Cardinals pitching coach and resident Jedi Master, Dave Duncan, has taken a leave of absence from the team due to “family reasons”. As a fan of baseball, the Cardinals, and the man himself, I sincerely wish him and his family nothing but the best. His wife, Jeanine, has been involved in a well-documented fight with […]

New Year’s resolutions typically fall into the same category as making your bed every morning – tremendous wastes of time. By the time December 31st rolls around, how many people even can recall all the resolutions they made? Instead of focusing on that marathon you never really intend to run, the 20 pounds you won’t make […]

Oh, sorry. I got […]

Kudos to the people at A&E Networks Home Entertainment who recognized that the 2011 World Series story would not be complete without discussing the mad dash to the finish, the penultimate game 162, and the defeat of 2 baseball powerhouses en route to the World Series. Don’t let the title fool you, though. This DVD set […]

Baseball’s offseason is a great time to play “Armchair GM”, and there may be no better way to engage other players than by posing a question that starts with “What if”. Just present a reasonable scenario to a group of avid baseball fans, and then sit back to enjoy the show. In no particular order, […]
