I've heard of a sucker punch game, but this was a junk punch game for the Cardinals. The Cardinals held a 2-1 lead with two outs in the ninth inning, and James Loney lofted a soft line drive to Matt Holliday in left field. As Holliday came in to make the game-ending catch, he...

Enjoy the wins, bathe in the glory, but take it all with a grain of salt.We are quick to say that Juan Pierre's September struggles (.167/.348/.167/.515) were expected because he's simply not that good. Yet, I wonder why we are so quick to fabricate reasons for James Loney...

Lately, i've been noticing a lot of animosity being directed toward the more youthful players on the Dodgers. The Los Angeles media is critical of them, but I expected that. I didn't expect, however, to see bloggers, message boards, family, and friends, all beginning to express...
