Giants Raise the Championship Flag and Win Home Opener 1-0
Posted on 5 Apr 2013 by Daniel Trucios.
Back to back bases loaded innings for the Giants with only one run to show for it. And somehow that's enough for the defending champs. The San Francisco Giants raised the 2012 World Series Champions flag and then proceeded with their home opener against the St. Louis Cardinals, the team the Giants beat in 7 games to win the NL Pennant. The Giants would go onto to win this game as well 1-0 thank...

Defense Wins Championships
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Steve Folsom.
There's an old saying in sports: defense wins championships. In baseball, defense is part of the game, but in this reference it's pitching (along with a good defense) that wins championships. Either way, that doesn't bode well for the 2012 version of the Colorado Rockies (or any version of the Colorado Rockies since their inception in 1993). The Rockies defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6...

A Game Seven Is Fitting For This World Series
Posted on 28 Oct 2011 by George Kouvalis.
Well nothing like having the World Series in your hands twice and then losing it. That's what happened in one of the most memorable games in World Series history last night in St. Louis. The Texas Rangers had two 2 run leads in the late innings and could not hold on, eventually losing the Cardinals 10-9 in 11 innings, and more importantly tying the World Series at three games a piece. Even ...

Posted on 22 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Commissioner Bud Selig sat down to speak with Bob Costas in an interview that aired Friday night on MLB Network (complete interview available @ http://mlbnetwork.mlb.com/network/index.jsp), discussing the state of Major League Baseball — including a few changes that could be coming soon. Since Costas and Selig have not always shared an eye to eye purview, it is interesting to see their re...

FALL CLUNKER: Postseason Change Imperative
Posted on 19 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Tonight begins the 2011 World Series. The Fall Classic. The Crown Jewel of the Baseball Season. This year’s entry (107th) pits the defending American League Champion Texas Rangers against the underdog wildcard St. Louis Cardinals (National League’s version of Survivor). With apologies to fans of both franchises, this is not a Dream Matchup. Fans of baseball should want to see the best teams...

Can We Get Some Ballpark Love?
Posted on 3 Sep 2011 by Josh Muller.
I’ve been doing this blog for most of the 2011 season and it has been a blast. But there is one major issue that I have yet to fully cover and that’s the Oakland A’s ballpark situation. There are two reasons I haven’t said much about this topic: 1) I have a biased opinion on it with very mixed feelings about any proposed new site and 2) there has been very little news to report since ML...

Pirates: The Official Pittsburgh Pirates Preview
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Pittsburgh, the City of Champions, as we Pittsburgh sports fans like to call it. The Steelers and their six 6 Super Bowl trophies. The Penguins and their three Stanley Cup wins. Pitt basketball, the reigning Big East regular-season champions. Then, you have the Pirates. With 18 consecutive losing seasons, the Pirates are out of place with these other teams, and often out of mind amids...

Remembering The Glory Years and WAMCO
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by George Fadel.
Remember WAMCO? For many of you the term means nothing. For hardcore Toronto Blue Jays fans and baseball historians it is a reminder of greatness in Toronto. WAMCO stood for the combination of White, Alomar, Molitor, Carter, and Olerud. These players were also the 1 through 5 hitters in the Toronto batting order. During an interesting discussion today about the greatest Toronto Blue Jays team o...

Giants Update
Posted on 2 Nov 2010 by Joseph Davis.
To those expecting a swift column in response to the Giants World Series win…sorry. The combination of alcohol Monday night and a heavy work schedule today, not to mention tomorrow's parade, will preempt the celebratory entry. Rest assured, I have 4—count ‘em, FOUR articles coming your way by the weekend, including one documenting what I'm sure will be a fantastic parade in Sa...

World Series Wrap Up: A Giant Win
Posted on 2 Nov 2010 by George Kouvalis.
Much to the chagrin of many purest baseball fans and my self this years edition of the Fall Classic did lack some drama and suspense. Not to take anything away from the San Francisco Giants, they did what they had to do, they won, plain and simple. I have already heard people complaining about this series being the worst one ever and ratings disaster. Too bad. I guess because it wasn't ...
