The Rangers’ Bullpen Woes by Buddy Biancalana
The World Series that very few folks outside of Missouri and Texas wanted to see turned out to be incredibly entertaining. Congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers on an outstanding Series and season. The most memorable moment for me was seeing both, the exhilaration and anticipation on the face of MVP David Freese as [...]
A Fresh Look Into the Final Four of Baseball (2011)
Written by Rob Bertrand Who would have thought that an ALCS and NLCS without any of baseball’s major market teams would be so exciting? Lots of people actually. As much as the Phillies, Yankees and Red Sox bring to the table in terms of fan following and TV ratings, there is a whole other audience [...]

2010 SF Giants World Series Victory Parade: A Fans-Eye View!
The Giants’ World Series victory was spectacular!! I had spent the previous day working at the Polling Booth, starting at 6 am until 9 pm.

SF Giants Championship Parade Video & World Series Prints to Buy
Congratulations to the Giants who have now won World Series Championships in both New York and San Francisco! From the perspective of a non-Giants fan, someone who hasn’t had the priveledge to see them play very often if at all, I’d have to say that I was impressed by the pitching in general on this [...]
A Giants Fan’s Elation on their 2010 World Series Championship
The San Francisco Giants are the 2010 World Series Champions, the champions of the baseball world. They are the champions for the first time since 1954, and for the first time in San Francisco. Nothing can ever take this away from them. Wow!!! I cannot think of anything that more that can express my feelings [...]
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CIVILITY?
In the wake of the surprising but deserving San Francisco Giants winning the World Series came word that numerous riots broke out on the city streets. Is there any plausible reason for this adolescent behavior? What have fans become? Why, after a big victory in sports do fans have to act like idiots (Here’s a [...]
The Giants First World Series Victory in San Fransisco
Congratulations to all SF fans… This must have been a close series MVP race between Renteria and Lincecum! If Renteria actually does retire, what a way to go! I was also impressed with the post season play of rookie catcher Buster Posey and OF Cody Ross who was a waiver wire pick up! The Giants [...]
The Giants are in the World Series!!
Image by Getty Images via @daylife The Giants eliminated the Phillies in six games to win the 2010 National League Championship to go on to the World Series to play the Texas Rangers.

Yankees’ Ten Most Pivotal Postseason Performers
As the New York Yankees bask in the afterglow of their unprecedented 27th World Championship, let’s take a look back at the ten biggest contributors to that title. Without these men, the Yankees’ postseason might have ended a lot earlier: 1. Alex Rodriguez: After the Yankees won the World Series, A-Rod looked to be the [...]
Yankees Manager Girardi Risks Life After 27th Championship
Image by Keith Allison via Flickr So, when interviewers asked Yankees manager Joe Girardi where he was going after managing the NY Yankees to their 27th World Series Championship, did he say he would be going to Disneyland? Maybe he did, I don’t know because being a Red Sox fan I didn’t keep the TV [...]
Congratulations to the 2009 World Series Champion NY Yankees

Don’t Stop BeLEEvin’
Image via Wikipedia As the popular 1981 Journey song from their hit recording Escape reminds us to “Don’t Stop Believin’” I also found out that the song was adopted by the 2005 Chicago White Sox when they were in that year’s Fall Classic. Wikipedia also has the following story regarding the song’s connection to baseball. [...]
My 2009 World Series Prediction
The Clash of the Titans For those of who who are not excited about this year’s Fall Classic between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies, think it over for a minute…and while you’re at it read this snippet from Adam Becker’s article over at Baseball Reflections called, “Get Over It!“. After you read [...]

This first one is presented to you by Comcast… This one is the Harry Kalas tribute video 4/17/09 Citizens Bank Park… This one is slower with snap [...]
Get Over It!
Image via Wikipedia For those of us that are not Yankees or Phillies fans, perhaps we should simply put our disappointments and jealousies aside and enjoy what should truly be a Fall Classic. Believe me, as a lifetime Mets fan, I am as unhappy as anyone that I have to sit through another World Series [...]

Werth the Wait in Philadelphia
Phillies Win Their 2nd World Series Title The Philadelphia Phillies have won the 2008 World Series 4 games to 1 over the Tampa Bay Rays, ending their (the Rays’) Cinderella season. 48 hours after the start of Game 5, they resumed it from the bottom of the 6th tied at 2. They won the series [...]
Game 5 To Resume on Wednesday Night
I just read an article on SI.com by Joe Sheehan also of Baseball Prospectus entitled, “Unconventional Thinking: MLB makes right decision to cancel” that states that game 5 will not resume tonight as was originally planned. Instead, it will be played Wednesday night at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia. What that does to a possible [...]
For the First Time in World Series History…
For the first time in the history of the World Series, a game has been suspended due to rain. The game was suspended immediately after the top of the 6th inning, after the Rays tied the game at 2 all in that half inning. MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has since said that the game was [...]
Philadelphia is One Win Away from Baseball Euphoria!
After this weekend the Phillies have taken a commanding 3 games to 1 lead over the Rays going into tonight’s game at home at Citizen’s Bank Park. In game 3, the Phillies 45 year old starter Jamie Moyer pitched better than anyone thought was possible against the Rays Matt Garza (MVP of the ALCS). He [...]
Now It’s a Best of 5!
The Tampa Bay Rays Win Game 2 The Series is Now Tied at 1 Game a Piece The Rays James Shields didn’t pitch great, but all he had to do was pitch better than the Phillies Bret Myers (I know, I know. I spelled Myers wrong yesterday) and he did. He got into trouble at [...]
My Thoughts on Game 1…
Phillies Take Game 1 with a Score of 3-2 First, I’ll toot my own horn. This was a must win for the Phillies. They needed to win at least 1 out of 2 in Tampa Bay in order to have any chance at winning the series. This was their best chance at doing that with [...]
2008 World Series Preview
Tampa Bay Rays (97-65) Vs. Philadelphia Phillies (92-70) This first area of concern I have is how long the Phillies had to wait for the Rays to eliminate the Red Sox (95-67). It has been a week since the Phillies have played against an opponent as they eliminated the Dodgers (84-78) in 5 games while [...]
