Posted on 18 Apr 2013 by Daniel Trucios.

Posted on 8 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Whine-fest ‘12 Baseball’s celebratory red, white & blue banners still had creases in ‘em Friday night when one of its post-season entrants was quickly bounced from the festivities amid another firestorm of controversy surrounding game-officiating. This time it was MLB umpires, not referees, in the media cross-hairs getting lambasted after the Cardinals – Braves one & done, w...

Our Last Trip to the Ballpark (maybe!)
Posted on 24 Sep 2012 by Marien Hornyak.
This past Saturday, my husband and I went to our fifth and final Nationals game of the regular season. It was a warm afternoon, and Nationals Park was packed with over 40,000 fans hoping to watch Nationals’ pitcher Gio Gonzalez earn his 20th win of the season, this time against the Milwaukee Brewers. Yes, the “Brew Crew” was in town, the team leading the Majors with 150 stolen bases a...

Saints Joy Won’t Resonate
Posted on 9 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Congratulations go out to Saints’ linebacker Jonathan Vilma. Not for winning a vacation from his season-long Bountygate suspension he was handed by the NFL earlier this year, but rather, for his choice of celebratory shout-out. “Victory is mine!!!! -Stewie Griffin,” texted Mr. Vilma after he received the joyous news. Classy move, Jon. Had you quoted Bart Simpson instead I would’ve been ...

Playoff Push Belies MLB Grind
Posted on 29 Jul 2012 by Steven Keys.
The ‘dog days’ of summer have arrived. The genesis of that phrase? I haven’t a clue. To tell ya’ the truth, sometimes I just don’t want to know the answer. Call it Information Age burn-out. Suffice to say, ‘dog days’ feels apropos come late July. It’s that time in baseball when the pep & vigor of spring has vanished like a cool summer breeze. Players, managers and umpires st...

MVP Voting in Vogue
Posted on 7 May 2012 by Steven Keys.
It’s a bit early in the baseball campaign to be writing about MVPs, though, that didn’t stop some this spring from doing just that. Not too many endeavors as frivolous as pre-season prognostications on likely, after-season award winners. But it’s a free country, fast becoming jobless, but free. This piece isn’t about predictions nor intended to depreciate award winners of the past. It...

Scoring Ryan Braun’s Rumble
Posted on 28 Feb 2012 by Steven Keys.
Ryan Braun may’ve won the latest round in his fight with Baseball and anti-dopers over a suspicious urine sample but the final bell hasn’t yet rung on this slugfest. Here’s a round-by-round scorecard of the burgeoning brawl that began last fall. Round One: Major League Baseball (1-0). Braun’s 2011 October urine sample threw-up a big red flag. His testosterone reading was off the charts,...

Diamondbacks on the Brink of Elimination, Don’t Count Them Out
Posted on 3 Oct 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
The script is set in Arizona. Arizona is now down 2-0 in the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers. Just about every MLB analyst is drinking the Brew Crew Kool-Aid. The question is can the Brewers close out the series or can the Diamondbacks pull off the unthinkable? Sunday the Diamondbacks looked to even the series. The Brewers had different plans. The Brewers score 2 runs in the 1st in...

Brewers Shut Down Diamondbacks in Game 1
Posted on 2 Oct 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
The Diamondbacks were silenced in Game 1 in Milwaukee. The Brewers went on to win 4-1 behind an amazing game behind Yovani Gallardo. Gallardo pitched 8 strong innings striking out nine batters and only allowing 4 hits. Ryan Roberts was able to hit a home run in the 8th inning but it was not enough. Behind the Milwaukee offense Gallardo had enough breathing room to pitch the way he needed ...

Posted on 29 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
After a final day of the regular season that should come with a free cardiac check-up, the playoff participants have been determined. A lot of surprises occurred with two separate nine-game collapses for both AL and NL wildcard entries capping a fantastic 2011 season. Phillies will prepare for the postseason having clinched their spot and secured Philadelphia’s home-field advantage nearly two...

Look Over Yonder!
Posted on 9 Aug 2011 by Derrick Blyberg.
After watching the Cincinnati Reds play in person at Wrigley over the weekend, I finally became convinced that the door to the 2011 playoffs for the Reds has been slammed, sealed shut and possibly boarded up until Spring Training of 2012. Part of this realization came from Yonder Alonso’s one-man circus in left field and the continuing inconsistency of hitters to come through with runners i...
