Ah yes, here we are…the first edition of the End of Season Post-Mortem series. If you're new here (which about 90% of our reader base is in comparison to last year), here's a brief explanation: after a team is eliminated from the playoffs, we're going to put their season under a microscope and look at […]

The Detoit Tigers welcomed the Chicago White Sox into the Motor City on Friday with a sole purpose: sweep the series and move into a first place tie with the pale hose. Well, here on Monday…mission accomplished. The Tigers completed the sweep on Sunday night, beating the White Sox 4-2 behind another fantastic performance from […]

Back on May 2nd, the Braves beat the Phillies 15-13 in 11 innings on a walkoff homer by Chipper Jones in one of the craziest games of the year. Four months to the day later…Jones did it again, hitting a three-run homer off of Jonathan Papelbon in the bottom of the ninth to give the […]

Texas Rangers top prospect Jurickson Profar, just called up to the major league roster this weekend, wasted no time in proving his worth. In his first major league at bat on Sunday against the Indians, Profar took a Zack McAllister pitch deep over the right field wall for the first homer of his career.  Pirates […]

The Tigers are just one game out of the top spot in the AL Central after topping the White Sox 5-1 last night in Detroit. Francisco Liriano turned back into a pumpkin for Chicago, and was no match for a game Max Scherzer. The Tigers offense tripled three teams, giving the team ample opportunity for […]

Craig Kimbrel's standing among relievers in baseball is either 1 or 1A. He had only blown two saves this year going into last night's game with the Phillies, and hadn't allowed a run in since July 20th. Kimbrel also had allowed just three hits in the entire month of August. With the Braves leading 5-4 […]

This is…weird. During the first three innings of Thursday's Giants-Astros game, Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro was wearing the "correct" Giants road jersey, with "San Francisco" spelled out across the front. In the fourth inning in the field, he was wearing the Giants' road alternate jersey, which has the interlocking SF on the front. Then […]

Your browser does not support iframes. During the amazing Vin Scully tribute night at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, it was a game filled with offensive struggles for the white and blue. With none out in the ninth inning, Hanley Ramirez laced a ball down the left field line that hooked foul. A fan reached over […]

After the Washington Nationals underwent a five game losing streak starting last weekend, people (myself included) wondered if the shoe has finally dropped on their year. Well…maybe we jumped to conclusions a little quickly. Washington smashed the defending champion Cardinals 8-1 on Thursday night, led by a gem from Edwin Jackson, acquired by St Louis […]

Remember last month's hustle controversy with Jimmy Rollins? Well, it's reared its ugly head again.  During Thursday's Mets-Phillies game, Rollins hit an infield pop-up near the pitcher's mound in the sixth inning. Rollins dejectedly began to trot down to first base…only to see Mets pitcher Jonathon Niese drop the ball. Rollins easily made it to […]

One of the latest (and greatest) memes online today is "Gangnam Style", a Korean dance music video that has exploded since being released on Youtube in the middle of July. For the record "gangnam style" is apparently a synonym of more American terms swag and YOLO…OK, I'm feeling very old explaining all of this. Anyway, […]
