3 games of interest
1. Iowa at Wisconsin, 11 AM CT.
The Badgers really need a bounceback win after last week’s loss at Ohio State. That was an incredibly frustrating game. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where the final score and the state sheet were so far...

As I was watching parts of the ALCS tonight I realized how easy it would be for the Cubs to not just be favorites in the NL, but huge favorites. Really, it’s very simple. The team could easily do it if they wanted to and there’s really no reason not to. Here’...

Josh Vitters does not get cheated at the plate. By which I mean, this kid really likes to swing the bat. A lot.
Now, we all know that a team’s hitting coach is about as important as what color tee-shirt the ballboy wears under his jersey, but Bruce Miles has some interesting...

It’s too bad FOX isn’t carrying this series, as I think it’s a far more interesting than the New York-Disneyland one. I’ve got too many errands to run, so here’s a quick mini-analysis (no wonder all the other blogs continuously blast this one for being...

We’ve had a lot of discussion around here about the 2nd base job next season. There aren’t any projection systems available yet, but I thought it might be a good idea if we come up with some numbers. The 4 players often talked about are Mike Fontenot, Jeff Baker, Placido...
