Sorry, You Know I Also Meant Red Sox, Right?
Much like a newspaper when they regret an error they’ve made in publication, I feel the need to correct myself. One month ago, I wrote this article on the Yankees being a shoo-in for the…

Ranking the Last 10 World Series
This is always fun. After all, it’s been a quiet few days with the All-Star break (although what a game it was, plus the Manny Machado trade). But with the 2018 Fall Classic still three…
Athletics, aka “Bizarro Nationals,” Steamroll Into Break
Let me lay this out right off the bat: this 2018 MLB season, in many ways, has been brutal to watch. For all the dreams of parity the 2015, 2016, and 2017 seasons inspired, 2018…
Surprising MLB Division Races Are on Tap
Let’s face it: the American League Central is a done deal. But outside of that, the other five divisions in Major League Baseball all have intrigue and, subsequently, figure to come down to at least…

As Predictable MLB Season Drags On, Our Greatest Yanks/Sox Fears May Turn Into Our Greatest Asset
This has felt inevitable since December 9, 2017. That was the day that the baseball world was rocked by the Yankees essentially fleecing old friend Derek Jeter (or was he just doing them a solid?)…
Ranking the MLB TV Broadcasters 1-31 (Including ESPN)
I did this two years ago, and it’s time to revisit. Baseball has some wonderful announcers, and some downright awful ones. Homer-ism will not be tolerated, nor will the inability to adequately bring the user…
American League’s Most Underrated Players by Team
More than any major professional sport except maybe hockey, baseball is full of truly unsung heroes. MLB does not market itself with nearly the intensity of the NFL or even the NBA, so it’s easy…
Baseball Blog: Three-Team Race in the AL (But Good on Ya, Mariners — The Drought Might End in 2018!)
I think it’s pretty safe to assume that the World Series will take place in either Boston, New York (x2, perhaps?), or Houston. The American League looks like a runaway for those three teams, with…
