The human heart is essential for life. It pumps blood through our system and without it, a person can’t live. The same applies to the heart of a baseball order and a team’s success. A team could have a flailing heart that could lead to a dead offense, much...

And once more with the Blue Jays. We’ve already seen 2012, Toronto – we don’t need you coming back here to remind us of how bad a “superteam” can get. And for just the seventh time in team history, the Red Sox have a chance to clinch the...

That Royals series was very frustrating. But for every sequence of games like that, there’s three others against teams like Toronto. Teams with no pitching that if you don’t tee off against, you should feel pretty distraught. And back to the Great White...

Let’s just stop and talk about the AL East for a second. The American League East, in all its greatness, has all FIVE teams with a record over .500, and all of them are within 7 games of first place with roughly 80 games to go. How can you not be excited for any...

After sweeping Jose Altuve (because, let’s face it, he was the only Astros player worth a damn), the Boston Red Sox (18-7, 3 game lead in the AL East) fly north of the border to take on the Toronto Blue Jays (9-17, 9.5 games behind in the AL East) in a...

After earning a series win in the Bronx, the Boston Red Sox (2-1, tied for first in the AL East) go to the Great White North to take on the new-look Toronto Blue Jays (1-2, tied for third in the AL East). In Toronto, you definitely can’t tell your players...

Is it ok to admit to loving the early 90’s Blue Jays? In particular, I loved to play with their team on Ken Griffey, Jr Major League Baseball on the Super Nintendo. Rickey Henderson, Roberto Alomar, John Olerud, Joe Carter, Duane Ward, Pat Hentgen, etc. (or at least...
