Those media training programs sure do pay off. Now, obviously this falls squarely in the “well, what are they supposed to say?” or “what do you expect them to say?” line of thinking (unless you’re Mark Worrell), but I’ve found it interesting to hear very similar comments from Zack Cox, Ryan Jackson, Jordan Swagerty, Lance [...]

With the promotion of Chris Maloney to the big league staff, the wheels starting turning on how to make the entire organization better. Prized prospect Shelby Miller and his key right arm certainly factor into the decision now that the rest of the chips have fallen into place. (Ed. Note: the regular Friday posts will [...]

Once the Cardinals found TLR’s replacement, the real mission for the next few months finally began. Building the 2012 roster will in a large part be determined by how a certain first base option chooses where to sign. Not to say the rest of the 40 man roster isn’t just as important, but the truth [...]

Below is my ballot – we elected to have three different ballots so that we could all express our own opinions without having to argue which way to direct a single PH8 [...]

They weren’t supposed to be here. Ten-and-a-half games [...]

There is nothing quite like a close World Series game….followed by one complaint after another. In no particular order, I’ve heard or read variations of the following: Jon Jay couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a baseball from 20 feet away. Albert Pujols should have avoided making an error at all times. Ian [...]

Jack Moore of Disciples of Uecker (U before the E, fools), Fangraphs, and Roto Hardball joins us to talk Brewers baseball. Luckily his segment was recorded before the weekend series, so he couldn’t embarrass us. (I’m sure that’s bound to come in the comments.) Additionally, despite the title of this episode, I’m still a relatively [...]

This is one last desperate plea from Statler, Waldorf, and myself. Kyle McClellan joined the two Muppets in the back of the theater, but he doesn’t want to speak on his on behalf at this point. That’s fine. I’m bringing the heat and blathering enough for all 4 of us. We’ve got one simple message. Leave [...]
