After injuring his lat muscle on February 17th, Chicago Cubs starter Matt Garza just started playing catch today, and might not be ready for Opening Day for the Cubs. *Of course* he might not be ready for Opening Day. “This is the first step to being ready to start pitching,” he said of the throwing […]

Continuing from our season preview of the Baltimore Orioles earlier today… Can the Orioles recapture their 2012 magic? Every Oriole fan has heard this over and over again in the last year. -Baltimore only had a +7 run differential -The Orioles went an unrepeatable 29-9 in one-run games -The O's lucked into an incredible 16-2 […]

Check out this catch from NC State senior center fielder Brett Williams. During Wednesday's Wolfpack game against New Mexico State, Williams took off on his horse to left center field heading after a fly ball, dove through the air like Superman, caught the ball in midair, and did a FRONT FLIP before landing on his […]

Despite a new haircut, it looks like San Francisco Giants starter Tim Lincecum has the same issues. According to SFGate, the former Cy Young winner is getting sued for $200,000 for destroying the townhouse he rented from May 2010 to February 2011. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom property Lincecum rented at 141 Hampshire St. from May 2010 […]

No team was a bigger surprise in 2012 than the Baltimore Orioles. Even though people still didn't believe in them even as they were playing in the ALDS, the YOLOrioles decided to run it back, entering 2013 with largely the same roster, hoping to once again prove all their critics dead wrong. Orioles on TOC […]

Continuing to float on in the AL East, welcome to Orioles day! Baltimore shockingly made the playoffs last season thanks to a fantastic bullpen, an unbelievable amount of luck in one-run games, and an awesome record against the AL East (they finished .500 or better against every other team in the division). Dan Duquette essentially […]

One of the great things about Milwaukee is that one of Miller Park's racing sausages could be seen in a bar, and nobody would really bat an eye — let alone think that the suit was stolen. Well, it turns out it was, and police currently have no idea where it is. The Klement's Racing […]

The Rays are a franchise that thrives on x-factor type players. Who would have expected that Fernando Rodney would set the record for the lowest single season ERA of all-time in 2012? Who would have expected that a career bench player in Jeff Keppinger would get significant playing time in 2012, and have the best […]

If Pool A in this year's WBC is relatively straightforward and boring, Pool B looks quite different. In this group, there's 2009 WBC runner-up Korea, there's one of the stronger international teams in Chinese Taipei, and there's Australia and the Netherlands, both of whom field fairly strong teams for non-traditional baseball countries. After the jump, […]

Continuing from our season preview of the Tampa Bay Rays earlier today… When will Wil Myers make his jump to the bigs and join the Tampa Bay Rays permanently? When the Rays acquired Myers from the Royals this winter as part of a package for James Shields and Wade Davis, the internet freaked out. The […]

After winning 90 games in 2012, it's pretty clear that the Tampa Bay Rays have established themselves as perennial playoff contenders, even if they didn't make the playoffs last year. But with teams battling age and injury (New York) and teams expected to take a step back in 2013 (Baltimore), the field is a bit […]
