USA Today Sports has reported that the Mariners have been somehow leveraged into a 7 year, $175M contract extension for Felix Hernandez, because you can never pay too much to be a solid 4th place ahead of the Astros. Granted, that shouldn’t be viewed as the floor for an Adam Wainwright extension, but even seeing […]

“…very unlikely that he will pitch in 2013.” – John Mozeliak, Cardinals GM (about 20 minutes ago) “Well, FU*%!” -Me, just now If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, then it’s probably forced retirement in the near future. Grrr.

This bit of news is a few weeks old, but I wanted to share for multiple reasons. One, someone had a chance at, and presumably won, a fishing trip with Chris Carpenter.

The win wasn’t without its own fair share of heartburn, though, as the hometown Giants tried their best to replicate the Cards’ miracle comeback […]

If you saw any baseball on this same day in 2011, you undoubtedly remember at least some sense of euphoria or bitter disappointment, or maybe even both simultaneously. Game 162 for a good portion of the teams in MLB usually amounts to either one last opportunity to see prospects in game action or a chance […]

Feeling like you may have a touch of the 96-hour flu coming on? Have a tummy ache that seems destined to make you feel tethered to your bathroom for a few days? Decided you cannot possibly miss Chris Carpenter’s return to the rotation at 1:20pm on Friday against the Cubs? Wait….wut? Obviously Mike Matheny wasn’t […]
