In last night’s World Series game 1, Chase “Dapper Dan” Utley hit two homers to break a stalemate between Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia. Eventually, the Phillies went on to score a few more runs against the Yankees bullpen after Utley “Chase-d” CC from the game (see what I did there?). And Cliff Lee went [...]

The World Series is here! There are so many cool angles to this matchup. There are the two best lineups in baseball, two great three-man rotations, former teammates and back-to-back Cy Young winners CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee facing off in game 1 (and maybe more than once), Pedro vs. the Yankees in a contest [...]

ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips proved why he doesn’t work for any teams after being fired by the Mets. Phillips just said on air that he didn’t think the Yankees should start CC Sabathia today because starters on short rest in the playoffs historically have a worse record than when they start on a full [...]

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 [...]
