A couple of games ago I watched Brett
Cecil’s start against the Texas Rangers where he and

Yesterday I wrote a post on the Blue
Jays’ wives. While doing my research, I stumbled across

So there’s not too much to write about
lately. Well maybe there is but I don’t feel
like it. And can you blame me? The most riveting Jays news is the impending shut down of some young starting pitchers. Around the game playoff races are heating up but aren’t hot just yet. I feel miserable that ...

“I remember catching batting-practice home runs, she said.
“That was when baseball was still baseball.” “I don’t
mean to interrupt,” Buck O’Neil said, “but baseball is still baseball.” The above quote pretty much sums up legendary Negro Leagues player, manager, Major League coach & scout, and a

In 2007 Alex Rios was having what is
known to be a "break out" season. Before the
All-Star break, Rios had launched 17 home runs into the seats of ballparks around the league. During the Derby, Rios pounded out 19 bombs, losing to Vladimir Guerrero in the final round by one home run. Since then Ri

Last August I took a trip to the
National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. We
at Mop Up Duty (okay, maybe just me) have a great affinity for Latino baseball (especially the way it influenced the Toronto Blue Jays teams of the 80’s). Above, you can see I drunkenly took a picture of the ...

Okay, so I don’t even want to talk
