What a Game! What a Series! What a Season! What a Team!

Never has a motto been more true than theirs: "Stay in the Fight." The Nats lost arguably their best player (Bryce Harper) to free agency before the season began. They were 19-31 on May 23. Heads were gunna role. But they never gave up and eventually finished the season 93-69, making it to the playoffs as a wildcard.

Last year's Trade Deadline

This is why we don't trade all our amazing players away at the trade deadline!!! These were the ONLY players on the Detroit Tigers Baseball Club I could recall at the moment!!! Sorry, but...... that was a big mistake. I'm very glad we invested into a new General Manager. Hopefully he will not make the biggest mistake that a general Manager could make. I make this sound like our old GM went mad. Actually I see what he was doing even though it was a huge risk.

Don't Do This, Don't Do That: MLB Player Contracts Forbid Just About Everything

Major League baseball players have the life. They spend February and March enjoying sunny Arizona or Florida, get paid big bucks to play a game for the next six months (seven, if it's a good season) and then do whatever they want the other three to four months of the year. Well, maybe not "whatever" they want. As salaries increased, restrictions in MLB player contracts have, too.

The Rise of Tito Francona

Why 2013 has been Terry Francona's second best managerial job, and will finally culminate with him being awarded Manager of the Year. Like others, Terry Francona has had a number of ups and downs during his thirteen years as a professional manager. From the highest of highs in 2004 and 2007 as a World Series Champion to the lowest of lows when he was fired from the Philadelphia Phillies (not recording any winning seasons) and the debacle of the 2011 Red Sox who "chocked" a 9 game September lead as Boston missed the playoffs, leading to the departure of Francona in Boston.

Projecting The Future of New York City Baseball

For the last two decades, New Yorkers have held one inescapable truth: the Yankees are better than the Mets. Since 1995, when Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera came up for the Yankees, the Bronx Bombers have barely missed the playoffs and put up five World Series banners. The Mets have endured nearly a dozen losing season and made only one World Series – losing to, you guessed it, the Yankees.

The Many Faces of Alex Rodriguez

This week, the career of the most talented player in baseball history will end. It will end through scandal, by proscription from Major League Baseball. At 37, injured, and buried neck deep in evidence of violations of baseball's drug policies, Rodriguez is finished. Whether for a year, a year and a half, or for life, Rodriguez's coming suspension will end his career because no team will let him stain the uniform.
