‘Twas the night before his hearing, when appeared a creepy mouse So hide ya kids and hide ya wifes, Lawrence Taylor is out of the court house. The Patriots handled the Jets with a motherly care, In hopes that Tom Brady will soon cut his hair. The Texans all wept when they found out Matt Schaub was dead, But then he arose when Dan Orlovsky couldn’t find a helmet for his head. Jayson Werth’s contract [...]

The sports equivalent of the kiss of death was delivered to Cubs General Manager Jim Hendry this week. New owner Tom Ricketts wanted him to know where he stood in time for the mid-summer classic, of course. The Cubs have one All-Star, Hendry’s centerpiece of last offseason, Marlon Byrd. Outside he and Carlos Silva (whom everyone who’d seen el hipopótamo pitch the past two seasons assumed to be dead weight), no one else on the $145 million roster deserved consideration.

The 2010 MLB Hall of Fame class will be announced on Wednesday.  Among the players appearing on the ballot for the first time is Barry Larkin – a guy whose HOF candidacy is often greatly debated.  While this obviously is his first, not last, crack at the ballot, it will be interesting to see what the result is. Jayson Stark wrote a fantastic article on ESPN.com last week about Larkin.  In Stark’s opinion, he’s a [...]

Last week I started to get into a Facebook wrestling match of words with a die-hard baseball enthusiast. I opened the can of worms, I just let everyone else start doing the fishing.

I know this argument has been made time and time again, but it’s very hard to respect a win of this magnitude with the state of baseball currently. With that being said, obviously it’s not the Yankees fault that they are allowed to pay whatever they want for whoever they want. It’s not their fault that there is no [...]

I am a die-hard Yankee fan through and through.  With that being said, I am not the type of fan who cannot recognize when their team needs to work out a few “kinks,” aka Patriots fans, or a person who will ask for the manager to be burned on the stake for making a few mistakes, aka all Chicago fans.  As a former coach and player myself, I cannot fathom why Yankee pitchers are continuing [...]

It’s not been often during the Wild Card Era in Baseball that we’ve seen the two best teams in baseball compete for the World Series.  Frequently, it’s the hottest team at the end of the year that’s able to push its way to a pennant.  This year, however, we have a classic match up between arguably the two best teams. Offensively, it’s hard to pick a clear winner.  Both teams have stellar, star-studded lineups.  ARod [...]
