Fox Sports Midwest allows McLaughlin to return after DUI
Dan McLaughlin, the lead play by play announcer for the St Louis Cardinals on FOX Sports Midwest, will be returning to the broadcast booth after a DUI in September threw his future into chaos.
The DUI was the second for McLaughlin in 13 months and follows in an unfortunate tradition of Cardinals players and staff drinking and driving. Former pitcher Josh Hancock was killed in April...

Mariners have shown they are taking the long route
Great to be back in Seattle and looking forward to spring training after a nice couple of weeks off in South Africa and France. As usual, the Mariners timed all of their big moves and non-moves for the moment I left, giving colleague Larry Stone plenty to do. I'll schedule next year's vacation earlier, so that the team doesn't leave you hanging in suspense all winter...

Cardinals Win, Freese Is MVP
This is the kind of World Series it was. David Freese was great and deserves the MVP, but he nearly blew game 6 for his team on a routine popup. Freese had 21 RBIs, breaking the old record of 19 held by Sandy Alomar, Scott Spiezio, and of course David Ortiz. Nelson Cruz, who was stellar in the ALCS, was virtually a non-factor in the Series, and if anything will be remembered for...

We're pleased to announce that we have a three-way tie for the best 2002 story about the Angels Championship run. We had just two of these DVD sets to give away, but I felt leaving one of the three out would be a disservice to one of the three applicants.

By David Saltzer, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer
When AngelsWin.com created our list of the Top-50 Greatest Moments in Angels History, three homer uns stood out above all others. Coming in at #2 was Scott Spiezio’s blast to bring the team back from the edge in Game 6. Coming in at #7 was Tim Salmon’s shot to give the Angels their first ever World Series win.

Divide and Conquer, NL West: Kung-Fu Randa and the Five Corners of Tepidness by Geoff Young
The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary attributes the coinage of "hot corner" as a synonym for third base to one Ren Mulford, who employed it while discussing Cincinnati's Hick Carpenter in 1889. As the 2011 season approaches, a more appropriate term to use in the NL West might be "lukewarm corner."
In San Francisco, the World Champion Giants hope that Pablo...

Is this heaven?
I woke up this morning hardly believing that last night happened. It really, truly happened. The Giants won the World Series for the first time in 56 years, effectively ending the San Francisco drought. The heartbreak of three previous attempts at the title was erased in one swing of the bat by Edgar Renteria. It was extinguished by one slider from Brian Wilson. The torture...

Scott Spiezio? Who's He? Giants 3, Rangers 1
Well, that's over. Edgar Rentaria's three-run blast was, approximately, the last thing you expected to see. The Giants hit 162 home runs in the regular season, or an average of 27 per month (though the 39 they hit in September/October was perhaps a predictor).
Naw. It's just a crazy game. So, congratulations, truly, to the San Francisco Giants, who in 2010 erased years...

2010 World Series Prediction Thread: Rangers vs. Giants
Full disclosure: I’m a massive San Francisco Giants fan. The first time I sat down to watch a baseball game from start to finish was in 1989 when the Giants played my hometown Cubs in the NLCS. Will “The Thrill” Clark put on a clinic in that series and I was hooked ever since.
Of course, the A’s went on to sweep the Giants in the Fall Classic that year and I was introduced...

An Open Letter to Southern California Baseball
Dear Southern California Baseball,
My relationship with you began the moment I decided I was a Giants fan at the age of four. From then on, I knew that I had to possess an irrational but oddly satisfying hatred for the Dodgers. Since then my passion for Giants baseball has not wavered. Then 2002 came along, and it looked like finally my beloved team would be crowned World Series...

Interesting feature on Scott Spiezio's comeback
Scott Spiezio has been the punchline of a lot of jokes, many of them told by me. But I wish him well in his current endeavor, which is to overcome the drug and alcohol problems that derailed his career. The Los Angeles Times today ran a nice story detailing Spiezio's comeback, at age 36 with the Orange County Flyers of the independent Golden Baseball League.
