  • Derek Jeter Announces Retirement Following 2014 Season

    Derek Jeter announced today that he will retire at the end of the 2014 MLB season.  This is truly the end of an era.  The last true dynasty in MLB was the 1996 – 2000 Yankees team with Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Bernie Williams and Jorge Posada as the young core putting the Yankees back…

  • Masahiro Tanaka Is Coming To MLB!

    Masahiro Tanaka will be pitching in the MLB next season.  It has been the biggest roller coaster ride of the off season as every day reports would come from Japan saying that he was going to be posted and that he was not going to be posted.  MLB negotiated a new deal with the Japan…

  • ESPN: Penis Penis Penis Penis

    Words cannot do justice for the hatred that I have in my heart for ESPN.  When I was younger, ESPN was the greatest channel in the history of the world in my eyes.  It was a great concept.  It was all I ever watched.  I could have had a one channel cable package and been…

  • MLB Trading And Signing Frenzy

    There is a lot of debate among baseball fans whether or not to make a big deal about Ichiro reaching 4000 hits last night.  The debate centers around the fact that over 1000 of those hits came in Japan before Ichiro entered MLB.  I think people need to relax and just appreciate the accomplishment.  The…

  • Baseball Vacation

    You would think that I get enough of baseball being at Wrigley Field all the time and working about 79 games a year.  You would be wrong.  I have a goal in life to get to all 50 states and to every MLB ballpark that I can in my travels.  I’m a lot closer to…
