In Which I Share My Favorite Mazzilli Stories as a Consolation Prize
Well it looks pretty clear, or really clear, at this point that Lee Mazzilli will not be candidate for the Mets Manager job. It just doesn't seem like its going to happen. Sandy has his plan, I have my own plan, Sandy is a GM with a fantastic resume, I'm a blogger who does this as a hobby and is really a scientist, so in the end, I'll trust Sandy. I guess I'm just bitter my boy didn...

Free-agent receivers have a tough time catching on
Anquan Boldin By Chris Gomez Guest Columnist Fielding a winning fantasy football team is never easy. Injuries, coaching changes, one-year wonders, rookies and free agency always bring up questions that force fantasy owners to sometimes pass on proven players and instead use their gut. I have a few reasons why you may want to let [...]

Remembering the 1996 Trade Deadline
We remember 1996. Keep in mind, as you hear all the names of yesteryear exchanged- this was the last year the National League won the All-Star Game before last night. That's right, the previous time the NL won, the following players were active: Andre Dawson, Rick Honeycutt, Tony Pena, Rob Deer, Alan Trammell, Otis Nixon and Frank Viola.
Meanwhile, these were the hot deals...

Has Ken Macha Saved His Job?
I have been tough on Milwaukee Brewers manager Ken Macha and how he should be fired. I have been watching the Milwaukee Brewers lately and I must give Ken Macha credit for a couple of things. He has not lost the team as they still play hard for him. An example is yesterday against the Chicago Cubs. Chris Gomez hustled on a bunt play to scored from first base on a throwing error against...

The big news from yesterday -- perhaps minor in the wide of scheme of things -- is that formerly prized prospect, Hayden Penn was traded to the Florida Marlins for infielder Robert Andino.What's the big deal with Andino? Not much. He's simply a nice, slick fielding fielder who's your typical 'all glove, no bat' type of guy. Obviously with Hanley Ramirez at shortstop...

Jack Wilson goes on the DL
The Pirates' middle infield situation is quickly becoming ugly. After six games, Chris Gomez and Luis Rivas have almost as many ABs as Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson. The Pirates may be 3-3, but that's not a recipe for great baseball. Accordingly, Wilson's going to go on the DL to nurse his hamstring...

Nationals Gets the Best of the O's; Quick Hits...
The Orioles lost 3-1 to the Nationals yesterday in Fort Lauderdale; however, Koji Uehara looked good -- real good. The Japanense hurler, coming back from a strained hamstring, did give up a run, but struck out seven out of the eleven hitters he faced. His counterpart on the mound for Washington, young Sharion Martis pitched six shutout innings and only gave up three hits, while fanning...

RIP Vince Lascheid
Sad news today, as long-time Pirates and Penguins organist Vince Lascheid has at the age of 85. Everyone that's been to a Pirate game has spent some sitting in the stands, trying to decipher just what Lascheid's had in mind with the jingles he used to choose for opposing players. I still remember being at Three Rivers in the late 1990s with Chris Gomez at the plate for the...
