So last night I had this glorious dream. It was the best dream a man can have. Yes pervs, I was more disappointed waking up from this dream than a dream of any female from my youth or past. I had this dream that the Reds were in the World Series, and I cannot remember who against. They ...

Zach Greinke's 2009 campaign started out pretty unbelievably, and it ends with an American League Cy Young Award . Greinke went 16-8 with a 2.16 ERA, throwing 6 complete games, 3 shutouts, and striking out 242 hitters in just over 229 innings pitched. He allowed only 51 walks. ...

Is Grady Sizemore the next Cleveland Indian to be shipped out? " I fully expect the Indians to go to battle this season with Sizemore in center field. However, if the blow-it-up-and-rebuild mode continues through 2010, those No. 24 jerseys that are oh so popular in the confines of Progressive ...

There's a lot out there about the Reds dealing some veterans in the offseason. MLB Trade Rumors makes some sense of it: SI.com's Jon Heyman reported yesterday that the Cincinnati Reds might field offers for Brandon Phillips, Francisco Cordero, and Bronson Arroyo. We've heard plenty of ...

You can usually take Bill James' predictions with a grain of salt. But as long as he's giving you good marks, there should be no reason for concern. If James can forsee a big season on the horizon, then it's as likely to happen as any other prognosticator. And James sees a big year in 2010 ...

Yesterday's news brought the pleasant surprise that the Cincinnati Reds are again looking to slash payroll . And you know that we're not going to be happy about this. Why? Because we remember when Bob Castellini took the role of the village idiot and declared that 'the losing stops NOW!' ...

This offseason has started with a bang. The 2008 Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum was found to have 3.3 grams of pot on him in a traffic stop on October 30th. This isn't a huge shocker really as Lincecum just seems (forgive us) to be a guy in MLB that would have a higher probability of ...

Where do the 2009 Yankees rank? According to the Times, this was the 12th best Yankees championship team of all time. I'd have probably ranked them a little big higher at least in the top ten. Then again, I never saw any of the Yankees teams before the 1996 Yankees (who were ranked 26 of 27). [ ...

Just want to point out that Brad Lidge is the same man we always thought he was. Another big game, another meltdown . If it weren't for 2008's anomaly, Lidge would be known as the Donnie Moore of the 2000's era. Even with his perfect 2008 season, he's really still just a shitshow. ...

Pujols wants to remain a Cardinal for life. Breathe easy Cardinals fans. Although he's putting it in God's hands, Pujols actually mentions in a quote about remaining a Cardinal for life. We have a feeling that move to hire McGwire as the hitting coach was a move Pujols liked a lot. [ STL Today ...
