Apparently not yet satisfied with the public shaming he received after his full page "explanation" ad in a local paper, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has now gone straight to the press to explain himself further. As you might expect, it didn't go well. In a progressively contentious 25-minute interview with the Miami Herald Loria proved […]

Matt den Dekker of the New York Mets is working hard in an attempt to procure himself a spot on New York's Opening Day roster. He spent last year split between AA Binghamton and AAA Buffalo, and the 25-year old posted a .779 OPS with 17 homers between the two levels. In the seventh inning, […]

Thanks in large part to an extremely strong draft in 2011, the Sox have a strong base of prospects that could be making their way to the majors over the next couple of seasons. My Top 10 1. Xander Bogaerts SS/3B 2. Matt Barnes SP 3. Jackie Bradley Jr. OF 4. Allen Webster SP […]

On Saturday in the Blue Jays-Tigers Spring Training opener, Prince Fielder hit a mammoth homer into the parking lot at Joker Marchant Stadium. During today's Tigers-Phillies game at Bright House Field in Clearwater, it was Miguel Cabrera's turn. In the top of the fifth inning, with Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon on the mound, Cabrera connected […]

With as many high-priced, well-known players as the Red Sox have, finding a player to call an x-factor might be a little tough. Ortiz, Pedroia, Ellsbury, Victorino, Lester, Buchholz…all of these guys are expected to be key parts of the team in 2013. My x-factor for the Boston Red Sox in 2013 is Will Middlebrooks. […]

This week, you will read quite a few World Baseball Classic previews that will start with a joke about the World Baseball Classic starting on Friday/Saturday and no one even realizing that it was happening. These jokes will be wrong, because the World Baseball Classic actually started with a qualifying round that happened last September. […]

From our season preview of the Boston Red Sox earlier today… Can the Red Sox avoid making headlines for all of the wrong reasons? In the last two years, the Red Sox have been front page news for all of the following: -An epic September collapse -Players drinking beer and eating fried chicken in the […]

What else can baseball fans do in January but dream of October? In You May Say I'm a Dreamer, the Outside Corner staff will imagine the route to a World Series in 2013 title for all 30 teams. No one expected the Boston Red Sox to completely collapse like they did in 2012. By the […]

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but the Red Sox season was rocked by clubhouse turmoil. For the second straight season, Boston was a bitter disappointment, only this time it led to a roster purge. They reloaded in the off-season though and are hoping that they can claw their way back into contention […]

We've now entered week three of our six week preview series, and this week will be focusing on the AL East. Today, we're heading into Red Sox day, chock-full of pieces focusing on the most disappointing team of the 2012 season, a team that has reloaded with veterans for 2013. On Friday, we concluded our […]

In the bottom of the first inning in today's Angels-Athletics game, A's right fielder Chris Young made this tremendous leaping, diving catch on a liner hit by Brendan Harris of the Angels. The catch ended the inning, and saved two runs for the A's. Michael Taylor would pinch hit for Young in the top of […]

Curt Schilling's financial problems have led him to auction off one of his famous bloody socks. The stained sock he wore in Game 2 of the 2004 World Series, pitching six innings on a sutured ankle, was sold to an anonymous bidder for $92,613. The more famous bloody sock — the one from Game 6 […]

In Sunday's edition of the Miami Herald, Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria took out a full page ad and wrote an open letter to Marlins fans. Upon reading the letter, it proves to me that Loria still has no idea what the hell he's doing running the team. Go ahead and give that letter to […]
