Three Nights in August
I've been a stalwart champion of the Billy Beane school of statistics ever since I first read Moneyball. I've defended the idea that, in spite of never winning a Pennant, Beane's new method of collecting …

St. Louis Cardinals
So you're in the market for a baseball team, and you have a certain set of qualifications that never, ever waver: You want to have a team that wins a lot, but without raiding the whole of the league for …

Philadelphia Phillies
Without a doubt they have the best pitching staff in baseball and that almost always will win a series.

Texas Rangers (baseball)
The Texas Rangers are, if anything, a team with some very unique distinctions. Their all-time roster reads like a list of baseball legends, especially in the managerial department: Whitey Herzog had this …

Little Big League
Little Big League is certainly a 90's movie. There's a precocious little kid in it who gets to do something really big against all reason, logic, or real world possibility. It holds a cosmetic resemblance …

Rookie of the Year
There was once a brilliant spoof of this trope on Futurama: The New New York Mets (and for those not familiar with the show, "New New York" is not a typo) sign Leela to rescue their flagging attendance. …

Sweet Lou and the Cubs
I must make an apology to all of the Cubs fans who may be reading this. In my recent attempt to honor the recently retired all-time managing great Lou Piniella, I set out to read and review a book about …

Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers are less a baseball team than they are a mystique, a special state of mind. The Yankees are identified with dominance. The Cubs are identified with losing. The Reds are identified …

It's funny. I like it. In my experience cheering for the New York teams and the Chicago White Sox, pretty accurate too.

2009 MLB All-Star Game
These things are little more than chances for fans to see if player A is really better than player B. Giving home field advantage in the World Series to the league that wins is a load of grade-a bullshit. …

Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox can't win even for winning. They're not exactly what you would call a charmed team. The images the White Sox provoke in the minds of baseball fans really aren't fair, because the …

Red Sox 1
As a Yankees fan, you had to know I wasn't planning to come into a review of the Boston Red Sox expecting to write a slew of wonderful things about the team. But as a reviewer, I'm obligated to …

New York Mets
My first baseball hat was a Mets cap. The team was the toast of New York City after their 1986 World Series victory, and I was a five-year-old kid in Buffalo who loved his backyard baseball but for whom …

New York Yankees
The New York Yankees teams from the late 70's and 1996 hold special places in the hearts of Yankee fans. That's because the team, in those years, broke the mold that its been traditionally fit into. The …

San Francisco Giants
One of the sport's true classic teams. Formerly of New York, they went to San Francisco in 1958 and built a new legend and history, as well as one of baseball's most understated but great fanbases. Finally …

One of the classic baseball teams, and the National League team of the 90's. Even though they only won the World Series once in the 90's, the still won four Pennants and are the only team to have ever …

This is a pretty awesome map! Looks like the Dodgers need head East to claim a bit more land!

Fact: The Los Angeles Dodgers are the best team ever in the history of baseball. Also, Vin Scully is not a bad announcer at all.

It's always fun to watch an Oakland A's / SF Giants game. The A's are a tough team; the famous Worlds Series game when SF was hit with a 7.2 earthquake was a moment to remember. It's even more fun when …
