is that you see things you have never seen before all the time even though the game has been played since forever.  Today's example is brought to us by Blue Jays pitcher Chad Jenkins whose cat-like reflexes allowed him to catch a scorching comebacker only to have it knock his […]

Pop quiz time. Who was the last National League catcher to win the MVP award? Mike Piazza? Gary Carter? Nope….you have to go all the way back to 1972 when Johnny Bench won his second award in three seasons. And how about the last National League catcher to win the batting title? Get Piazza's name […]

The most compelling playoff race in baseball is a chore for a fan to decide upon, but one thing is for certain: it's in the American League. Four of the five spots in the NL are already locked up, with the Cardinals holding a three game lead with six to play over the Dodgers for […]

Your browser does not support iframes. This could be the play of the year. In the second inning of today's Pirates-Mets game, Mike Baxter of the Mets bashed a Kevin Correia pitch deep to right field that looked like a surefire home run. Pittsburgh right fielder Travis Snider continued his run of amazing defense by […]
