Dodgers Yankees.

Tommy Edman hits a two-run homer to seal his MVP award. Like it or not, it’s the Yankees and the Dodgers in the World Series. It’s good to see the high payroll teams have a chance for once. This World Series will feature the two probably league MVPs in the […]


More Cleveland heartbreak.

Baseball can be so frustrating. The life of a fan is excruciating at times. Cleveland fans might have it worse than anyone else. They’ve gone the longest of any fanbase without a World Series win. It’s been 76 years since Cleveland won it all back in 1948. There were only […]

Padres fizzle.

All of a sudden, Padres swagger was replaced by Padres stagger. After scoring six runs in the second inning of Game 3 to take a 6-1 lead, the Padres. The Padres mugged to camera, preened around the field, and generally acted like impetuous jerks. Then the baseball gods stepped in.  […]
