Y’know, if you think about it, team names would be very strange if they were rooted in reality. “Oh man, those creepily-alive socks just fought off a bunch of sailors and now they have to face a bunch of deadly, poisonous snakes!” That’s not...

I’ll be honest. When we sent out the data call for standings predictions, I picked the Yankees to win the AL East. Honestly, it was really hard not to. They already had an incredibly solid club as they entered the offseason, and then they went and added...

Ok, the season has started. So here is my quick write-up on the AL West, along with very quick predictions for the remaining divisions. LA Angels of Anaheim: 86-76: The one thing that I am not sold on is that a team like the Angels are solely summed up in their run...

With each growing day here in the early stages of Off-Season 2007-08, the idea of Mike Lowell taking the extra year + cash to play for a different team looks more and more truthful. The Red Sox have maintained through this process that they will not go further than...

Eric Chavez ended the Boston Red Sox (37-19) night much like Alex Rodriguez did yesterday only Chavez (8) got to walk-off with this one in the bottom of the 11th inning. Kyle Snyder gave up the bottom of the 11th homerun with two outs in the inning to Chavez picking...
