  • Hunting Trips of a Ranchman

    “One of the pleasantest times of camping out is the period immediately after supper, when the hunters lie in the blaze of the firelight, talking over what they have done during the day and making their plans for the morrow. And how soundly a man who has worked hard sleeps in the open, none but…

  • Lackey and Heyward

    The Lackey and Heyward acquisitions were definitely questionable, trading away Kelly & Miller. Pitching injuries already this year, make those moves look even worse. That said, I’m still optimistic on Heyward.

  • Pitch Smart

    As baseball seasons hit full swing, it is time for my annual infomercial for parents of kids who pitch. Why do I keep posting this stuff? One, cause I want to see local kids, friends kids, etc who love the game, to grow up and play at the highest levels possible. Two, because a significant…

  • Oligarchy?

    Great read from a former U.S. Senator. “Gary Hart: Dare We Call It Oligarchy?“ “The net affect of the money machine — lobbyists, fund raisers, and campaign consultants — is to severely narrow the field of those who can compete for office.”

  • Matt Carpenter’s Channels Willie Mayes Hays

    Matty Carpenter channeling his inner Willie Mays Hayes. And in case you forgot that awesome exchange between Hayes and Parkman in Major League 2: Hayes: “If I get the chance to score, we’ll see who’s afraid. I don’t intend to slide.” Parkman: “You don’t? You better little man. Just cause your movie bombed doesn’t mean…
