After intense negotiations, Justin from the That Ball’s Outta Here blog were able to come to an agreement to trade quick-fire questions about each other’s favorite ballclubs. There were players to be named later and undisclosed sums of cash involved. Don’t worry about that, just prepare to read about the Phillies… PH8: The Phillies have […]

I am declaring myself the Medium High Emperor of All-Star Game Voting. Why? Why not? Nobody else has declared themselves “Medium High Emperor”, have they? Besides, it sounds good, and I think it will look great on my updated resume. There are no actual responsibilities or powers that come with the title, but it should be enough […]

I do have an appreciation for the rivalry’s history, and I rank it right up there with Celtics – Lakers, Coke – Pepsi, ND – USC, and Red […]

Within hours of the Cardinals signing Jake Westbrook to a 2 year contract with a mutual option for a 3rd year, much has already been said and written about the deal itself. If you spend enough time searching the blogosphere, you’ll find that the reactions cover the spectrum, and it’s very much a “Goldie […]
