Manager of the Year Awards are announced later today, November 9. There is no way in the world Bobby Cox isn’t winning the National League Manager of the Year award, and rightly so. As for the American League, it pretty much comes down to Ozzie Guillen and Eric Wedge. If the Indians hadn’t choked the… Read More »
Dang it, I meant to get my predictions and preferences down in writing before the official announcement. Oh well. Anyway, Bartolo Colon won the American League Cy Young Award. If I had gotten my picks in early enough, I would have predicted that, although I also would have strongly disagreed with it. My vote would… Read More »
The Rookie of the Year awards are announced today. If I was voting, my votes would go to Ryan Howard in the NL and Huston Street in the AL. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tadahito Iguchi win in the AL, and I wouldn’t have a major gripe if he did, but I still lean… Read More »
I heard a rumor that the Yankees are going to pursue Rafael Furcal, have him play second base, and move Robinson Cano to center field. Imagine that: Derek Jeter would be the third-best shortstop in his own infield!

So honestly, is there a white guy on the White Sox who isn’t creepy looking? Piersynzki, Rowand, Podsednik, Crede, Beurhle. They all look like they could play the abusive husband in a Lifetime movie.
So I watch WWE wrestling on TV for four hours every week. Well, four hours worth of programming, although I probably only spend about two hours on it, thanks to the wonders of DVR and the fact that people like Chris Masters are so fast-forwardable. But anyway, it’s the first paragraph, and I have already… Read More »
In this post from a couple weeks ago, I declared that Huston Street should be the AL Rookie of the Year. In the comments on that post, T.D. Hogg said this: Robinson Cano is the obvious choice for rookie of the year, he plays under the great big new york lights that some veterans cant… Read More »
