The Yankees are the least exciting sports team in New York.
What got me to thinking about this? The most polarizing story this season occurred yesterday when Bill Madden of the Daily News reported the possibility the Yankees could be for sale. It created a “sky is falling” reaction from the fans... Read more.

Being a Cubs fan these days is kind of like being in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", when they are tied to the stake and all the evil spirits have been released from the Ark. As long as they can avoid gazing upon the horror going on around them, then they can survive. Lets face it, if you are a... Read more.

I played baseball growing up, all throughout high school, and eventually even college. Until my junior year, I was the speedy Center Field/Leadoff Hitter type. The first day of practice my junior year, my coach decided to turn me into a submarining closer, because we did not have a closer. I got... Read more.

So, when you get a plethora of injured outfielders, a pitcher who would rather golf than pitch sometimes and a rookie who is threatening to take over third base, what do you have? Well, the Boston Red Sox of course. 2012 has started out the same way for Boston that 2011 did, slow. The expectations... Read more.

While Milwaukee Catcher Jonathan Lucroy doesn’t have as many at bats as some of the elite catchers in the league, his ownership in fantasy leagues (less than 30.0 percent of Yahoo! and 15.0 percent of ESPN leagues) is a bit puzzling. . After all, he is hitting .323, which puts him ahead of all... Read more.
