I loved baseball. Then the '94 lockout happened and lotsa new stats emerged which I still don't know what they mean. But I still marvel at how many of the top baseball players in history are total bastards—say, Ty Cobb, Pete Rose, and Roger Clemens. And I think that’s wonderful,

I'm not going to get verbose here. Wow you guys are sooooooo mean. Anywhoooo.... It's baseball's opening day. As I type this I'm watching the Yankees kick the shit out of my Orioles. Which isn't a surprise exactly, but I was hoping for a miracle. A minimum of 120 losses this year. Mark my

I like baseball. That's not exactly a secret, I suppose. But what you folks might not realize is that I like baseball just for the sake of baseball itself. What I mean by that is that I enjoy watching baseball even when I don't have a particular rooting interest. Weird, but

Ah, spring. Birds chirping, not wearing eight different layers to take out the garbage, and the Italian ice stand down the block finally opening. Oh, and I guess it's baseball season too. It's Opening Day, and bunting makes everything better in my eyes. I need to get some when I

Monday morning, Tampa, FL. A car pulls up into the parking lot at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Russell Wilson: Well, here I am, first day as a Yankee. (He looks up.) How about that, Dad? We said one day it would be awesome to wear the pinstripes, and sure enough. (He parks and gets

Your Even More Hastily Put Together 2017 MLB Recap and Postseason Preview

Senor Weaselo - October 3, 2017October 2, 2017

Yes, I know, I know, it's football season and therefore nothing else matters, and you don't see the Canadian Commentist Contingent doing a hockey post for tomorrow (to my knowledge…), but the least I can do is see this through, right? First question, how did I do? AL East Preseason picks: BOS, TOR,

He obviously don't know nuthin' 'bout baseball neither. Back in April, I made some predictions. And I'm man enough to own up to my stupidity. So here we go.... *Note: Probable Results , re: divisions, are pretty much cast at this point. **Wildcard races are still interesting tho. - National League Predicted: National League West 1. SF

Greetings from a smoke tinged L.A. County! Yeah, there's another big goddamn fire burning north of here. It's a strange colored sky, overcast but not with marine layer, more burnt orange. UPDATE: At 4:00 this afternoon this is what it looked like from my back balcony. The fire is in Santa Clarita and

Some MLB Talk (AKA, Just how stupid IS tWBS?)

theeWeeBabySeamus - June 18, 2016June 18, 2016

A couple of months ago, I provided a very poorly written MLB preview. Don't feel badly if you don't remember it. I barely remember it either. In an almost totally unrelated matter, does anyone have a Santa Hat I can borrow this December? Within the aforementioned preview, I proffered my very

I'm theeWeeBabySeamus, and I love baseball. HI SEAMUS!!!! Wait, it gets worse. I'm a (gulp)....Baltimore Orioles fan. So today, against my better judgement, not to mention my physician's advice, I begin my six month period of falling off the wagon and binging on baseball. The really sad part about this is that I
