My MLB The Show 09 Project: All Time Teams (HELP!)

Yup, I’m back to not updating this regularly. Shocked, aren’t you?
What I have been doing in my rare spare time is playing a lot of The Show 09 on the PS3. The other night I downloaded someone’s roster set that had what they called “All Time Teams” for each team. I assumed this [...]

Strasburg NEEDS to sign today

Hopefully you’re as sick of this soap opera as I am. Ever since the spring of 2008, all I’ve heard or read about was the second coming of Cy Young, or you may know him as Stephen Strasburg. I’ve touched on him in a post back in March and every media outlet in the world [...]

Throwing beer on a player makes you a douchebag!

One Month In – Let’s Look At The Cubs

Phil Rogers had a great column up this morning where he took a look at some of Jim Hendry’s moves from the winter and gave them a grade and some follow up comments. I thought it was a perfect topic after watching the Cubs bumble their way to a 10-0 loss to the D’Backs yesterday.

A lot has happened…

Back from Florida and back into my normal routine finally. I have to say that even though I was at a conference for work, it was nice to get away from my desk and the Illinois weather for a few days. A lot has happened though since my last post so let’s try to get [...]

Baseball season is right around the corner and that means it is time for fantasy baseball drafts to be held all across the country (and the world for that matter). Last night we had the online draft for a fantasy league made up of some of us geeky blog authors. Dave over at Fielder’s Choice [...]
