There may be no better man to target for cheap swipes than Houston’s Michael Bourn, right. Welcome back to the 2009 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit. Over the next few weeks, we will be rolling out cheat sheets with analysis, essays and the classic Top 10 Lists that Fantasy Owners Always Wanted But Were ...

One of my new favorite personalities on twitter is Ron Aguirre (@xxldaddyo). Ron was the publisher of the short-lived XXL National Sports Daily in 2006, which was an homage to Frank DeFord’s old “National Sports Daily” from 1990. XXX National Sports Daily was a 150-paged daily PDF ...

Let me start by saying I understand perfectly well that the Tribe had to trade CC Sabathia. The season was over almost before it started, though most of us didn’t realize it until two or three weeks ago. So, with the Tribe unable to get his double-C on a dotted line, the big man had to go. Eve...

Man, that one was really disappointing. We absolutely played like crap, got some breaks, got some drops, scored four runs and tied it in the ninth. And then we went ahead and blew it…And Takashi blew it too. Oh goodness, that was frustrating. I yelled. I wasn’t happy. Maybe we shouldn’t have p...

Furcal was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday and won’t be eligible to return until May 21. But this Dodgers offense, wh...

John Maine went 8 1-3 innings and gave up just 1 run, and the Mets offense tattooed Dodgers starter Brad Penny again, as New York avoided the sweep in dominating fashion, 12-1.

Welcome back to The Opposing Viewpoint, the place to learn more about the Mets’ opponents from the bloggers who write about them. After a series win in Arizona, the Mets will be wrapping up their first West Coast road trip of the season with three games at Dodger Stadium, and so today’s ...

Another great game tonight, but first my best wishes go out to Tommy Lasorda. Apparently Lasorda cut short his trip to the Dominican Republic because of a minor ailment and spent two days in the hospital. They say he is home and okay. We hope you’re feeling better, Tommy. Well, it was definitely a...
