  • Boston Red Sox Fans Aren’t That Faithful When The Team Isn’t Good

    Boston Red Sox Fans Aren’t That Faithful When The Team Isn’t Good

    The Boston Red Sox and their fans are usually quite proud of their ballpark, Fenway Park, and of the strong national following they have, helping the team achieve a sellout streak of 820 games. But after three consecutive seasons of not making the playoffs and despite the promising start to 2013, the streak is over.

  • 10 Most Valuable MLB Teams

    10 Most Valuable MLB Teams

    Five divisions from both leagues make up the 10 most valuable teams in Major League baseball, with two coming from the NL Central (Cardinals & Cubs), the AL West (Angels & Rangers), NL West (Giants & Dodgers), NL East (Mets & Phillies) and the AL East (Red Sox & Yankees).

  • Trade Rumors – Where is R.A. Dickey Going

    Trade Rumors – Where is R.A. Dickey Going

    It is rare, but five Cy Young winners in the past started the next season on a different team. Despite having a contract for next season, the New York Mets are seriously considering trading R.A. Dickey if an agreement on an extension can’t be reached.

  • Oakland A’s and Washington Nationals Defy Big Payroll Policies

    Is having a big payroll a waste of money in the MLB? I guess it all depends on how you manage that salary expenditure. The New York Yankees, constantly the highest paying team in Baseball, are pretty much a constant fixture in the postseason. The success of the Oakland Athletics and the Washington Nationals is a little bit more surprising.

  • Ichiro Suzuki With His First Big Game (Red Sox vs Yankees)

    Not that he hasn’t had big games in the past, but for Ichiro Suzuki to hit his first multiple home run game, as a New York Yankee, against the Boston Red Sox, is completely different than anything else he’s done in the past with the Seattle Mariners. Like it or not, it simply means more on a national level.

  • Boston Red Sox – The End of the Bobby Valentine Era?

    How bad is it for the Boston Red Sox in 2012? Well, 57-60 deep into August, 12.5 games behind the division leading New York Yankees and 6.5 games away from the Wild Card spot, occupied by two teams from the AL East. As postseason might have showed, the Bobby Valentine experience isn’t going too well.

  • Welcome to the 2012 MLB Season, Where Higher Payrolls Mean Your Team Sucks

    Money usually means success, in the long run at least, when you talk about Major Leauge Baseabll. With no cap limits, teams that spend more money end up getting the best player, more wins and plenty of times more rings. In the 2012 season, so far, the four highest spending teams – Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies and Angels, aren’t working according to formula.

  • Bullpen Problems Get Worse and Worse (Yankees vs Red Sox)

    Bobby Valentine got booed harder and harder every time he went up to the mound and made another pitching substitution. Each move he made just got worse and worse, as the New York Yankees came back from 0-9 to win 15-9 in Fenway Park, furthering the suffering of the rather dim 100 year Fenway Park celebrations for the Boston Red Sox.

  • The Top Ten Highest Paid MLB Players in 2012

    Alex Rodriguez leads the highest salary list in MLB once again, getting overpaid for producing less and less each year, like most huge contracts tend to do. He’s joined by two other Yankees in the top 4, while the Detroit Tigers send three players as well into the list of mostly overpaid players.

  • Baseball Is Nearly Back, If You’ve Noticed

    The 2012 Baseball season has already started, but it hasn’t been really noticed. The NBA, despite of the lockout, didn’t really take a hit in popularity. Too many stars, too many crowd-pleasers in the league right now. March Madness and College Basketball has been extremely appeasing, despite the apparent uneven field. We’ll see if Kansas can do something about it.
