The Yankees beat the Angels last night to advance to the World Series for the first time since 2003. They also haven’t won since 2000. Did you know that? Because apparently they are supposed to win every year. A whole 6 years since they’ve been there? And we somehow survived? 8 years since they’ve won, [...]

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (yes that is still their stupid name) are facing elimination today in their playoff series against the Yankees. Normally when the Angels have their back against the wall they turn to their mascot of come-from-behind wins, the Rally Monkey. Unfortunately they could find no comfort in their primate friend, [...]

So earlier today I said that I had been wrong in calling the Yanks/Angels series non-competitive. Then the Yankees made the Angels toss their salads on live television. CC versus Kazmir is supposed to be a good pitchers duel, which it was for the first few scoreless innings. You would have thought that CC would [...]

Yesterday I said that neither series in the baseball playoffs was competitive. And though the Phillies won in dramatic fashion in a close game, I’m right about that one. It’s 3-1 and the Phillies are sure to win the series with their superior rotation and lineup. However, the Yankees/Angels series turned an interesting page. The [...]

OMG, you guys. Last night’s games were, like, totes lame, right? Seriously though, one of those games was won on an error and a bases-loaded walk, while the other was won on three errors. That’s shitty baseball. I was super psyched to see Pedro pitch (and he didn’t disappoint), and to see the Yanks/Angels series [...]

Yesterday the Red Sox blew a ninth inning lead in an elimination game and lost to the Angels, getting swept out of the playoffs in embarrassing fashion. They brought out their Papelboner in the ninth inning, and were about to finish when the Angels rallied and caused a serious case of playoff blue balls thanks [...]

For those of you that haven’t seen any of the playoff games, good for you. I guarantee you were doing something better. And for those of you, like me, who have watched them closely: I’m sorry. Seriously. These games have sucked. My eyes want a refund. Here’s my break down:
Rockies at Philly Game 1
BORING! Normally [...]

During the All-Star break, JD and I got together to make our second half predictions for playoff teams, award winners, etc. I know hindsight is 20/20, but man, we were WAY off. Here’ the first half covering the AL:

I know I’m a day or so late on this one, but I had to speak up. Vladimir Guererro recently joined one of the most exclusive clubs in the long history of baseball. By hitting his 400th homer, Vlad joined Babe Ruth, Lou Gherig, Ted Williams, Jimmy Foxx, and Stan Musial as the only men [...]
