Armando Benitez has cursed us all, and the founder of Benitez Has Cursed Us, David Schubert, wants you all to stand up and recognize, yo. If you think that sentence makes no sense, then you should try following the stream of semi-consciousness that is Schube’s Twitter feed. He’s a sucker for misspelled words and ignorance, […]
When you your mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention, you must somehow dictate those thought particles or risk losing them forever. Think of it as “situational blogging”. The nearly inevitable post of random unrelated pieces of information and theories of quantum baseball mechanics basically amounts […]

With each passing year, many of us bemoan the selection process for the MLB All-Star game. The game counts, yet the selection process rules include a popularity contest with skewed voting numbers, a requirement straight from 2nd grade P.E., and a last gasp effort to pick the final addition based on how many people can […]
If you are going to prognosticate and likely do a poor job of it, you might as well start by shaking up your Magic 8 Ball and thinking about the National League West division first. It may very well be a 2 team race out West, but I would not want to put money on […]

Last week I asked the question, “If the Cardinals could add anyone, whom should they add?” I was curious to see which active player — with accompanying contract — Cards fans desire the most. Big thanks to all of you who participated in the poll. We got more than 150 votes, and they were quite […]

Giants Dodgers Padres Rockies Diamondbacks They’ve got a full year of Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, and they’ve got some potential breakthrough talent (Brandon Belt).

This piece was originally titled “World’s Worst 5×5 Fantasy League Baseball Guide for Spork Users“, but I determined that was decidely too pessimistic and catered to a very small audience (spork users).
