This Date in Pirates History: December 28
On this date in 1957 the Pittsburgh Pirates traded first baseman Dee Fondy to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for first baseman Ted Kluszewski. Fondy was veteran the Pirates had acquired from the Cubs during the 1957 season. At age 32 he hit .313 in 95 games for Pittsburgh to finish out his only season with the team. He wasn’t the typical corner infielder, he had more speed and...

Moyer missed the entire 2011 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. Moyer injured his elbow playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. The injury was so bad that Moyer's Dominican team's GM, former Major Leaguer Moises Alou, thought his career was over. After...

Sizing Up Sizemore For Mets Center Field Job
The Mets have made a string of bad signings when it comes to aging, injured, unproductive or otherwise scarred players. Moises Alou, Julio Franco, Oliver Perez, Luis Castillo and Guillermo Mota. We could spend all day adding to the list.
It isn’t a great free-agent market, but there’s a name on the list worth rolling the dice with despite his recent injury history. The Cleveland...

Are the Cubs truly cursed or have they just never been good enough to win the World Series?
The Chicago Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908, the longest drought in baseball history, their lack of a championship has been attributed to many things; goats, black cats, a lonely fan listening to a radio broadcast are among the few non-baseball factors that are blamed for the Cubs’ drought. All of these excuses are based on the fact that the Cubs have really bad...

Best Team That Never Was
In the summer of 1994, the city of Montreal was abuzz. The Expos were playing the best baseball in the majors, attendance was the highest it had been since 1983, and they were on pace to reach the World Series for the first time in franchise history. Then on August 11th, it all came to a screeching halt. The MLBPA had gone on strike ending a very promising season.

Don’t Drop The Ball: Be There For Steve Bartman Night
Society loves to keep reminding you of pathetic failures. It’s why Daniel Tosh has so much success with Web Redemptions, why Bill Buckner gets to make fun of himself 25 years later on an episode of “Curb” and why the Kardashians are on every magazine cover. Hell, we’d still be celebrating Merkle’s Boner with Minor League Baseball promotions if “boner” hadn’t turned...

ESPN’s “Catching Hell” Provides Cubs Fans a Chance to Reflect
I watched ESPN’s latest 30 at 30 documentary, “Catching Hell”, with great interest on Thursday night. The doc covered the infamous Steve Bartman play in the 2003 NLCS as well as an in depth look at the equally infamous Buckner play from the ’86 World Series. The airing was perfect timing for the network as it came just one night after the greatest single night of regular...

ESPN Catching Hell Review & My Thoughts On The “Bartman Play”
ESPN Films debuted director Alex Gibney's documentary, "Catching Hell" this week. "Catching Hell" is about one of the most infamous scapegoats of all of sports, a young Cubs fan named Steve Bartman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Related posts:

A few thoughts on the Steve Bartman documentary
Was it a perverted sense of duty? A masochistic desire to relive a nightmare? I can't say for certain.
But on Tuesday night, I found myself watching "Catching Hell," ESPN's attempt to make up for the boring baseball movies they served during the otherwise-excellent "30 for 30" doc series.
And I have to admit it was weird watching a documentary of an event I actually attended. It...

I’m embarrassed. Hopefully we’re all embarrassed. Because we’re just as human as he is.
