On Friday the Twins and Brewers completed a
trade that sent Carlos Gomez to the land of
cheese, and JJ Hardy to the place with the new stadium that nonsensically has no roof despite the local climates. On the surface, the move is the very ...

JJ Hardy, Carlos Gomez And The Nature of "Selling Low"
While the Yankees World Series victory led to me experiencing unparalleled amounts of joy and lack of self-restraint, it also meant the end of the baseball season for what always seems like an eternity.
I think part of the reason that it hurts so much for baseball to be gone is the fact ...

HOW much scratch will Bobby "Cookies" Abreu earn from his new two-year deal with the Angels ? Fella sure knows how to draw a walk or smack a double.

Via our pals at the 700 Level , here's a peek into the losing manager's presser. But with a real baseball gentleman like Charlie Manuel, you really can't tell that this is a dude who feels sad and sorry that his team just lost . No wonder Phillies fans idolize a man who has the confidence to ...

Good game tonight, folks. As I enjoy the car ride home from the Bronx, my thoughts turn to the WoWies and my best pal Kris. Watching my favorite team win the World Series was fun but nothing compares to sharing my joy with dozens and dozens of our readers. Kudos to my Phillies fans friends ...
