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!

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 »
The Astros won a thrilling game on Sunday, and although I believe that any day the Braves get knocked out of the playoffs is a good day, I couldn’t help feeling very sorry for Joey Devine. The kid already has an unfortunate spot in the record books (the only pitcher to allow a grand slam… Read More »
