As a baseball fan, it’s a must watch situation this weekend, as the last series ever to be played at Yankee Stadium begins Friday night in New York. The Yankees will host the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game set that will end on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball.
It’s been a long year for the Yankees, […]

It’s all about those glasses. These aren’t rose-colored glasses or Drew Carey glasses. They are just plain old Joe Maddon glasses. But these glasses have a story. They (and Maddon, I guess) have led Tampa Bay to the top spot in the American League East - ahead of the Boston Red […]

The Detroit Tigers took a chance on Freddy Garcia by signing him to a Minor League Baseball contract a couple of months ago.

Yes, I disagree with the timing of the coaching change in Milwaukee. It seems the Brewers didn’t respond to Dale Sveum the way Doug Melvin thought they would, and there are just 11 games left for the free falling Brew Crew to get things in order to clinch a playoff appearance.
Just before the Brewers […]

“There’s only one October.” This is a true statement and a tag line that Major League Baseball is sticking with for their postseason marketing campaign. I’m all for it, as long as they don’t have those awful Dane Cook commercials popping up to bug me while I watch reruns of The Office on […]

Yost is taking the fall for the Brewers, who have dropped seven of their last 10, including four straight.

Chalk up another loss for the Chicago Cubs. Tuesday night, the Cubs blew another lead, which allowed the rest of the National League Central to inch closer. Manager Lou Piniella is understandably becoming more and more frustrated with each loss, especially in September. For a team that has a history of blowing […]

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels decided to mix it up a little Monday night. Torii Hunter was thrown out trying to score and was tagged out after running into catcher Ivan Rodriguez. After Hunter was called out, Rodriguez gave him a little elbow. It was on then.
Hunter went after […]
