Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:11:05 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies accomplished quite a bit in 2009, despite falling just short of the coveted World Series Championship repeat. In fact, just getting back to the Fall Classic showed quite a bit of determination, and, to make it more impressive, they did it with a team that was ...

Phils Dump Figgins; Court DeRosa for the Rebound

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:15:05 +0000

First of all, his name isn’t anywhere near as funny-sounding. Secondly, he hit .250 for the Cardinals in 2009, and struck out more than ever in his career (121). ”This team’s already got a strikeout artist,” said Ryan Howard and his 186 SO in 2009. ”And his name is me.”

Marquis and Figueroa: Who’s the Perfect Fit?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:05:33 +0000

I won’t deny it; I like a bargain. And to be clear, that doesn’t mean buying the cheapest possible item. It means getting the same value that an expensive item provides for a much lower price. In other words, it doesn’t mean getting Karim Garcia and Shane Spencer instead of ...

Olivo Over Molina

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:59:31 +0000

I must admit to being surprised by the reported willingness of the Mets to pay Bengie Molina $6 million for 2010, and possibly go two or even three years in length with his contract. In an offseason where New York has many holes to fill, this represents a sizable chunk of what they’ll be ...

Where Is The Joy?

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 18:31:50 +0000

Let me first say that it would be irresponsible to conclude that one of the worst weeks of gun violence in our nation’s history was a direct result of the Yankees winning championship number 27. There is no direct evidence of this, and to conclude such a thing before a full investigation ...

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:10:34 +0000

Today the New York Post has a brief item about Mets fans who were expecting a 10% cut in ticket prices, but are seeing reductions that are basically a rounding error. Bart Hubbach and Jeremy Olshan quote the ever-reliable Dave Howard, who defends the apparent discrepancy as follows : "It's very ...
