“Logic tells me Cincinnati has the deepest team in the playoffs. My eyes tell me that logic gave up on baseball last September” – Coley Michalik. That’s right, I’m starting off the article with a SELF-QUOTE. In today’s world of social media driven society, we often see narcissistic douchebags taking pictures of themselves, also known as “selfies.” Well, [...]
TSHQ MLB Postseason Preview
I basically said one thing accurate this entire MLB season, and that’s good enough for me. In our preseason write-up, I said that the MLB was the toughest sport to call out of any of the four major leagues. NBA there’s about four teams MAX you know will compete for a title this season. NFL [...]
Crazy Catch by Blue Jays Pitcher Chad Jenkins
Chad Jenkins of the Toronto Blue Jays makes a catch….of his glove…to record the out on the Yankees’ Curtis Granderson. Your browser does not support iframes.
Small Market Success in 2012
Major markets are the life force of any sport. Their ticket sales, jersey sales, and tv revenue alone are what make the sport flourish. If it weren’t for the Yankees, who are beloved in the Bronx and despised throughout the rest of the nation, the MLB would probably crumble. You can say that about most [...]
Ten October Dreams From a Fan of a (Maybe) 70-Win Baseball Team
Normally around this time of year (and by normally I mean not in a few seasons) I’m preparing for the Boston Red Sox to take on their first round opponent in baseball, hoping it’s the Angels because we tend to send them home more often than not when we meet in the playoffs. Unfortunately that’s [...]
Mike Trout, Great Young Talent…MVP? HELL NO
If you listen really close you can be reminded for the thousandth time that Mike Trout just turned 21 and gosh darn it, he’s only a rookie. Listen Mike Trout has had a great year. I’ll even go so far as to give him a semi-historical one. Because of that season at such a young [...]
Down the Stretch
With a little less than a month to go, the MLB playoff picture is doing ANYTHING but rounding itself out. With the second Wild Card in place, it’s as if no teams will be able to rest toward the end of September since no playoff spots will be clinched until at least Autumn. Only [...]
Adam Eaton robs Angel Pagan
While things haven’t been great for the Diamondbacks as of late, there has been a glimmer of hope with Pacific Coast League MVP Adam Eaton being called up on Tuesday and immediately producing. In just his second game in the bigs he has made an impact at the plate, he already has 4 hits in [...]
Fixing The Red Sox
You may be asking yourself, “When did TSHQ become a Boston Red Sox-centric site?” I’ll tell you. For starters, outside of the Washington Nationals gross mishandling of Stephan Strasburg this season, no topic quite deserves delving into such as the debacle known as the 2012 Red Sox. Stemming since last September, the team dubbed by the [...]
The Los Angeles Dodgers Straight Up Bail Out the Red Sox
So yesterday I came on here to tell y’all fools why I wasn’t sweating the horrid season which belonged to the 2012 Red Sox. You know why? Cause that’s how winners act. “Top down in the winter that’s what winners do,” said Jay-Z. That’s exactly what it’s like to be a Boston sports fan. Demeanor [...]
