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’m in Chicago this week for the Jewish holiday’s and my 10 year high school reunion, which should be really interesting when I tell them that I do THIS with my life now. I just got off the phone with my grandmother making plans to pick her up tomorrow for morning services, and was reminded [...]

It’s universally understood that Kenny Williams is a good GM. He rutinely rescues valuable players from the scrapheap, makes bold trades, and basically pulls out every trick in the book to keep his team in contention every year. But I think he’s gone mad with power. We get it Kenny, you grabbed Scott Podsednik after [...]
That’s right. Rusty Kuntz. This is a real person. A person who played baseball. A person who is currently the first base coach for the Kansas City Royals, with the name “Kuntz” displayed proudly across the back of his jersey. He had a short and relatively undistinguished 7 year career in the MLB, playing for [...]

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 [...]

So for the three of you out there who don’t know yet, White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game yesterday. In the 9th inning Ozzy Guillen decided to put in defensive replacement Dewayne Wise in center field. As if to prove this was the right move, Wise then proceeded to rob Gabe Kapler [...]
So the Cubbies just had a crazy weekend that took them from “It’s just not going to happen for them this year” to “once we get Aramis Ramirez back, we’re gonna wreck the rest of the division.” We had 3 straight amazing 9th inning or extra inning comeback wins, and a blowout on Sunday to [...]

So I did a running diary of yesterday’s Cubs v. White Sox game, which ended up being a terrible decision. It was a horrible game, and I had already committed to watching and commenting on the entire thing. It’s hard to describe just how painful that game was to watch. It was like having to [...]
Cubs/Sox. The battle for Chicago will be decided today. Well, not really. It’s just another game. If you really want to know who wins, check here and here. But if you want a quick preview, just look to the right. I’m pretty sure you know who wins, but just in case, look below it for [...]
