Today, […]

The Philadelphia Phillies fell flat on their faces for the majority of the 2012 season. It took a strong run towards the end of the year to get them back to .500 for the year. And even then, they still fell 17 games back of the division-winning Washington Nationals. Heading into 2013, the Phils and […]

The New York Mets are going to need production from unlikely sources in 2013. On offense, it's really just David Wright and Ike Davis. The rotation is solid for the Mets, but is led by a pair of oft-injured starters in Johan Santana and Shaun Marcum. The bullpen…well, the bullpen will probably be better than […]

Continuing from our season preview of the Mets earlier today… Can the Mets possibly go forward with this patchwork outfield? To say that the Mets outfield is unsettled is an understatement. If the season were to start today, the outfield would be manned by a rotating cast of five different men, possibly six if a […]

They lost R.A. Dickey but kept David Wright. More importantly, the Mets' owners might have actually sorted out their financial mess. With potential money to spend and some top prospects on their way, 2013 could be the start of the Mets' resurgence. Mets on TOC End of Season Postmortem Hope for the Hopeless 2013 Season […]

Tampa Bay Rays DH Luke Scott is a bizarre man. When Scott showed up at Rays Spring Training on Monday, he showed up with the head of a boar in tow.

Welcome one and welcome all to a true baseball sideshow…New York Mets Day here on The Outside Corner! Let's be honest, it's probably going to be a pretty depressing year in Flushing, but that doesn't mean we can completely write the Mets off. Speaking of depressing teams, yesterday was Marlins Day here at TOC, and […]
