Picking Up the Broken Pieces of the 2010 Cubs

Our team just lost consecutive weekend series to the Pirates.  I think that’s the best way to describe this team: we routinely lose to the Pirates.  At least for now.  So where do we go from here?
First, we need Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez to start hitting.  They are the ONLY weak link in our [...]

Hey small market teams, eat sh*t and die.

The baseball off-season has been slow to develop, unless your team was already awesome.  The Yanks got Granderson; the Sawx got Lackey and Mike Cameron; the Phillies traded one ace to Seattle (Lee) for another from Toronto (Halladay); the Angels got Matsui; the Mets will probably land Jason Bay; the Cardinals are desperate to re-sign [...]

Charlie Manual: “We’re gonna start Cliff Lee in games 6 and 7.”

Phillies’ manager Charlie Manual announced his starting pitchers for game 6 and 7 of the World Series: Cliff Lee.  The Phillies’ ace is coming off a game 5 win on Monday, after pitching a complete-game win in game 1, and will be coming off a two day rest and zero day rest between his next [...]

Total-Lee, Complete-Lee, Utter-Lee, Absolute-Lee, Thorough-Lee, Positive-Lee Dominant

I think I covered all the cheesy puns that will appear on sports pages this morning.  News papers are predictable.  Maybe THAT’s why they’re going out of business, because they use puns as headlines.  Anyway, Cliff Lee pitched one of the great games in World Series History last night.  It would have been a shutout [...]

Dapper Dan Wins it for the Phillies

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 [...]

Whoever Wins, Philly fans are Gonna Get Stabby

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 [...]

Sausage Links

Today on Sausage links we have a feature instead of multiple links.  This is a piece about how depressing it is to be a Cleveland Indians fan right now because you have to watch your consecutive Cy Young winners, CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee, pitch against each other in the World Series for teams other [...]

Phillies: Y’all Must Have Forgot

As if quoting Roy Jones Jr.’s terrible rap debut, the Phillies came out yesterday and reminded everyone why they were the defending champs and the favorites to win the NL this season.  They d*ck-slapped the Dodgers to the tune of 11-0, including a Ryan Howard triple.  If you can’t keep Ryan Howard from running from [...]

Thoughts on the Deadline Deals

Hey there readers.  I know that everyone has already weighed in on the trades made right before the deadline, but I have an excuse for being late to the party.  There was a  wedding in The Other Fifteen family, as our Vice President and Co-Creator Patrick Carey got married to his longtime better half.  It [...]
