Top 6 Most Shocking Games of All Time: Part 2

If you had to pick a handful of games played over baseball’s rich history, which ones would stand out the most?  You’d possibly be a little biased and focus on the era you grew up in, only because of the familiarity. Or you’d be focused on games that took place closer to where you’ve lived, [...]

Off-Season Baseball Awards

As winter approaches and the ’09 baseball season fades into memory, we once again recognize/reward some deserving individuals: *The first annual EARL WEAVER/FULL PACK Award:  Chris Ray of the Orioles.  Formerly an effective closer, the guy gave up 64 hits and surrendered eight HR’s in just 43 innings this year while pitching to an ERA of 7.27–giving Orioles fans more [...]

Watching From The Couch

Imagine playing baseball for 22 years and suddenly – Poof!  It’s over.  Imagine playing from mid-February until the final weekend of September, grinding and pushing and throwing your body and mind and soul completely at one goal and – Poof!  It’s over.  That’s what it’s like for the guys watching the post-season from their couches [...]

Phillies Need One More

After a tough loss in game two of the NLCS in Los Angeles, the Phillies have responded well to returning to Citizen’s Bank Park, and are now just one win away from getting back to the World Series title to defend their crown.
In Game 3 on Monday night, Philadelphia clobbered the Dodgers, 11-0. Every player [...]

Phillies Miscues Gives The Dodgers Game 2 of NLCS

To make sure they would leave Los Angeles with a split in this best-of-seven National League Championship Series, the Dodgers needed a little help. They got it, but not from a place they expected.
Like Matt Holiday’s dropped fly ball in the NLDS, the Dodgers won Game 2 when Andre Ethier coaxed a bases-loaded, two-out walk [...]

Phillies Take Game One of NLCS

The Phillies were able to take game one of the best of seven with the Dodgers last night in a pitching duel/offensive outburst. In a game that was pegged as a great pitching matchup between Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and Cole Hamels of the Phillies, it lived up to its billing until the fifth [...]

The Off Season Cometh

…And some guys can’t wait.  After the last 7+ months of hanging around 25 other guys, many of whom were the same over these last 7+ months, you can get pretty sick of some faces.  Players love to talk about the camaraderie after they retire, how much they miss it and, if they could come [...]

September Sprints

It’s September.  The pennant races are officially pennant races.  The whole, “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon” thing can be thrown out like Prince Fielder trying to steal second base because, yes, it’s a sprint.
This isn’t just a sprint of teams trying to make the final eight.  It’s also a sprint of September call-ups, [...]

A Cap For Newly Signed Amateurs To Try On

The amateur draft signing deadline was Monday night and top pick Stephen Strasberg signed with the Nationals for over $15 million.  Good for Stephen.
But…
I don’t like it.  I am in total, unequivocal favor of a salary cap for draftees.  Isn’t that ironic?  The players have been fighting against a salary cap for years, like in 1994 [...]

Head Games

One of the easiest things to do in the world is quit.  Not doing well in school?  Just quit.  Having a tough go in your marriage?  Quit.  You’ve thrown a thousand curveballs that never curve?  So quit.  Giving up today is easy if you don’t think about what you could have done if you’d kept [...]
