Mariano Rivera – Exit Sandman
Last night was the end of an era as the greatest closer in MLB history pitched his last game in Yankee Stadium. Hopefully he doesn’t pitch again this weekend because what happened in NY was the perfect sendoff. It couldn’t have happened any better. Say what you will about the New York Yankees but they…

Todd Helton is a bum
I am disgusted by the fanfare that MLB and the Rockies are giving Todd Helton on his farewell tour. Longevity doesn’t mean you are great. Overstaying your welcome doesn’t make you great.

Josh Donaldson
Josh Donaldson makes one of the best catches of the year in MLB by diving over the tarp, crashing into the wall and holding on to the ball. Donaldson has been a major part of the Athletics successful season. His WAR of 6.1 is just unreal. If it weren’t for the seasons that Miguel…

Yu Darvish curveball
The Texas Rangers had to pay $51.7 million dollars just to win the right to NEGOTIATE with Yu Darvish. It then cost another $60M to sign him to a 6 year contract. $111.7M for 6 years of Yu Darvish. An incredible gamble to take at the time for the Rangers since Darvish had just played…

LA Dodgers Bobblehead
“Ball one and wait a minute, there’s an animal loose, two of them..” “It looks like he’s going to burn a flag!” “”And Rick Monday runs in and takes it away from him! That guy was going to set fire to the American Flag! Can you imagine that? Rick will get an ovation, and properly…
