It always puzzles me when managers decide to manage differently in the playoffs. I get it in the fifth game of a Best-of-Five or the seventh game of a Best-of-Seven but beyond that, it always leaves me shaking my head. It happened again early Saturday morning in the Angels-Red

On September 11, 2008, pitcher Junichi Tazawa, one of Japan’s top prospects, announced he would ignore the

Crickets.
Sure, Carlos Lee is somewhat overrated due to his RBI totals. But he's still a big part
It’s been a little over a month since the “official” unofficial trade deadline passed and about a week since the other trade deadline. With the dust finally settled, now is as good a time as any to assess the players who have changed addresses and how they’re

Most people begin by looking at the “Triple Crown” stats, and whether the player's team is good. Clutch hitting usually enters the conversation, starting pitchers are almost totally ignored (despite

By Michael Frissore In January 2009 former Boston Red Sox leftfielder Jim Rice will either finally be voted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame or he will have missed in his last chance at Cooperstown. Rice received 72.2 percent of the Hall of Fame vote in 2008, just
