Forgive me, I've been a bit ill this week. I thought that you said Carpenter banged up his foot saving a man from an anaconda attack in the Amazon.Wait, what?Of course he did.I honestly can't believe that this site didn't post anything about this story until now. For this, I am truly sorry. It's one thing to not get you the adjusted VORP percentages for the AAA Redbirds, but when it comes to gigantic man eating snakes attacking superstar pitchers, well, we've just got to get better. This will not be taken lightly around the CD HQ.We're going to need you to come in on Saturday, ok?Back to the Snakes on a Ace, though. I looks like Carp, Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay and former Blue Jay BJ Ryan decided the best place to catch some relaxing off-season fishing was, of course, the Amazon. As in the ******* Amazon, Amazon. So when a giant anaconda proceeded to attack a fellow rod n reeler, the boys of summer pounced into action and wrestled the slithering serpent ba...

Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, posted his regular mailbag feature this week and I found this Q&A pretty interesting:
I don’t want to be “that guy,” but am I the only fan ruing the day that the Mets did not pull the trigger on trading for Roy Halladay? There’s no doubt that Halladay is one of the top pitchers in the league. There’s just as little doubt...

Without question, the most underplayed story from this week in sports is the one where Roy Halladay rescues a guy in the Amazon who had just been attacked by an anaconda. No, seriously.
Halladay was on a fishing expedition with former teammates Chris Carpenter and B.J. Ryan and pro angler Skeet Reese (do you think Skeet gets jealous that they don’t invite him to go pitching...

Several years ago at Veterans Stadium, a fan shouted “Everybody hits! Wahoo!” That saying stuck. Perhaps because the phrase was shouted every time the Phillies scored a run, but it stuck regardless. Over time, new mottoes were created including those developed by players.Before the “Everybody hits!” era, Tug McGraw’s “Ya gotta believe”...

We only remember the most exciting plays. Diving catches, game-winning hits, high-pressure situations — these are the things that fill our memories and our imaginations. But baseball isn’t always exciting — often it’s far from it. I love baseball, but many of its events are boring. Headlines in the following morning never read, “Roy Halladay throws a...

There are two schools of thought when it comes to fantasy baseball starting pitchers. The first states that you should grab some quality starters early in your draft (or use keeper spots for holding onto them). The second theory states that starting pitchers are way too inconsistent and therefore you should ignore pitchers until late in your draft. The best strategy probably lies...
