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...

Baseball’s offseason sucks. Well, alright, every sports offseason sucks. But baseball’s feels worse, somehow. Maybe it’s just how slowly it moves. There’s no real free agent blitz like there is in football; it can be months before free agents...

And no, I don’t mean the end of the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey “feud” on American Idol. Though that can & should end now. Preferably at this very moment. After weeks of facepalms, exasperated sighs and sporatic shouts of “C’MON!”...

Part of me wonders why last night’s blockbuster trade between the Blue Jays and Marlins caught so many people by surprise. In hindsight, all the ingredients were there – at least from Toronto’s perspective – to do something huge. Over the past few years, the Blue Jays...

The Boston Red Sox have a lot of issues to face this offseason, but none may be more significant that the question of what to do with Jacoby Ellsbury. The 29-year-old Center Fielder will be coming into his last year of team control in 2013, and with agent Scott Boras...

As I was reading Jim Bowden’s “Pricing the Free Agents” piece on ESPN last Friday afternoon, I could hear the rising and crashing waves of criticism coming from the Sabermetric/blogging community from over yonder…and by yonder, I mean Twitter. ...
