  Well, in rereading the first post on my WBC roster selections, I realized I may have been a little overly derisive, but I really just wanted to foster some debate and decided the best way to do so would be to go with low blows. All in all though, I wanted to point out [...]


They could potentially roll out this lineup: 1. 2B Jose Reyes 2. SS Hanley Ramirez 3. 3B Alex Rodriguez 4. 1B Albert Pujols 5. LF Manny Ramirez 6. RF Vladimir Guerrero 7. DH David Ortiz (and/or Aramis Ramirez if you prefer) 8. CF Alfonso Soriano 9. C Miguel Olivo You could also play Cano at [...]


(Pat Post)   Well, I don’t have a ton of issues with your roster, so on a few of these, I’m really just going to play devil’s advocate (or a disagreeable douche if you prefer). That said, I do have a few major problems here and there.   First of all, I don’t really understand why you [...]


All in all, the Mets acquisition of K-Rod could have been worse. For the millions of you who read this blog, it’s well-documented that he was my last choice of the three FA closers, but the contract could have been worse, and it’s obviously still an upgrade.

At the risk of losing some credibility, I’ve decided to publish my pre-season NFL bets and see how they’re looking with 3/4 of the NFL season in the books.  To start with, I was extremely down on the Giants going into the season. I thought their Super Bowl win was a fluke, and I was [...]


Yesterday’s arbitration decisions should have a serious effect on several Free Agents’ desirability. Several players who might have scared teams with their Type A or B status will now only cost money and not draft picks – chiefly Adam Dunn, Pat Burrell, Bobby Abreu, and Kerry Wood. I think Dunn and Wood should now become [...]
