By Jake McCormick Only following one train of
thought to the extreme in politics and life pulls
you further towards the edge of reality. In the baseball world, the spectrum is divided with sabermetricians and Bill James on one side and traditional stat geeks with Ken Rosenthal on the ...

This October, the Yankees have finally shown their
hand. Baseball need only enforce a toll to and
from the mound to level the payroll playing field, because Jorge Posada has made more trips to the hill than an insecure freshman worried that a senior is going to steal the cheerleader.

I have trouble believing that anyone could go
outside of these three players. On the outside edge
you might be able to make a case for Carl Crawford but his 2009 season is not really all that far off from his typical performances. Though in the first half it seemed like he might be headed ...

most noteworthy tidbits: While the Twins may raise their payroll to about $85-90MM, most of that increase will go towards retaining their own ...

Now that we’re deep into the baseball postseason
and we Mets fans are enduring a great match
up that we frankly all hate in the World Series, I think it’s time to mention two things that MLB needs to work on this off-season. First of all, the umpiring has never been great, but the fact that ...

I was obviously disappointed that the Twins jumped
out to a two-run lead early in Game 1
of the Division Series and ended up losing 7-2, but you had to kind of expect that after their marathon-extra-inning-high-emotion-division-winning-one-game-playoff-tiebreaker against Detroit the night ...

A.J. Burnett gets a fly out, ground out
and strikeout in the first, along with a walk
to Joe Mauer. It’s an example of Burnett strategically walking a tough hitter. I’m not really that cool with giving batters free passes, but Burnett seems to be making it work. Update : Blackburn ...

Here’s a good example of what’s wrong with
the TBS broadcast. Span hits a comeback to the
mound after Punto walked leading off the third. Burnett threw hard to second, and Jeter hurried the throw and looped it a bit. The play was very close at first, and the ump called Span safe. We ...
