Most 36 years don't go around calling themselves The System or demand to be traded every 2-3 years when they decide their teammates aren't good...
It seems like malpractice on the part of the Red Sox to challenge so little - they are at a little over 1 per game. Assuming they are succeeding...
I agree that elite pitching has been the heart of the Astros' success, but I don't think any of their guys were elite pitching *prospects*. The...
The team is already awful at developing offense so then you'll have a team full of likely-injured pitchers and no offense at all. But in terms of...
This is what you want. You want players to want the ball in big moments. People were saying it was going to be a chemistry issue that Walker said...
Yeah, sometimes its just a matter of a different voice or different approach, etc.
Except, you know, everyone thinks he's mentally soft. Your argument might make more sense if they ILed him before he said anything. Several...
Phillies update for the "changing managers doesn't make a difference" crowd: Phillies with old manager: 9-19 Phillies with new manager: 15-4

If the Astros traded Bagwell and Biggio when they had value and started rebuilding, they likely never have the phenomenal 2004 and 2005 seasons....
They shouldn't be a 100 loss team (their current pace) or worst-team-in-baseball. They have more talent than plenty of organizations. On offense,...
Yeah, it was messy. There were a lot of disagreements between Click and Dusty, and ultimately they went with Dusty's way and won the WS. So Click...
The GM wasn't fired. His contract expired and he was only offered a one-year extension and didn't want that.
You're still missing the fact that they are on a 5 man rotation. Calendar dates and game dates are not the same thing. Mike Burrows has pitched...
