A Bag of Hammers

August 10, 2018

I am just going to say it, even if it costs me my media access… wait, I don’t have media access anymore, so here goes: Dave Roberts is dumber than a bag of hammers if he left Pedro Baez in to allow 5 runners to get on base and all score.  Even Ray Charles could see that Baez was a “deer in the headlights.” We all knew what was going to happen. …

Let The Trades Begin

July 10, 2018

Three weeks for the trade deadline and rumors without knowledge continue to excite or anger baseball fans across the country. It is fun to read other fans takes on their teams and how their prospects line up with others.

You Are What Your Record Says You Are

May 1, 2018
