I normally don’t get caught up in the relationship between fans and players, however, an incident Saturday has set me off. A fan, who we will just refer to as Dick, threw a beer bottle at Phillies first baseman, Ryan Howard. This is just another one of those acts that gives Philadelphia fans, knowledgeable and […]

There is no denying what an honor it is for a baseball player to be named into the Hall of Fame and there is probably no feeling like it. However, for some players who think they deserve to be in Cooperstown will never what that feeling is like and that is due to the outdated […]

Steven Wright’s knuckleball is the baseball equivalent of Harry Houdini. Wright’s knuckleball is mesmerizing, awe-inspiring and downright filthy. It’s latest victim…Chris Davis. There was nothing for Davis to do. As Passan states in his tweet, “It completely changed directions twice over the course of 60 feet”. That, my friends, is what you call unhitable.

Despite what some would call a slow start for Toronto, the Blue Jays recently showed that they can compete with the best the AL East can offer in a tough home series against Boston. Although the bull pen may have lost one in extra innings, it seems that the return of Aaron Loup and the […]

Chase Utley had one hell of a night against the New York Mets and, as is custom these days, the trolls are out in full force. Utley, who originally gained his infamous status in New York as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies, vilified himself during last years’ NLDS when his late slide broke the […]

Ever make a mistake? Do something stupid? Say something you shouldn’t have? We’ve all been there and have received the same three word answer…”Use your head!” However, 23 years ago today, Jose Canseco proved that “using your head” can sometimes be the problem. Canseco became famous for what is now know as the “Dome Run”. […]

The New York Yankees return the Bronx after a seven game West Coast trip that started slow but saw them finish strong with a 5-game win streak and a sweep of the Oakland A’s. Monday’s day off is much needed after the team played 20 games straight. Additionally the Yankees are preparing to play their […]

Last week the diamond morphed into the octagon as Toronto and Texas engaged in a heated altercation. This week’s player profile looks at the man in the middle of this ordeal – Jose Bautista. He has been the face of the Blue Jays franchise since he was brought in near the end of the 2008 […]

The Philadelphia Phillies are making a unexpected run and all eyes are on the playoffs. Too early to think like this? Oh yeah. The Phillies are one bad stretch away from being the mediocre team everyone believed they would be. Even the miserable Atlanta Braves were 42-42 at the midway point last season before eventually […]

Half way through May and the Blue Jays continue to hover around the .500 mark. An exciting finish to their series versus the Rangers yesterday saw the diamond turn into the octagon. Hopefully this will spark the Jays to get over the .500 hump as they head back home for a three game series against […]

(Photo courtesy of The Enquirer/Sam Greene) Cincinnati Reds catcher, Devin Mesoraco, has had an up and down major league career. He broke into the majors with the Reds in 2011. In 2012, he was the backup catcher to Ryan Hanigan. A solid hitter to that point, Mesoraco thrived in 2013 given more playing time due […]
