Redemption Song: Russell Branyan
Hello friends, It’s Friday! Feel free to enjoy this song today. For some reason, 16.9 million people have… ah pop culture. Anyway onto the meat and potatoes of it all. This week’s Redemption song, as promised, is about slugger extraordinaire Russell Branyan. For those of you who can tell the difference between your ass and…
Fantasy Preview: NL East
Hello Again, friends. I’ve been a little under the weather the last couple days and haven’t had a chance to post this, but it’s time for the NL East fantasy preview!! Where to start with the NL East? Of the five teams, one is the clear and obvious favorite, one could win the wild card,…
Redemption Song: Bartolo Colón
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times (actual figures are spotty due to poor record keeping), everyone loves a comeback. Coincidentally, it was also said by the writers and producers of “Lights Out,” an awesome series on FX about John “Lights” Leary, a retired boxer who has to return to the…
Fantasy Preview: AL West
Today’s post is my much anticipated American League West fantasy preview. This shouldn’t take too long, as there are only 4 teams in the AL West, and one of them is really really terrible (can you guess who? does your person have a beard?). The AL West seems to have a new “It” team every…
Fantasy Preview: AL Central
Despite not being quite as heralded as the American League East is, the AL Central is still a very competitive division. The division champion is usually not decided until the last week of the season and, in 2008 and 2009, two teams needed to play an extra game to decide who would go on to…
Fantasy Preview: AL East
The American League East is easily the best and most competitive division in the majors. Every team has improved for 2011 (yes, even the Yankees and their pitching staff), and I believe 4 of the teams will finish over .500. It is no longer a 3 team race as it once was. Even the Orioles…
The Other New York Team…
The inspiration for this post comes from one of my good buddies, whom we’ll call Marc to protect his anonymity. Also, that’s his real name. When He saw my Academy Awards post, he suggested I give the Mets the Best Supporting Actress Award. He felt this would be appropriate because, in his words, the Mets…
Better With Drunk?
If this blog were Unsolved Mysteries, you’d be hearing Robert Stack’s smokey, smooth voice saying… “Update!” (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go ahead and die.) Anywho, I don’t mean to turn this into a Miguel Cabrera blog, but I had to update you fans on the status of the Tigers’ premier slugger…
Miguel Cabrera: Third Round Pick??
The lovely, young gentleman to the left is none other than Detroit Tigers first baseman, Miguel Cabrera. No, he’s not wearing his on-field uniform in this picture. He’s wearing the uniform worn by residents of the St. Lucie County jail. As many of you know, young Miguel was arrested last week for driving while intoxicated….
The Joe Torre Reclamation Project
Does Joe Torre have the magic touch when it comes to resurrecting washed up pitchers? Let’s find out.
