It looks like the Cubs are going young in the bullpen, which I think is smart on Jim Hendry’s part.

Ugh! I’m sure voices echoed through Texas today when found out Hamilton was drilled on the hand by a fastball in a spring training game. Seriously- this superstar is so unlucky lately in terms of injuries. Let’s tone down the thoughts of “he did drugs and is still alive, that’s lucky enough” okay? We all [...]

The last time the Pirates had a winning record was…eh…let’s not nitpick- it’s been quite a long time. Over the years plenty of stars have came through Pittsburgh only to watch ownership trade them away for young talent that flat out has not developed the way the Pirates once thought. Pirate fans have to wonder [...]

In 2009, the Yankees and Red Sox reached the playoffs for the 9th and 6th time, respectively, since 2000. This year is shaping up to be very similar, leaving the Rays, Blue Jays, and Orioles on the outside looking in. While both teams will likely end up in the playoffs, it still begs the question: [...]
