What a wild weekend in football. I had
a great time yesterday at the Giants game, though
it should have never gotten to the point it did. As Mike Francesca said last night: if the Giants don't win the coin flip, I'm not sure they win the game. The defense has just become totally unimaginative ...

Lots and lots of links but only one
Derek Jeter. He's with Minka Kelly courtesy of the
New York Post on the right. Two great visuals from the World Series to start us out. The first is the Gigapan Photo . This thing is ridiculous. They had this at the inauguration as well and it's just ...

While the free agent market officially opened at
midnight last night, the trade market has been brewing
for a while. The Yankees have been linked to two pitching names who they were linked to at another time in 2009: Roy Halladay and Derek Lowe. The Yankees went after Lowe last offseason before ...

The great thing about baseball is that it
continues to evolve. One way it has certainly evolved
is in the use of advanced metrics to be able to qualify players. So it was to very few people's surprise that after relying on statistics like "wins" and "saves" "fielding percentage" and ...

Saw this tweet today: " @MLB: Ryan Howard
is 30 today and will hit more homers than
his age in 2010. HAPPY BIRTHDAY #Phillies @philaphillies " and thought maybe I should figure out who are the oldest hitters who hit more home runs than their age. The Answers: Hank Aaron (40) and Barry Bonds ...

When I was at Brandeis University, one of
my favorite activities was calling the men's and women's
basketball games for WBRS, the campus radio station. One of the coolest things was being able to announce an NCAA tournament game during my senior year. Since I've graduated, I've tried to ...

So I'm 2/3 in the Awards season predictions
so far. Zack Greinke overwhelmingly won the Cy Young,
getting 25 of 28 first place votes. Felix Hernandez had two first place votes and some Detroit homer (probably the same guy who voted Magglio Ordonez for MVP a few years back) voted Justin ...

We looked at Part 1 of the MLB
Awards yesterday . Here are the top players in
baseball...as far as I'm concerned at least. American League MVP Joe Mauer - Not even a competition. He led the league in all the slashes (BA/OBP/SLG)--as a catcher. He also led his team to the playoffs which ...

One way to judge how much the economy
is truly affecting the baseball world will be the
number of players that are non-tendered. MLBTradeRumors explains the process very well: December 12th marks baseball's non-tender deadline. That's when teams decide whether to offer a contract to the ...

As Sam Borden writes , today starts awards
week. Let's take a look at who I think
should be in the conversation for the awards. I will do the MVP's tomorrow but for now, here's the others: American League Cy Young Zack Grienke - I could go with King Felix or Grienke here and be OK with it ...

And you thought I was kidding by saying
there was good news for the Giants ? Here's
what happened this weekend: The Chicago Bears could have tied the Giants at 5-4 if they won. They lost and are now 4-5 and looking like they may be out of the playoff picture The Atlanta Falcons could ...

They can't lose tomorrow. That's about all I
got at this point. They are hoping for losses
from Dallas, Atlanta and Philly (among others). It will be a slow football weekend for me since I am also now out of two suicide leagues thanks to Green Bay. So I will sit back, relax, and hope the rest of ...

the subject matter of this blog you haven't, the

I glanced at a newsstand while walking to
work this morning and saw the cover on the
right (it must be a very slow news day). Alas, when I finally checked out the newspaper, I found out that Derek Jeter had not blown all his millions and was not living out on the street. Rather, he was ...
