Well, that was quick. After saying he didn’t deserve the closer role following Saturday’s loss, the Brewers showed they agreed by yanking Eric Gagme as closer. Gagme said he didn’t need a mental break like Jason Isringhausen from …
I didn’t really feel it was necessary to post any pictures of Matt Leinart beer bonging hot chicks in a hot tub when they first came out. For one reason, I didn’t have any context for the photos; they could have been from five years ago …
When your team is the worst in baseball — yes, the Padres are the worst team right now — what do you do to cope with the disappointment? You start a blog, of course. The man many of you affectionately know as the former Dodgers GM and …
At first I agreed with with most of the comments I was hearing from pundits — going to Chicago would be the best move for Mike D’Antoni. But now that I’ve thought about things since he’s agreed to become the next coach of the …
I don’t know about you, but I certainly am getting sick of seeing those split-face commercials promoting the NBA playoffs. Something about there can only be one winner. Right? Well we all know that Baron Davis didn’t make his way into the …

Hopefully you’re checking in on the site to get this in time … at 12:30pm PT/2:30pm CT, I will be a guest with Jon Miller on KXNO in Des Moines. Go here to listen to the interview on the show as we talk all things MLB.
I already told you about one suggestion of mine to improve the quality of game broadcasts earlier this week. In case you missed it, my hope is that broadcasts allow the opportunity for the viewer to mute the microphone of a particular broadcaster, …
