When I started writing this article, it was before the 10th inning running joke which happened against the Angels tonight. I originally started writing about how shitty management had become and how big of a disappointment the past year has been and everything any other writer has touched upon with this trainwreck. Then, I started seeing [...]
Given the Choice, Who Would You Choose?
If there’s anyone who likes talking hypothetical situations which will never in a million years happen, it’s me. I’ll ferociously debate things that cannot be proven as if I know them as fact. This is not one of those times where I will be foaming at the mouth but rather a chance to open up [...]
Which Team is Set Up WORST for the Future?
With the new and exciting second Wild Card in play, more teams league wide are mathmatically still alive for a playoff spot in 2012 than ever before. With that being said, there are still some teams living at the bottom of the barrel looking forward to next season. While each season is a fresh start, [...]
To Start Or Not to Start…That Is The Question
So long story short I hosed Coley (again) on a trade in our fantasy league a few weeks ago in which I acquired Aroldis Chapman and Josh Hamilton. It’s like I’m pulling the strings with this kid. I say jump, he asks “how high?” Just teaching him lessons that should require payment. Since acquisition Chapman [...]
Angels Beat Rangers…Off the Field Edition
The rich continue to get richer today as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim acquired Zach Greinke for three prospects earlier today. The Angels have undoubtedly made the biggest waves since they inked Albert Pujols and C.J. WIlson in the same day during the offseason. They continued to make waves after a slow start was propelled [...]
Another Midseason Ramirez Acquisition for the Dodgers
Mannywood Part II? No, not quite. But at about 2:30 A.M. east coast time, this tweet came across my radar: Apparentlly Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports did not feel that “Randy” was deserving of his allocation of 140 characters, but that is the other player (Randy Choate) heading to Los Angeles. But Hanley Ramirez was the prize here. [...]
Yankees and Tigers Making Monday Moves
No, neither traded for Carl Crawford (insert laugh track here). While the non-waiver trade deadline looms next Tuesday, two American League contenders have already begun adding pieces today. After the news broke that Yankees’ outfielder Brett Gardner would be shut down for the rest of the season, you had to foresee the Yankees making a [...]
Moneyball 2012
15 major league teams boast rosters with payrolls exceeding $88 million. That’s right, half of the league dishes out at least $88,197,003 to fill out a 25-man professional rosterin 2012. The team with the $88,197,003 payroll is the Chicago Cubs. How’s that working out for ya, Theo? Anyways, out of the entire MLB, there are [...]
Made Up MLB Trade Rumors By Yours Truly
Nobody, and I mean nobody, knows how to make up trade rumors like I do. There just isn’t a person in the world who wheels and deals more trades that will never happen than Coley Michalik. You think you’re on my level, come try me. Last I checked I had Rajon Rondo going out for [...]
